So in light of the ruling we were

addition to its alcoholic content, the
scientists say It is from 5 to 7 per
cent of solid matter or extract;
from 0.5 to 0.7 per cent of nitrogen
ous substances, some of which are
protein; from 1 to 2.5 per cent of
sugar as maltose; from 2 to 4 per
cent of gums and dextrine; from
0.16 to 0.4 per cent of acid as lactic
acid, and from 0.15 to 0.36 per cent
of ash. Fat, as such, may be con
sidered absent. A pint of beer will
provide approximately 250 calories.

JURY RECEIVES
MITCHELL CASE
New York, June 21 (JP) Federal
Judge Henry W. Goddard today
charged the jury which for the last
month has heard the evidence in
the trial of Charles E. Mitchell,
former chairman of the National
City bank, on charges of income
tax evasion.
Judge Goddard briefly reviewed
the charges against Mitchell, that
he made fake sales of stock to his
wife and to W. D. Thornton, mln
ing man, in 1929 and 1930 to record
losses so great that he paid no in
come tax those years and that he
wrongfully failed to report In 1929,
receipt of $666,666.67 from a Nation
al City company management fund.
"A reasonable doubt," Judge God
dard said slowly, explaining the law
to the jury, "does not mean re
luctance to perform an unpleasant
duty.
"Few tax laws are popular," he
continued, adding that congress In
passing the income tax law "un-1
doubtedly had in mind that men
of extensive property should pay
proportionately."
With regard to the stock sales,
the Judge pointed out that a sale
would not be genuine, even if form
al documents were exchanged, If
the intention of the participants
was not to make It so.
Mitchell sat up-right in his chair
at the counsel table, watching the
judge and listening intently.
"You have the right to determine
what the defendant's intent really
was," the jurist told the jury.
"The problem for you to decide is
whether or not that was a bona
fide sale."

"I came home to tell the people of
Washington that President Roose

dam," he said. "I was amazed to
learn that there are those who are
trying to delay and prevent the
building of this dam through insid
uous propaganda. They say we can
not, sell the power. We need sell on
ly 250,000 kilowatts.
"Some say there Is more power
being produced now than we can
sell. Of course there is, and why?
Because of the profiteering prices
charged by the power trust subsid
iaries that are paying dividends on
watered stocks. Bring down the pric
es of power to what Tacoma pays
with municipal ownership and we
will increase power uses in Wash
ington by 100 percent."
Senator Dill said Governor Mar

as the entire congressional delega

SHARP PROTEST
Washington, June 21 (fP) A sharp
pretest against abandonment of the

Senator Stelwer, republican of Ore

abandonment of the market news
service was "sending agriculture

Stelwer predicted there would be
"a good wholesome row" over dis
continuance of the service and also
Wallace's plan to cut down appro
priations for agricultural extension
work despite approval by the senate
of a resolution to suspend that part
of President Roosevelt's reorganiza
tion program.
"It looks like a rather general re
trenchment in essential agricultural
activities." Stelwer told newspaper
men in discussing his letter to Wal
lace. He said he had told Wallace if
the country could provide $500,000,

three billion for public works it
