Of PERMITS
ON WINE PLANNED
Several Hundred Thousand

Another relic OF pre- prohibition days
hes been marked for a swift end by
Trea eury officials.
Some several hundred thousand
wine-makinC permits which have en-

the Eolstead act have come under
the searchlight of the new prohibition
regime and viii he revoked under "A
regulation to be promulgated prob
ably within the next day or two. The
permits as issued allow a maximum
annual production by the holder, tax
free, of 200 gallons. They are held
largely in the foreign quarters Of
the larger cities and are suspected of
contributing heavily to the Illicit sup
ply.
Sacramento Wine Leaks.
Leaks of sacramental wine into
Illicit channels also are TO be plugged
up. Assistant Secretary Andrews, the
Trea surv's prohibition field marshal,
has reached an agreement with Jewish
leaders, whose churches are the
largest users of sacramento wine, for
new regulations, expected TO be issued
this week sharply reducing the
amount Of wine now permitted to be
Withdrawn for religious purposes.
Church heads of the Jewish faith
were said TO have given every CO
operation to Trea Sury officials in their
efforts TO shut off diversion of saCra-
mental wine to Illicit uses, and both
believe the forthcoming regulation Will
accomplish that end without hamper

CRISIS IS REACHED
IN AFRICA PARLEYS
Chile Continues to Abstain
From Meeting on EIec-
ton Law Issue.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AFRICA, Chile. November 23.-An-
other crisis has been reached in the
Tacna-Arica plebiscatory situation.
The Chileans assert that it is impos
sible for them to proceed in the work
of the commission until an election
law is approved and emphatically de-
clare their intention to abstain until
their demand is met.
AuguStin Edwards. head of the
Chilean delegation, on instructions
from his government, withdrew Sat
urday from participation in the com
missions work. He presented a note
to Gen. PershinG, head of the com
mission, phrased in vigorous terms
declaring that the government had
instructed the delegates to abstain
from all proceedings of the commits
sion, or subsidiary bodies. unless the
proceedings related strictly and di-
rectly to regulations for registration
and voting"
Contrary to Award.
Senior Edwards asked Gen. PershinC
to include in the agenda of the next
meeting a resolution in which the
election law committee is ordered to
issue a report not later than Dccem-
ber 10, to be approved by the commits
sion not later than December Is: reg
istration to begin not later than De
cember 20 and close January 10. so
that the plebiscite might be held Feb
ruary /.
In addition to their demand for an
election law, the Chileans contend
that measures which the commission
fs approving are contrary not only
to the Chilean Interpretation of PreSi-
dent Coolidge's award, but contrary
to the Chilean constitution.
Resolution Adopted.
The commission met yesterday and
adopted a resolution that it was the
duty of the Chilean government not
to permit the entry into plebiscitary
territory for permanent residence
therein of persons whose presence
the commission thought incompatible
with fair and orderly plebiscite
Another resolution was passed remov-
ing from their posts four minor
Chilean officials for using their au-
thority in a manner contrary to a
free plebiscite. No Chileans attend
ed the meeting.
With reference to the first resolu-
ton. American opinion holds that eX-
pulsion of persons whose presence
would be incompatible with order is
no new procedure in Tacna-Arica, as
in 1910 the Chilean government ex-
PEELED Peruvian priests, and because
the resolution was the act of the com
mission, which was created by inter
national agreement, the resolution as
sumed the aspect of an international
treaty and 1t became Chile's duty
under international law to fulfill the
provisions of that treaty.

HUSBAND OF DUNE GIRL
CRAZED AT FUNERAL
Draws Revolver and Threatens to
Kill Two Men in Midst
of Services.

BY the Associa ted Press.
CHICAGO, February 12.-Crazed by
sorrow, Paul Wilson, giant of the In
diana dunes and husband of Mrs.
Alice Gray Wilson, known as Diana
of the Dunes" drew a pistol in the
midst of funeral services for his wife
yesterday and threatened to kill two
men.
AS a result he was taken to a Gary,
was laid to rest in Gary cemetery.
The men threatened were a relative
of Mrs. Wilson and a newspaper man.
In the midst Of the service the giant
husband of the woman, who, though
a college graduate, forsook the So
ciety Of humans for the solitude Of
the dunes, where she met and mar
ried Wilson, suddenly rose and threw
himself on the casket, weeping. Then
he rose, and, drawing a pistol, an
nounced he intended to kill two men.
Relatives took the weapon away from
him.
The last wish of Diana of the
Dunes"-that her body be cremated
and the ashes cast to the winds from
Mount Tom, the most lofty of the
northern Indiana dunes-was denied
because the cost of cremation was
beyond the purse of her husband. who
also retired to the dunes to earn a

The 10 Senators with no religious
affiliations include Masons, and all
of those whose religious affilia
tions are unstated are Masons.
While much is being said of the
decline of the influence of the
church, says the board of temper
ance, these figures bring out strik-
ingly the fact that the little church,
on Main street, the meeting house in
the wildwood and the big city church
are still furnishing the intelligence
and character which direct the des-
TIMES of the Nation.
America was founded by men who
were, in the main, devoted believers
in the Christian faith, and the Nation
will not go far astray so long as it is
directed according to the principles
of the fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood of man as laid down by
