Many South Benders Elected
to Important Places at
Nincennes.
Special to The Ncws-Times :


NINCENNES Ind. June IS
Thirteenth district delegates at the
American Legion convention being
held here, found themselves in lime
light as the popularity of Col. r
Gignilliat of Culver. for state COM
mander, is steadily growing. Col
Gignilliat was accredited 20 the
thirteenth district in the absence OF
James S. Kennedy. vice-commander.
Col Geo. +. Freyermuth acted as
vice commander and Will vote the
district straight for Gignilliat, the
second will no doubt come from
Col. Blaine OF indianapolis.
The fight Monday night no doubt
lies between Gignilliat and William
Betz OF Nincennes. The Nincennes
delegation Is split and things are
not so peaceful as might be. Le-
giOnaires need no lessons in politics
as Marion County is working as
crafty here as IL does in state poll
teal conventions. However the de-
iegates are on the alert. and there
Will be few slips.
Leo s. Berner was elected as a
member OF the committee on pub
lications: Samuel Feiwell on resOlu-
tions. A. +. Schellinger OF MiSh-
awaka on post activities and a. r
Macdonald secretary OF the district
delegation.

cent federal raid for unlawfully pos
Sessing and selling intoxicating nq-
uor.

tered a motion 10 quash the affidavit

Schwartz countered with the in
formation that the statute of llmita-
tions holds that for an act committed
within the year. the month and day
need not be specified. Judge Frank
Gumer sustained the states objec-
ton and the testimony began.
Jacob p. Smith, federal agent tes-
tilted that he had conducted the raid
at Stromer's place and had found six
or seven 5O-ballon barrels Of wine.
He said also that StrOmer admitted
he had been selling it. for 20 cents
drink.
DR.. Herman Fielder. head chemist
in the medical laboratory at the Ep-
worth hospital, was next on the
stand. He had analyzed the liquid
and found that II contained Is per
cent alcohol.
Taken in the raid had been two
kinds of alleged wine. One sample
came from the big barrels in the Gel
lar. which Stromer admitted was
grape juice which had fermented'
and the other from a smaller keg
which Stromer said vas made by
ham for his own consumption.
