Proprietor Says Residents
"lmagine" That Beer Making

Practically every resident Of
Cheverly last night entered pro-
test against rezoning As acres of
land at Tuxedo, Md, on the Penn
sylvania Railroad rightof-way,
for industrial sites.
The protests we're registered at
. hearing held in the Cheverly
School house by the Prince
Georges county members of the
Maryland National Capital and
Planning Commission. One of the
reasons for the rezoning applica-
ton is to permit construction
there Of a brewery.
Has Other Sites
AS protest followed protest.
Michael Klachko, identified to
members of the Commission as
promoter of the proposed brew
cry, left the school. He told re-
porters he had two other sites
available, one in Prince Georges
county and the other inside the
District.
Asked if he intended to take
any court action if the Commits
sion acted unfavorably on the
Tuxedo site, he said:
1.-TWO or three bankers are
behind me. I don't know what
they will want to do"
The land is owned by w. Pink
ney Magruder, of Hyattsville. and
has been owned by his family for
more than a century, he said. He
argued that the residents of
Cheverly were imagining" that
the brewery would be nuisance.
He pointed out that under it's
present residential zoning the
land could be developed with any
kind of dwelling and that the
residents could do nothing
about it.

Captain Cissel added:

ingredients. The chemists said
they would not attempt to

BEER AND WINE BILL IS GIVEN
 APPROVAL NOW
Senate Judiciary Commit tee Advances Measure
 Another Step

Y WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.- The Collier Blaine bill to leg alize beer and wine won the approval of the Senate Judi ciary Committee late today after an attempt to limit al- cOh0lic content to 2 per cent was rejected.
 The Borah amendment to prohibit sale of beverages to children was adopted.
 DilPS amendment to pro- . hibit advertising of beverages in dry States was also adopted.
 With strong Democratic support of the bill, leaders predicted it would reach vote in the Senate this session. It has already passed the House in diff~rent form pro- viding for beer only.
 President Hoover, it is feared, will veto the bill but he has not expressed his views publicly.
 Instead of attempting to define what constitutes intoxicating bev- erages, the Senate bill merely con- fines penalties of the Volstead law to wine and beer of more than 3.05 per cent by weight. This limitation is based on the official British Commissions report that beer of such content is nonintoxi- eating.

Famous Irish Novelist, Whose
 Writings Brought Criticisms,
 Dies in London at Age of 8l

LONDON, Jan. 23. = George Moore, famous Irish novelist, is dead at his home here. He had been seriously i'll only a few days although his health had been fail- ing lately due to his age, which was 81 years.
 George Moore was interrupted by illness while writing the last chap ters of what he regarded as his greatest book.
 When he was 75 he decided to round out his career as a novel, ist by giving the world the best he ever produced, "Aphodite in Autis, the story of a young Athenian in the time of Pericles.
 Serious illness overlook him as he neared the end of the work His doctors advised an immediate operation, which might prolong his life. Moore pleaded for two months grace to complete his novel, de- claring T don't care what happens after the book is finished"
 Dictated Last Chapter
 Eventually, it became necessary to remove him to a nursing home and, unable to write further, he dictated to a secretary the last chapter.
 Moore had been called by some the last of the great Victorians; by others the first of the great Georgians. To all he was con- noiesseur at writing and publish ing books.
 In the beginning of His career his books were sold by the tens of thousands at the ordinary pop ular prices, but in the last decade he had published his works in pri- vate editions, beautifully bound and with exquisite type arrange ment They sold at $lO volume
 One of the most discussed writ CTS of the last generation, Moore was credited with introducing the modern English novel with its frankness and realism of detail For that he was made the target of bitter abuse and suffered the at- tacks for 30 years. That was one Iof the reasons that impelled hin to issue his novels privately anc at such high prices.
