Its Use of Wines

LONDON, April 15.-Britain's

ance suffered q check last year
with a sudden increase in the con-
sumption Of wines, according to
annual statistics prepared by G.
B. Wilson, political secretary Of
the United Kingdom Alliance.
The expenditure on beer and
spirits in 1929 did not increase,
Wilson asserts, but on wines it
gained by Z per cent over the pre-
ceding year. He estimates the
bigger wine consumption caused
an increase Of $4,000, 900 in the
nstion's total drink bill, bringing
it to 81, ,44O, 1000 Similarly,
brewers profits for 1929 were
$2,5OO,OOO higher than in 1928,
amounting to $122, 500, 900.

sued her husband, Grady Parks
Gentle, Washington Terminal
Company employe, for limited
divorce on grounds Of extreme
cruelty, has appealed from a
court order awarding her but
$50 a month for the support Of
herself and two children.
Mrs. Gentle, who is represented
by Attorneys Charles H. Morgan
ston and Ethelbert B. Frey, COM
planned that her husband had
kicked her within a week after
she had left the hospital follow
ing a serious operation and that
the kick had inflamed the recent
inciSion. She charged that he
had failed to provide for their
children. .t-....
Gentle is said to earn nearly
5000 q month. and attorneys for
the young wife claim the court
abused his discretion in awarding
her but $50 a month, when the
husband could easily afford 10
pay more. This is one Of the
few instances where a wife has

-Four Get Their Pay
In JudOeLesc-EOurt

NEW YORK, April 15.-Failure
of the Legislature to pass the
Hannigan bill, providing for the
election Of a City Court justice in
Richmond, has created in that
borough a judicial problem which
apparently cannot be solved for
at least a year, it became evident
yesterday. There are 600 cases
awaiting trial in the court, which
has had only one session since the
last municipal election.
Four court attaches, drawing an
aggregate salary Of $14,5O0 a year,
go daily to the courtroom at st.
George, Staten Island, and do
little or nothing. Litigants also
go there in hope for trial of their
suits. James lyman, the chief
clerk, is obliged to explain that it
can't be done. There is no justice
to preside.

BILLS To PASS
ATTENDED CHU.

A temporary truce in pre-elec.
ton political warfare was de-
clared in the Senate today while
Republicans and Democrats united
to pass the Wagner unemploy-
Inent bills.
One Of the measures would set
up an emergency fund of $154,,
100000 for the erection of public
works during cycles of national
unemployment. The other would
provide for the assembling of
accurate statistics on unemploy-
ment and trends of employment
throughout the country. Both
bills were sponsored by Senator
Wagner CD of New York, but
have the support Of Administra-
tion leaders. They were taken
up out of order under a unani-
NOUS consent agreement.

The truce came as a welcome
relief to Republican chieftains,
who are deeply concerned over
the fate Of Judge John j. Parker,
named by President Hoover to
be an associate justice of the
Supreme Court. The growing op-
position to Parker has endan-

Administration leaders to post
pone all action on the nomina-
tion for another week. The nomi-

Judiciary Committee, which will
not act on 1t before next Monday.
Opposition to Parker was based
on his decision in the Red

wire the truck crashed into the
rear of the other truck, which was
then standing still along the road
at 42d and Market streets. Col

lily of Collins did not wish to pros
ecute Glanden, who bears an ex-
cellent reputation in Dover.
