On Monday the Gsrrys
will have as their guest Rep

Of New Jersey, who is speak
ing that evening in Provi-
dence at q Gerry political
! rally.
The Gerry campaign is
having an amusing effect
upon social barriers in the
home State of the popular
former solon. Members of
even the exclusive Newport
colony are rallying to his de-
Tense in a manner quite un-
precedented. No less a
parsonage than Mrs. John
Nicholas Brown, hailed as
one Of Newport's most
aristscratic matrons, has en-
listed in the ranks.
Born Social Registerite
Born in the colony's inmost
circle, Pete" Gerry has a
natural claim upon their in.
terest. Mrs. Brown is his sister,
1n-law and it is a well-known
fact that the family Of the
present Mrs. Gerry (before her
second marriage Mrs. George
w. Vanderbilt) adore "Pete." ="
They may or may not approve
Of his political ambitions, but
since he has set his heart upon
returning to Washington, they
are for him a hundred per
cent.
Mrs. Brown has q well estab-
Nshed reputation for exclusive
ness. Hailed as one Of the
most "offish" hostesses If tho
Newport ensemble her hospi-
tality has been restricted en-.
tirely to her own circle. Social
climbers have been wont TO
find their Waterloo at Harbor
Court.
Cholly's Story
But now. to quote our eminent
colleague Cholly Knickerbocker
Of the New York American. all
Is changed. Mrs. Brown has
let down the bars and as pres
ident of the Newport County
Women's Democratic Club is
campaigning In her hrother-in-
laws behalf.
Says ChoIly:
Mrs. Brown hob-nobS with
all and sundry at Newport and
semi-monthly she drives out Of
"Harbor Court" with chauf-
eur in livery, footman. etc, and
attends meetings in the modest
homes Of the Newport voters.
Frequently this great lady
remains for tea and even has
been known to tarry on for
supper, while the chauffeur
and footman, with. noses lifted,
wait irnpatiently outside for
madame.
IF Peter Goelet Gerry fails to
secure the senatorial berth it

HUGE STORE OF
Wines PUZZLE
TO GOVERNMENT
$4,000 Gallons of Choice
Vintages ConfiScated in
California Raid.

BIZ United Press
SACRAMENTO, Cal, June 49,
Locked and carefully guarded in a
huge winery not far from Sacra-
mento are choicest wines for which
California is famed.
Port, sherry, claret, muscatel-
every kind of vintage made in the
state is found there, total Of. 49,,
900 gallons.
Silva Bros, owners of the place,
were arrested six months ago and
charged with violating the Volstead
act by selling small quantities of
the wines to thirsty customers. A
bonded winery, the establishment
was seized by the government and
placed under lock and seal.
Now, for the first time in history
Of prohibition, the government must
make declaration of policy on the
question of selling liquor which has
been seized.
Question Is Battling
With in the next two weeks the
case of the United States VS.. Silva
Brothers Winery will come up in
federal court here. The question is:
Shall more than 100000 Of the
finest wines in California be poured
down a sewer, or can the govern
ment sell these $4,000 gallons for
legitimate commercial use?
First, of course, must come con-
viction of the owners for violating
the national prohibition act. There
is no legal problem involved here,
and should the SilvaS be convicted,
the government will focus attention
on the winery and it's contents.
Seeks Destruction
Albert E. Sheets, deputy United
States district attorney, in charge OF

Fruit industries assert that there

The government has destroyed

STRESSES DUTY
OF CLUBWOMAN
TO COMMUNITY
New Head of Federation
Cites Responsibility to
Members.
EY RICHARD G. BALDWIN
United Press stan Correspondent

DENVER, June 13.-The response
bility of club women to the COM
munity and nation was stressed here
today by Mrs. John F. Sippel of
Baltimore in her presidential adj
dress to delegates attending the
biennial convention of the General
Federation Of Women's Clubs.
I'VE can not be reminded too
often that our power to give to the
nation is measured largely by the
contributions of the local club to
the community life" Mrs. Sippel
said.
L would press this sense of re-
sponsibility further back, through
the club TO the individual member
and lay the emphasis Of response.
bility for community welfare on the
individual working through the
club.
Influence of Destiny
ut is the average men and wom-
en- who are the tides and trade cur
rent which influence the destiny Of
nations"
Mrs. Sippel urged the delegates
to draw inspiration from the prom
inent women of today and of the
past for the part they must play in
their community life.
The federation president reviewed
briefly some of the activities of the
various state rganizations-actiy
tiles that ranged from the purchase
of light plant for a town by club
women to caring for crippled chill
dren.
Cites Responsibility
"As we frankly face our respon-
sibilities, we must measure them,
now as ever, by our power" Mrs.
SippeI said. Il ask you, then, to
consider the magnitude of the
woman power Of our time. 1t far
transcends our realization"
Mrs. Sippel explained how the
demands of women in the matter Of
dress possibly could bring great
change to industry.
1T is vital that we realize that
the influence which We exert ST.
lently - Internationally - may be
transformed into service of ineSti-
mable value to the community, adj
vancing women to positions of lead
erShip, making possible in countless
ways better communities and a
larger measure of the good things of
life for a large number of citizens
of all communities, she said.
She said she believed the club
women should direct their power to-
ward the improvement of motion
pictures and radio programs and the
solution of prison administration

New Britain herald., 1930-12-05

the opinion that he was native of Genoa. Professor Ballestoros Y. Der etta, most distinguished of Spanish his torians, has denied that the explorer was Catalonian.
 In fact, more than year ago, the Spanish Academy of History an- nounced after extensive investigation that it had nothing to show to contra dict his Genoese origin. Recently Madrid newspaper offered prize of 25,000 pesetas (about S2,500) for the best work proving that Columbus was Spanish. The contest was abandoned when no suitable papers were received absolutely proving the point.
 On the other hand, those of the old school, who believe that the explorer was native of Genoa, point to his writings in which they say he often re- ferred to himself as Genoese. Of course, if there are some forgeries in the record, these writings may be for series, too. But historians point out that the finding of many people bear ing the name of "Colom" in Galicia and Catalonia has misled those who are now seeking to dispute the old view.
 One factor which tends to discredit the views of Dr. Ulloa is that while many have sought to prove that Colum- bus was not Genoese, few have agreed on the important matter of just what he was. Not long ago some inves- tigators pointed out that a document found in Ponte Vedra showed that he was a Galician Jew. Others have been equally sure that he hailed from Huelva and still others have pointed out seriously that he came from Cadiz.
 To prove the most recent contention, Dr. Ulloa intends to show that the ad- venturer's will, dated in 1497, was a falsication. He intends to show that the famous letter of Envoy Puebla, alleged to prove the explorers Genoese origin, never existed. He has submitted to the Americanists' Congress the orig nal texts, on which his claims are based, together with a bundle of code letters written by the Spanish envoy to England in 149s-,purportins to alter the story of the discovery of America.
 But pirate, or no pirate, Genoese or not, Christopher Columbus is still the iool of Genoa. That ancient Italian Slls, Ai SASltcu dOOQI plepdEdLlOnS TOT a fitting celebration for October l2, of this year, allowed itself to be moved very little by Professor Ulloa's con tentions.
 There was indignation, but it was so mingled with miIth that its effect was nil.
 "He was of us" they say. Tt is 2 joke to think otherwise
 But whether Columbus crossed the Atlantic with money-lust in his heart, or crossed it to fulfill dream of dis. covery, the important thing to most people is that he crossed tat a tim. when the rest of the world believed that the earth was flat and that voyager on the high seas incurred the risk of sailing over its brink into unknown ter TOTS. If he was 2 pirate, it seems that he had plenty of company in his chosen ]. vocation, and at least he combined sufficient ability and fortitude with freebooting to become immortal.
New Britain herald., 1930-12-05

Spain to San Domingo. But if they freebooters, most people are willing to give them credit for the new worlds discovery. And if Columbus came with any band of men from the north, his admirers would not be likely to feel hurt by the revelation that he was a pirate.
 Dr. Ulloa minimizes the glory of the seafaring Danes, too He says that they were pirates, also, And it was with a party of them, he said, that Columbus journeyed to America when he was only twenty-eight years old.
 This same Columbus" says pr. Ulloa, "who later explained Spanish ships to the West Indies for time, was comrade of Danish corsairs, with whom, without the aid of Spanish royalty, he made the previous discovery of the American continent.
 He was a Catalonian corsair, who rebelled against King Juan II of Ara gonia. He was also a relative of cor sair named Casanova 1Couillon, who was in the service of Louis of France.
 Many assertions hitherto made about Columbus rest upon documents either freely invented by historical writers or forged or changed. The text of Columbus negotiations with the Spanish King in l492 also show unmistakable signs of 'doctoring'"
 The most famous historians of Spain, who would be pleased to spread the knowledge that Columbus was of Spanish origin, if they felt it was true, merely smile at Dr. Ulloa's statements. They have spent years tracing down

revolves about the career of Colum- bus? Either it will have to be re- written or the new claims must be rejected It is likely that much time will be required for other historians to weigh the findings of Ulloa, and much more time may have to pass before an authoritative verdict can be rendered.
 Of course, the claim that the new
New Britain herald., 1930-12-05

not only visited the present site of Boston more than century before Columbus was born, but also navigated their way up the historic Charles River, Is attested by stone monument which stands inland at Norumbega. 4 tablet at the foot of the tower recites as a fact a visit of the Norsemen in the twelfth century.
 But even if the Norsemen did reach the shores of America before the time of Columbus-even if they did sail up the placid Charles to Norumbega, they accomplished feat of navigation hardly comparable to a sailing from
