SOUTHBEND MEN
FAIL IN PLEA TO
RECOVER BOOZE
Admissions of Guilt Cause
Judge Anderson to Order
Whisky Destroyed.

Attempts Of Carl thinner, Eugene Dem
bacher and John Nicholine, all of South
Bend, to recover possession of JOB cases
of whisky which were seized from them
almost two years ago when they were
arrested for violation Of the Reed amend
meut prohibiting transportation of liquor
into dry territory, failed utterly in Fed
eraI Court today.
Their claim for the whisky was based
entirely on a plea that the liquor had
been illegally seized However, when
Frederick Van Mugs, United states dis
trict attorney. stated that the three men
had entered pleas Of guilty TO charges Of
transportation and had served jail sen
fences for the offeuse, Judge Albert b.
Anderson quickly brought the proceed
ings to a halt.
What. Give this liquor back to these
convictsE'' he exclaimed. well, I should
say not I am going to enter an order
for the marshal 20 destroy this hduOr-"
II take an exception the attorney for
the petitioners said
Take al the exception you want.
Judge Anderson answered. Then turning
TO Floyd 7. Mattice. assistant district at
torney. he said: See that the marshal
destroys this Immediately"
So it looks very much as II the three
South Benders viii get nothing more IMAM
their exception, and. according to Fed
eraI Court officials, the alcoholic content
OF an exception is exceptionally low
During the hearing Mr.. Mat,ice created
considerable amusement when he said
that originally there had been III eases
OF the whisky, but there had been
shrinkage OF tweuty-eiEht cases between
the time II was seized by South Bend
poliea officials and the time il was taken
over by Federal authorities

H. Meyer said in letter to George w.
Barnard of the public service commits
sion today.
1t is beyond the authority Of either the
local commission or the interstate COM

In the event that no purchaser of the

before the receivers were to sell the road
at auction the local commission hoped to
enjOin the receivers from abandoning the
property or selling it.
Commissioner Barnard is in Chicago

DISCOVERER OF
LUNG PEANUT
SUED FOR 50 900
NeJU York Baseball NGgHGteS
Declare They Need
Money.

NEW YORK. Dec. 27.-The two colonies
RUPERT and Huston-owuers Of the
Yankees. have just fled another suit in
court here to recover 5000 from Harry
Stevens. Polo grounds caterer. inventor
OF the one-lung peanut. the ham-what-
am-not sandwich and the synthetic hot
dawg.
Filing of this suit is not news. be
cause this is only the most recent time
the colonies have come To- the conclusion
that Harry owes them $4,000 and that
they need the dough WITH the loss Of
Babe Ruth. Percy and Meusel. the
Yankee magnates are looking forward 20
some hard times, and these two thousand
iron men look like forty Thousand 20
them. The facts about these 5000 suits
against the peanut artist are as obscure
as 2 woman's age and nobody knows
Vhat they are all about
As near As can be learned. Harry made
an agreement with the two colonies away
back In 1915. before she inqUisition. IN
der which Harry could peddle pop and
peanuts at the Polo grounds. Out Of
his meag gre profits the two colonies were
to receive $4,000. But somebody gummed
I'D tks works The best Harry could do.
90 he claimed, was $4,000 a season. So
he became desperate and invented 4 but
ter which he patented and which had
the quality OF vanishing the minute it
was spread on bread Harry explained
that thus a hungry man never got any
grease on his fingers, and if the roof fell
from the sandwich the buttered side
never fell on the door, like buttered sides
always do. Still facing bankruptcy,
Harry hit upon the idea Of the double
jointed peanut with one end empty. You
had one guess as to which end the nut
was In. This was gambling, and the
police put a crimp in It right away.
Harry sold his ham sandwiches fol
10 cents-with ham, 10.
Meantime, Harry was in a terrible
mess with the colonies, who insisted
upon their pound Of flesh. Harry's life
was a riddle, and he envied his own hot
dogs, who had solved this riddle on the
griddle-
Now. n lot Of you probably attended
the games Of the world series here last
fall, and you viii bear Us out in saying
that Harry did his level best TO econo-
mize One day, when there was an IN
ususuy big crowd at the game, tl0Oked
for s while as if Harry would have "a
cut into q second loaf Of bread for bis
sandwiches But this was the last
game here, and Harry was saved from
ruin
However, managed to break even
Then the Yankee colonies came along
and put In another bid tor the jack that
Harry owned them. And poor Harry
hasn't got II; that is. he hasn't got it to
spare or rather, he hasn't got it 70
spare for the two colonies.
By devious means Harry managed to
scrape together $1,000, and this he paid
to the two colonies. Harry says he will
fight this latest suit to the limit, be-
cause he can't feed his hot dawgs IL he
is forced TO pay these two thousand
bucks that he hasn't got. Harry says
he don't like TO be bounded, even if he
is a hot dog vender.
