Chief Industry OF Town Near Cadiz
Bay p The Making OF Wine :.
"Jerez," pronounced "Herr-ayes,"
about ten miles inland from Cadiz Bay,
is a corruption Of the Arab 'Sherish."
Sherry was as near as the English
came to it, and this wine, made popu-
lar in England by Sir Francis Drake
and Frobisher, put Jerez on the map.
Sherry, as Sir Francis Drake knew
1t, was pale, sweet wine. 1t was not
until the '70s of the last century that
dry sherry became the vogue in Eng
land. Then they served it as we now
serve tea, says the National Geographic
Magazine.
Besides Sherries and eognacs, cham
payne and the highest grade Of white
wine are made In Jerez. The lives Of
the city's 10000 and more inhabitants
are closely linked with wine produc-
ton. This region seems peculiarly fitted

FRANCE BUTTS
into BESSARABIA
AGAINST RUSSIA
Chicherin Hits Poincare
For Interference

MOSCOW, Russia, April 29.-Pro-
test against the French Chambers
ratification of the Bessarabian Proto-
col has been sent Poincare by Glitch
erin, Peoples Commissary of Foreign
Affairs. The Soviet government en-
phatically opposes the official French
support of Roumanian troops occupy
ing Bessarabian territory, especially
when negotiations for recognition are
going on between Russia and Rou-
mania.
France has already seriously ham,
pered recognition proceedings be-
tween China and Soviet Russia and
is now playing the interfering "third
party in the Roumanian negotiations.
Russia warns France that she is con-
tributing to the unsettled conditions
in eastern Europe and that whatever
losses are incurred in Bessarabia will
be laid to Frances door.
A crowded meeting of Bessarabian
emigrants now in Leningrad passed a
resolution endorsing all the resolu-
tons adopted by the Bessarbian ma
tionals in Moscow.
Reports from the Odessa. Podolsk
and Dniestr river areas show that
numerous meetings of Bessarbians
and Ukrainians are continued to be
held there, protesting against the oc-
cupation of Roumania and demanding
her identification with Ukraine.
In a resolution passed at a big meet

pol (Russo-Roumanian frontier), ap-
peal is made to the workers of the

WASHINGTON, April 29.-When
Senator Brookhart, chairman of the

the committees resolution calling for
the arrest Of Nal Daugherty, presi-
dent of the Midland National Bank
at Washington Court House, Ohio, for
contempt, Senator Jones of Washing

was in the chair. Only handful of
senators were present. Jones knew
that roll call on this resolution
would do his party no good in the cam
paign. He started to put it quickly
thru. Smoot, less cautious, demanded
quorum call
When quorum had been secured
Jones rapidly announced that the res
olution was before the Senate, and
without restating it's terms he began
again the process of rushing it thru.
Some of the newly arrived old guard
asked that the resolution be read, and
then asked for roll call. But Jones
took no chances. He ratified off the
formula for consideration, amend
ment and final passage of the resolu-
ton by viva voce vote, and in spite of
few loud noes" from his own side
he firmly declared the resolution car

over a month and are fighting against
ten per cent reduction in wages.
They have picketed the asylum. and
first used blackthorn sticks to impress
strike breakers, but they were dis
armed by the Civic Guards, the So

Free State. A cook who persisted in
ignoring the strike was kidnapped and
after her release refused to approach
the asylum any more.
The scab attendants modified the
better behaved lunatics to assist them

chased them back to the asylum. The
Civic. Guards then attacked the crowd
with batons, wounding several women.

MELLON DODCES
INVESTIGATIONS;
TAxPLAN SLIPS
Democrats Winning In
Senate Fight

WASHINGTON, April 29.- After
weeks of maneuvering, senate leaders
today unleashed their forces to fight
out the income and surtax rates which
will be levied on the nation next year.
The Democratic plan is for a 40
per cent surtax. Progressives want
so per cent which is the present law.
The house adopted a 371a per cent
compromise. Secretary Mellon asks
rs per cent. Indications as the fight
got under way were that the demo
cratic rates would triumph.
Meanwhile, Secretary Mellon is vo-
ciferously denying charges that gov
eminent bonds have been duplicated.
Mellon, in report to Coolidge, said
that the charges made by Charles B.
Bremen, department of Justice Agent,
had been completely disproved by an
exhaustive investigation by the Treas
ury department itself.
Mellon is having hot time between
his wealthy clients clamoring for the
reduction of their taxes and the sen.
ate investigators who are after his
scalp to hang in their belts with Falls
and Denby's and Daugherty's.
The Secretary of the Treasurer is
attempting to hide his crookedness BY
having Congress send his denial in
the Congressional record all over the
country.

Venus Pencils Come High
Atty. Bachrach, counsel for the COM
planning firm, Sidney Morris G. Co.,
Chicago, described the struggle of his
clients to obtain goods from the sup
ply firms, because they would not
hold up the profiteering prices set
by the Chicago Stationers' Associa-
ton and the national association of
the trade. The sales manager of the
Globe-Wernicke filing cabinet con-
Germ, for example, would not sell
them $4,000 worth of goods for cash,
unless they received permission from
four rival retailers in Chicago to
make the purchase. The American
Pencil Co. refused to furnish them
with Venus bSNnd pencils, which cost
the retailers cents each, unless they
would maintain the retailers price of
10 cents each. When he finally
brought suit in the federal court in
Chicago, under the antitrust law, the
combine settled the case for 81, 500
and the agreement of the firm to
maintain the standard profiteer
prices.
Bachrach said that Mr.. Galloway,
assistant to Daugherty, said at their
first interview that he could easily
convict the conspirators on the evid-
ence of their association year books,
but that afterward Galloway wrote
him that he could not discuss prose-
cutions since the department was
making a full investigation of the
case.
No phase of the case was ever pre-
scented by the department to a grand
jury. The gouging goes on.

WASHINGTON April 25.-The Sen
ate Committee on Commerce, Sena-

chairman, reported the White Bill
to regulate Alaska fisheries with the
Sutherland and McKeown amend
ments eliminated, with the recon-
mendation that 1t pass.
AS recommended by the Senate the
Alaska fisheries bill is the original
White Bill as ii came from the House
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries. While it was being con-
sidered in the House Delegate Suth-

prohibited the construction of fish

Alaska the entrance of which meas

or in any channel under three miles

An amendment to this amendment
which would include purse selnes

tative Tom McKsown of Oklahoma.
Both amendments were adopted in
the House and both eliminated by the

The bill as it passed the House

Jones Says it Makes Right Start.
Senator Jones of Washington,
