RAPE VIM YARD
RTIL IZATI

AS a supplement to the fertiliza-
ton work which has been carried on
for the past four years in the vine
yards of B. B. Chase and N. w. Tay-
lor, arrangements have been made
this spring by County Agent Russell
e. Wilson with seven commercial
grape growers to use an additional
amount of muriate of potash on one
acre in each vineyard for the pur-
pose of demonstrating the effect of
this extra fertilization on the yield
of grapes, the compactness of the
clusters and the quality of the fruit.
Cooperation in conducting this
phase of the grape vineyard fertili-
cation program in Kent county is
being extended by the N. V. Potash
Export Company of New York City,
which has entered into an agree
ment with one of the local. fertilizer
companies for supplying this potash
free of charge to these growers, as
was done last year in four vineyards
in the Dover and Wyoming districts.
These fertilization demonstrations
this year will be conducted in the
vineyards of Henry Ridgely, Denny
Pleasanton, B. B. Chase, N. w. Tay-
lor, ]. H. Hipwell, R. F. Brown and
I. R. Jackson. In each of these vine
yards this muriate of potash will be
applied at the rate of one hundred
pounds to the acre in addition to the
regular system of fertilization Which
each grower has planned to follow
this spring.
When the grapes are harvested
this fall a record will be-taken of the
yield from each vineyard, and a
comparison will also be made of the
fruit cluster formation in both the
plot which received the additional
amount of muriate of potash, and in

Is SOUGHT FROM

LIMA, Ohio, Jan. 26 (9-Attorneys
for George Remus, former king of
bootleggers" today prepared an appli-
cation for a writ of habeas corpus
seeking Remus' release from the Lima
state hospital, but they delayed filing
it until more opportunt time.
It was their intention to seek an
immediate hearing for their client, who
recently was freed in Cincinnati OF
the murder of his wife, Imogene, anu
committed to the asylum here on
grounds of criminal insanity.
County Prosecutor E. M. Botkin an
,nounced, however, that he would ask
the hearing be delayed so that he
might familiarize himself with the
case. Remus' attorneys then withheld
the application for the present.
Although Botkin nad nothing to do
with tH1 prosecution of Remus he
must represent the state against him

PRINCE
FINDS TROUBLE
MARRYING Girl.

BOMBAY, British India, Jan. 26 t49
The former maharajah of Tndore is
having trouble in finding some Hindu
religious body to officiate at the con-
version. of his fiancee, Miss Nancy
Ann Miller, of Seattle, Wash.
Reports have been received here,
however, stating that the former ma
harajah's emissaries appear to have
won over a certain noted Hindu
preacher and scholar, who, under pat
ronage at Indore achieved fame
through philosophical works on the say
ingS of the Hindu saints It is stated
that he has agreed to perform Miss
Miller's conversion in accordance with
the Veedic rites, although where the
ceremony will take place, if the report
is correct, has not been disclosed.
More than one recognized progress
sive Hindu religious body is known TO
have refused to convert Miss Miller
because the former maharajah already
has two wives living and because the
view is held that the American girls
conversion is intended only to give the
marriage legal sanction
The senior and junior maharanees
refuse to- see any one or to listen to
any persuasion in favor of the mar
hage.,
Recent arrivals in Bombay from IN
dore say that there is little expectation
there that the marriage will be cele-
brated in that state A majority of
the state officials and relatives of the
former maharajah are reported to be
against the alliance, while the Changar
caste to which he belongs is not pre-
pared to accept Miss Miller as a Hindu.
The British resident at Indore also
is said to be opposed to the wedding.
Meanwhile Miss Miller and the for
nner ruler of Indore are at Nuqara
Eliya, Ceylon, where they refuse to
discuss the marriage.

CHARGES LOBBY
TRIES TO BLOCK
INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26 ga de-
cision will be reached Saturday as to
the action to be taken by the senate
interstate commerce committee on the
Walsh resolution advocating nation
wide congressional investigation of the
public utilities industry
Senator Walsh, democrat, Montana
author of the resolution, today char
acterized the storm of criticism that
it has aroused as "a lobby of such
magnitude as I believe has never be-
fore been seen in Washington" He
offered to withdraw his amendment
to limit the scope of the inquiry but
urged authorization of the inveStiga-
ton on the ground that state super
vision of operating companies is pow
erleSs to control the centra alization of
the industry which he contends threat
ems to wipe out local enterprise
William L. Ransom, of the joint COM
mittee of the National Utility associa-
tiorls at a hearing today before the
committee, argued that no case has
been made justifying any investigation
whatsoever, that Senator Walsls ac-
cusations of over capitalization in the
industry were unjustified, and that
even if the sale and transportation of
bonds between states were subject to
federal investigation, the business of
these companies issuing or buying the
bonds is not
The Walsh resolution has been op-
posed throughout the hearing on the
ground that purely intrastate business
is under municipal and state control
and the legislative power of congress
extends only to interstate business.
Senator Walsh himself has conceded
that the power to investigate is limited
by the power to legislate, said Ran,
som.
Senator Walsh conceding that there
were some advantages in the big in
terstate holding companies, said there
we're many more disadvantages. He
cited the tremendous rises in the stocks
of big gas and electric companies as
evidence Of the need for control.

DEFENSE IN OIL
CONTEMPT CASE
RAPS NC MULLIN

WASHINGTON Jan. 26 Up - A
gruelling attack intended to break
down testimony given by William j.
7NGcAIullin, government. witness, was
directed at him today by defense coun-
sci in the criminal contempt proceed
ings against Harry F. Sinclair Will
liam j. Burns and their four associate,
At the same time the defense sur
prised the prosecution twice, once by
refusing to introduce documentary
evidence and again by surnmoning as
a defense witness Norman j. Glas-
cock, juror in the Fall-Sinclair oil
conspiracy trial already under gov
eminent summons. The court at the
request of the defense, instructed Glas-
cock not to talk about the case to
counsel for either side
The refusal to introduce the docu-
mentary evidence was accepted as in
dicating that the defense would move
for dismissal of the charges which
grew out Of the shadowing of the oil
jury by Burns detectives in the en-
ploy of Sinclair as soon as the gov
ernment case is completed
Men, lin had testified that reports
he made on the movements of Glas-
cock were untrue and prepared at the
direction of Charles c. Ruddy, who
had charge of the detective .surveil-
lance squad The defense expected TO
be able to show from Glascock that
reports McNTullin said were untrue were
in fact correct
Counsel for Burns informed the
court that Mrs jeanette Lantz, a de-
fense witness, prepared to testify re-
garding McNTullin, had been attacked
in her hotel room last night and rob-
bed of a document concerning him.

BROADCASTERS
WOULDCONFIRM
RADIO BOARD

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26 tP)-Direc-
tors of the National Association of
Broadcasters, meeting here today, ap-
proved the continuation of the federal
radio commission and urged immediate
confirmation by the senate of the
nominations of Commissioners Cald-
well. Pickard and LaFount
Although declaring themselves in
favor of the permanent regulation Of
radio communication by the secretary
of commerce, the directors expressed
the opinion that the radio act Of 1927
should be amended so that the COM
mission could continue its duties until
March IS, 1929.
Members of the commission we're
summoned today to appear before the
house committee on merchant marine
which has opened hearings on the bill
of Representative White, republican,
Maine, providing for continuation of
the life of the commission for another
year.
Eugene O. Sykes Of Mississippi, act
ing chairman of the commission, told
the committee today that good radio
reception to the people in all states
was the dominant factor in the activit-
les Of the radio board. Questioned
about the large number Of stations of
great power i'll New York and Chicago,
he said it was his own opinion that
there were too many stations in those
two cities. He declared the commits
sion would be glad to consider applica-
tionS for station licenses from localit-
les not so well represented in the
broadcasting field.
