House Passes Senate Tax Regulation Beer Bill By Vote 81 Amended In Such Way AND SENTENCED To Destroy Senate’s Favored Provisions By Assoeinted Press) IN U. S. COURT CUBAN CITIZEN CONFESSED TALLAHASSEE, May 2. TO. VIOLATING IMMIGRA- The house today passed the senate’s beer and wine tax and regulation bill 81 to 8, after amending it in such @ way as to destroy all the senate’s favored provisions, and substituting its own. The house revolting at the senate’s action yesterday in eliminating the house pro- visions from the so-called compromise bill, took its third favorable action on the beverage tax legislation in two weeks and sent it to the senate for concurrence. The two bodies were split ever disposition of the money, estimated by spon- TION LAWS; GIVEN MONTH IN ‘COUNTY JAIL Ricardo Alvarez, Cuban citizen, confessed yesterday in U. S. court to having violated the immigra- tion laws of the United States. He was sentenced by Judge Halsted L. Ritter to spend one month in the county jail and at the expiration of that ‘period to be deported to Cuba. He has been in the county jail since February 4, this year. The record of the peregrima tions of Alvarez is of interest to the U. S. authorities. He is but 19 at this time but very clever. In fact, just a bit too clever. In 1931, he decided to come to Key West. A friend of his in Ha- vana, Orestes Naranja, who was born in Key West, offered to let Alvarez have his birth certificate so that entry to the United States would be easy. Alvarez took the certificate to the agent of the P. and O. 8. S. company in Havana, said he was an American citizen, and pu ed his ticket. He arrived: in. to Naranja in Havana. the $5, $10 and $15 auto- mobile license tag bill, and received a bill by Senator Chowning, of New Smyrna, of the state be required to pay tuition for sending chil- dren to school. MOVE AGAINST TRADE UNIONS HITLER'S BROWNSHIRTS OC- CUPY HEADQUARTERS OF FREE TRADE UNIONS (My Asnoctated Prev) BERLIN, May 2,—Chancellor Hitler's Brownshirts, by surprise and storm took the last hurdle to- day on the road to Nazi domina- tion of the Labor movement by occupying headquarters of free trade unions throughout Ger- many. Socialist leaders of unions which have 5,500,000 members were ar- rested. Trade unions of the future will be national rather than interna- tional in character, Nazi leaders said. BRAZIL NOW TRIES TO REVIVE RUBBER (Wy Ansectated Press) When the steamer Miami, now the Steel Pier, sailed for Atlantic City, N. J., Alvarez decided he wanted to go. He got a job to work his way on the ship and left, Before leaving, however, he thought: a birth .certificate ‘would be a handy thing, iso he went to the bureau, of ' vital »statistics, and after. making the nécessary oath, secured one showing that he was an American citizen. He left on the Miami for At- lantic City and afterwards visit- ed in Philadelphia, New York and other cities before returning to Havana. He remained in this country about 20 months. In February this year he decid- ed to again visit Key West. He did, arriving on the S. S. Florida February 4. He presented that birth certificate bearing the name Orestes Naranja. Not the original certificate but the one he had se- cured by misrepresentation. Later that same day A. S. Caviness, of the U. S. immigration service was given a tip about Ricardo Alvarez, alias Orestes Nar- anja, and after a search located the dodger and placed him in the county jail. e He was given a hearing before. C.

Envoy Into Vortex Of British Social Whirl By OSCAR ‘LEIDING (Ny Assoctated Presser LONDON, May 2.—Robert W. Bingham, America’s new ambassa- dor to the Court of St. James, will be plunged into the center of Great Britain’s social whirl at the very latest outset. When he arrives he will find himself in the midst of the five royal courts which King George and Queen Mary will hold this The first one is on May Test Envoy's Diplomacy . Interest in the courts will center largely on the presence of two! new ambassadors, representing America and France, But. there: is more to the am- bassadorial duty than his own ap- Pearance: at the court. Itiis the personal prerogative of an ambassador or his represen- tative to choose: from. the ‘hun-| dreds of applieants. the society ‘women who will have the privilege of curtsying before the king-em- peror and his wife. This year nearly 200 applica- tions were received at the Atneri- can embassy. Of these, if the past is any guide, less than 40 will be granted for the five courts. More Courts—Less Hurry The 1933 season marks the first time since 1930 and the second since King George’s grave illness in 1928 that five courts are plan- ned. The dates this year are May 11, 12, 17 and 18 and June 23. An additional court may mean one of two things, either that in the great press of applications there will be less likelihood of an- xious debs and young brides being disappointed by rejection or that presentations can be made in more leisurely fashion. For the lueky ones who are se- ted, the great — in whieh | move, before the queen pas- ses all too quickly. Months of preparation—selec- tion of the gown and other de- tails of wear, the lessons in curt- sying and walking and sitting gracefully when a court train is: worn, the parties, and uncounted details—lead to this brief moment.
