that he was being pursued, pre-

Fight ON Balcony
VoIz had a pitcher of ice water
by his chair. Rushing to the edge
of the balcony, he prepared to douse
Pruden with it, hoping that the
momentary hesitation caused by the
icy bath would give others time to
pull him back.
His efforts were made unne3secary

RIGHT
IN MERGER
DENIED

The rights of minority stockhold-
ers involved in the pending traction
merger. are non-existant under the
local Public Utilities law, Ralph D.
F'leharty, peoples counsel told the
House District Committee today.
Fleharty denied that he was
obliged by law to look after their
interests. He expressed the opinion
that their interests would not be
violated by the unification agree
ment. however.
Grilled by Representative Gibson,
Fleharty said, he had given no
specific attention to the fate of the
minority stockholders of the Wash
ington Railway and Electric Com
pany, when that corporation be-
comes a part of the proposed Capt.
tai Transit Company.
When the case of John J. Moo
nan, who owned 1900 shares of
common stock of the Wreco, was
called to his attention, the peoples
counsel said, he was not called upon
by law to examine the merit of the
contentious set forth, by Mr.. Moo
nan.

holders asked Representative Glib
son.
IT think we have provided for
Them" replied Fleharty, however,
| do not feel called upon to do so
under the law"
The House District Committee
probably will go further into this
subject on Monday. Representative
Frank Reid also is interested in the
subjects of what is going to happen
to the minority stockholders.
Most of the hearing today was
devoted to a reorganization of merger
financing. Col. Harrison Brand,
member of the Public Utilities Com
mission made an extended statement
in refutation of w. NICK. Clayton's
charge that the public utilities law
would be violated in the proposed
$5l $500 capitalization of the
merger.
Calculation Doubted
He showed that the total of the
outstanding stocks, bonds and other
indebtedness of the two traction
companies is $51 ,756, 900, or lower
by $4,000 than the proposed cap
italiZation of the new company.
Clayton had told the committee
that there was a $7,O00000 differ
entail between the two. thereby
making a clear violation of the law
which provides that the capitaliza-
ton of a traction merger shall not
exceed the total capitalization OF
the merged cOmpa nies.
1t was explained that he had used
Harley r. Wilson's statement to the
Public Utilities Commission in MAX
ing his calculations however.

Germany Hears U. s. Produces Most inc

BERLIN, Oct. 13. = Germany has been amazed by the news that prohibitionist America grows ten times as many grapes as Ger many and that Kalamazoo wine of 1920 has excellent quality.
 Counselor Dr. J. Diel of Berlin, writing from Washington to the Deutsche Tageszeitung, tells Ger man readers that the United States is producing possibly 55,- O00,000 gallons of wine annual ly, or 10,000.O00 gallons more than in pre-prohibition times.
 Dr. Diel says that America jus tifles more than ever the name of Vinland, given to the Eastern Coast by Jeff Ericsson and his band of Ieelandic explorers, as in spite of the Volstead Act, it has more than doubled it's acre age devoted to the culture of the vine since 1920.
 Delving into history, Dr. Diel recalls that it was Nicholas Long, worth, grandfather Of Congress- man Nicholas Longworth. who headed the noble band of Ger man winners from the Mosel re- zion and became known as the Father of American Grape Cul- ture."
