voted yesterday by the Federal grand
Jury which has been investigating a
81 900 900 sacramental wine scandal
Others reported named were Ralph
w. Stone. former prohibition director:
George r. Bruce. former State Sen
ator; Louis Abelson and Harry
Schlau, alleged go-betweens, and one
other whose identity was not dis
closed.
Probe on for Year.
The jurys action followed an in
vestigation started almost year ago
when the attention of Washington
officials was called to the fact that
Chicago's Withdrawals of wine for
sacramental use exceeded those of any
other community in the country and
were far in excess of the sacramental
wine consumption before prohibition.
The investigation originally brought
about the arrest of 100 dealers in and
distributors of sacramental wines, in
cluding a number of rabbis. More
than 20 of this number were tried and
convicted.
With the announcement that true
bills had been submitted to the jury,
It became known that Patrick T..
Roche, special agent of the intelli-
gence unit, had gone to Washington
to review the wine scandal before

LONDON, July 24.-Today's Morning
Post launched sensational story that
part, of the will of Marquis CurZon
was suppressed in the interests OF
the regulations of some of his politi'
cal colleagues, upon whom the famous
statesman Is said to have commented
with great freedom.
Meanwhile the public still was ex.
pressing gratitude for the bequests of
Marquis Curzon to the nation and the
newspapers were printing details OF
the will with pictures of the two IA
nous castles saved for posterity
through his action in bequeathing
them to the country.
The portion alleged by the Post to
have been suppressed. is said to have
been a literary testament" mentioned
in supplementary will, distinct from
the one in which Lord Curzon dis.
trfbuted his gifts and its animadver.
sions are stated by the paper to re-
fer particularly to former Prime
Minister. whose name is withheld
Suppression of the testament will, it
is declared avert "a rude shock to
public faith in man who rendered
conspicuous service to the State"
Lord Curzon, who died in March OF
this year, is represented as not in
tending that the literary testament
should be published, although the
document seems to have come near
being published through the phrase
ology the testator used in referring to
1t in supplementary bill.
The Fost tells how Lord Curzon
wrote the supplementary will on

the end might be very near. He

he was unable to come at such short
notice. Accordingly Lord Curzon
asked the butler and nurse to witness
the signature of the original will
which had been amended and re-
amended during the two previous
years. Then, with a pencil he wrote
on sheets of note paper a supplement
tary will, in which he referred to the
literary testament, declaring 1t was
''for guidance, not publication"
"One Is left to infer" says the Post,
that 1t was haste and the absence OF
a trained lawyer that nearly resulted
in giving the world the startling reve-
lations."
The paper says it is unable to haz-
ard a guess as to the premier referred
to by Lord Curzon, but it is recalled
that the marquis served as minister
under Premiers Asquith, Lloyd George
Bonar Law and Baldwin, and that un-
der the late Marquis of Salisbury he
held the posts of foreign minister and
undersecretary for India.
The two castles bequeathed to the
country, with the stipulation that they
be kept open for the benefit of the
public, are Pottershall Castle in Lin
colnshire and Bodian Castle in Sussex.
