FRANCE FORMALLY PROTESTS TARIFF Objections to. Increased Du- ties Are Filed at State 3 Deparlr_nent. By the Associated Press. A formal note from France protest: | ing against the proposal to increase ' tariffs on certain French products im- ported into’ the United States has been delivered to the State Department by Ambassador Claudel. | The note reiterates arguments of the French government that France is not benefiting from the provisional favored nations agreement made between the two governments after the United States protested against the Franco-German trade agreement of 1927. The French also contend that many of the proposed rates will impose tariffs on French goods which do not compete with American products. Items cited in the note under this category are of a more or less minor nature and include several luxury foodstuffs. Note Causes Surprise, While it had been reported that the French were considering sending such a protest, the delivery of the note caused some surprise in official and diplomatic . circles, since the French- American_tariff .discussions had_been considered of a somewhat different character than those of other nations and had been the subject of lengthy negotiations in Paris. A serfes of notes and other communications had been exchanged_through the American em- bassy in_Paris and the present com- munication is the first on the immed! ate tariff situation, which has been dellvered by the French embassy here. Spain Files Objections. Formal protests against the tariff also have been filed by Spain, Italy and Persia and retaliatory action has been urged in these countries as well as France. More than a dozen nations have forwarded material through the State Department for the consideration of the House ways and means and Sen- ate finance committees. A deputation of merchants represent- ing extensive exporting interests in Per- | sia, called at the Perslan legation this week and urged intercession with the American Government - against propo- sals to increase tariffs on certain Per- sian products imported into the United States. They told Persian Minister Meftah that the 120 chambers of com- merce in Persia voted last week to press for reprisal legislation if the proposed rates are adopted. The proposal which they will support will be for the impo- sition of 100 per.cent on certain types of automobiles. This duty, it was said, would principally affect American au- tomobiles and particularly products of the General Motors and the Ford Mo- tor Cos. Persian Attitude Outlined. Prince Firouz, financial secretary of the Persian legation, told the Asso- ciated Press yesterday that while the attitude of the Persian business inter- ests did not necessarily constitute that of the government, it ‘would have to take full cognizance of the movement. Threats of retaliatory action against American goods since the tariff report was made public have been of a world- wide nature. Chambers of commerce in Italy, France and Spain have urged adoption of measures by their govern- ments against Amerfcan products. Full reports on- @il such movement, as well as those from several countries proposing @ world economic combine against the United States, are being forwarded to the State Department by American mis- | sions abroad. DEFENDANTS ADMIT DRY LAW VIOLATIONS John Purdy Withdraws Not Guilty Plea and Confesses Illegal Pos- session of Liquor. Withdrawing a previously entered plea of not guilty and demand for a jury trial, John Purdy, arrested in the 200 | block of Ninth street in August, 1927, pleaded gullty in Police Court yesterday on a charge of illegal possession of liquor. Purdy - and Joseph Oliveri were Jointly charged following a raid on the establishment by Sergt. O. J. Letter- man, James E. Kane and Basii N. Quinn nearly two years ago. A police informer secured a warrant for the premises on the basis of a sale which he claimed had been made. Marked money was given in the transaction. Assistaht United States Attorney R. F. Camalier ‘declared that charges of sale were also lodged, but carelessness of the informer, who lost the marked money and a sample of the seizure, led Assistant United States Attorney David A. Hart to nolle prosse all charges ex- cept the one of possession, which was maintained against Purdy. Oliveri was exonerates The Ninth street estal lishment was later padlocked. Purdy will be sentenced Saturday, Camalier said. A plea of not guilty and demand for & jury trial also was withdrawn by Jake Tebeleff, 3200 block of M street, | I | | | These Washington students of -Mary- land _University have received prize awards at Maryland University: Above | —Fred B.

By the Assoclated Pre BUDAPEST, Hungary, June 12— Count Julius Andrassy, who as foreign minister of Austria-Hungary, in 1918 requested of President Wilson an im- | mediate armistice on all fronts, died | yesterday at the age of 67 year: | During his long and stormy political career, he was known first as an ar- dent defender of the integrity of Hun- gary in the dual kingdom and them a ioyal supporter of former Kin; g | lution. | He was operated on for a_serious kidney disorder a week ago at Tisadob. | Pneumonia set in and because of his | advanced age his strength was not sufficient to combat it. Before the World War, the count had held several cabinet posts and had been premier of Hungary. A few days after he was made foreign minister in Octo- ber, 1918, he forwarded his famous armistic note to Secretary of Statc Lansing. As with the earlier German intimation of terms on which peace could then be arranged, the proposal was referred to the allies. Count Andrassy resigned his post a few days later. An attempt to assassinate him was made in the Hungarian Assembly in September, 1921. He loyaily supported | King Charles during the latter's exile, | was arrested with him on charges of | attempting to. restore the monarchy and | spent some time in prison. — Because of hard times in Madeira Island auto owners are giving up their cars and patronizing bus line: good business man BORROWS USINESS today is 1.

CHICAGO, June 12—Three raids, which the State's attorney office de-| racing racket,” were executed simul- taneously last night at tracks reputedly operated by the Al Capone, George (Bugs) Moran and Chicago Heights “syndicates.” More than 100 persons were arrested, and among articles confiscated were three machine guns.
