FRENCH WINE MEN
SEEK MARKET HERE
How to Get Around Prohibi
tion Discussed.
VARIOUS MEANS OFFERED
One Delegate Suggests Teaching
Americans How lo Drink and
"Leaving Rest to Them."
PARIS, March 14. (By the Asso
ciated Press.) "American day" of
France's national wine week was
marked by some interesting discus
sion over the 18th amendment to the
constitution of the United States and
the application of the law govern
insr prohibition.
The day, which opened rather in
auspiciously, owing to the report of
the presiding officer. Baron d An
thouard. expressing the opinion that
nrohibition in America had come to
stav and that France must look to
other markets, brightened up with
the statement of M. Dastous, pres
dent of the Canadian section of the
British chamber of commerce
Paris, that Canada's market might
open up.
Propaganda I Snsseated.
All of the official reports on the
wine situation in the United States
and wins exports from France to
that country were careful to say that
there must be no lnterierence wun
the internal laws of the United
States. Delegates representing the
wine growers, however, in open dis
cussion after the reports had been
read, were emphatic in their declara
tion that some way must be found to
circumvent, pierce or jump over "the
wall of prohibition surrounding the
United States."
Various means of propaganda were
uggested ranging from moving pic
tures, showing: grape picking scenes
to intensification of the export to
America of grape Juice, which is per
mitted to enter. One speaker gave it
'as his opinion that "the Americans
might produce some very fair wine
irom French grape juice."
These ways and means were con
sidered at some length, but the most
important move, in the consensus of
opinion, would be "to teach Ameri
cans how to drink then they would
find some ' method of importing
French wines."
Education In Drinking Urged.
One venerable gentleman from the
Bordeaux chateau district in tense
tones told how one, American- cap
tain, his guest, had mixed water with
chateau yquem, while the largest
owner of one of the best known bur
gundies, with hands uplifted, related
how some Americans would down in
one gulp the best vintages in his
cellar.
Another resolution discussed was
one declaring that it was the duty
of all the French ' people to teach
visiting South and North Americans
the hygienic and alimentary qualities
of French wine by serving them with
the best vintages when visiting
France, "and calling upon the asso
ciations of war veterans of France
to get into touch with American
Legion friends and Canadian and
American ex-soldiers, who learned to
appreciate French wines in the
plains of Picardy, Champagne and
the Argonne, to tell their countrymen
that wine is a rnich better beverage
than syrups, sodas and near-beer."
The convention adjourned until tomorrow.

DEFEXSE OF AVIFE
REVFXATIOX TO GERMANS.
Charges Involving Princess Not
Generally Known' Till Her Hus
band Issues Denial.
(Copyright by the New York World. Pub
lished by Arrangement.)
BERLIN, March 14. (Special wire
less.) Prince Eitel Friederich's de
nial of the charges against his wife's
morals, printed throughout Germany
yesterday, was the first Intimation
most Germans had that the charges
had been made.
The ex-kaiser's eon, who went yes
terday to Doom to see his father, pre
sumably about the scandal, threatens
to sue the papers printing the story
of his wife's misconduct with Baron
Plettenberg.
"Crude slander," he calls the
charges, and asserts they were print
ed for a political purpose.
The prince declares Baroness Plet
tenberg brought a suit at Duisburg,
which is under allied occupation, so
that allied censors -sould spread the
stories. The princess alleged testi
mony at the closed hearing, however.
actually leaked out through one of
the lawyers present at the neanng.
He told them to the Berlin corre
spondent of the London Daily Express
and thus the story was sent out to
England and America.
Prince Eitels denial has brought
into prominence again a scandal about
the princess of Oldenburg, who is now
Princess Eitel Friederich, dating back
to 1904. In that year Eugene Sierke,
editor of the Braunschweigisohen
Landeszeitung, printed a story saying
Princess Sophia Charlotte, who was
married to Eitel Friederich two years
later, was suffering from the results
of her indiscretions. Baron Pletten
berg was then adjutant to her father.
Sierke was arrested and sentenced
to fbur months' imprisonment. At his
trial he demanded to have Baron
Plettenberg and the princess called as
witnesses, but this was rerused.
A little later Baron Plettenberg wa
sent to Washington as military at
tache and after a time was followed
by the princess father, who spent
only three days in America, mostly
with the baron. That scandal died
down and it was thought Baron Plet
tenberg saw little of the princess
after .that. However, it is now de
cided that although both -married
later, their intimacy never ceased.
One piece of evidence at the Pots
dam hearing is unquestioned. A tele
phone operator in the Schloss Belle
vue in the Tiergarten in Berlin,
whtre Prince Eitel Friederich and his
wife lived before the war, testified
that Baron Plettenberg tried in vain
to induce the princess to receive his
wife fallowing his marriage.
The operator declared the baron on
one occasion telephoned asking the
princess to meet his bride. She re
fused, but ordered him to come to her
t once. He did so, but brought his
wife along,, leaving her in an auto
mobile before the entrance to the
Schloss while he entered alone. -
She remained sitting there, waiting
for her husband, for four hours.
Finally he came out, hurried into the
ar and drove away.
torney Curtis Jr.. said today. In mak
ing the announcement from instruc
tions from Attorney-General Daugh
erty. he said, the schooner would be
prosecuted on the aground she had
violated the custom laws in landin
merchandise illegally. This form of
procedure in such cases is said to be
new.
Two questions were to be determ
ined by the case which the govern
ment regards as a test, Mr. Curtis
said. The first was whether a vessel
of foreign registry, outside the three
mile limit assuming that she had
violated the United States laws, could
be seized and put under the jurisdic
tion of the federal court. The secon
question .was whether the liquor con
stituted merchandise. If not, Mr.
Curtis said the government had no
case.

Willis T. Batcheller, consulting
engineer of Seattle, who prepared for
the state of Washington a report
upon the Grand Coulee or Columbia
basin irrigation and power project in
the eastern part of that state, was a
visitor to Portland yesterday. He re
turned home last night after confer
ences on official business. He is en
thusiastic over the huge projected
undertaking, concerning . which Gen
eral Goethals is now in New York
compiling a final report as chief con
sulting engineer, based upon the
Batcheller survey and other data pre
pared under state auspices some
time ago.
"The project contemplates water
ing about 2,000,000 acres in eastern
Washington by. means of pumping
from the Columbia river to the Grand
Coulee, an old bed of the Columbia,"
said Mr. Batcheller. "From the Grand
Coulee it will be distributed to the
land. Power for pumping will be
generated by hydraulic turbines and
electric generators, placed in a power
house immediately below a dam to
be built across the Columbia at the
mouth of the Grand Coulee.

About the wall in the Moose hall at
Fourth and' Taylor streets sat lots of

the ankle would have attracted plenty

it.
It was a Moose of a stunt, in the
opinion orf the men. What the women
said were better not repeated, but it
was freely prophesied that the next
dance, to be held in the Moose hall
Saturday night would find half a
dozen or more women with diamonds
upon their ankles. As many were
heard to declare that the idea ap

"This combined irrigation and

funds for its execution, and because
the use of water for irrigation and

LIBRARY PLAN APPROVED
Board Slakes Decision on Branch
for University Park.
Plans for a University Park branch
library at Lombard and Hurford
streets were approved by the library
board at its monthly meeting last
night. 'The site for the proposed
branch was purchased by the Uni
versity Park Community club, which'
will erect a suitable building and rent
it to the library association. The
board expressed a desire to open the
proposed building for library purposes
by May 15. '
Circulation for last month was 21,
000 books greater than the record for
February, 1921, according to the
monthly report of Miss Anne Mul
heron, librarian, although the ranks
of library workers were greatly
thinned by illness.
The new board voted to install a
new lighting system in the east side

falls. Although outweighed several
pounds, Butler tore in after his op

sors, and the second fall in 10 min
utes 15 seconds with the same hold
Butler wore his opponent down with
several eevere headlocks. The small
mat, which was not protected by ring
ropes, made it difficult for the men
to show, at their best. Twice Butler
picked up Nelson and heaved him to
the floor and both times Nelson's head
thumped cn the boards with enough
force to daze him.
The Portland grappler, however,
did not take advantage of this. Nel

and crawl back to the center of the
mat. Nelson took the match on
short notice and was not in the best
of condition. He substituted for Ba

RIVERSIDE, N. J., March ,14.-
HunidTeds of persons, including circus
folk andi members of fraternal organ

of John Theodore Brunen, circus pro
prietor, who was shot to death as he
sat reading in his" home Friday night.
Representatives of all the leading cir
cuses and of many of the smaller
wagon shows and carnival companies
were among the throngs that paid
their last respects to "Honest John,"
Brunen was known among the
show people.
After the funeral Prosecutor Kel-
sey and County Detective Parker ex
pressed the belief that an. arrest in
connection, with the case would be
made within 48 hours. Revenge, the
prosecutor declared, undoubtedly was
the motive for the Killing, which, he
added, had been "planned cunningly
by a shrewd, coldly calculating mind."
When fully exposed, Kelly said, the
details would be startling.
