ours in General Policy Against

Voicing disapproval of the burdening
Of the taxpayer with additional levies,

Washington Chamber of Commerce at
a luncheon meeting yesterday voted

the transportation and other industries
of the District
This action concurred with the gen.
eral policy already laid down by the

sources and the relative burdens which
they should bear.
The Transportation Committee, in
accordance with the action of the
chamber at its last meeting, voted to
refer the taxicab rate problem back to
its subcommittee for further study.
Previously the committee had reported
in favor of the return of the meter for
the cab, but introduction Of additional
evidence has forced a reconsideration.
The subcommittee is composed of Allen
" DeFord, J. Roger Yates, C. Phillips
Hill, Miss Louise Tomlin and H. M.
Startling.
Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, new
chief Of police, was welcomed as an

Continued Existence of
Greater National Capital
Committee Assured.

The continued existence Of the
Greater National Capital COMMITTEES
was assured yesterday by a report rem
dered at campaign committee meet
ing that $55,000 of the $4,000 sought
already has been raised.
At the last regularly scheduled meet
ing of the committee, which has been
conducting a drive for funds for three
weeks, the team captains reported lat
est contributions which brought the to-
tai to within $4,000 of the goal. 1t
was said that there was hope that the
entire SIS, 900 win have been raised
when all leads have been followed out
and doubtful prospects closed.
Robert V. Fleming, president of the
Riggs National Bank, chairman of the
Campaign Committee, presided. Lloyd
B. Wilson, president of the Chesapeake
g. Potomac Telephone Co., is co-chair-
man.
The budget for the past year of the
Greater National Capital Committee
was closed out May l and the funds
raised were necessary if it was to con-
tinue its work.
No formal report Of the accomplish
ments of the Greater National Capital
Committee was made at the meeting,
but Curtis A. Hodges, executive di-
rector, briefly reviewed its work. He
said that the four information booths
operated by the committee have made
4,976 hotel reservations for tourists
during the past six months and that
81 .683 persons have been given infor-
nation
Mr.. Hodges stressed that the ten
dency for conventions is to meet in
cities such as Washington rather than
in resorts. While no definite figures
can be given at this time, he said, the
prospect for numerous conventions mere
during 1888 and 1884 Is promising.

PAP U. S. WITNESSES
EXCUSED BY SCHULDT
Charges Against Eight Men Held
in Gambling Raid Go to
Grand Jury.

Judge Gus A. Schuldt's court room
was virtually emptied today when the
jurist excused 242 Government wit
nesses who were summoned to Police
Court following raids last week on three
alleged gambling establishments. When
the court explained that charges
against eight men arrested in the raid
had been taken over by the grand
Jury, there was a general exodus which
vacated almost all Of the space reserved

Earlier in the day Judge Schuldt had
ordered the court room cleared of those
who had no business there, in order to
make room for the unusually large
number Of witnesses. Police rounded
up the witnesses In alleged gambling
places which they raided in the TOO
block Of street. the 900 block of Ninth
street and the 1400 block Of street.
The court explained that the grand
jury already has indicted eight men
alleged TO have helped ossrate the

FURLOUGH OPPOSITION
REITERATED BY 0DDIE
Senator, From Floor, Declares Step
Would Be Disheartening
to Industry.

Senator Oddie, Republican, of Ne
vada, today reiterated his opposition to
the five e-day-week and furlough-with-
out-pay program for Government en-
ploves, which has been put forward by
the administration as means of avoid
ing salary reductions. In brief state
ment on the Senate floor Senator Oddie
said he thought such step would be
disheartening to industry and that he
still is hopeful the Government will be
able to get by without taking that step.
There were no definite developments
at the Senate end of the Capitol today
in the controversy which has developed
over the proposal to cut 10 per cent
from the Treasury Post ONCE appro-
priation bill, as was done with two pre-
ceding appropriation bills. Senator
Oddie, IN charge of the Treasury-Post
Office measure, has endeavored to con-
vince the Senate that such cut would
have . serious effect on the Treasury
and Post Once Departments. -

Trio Released on $500 Bond

TWO ARE TAKEN IN RAID;
THIRD MAN SURRENDERS
q. S. Agents Declare Evidence
Purchased at Establishment
Made IL Per Cent Drink.

Accused of selling wine bricks from
which Government agents say they
made IL per cent wine, three men today
pleaded not guilty before United States
Commissioner Needham C. Turnage to
a warrant charging them with possess
ing and selling articles designed to vio-
late the prohibition laws.
The three men, two of whom were
arrested in raid on an establishment
in the 800 block of Twelfth street yes
terday, were identified as William w.
Galway, %, 900 block of Eighth street
northeast; George McGrath, rs, of Hy-
attsville, Nd, and I. T. Byrams, jr.
Galway and McGrath were arrested
yesterday and Byrams surrendered to-
day on advice of his attorney, Denny
Hughes. All three were released under
$500 bond each for hearing May "a.
Made IL Per Cent Wine.
Special agents of the Bureau of Pro-
hibition were assigned to the case sew
eral months ago. They purchased diff
ferent kinds of wine bricks at the
Twelfth street establishment and took
them to the top floor of the Treasury
building, where they were converted
into IL per cent wine.
Police seized enough bricks in the
raid to manufacture about $4,000 gal
Ions of wine.
The process used in making wine out
of the bricks followed directions given
on the package, which were written as
a warning to show how fermentation
could be stopped.
Each brick, weighing 18 ounces ana
selling for 90 cents, was found to make
one gallon of wine. Three different
bricks were thus treated, to make Bur
pl1ndy." port" and rhine" Analysis
showed the bricks to be composed prln-
cipally of grape pulp and sugar
Directions Given.
The directions said, in part, dissolve
brick and add one pound sugar to sutt-
Gent warm water to make gallon. To
nrevent fermentation add one-tentn OF
I ner cent benzoate of soda, otherwise
it will ferment and turn to wine WIN
an alcoholic content. Seal with SAFETY
vent Let stand three or four weeks,
then filter through filter paper or piece
of heavy cloth; put in bottles, cork
tightly and store in cool place. Inc
longer you let it stay the better 1t Will
taste.
The wine was made by James L.
Young, chemist of the Bureau OF In
dustrial Alcohol. For an experiment ne
tried using the benzoate OF soda pre-
servative, with the amount recon-
mended on the directions, but found
that it only slowed up fermentation. The
Jug containing the benzoate of soda
still was fermenting today and mcreaS-
ing its alcoholic content.

cents on the dollar of his provable
debts, was most unfortunate feature
The maximum time limit for the dis
charge suspension is two years.

debtor, and was particularly unfavor-
able to the small wage Garner.

section which provides for permanent

a regular salary.

Placed on Market Beginning

Beginning August 1, the Farm Board
will place on the market one-half Of
its 10000 bales of sterilization cotton.

tion Corporation will make every ef-
fort to distribute sales throughout the
season without disturbance to markets
or to price levels
The cotton was bought from the 1929

pound, in an attempt to stabilize fall
ing prices. Cotton now is selling for
cents pound

told the Senate Agriculture Committee

indicating 100000 to 100000 bales
could be sold to foreign governments if
Congress would provide funds for
financing export sales.
