NO DISLOYALUY IN
 TALK BY CHARS
Complainant Makes Conflicting State nentS on Witness Stand in Police
 Court This Morning.

The prosecution of the case against Joseph Charis, charged with breach of the peace by saying, America is no good; Germany is all right" petered out in police court this morning. Judge James T. Meskill ordered the discharge of the accused after hearing the testimony. Prosecuting Attorney George ". klett presented the state s ease and Attorney P. F. McDonougfl represented the accused.
 Tony Polaski testified that while in Mikalauskas' saloon on Elm street, M Monday night the accused made the statement alleged. They were talking about the governments in the old country and Polaski said that Lithu- ania had better chance of getting it's own government through the United States than through Germany, be- cause this country stands for freedom. Charis disagreed. On cross-examina- ton, Attorney McDonough got two different versions of an incident from PolaSki. Polaski said he did not work on Monday night because there was a strike on for more wages, and at an- other time he said he did not work because in his work two men are re- quired and the other man did not show up. MT. McDonough established the fact that Polaski had previously had trouble with Charis and that there was ill-feeling between them. Frank Podess, boss at the factory, said that he did not allow Polaski to go to work because he was drunk. Charis testi- fled that he was a purchaser of Lib erty Bonds and Thrift Stamps and a contributor to the Red Cross. He de- nied that he made the statement aI- legged: in fact he said that he wanted this country to win and will go to war if necessary He is registered for, inc draft in ChicoHo
