 Heed Farmers' Request
 The appeal of the farmer members of the legislature for the recon vening of the law makers early in July for the adjourned session prob ably will be needed. Governor Bran don suggested that the adjourned ses- sion begin in April but the farmers contend that they will not be able to leave their farms at that time as 1t will be in the midst of the crop season. They desire to complete the cultivation of their crops before re- turning to the capital and when they do return they desire to complete the session before the gathering season arrives.
 In 1915 and 1919 the law makers started their adjourned session in July and completed them in Septem- Der, which did not force the farmer members away from their homes dur ing the busy season.

BREAKS A RECORD
San Anteaian HcnOred for Writing
Most Insurance for His Company.

For leading the entire field in the
United States by writing more than
S1,OOO,OOO insurance during the year,
1922, Bernhard A. Wiedermann, a San
Antonio insurance man, broke the
southern record Of his company and
achieves the distinction of being the
largest personal producer for the Union
Central Life Insurance company for the
year just closed.
Mr.. Wiedermann has lived in San An
tonic for thirteen years and has been
with the Joseph ?. Devine General
agency for nine years, being one of the
star producers for this organization. His
record in producing in excess of 1,OOO,-
OOO insurance during the year is the
second time this distinction has come
TO any man in the south, the honor
usually going to the New York office.
Among the first twelve largest personal
producers in the United States for the
Union Central Life four were from the
San Antonio agency, B. c. Sasse of
Corpus Christi ranking second. having
written in excess of 100000 during
1922; Russell r. Jennett of San Anto.
Mo ranking sixth having written more
than 100000; Thomas +. Hethring-
ton of San Antonio ranking eleventh
having written in excess of $500, 900 of
business.

FAIL To PROVE
GUILT IN JAIL.
NARCOT|CCASE
Government Could Not Show
Defendant knowingly
Transported Dope.
CARRIED In PASTRY
Claims He Delivered Pie
Without Knowing What
Ii Contained.

Carlos Pena, indicted by the federal
grand jury and tried Saturday after
noon on the charge of smuggling dope
TO prisoner in the Bexar county Jail,
was found not guilty BY jury late
Saturday afternoon. From the first
Pena maintained that he was the in
nocent victim of circumstances. His
case was the hardest fought that has
come up for trial before the Deem
Der term of the federal court for the
San Antonio division.
Pena was arrested several weeks ago
by Detectives Joe Ruhnke and Will
Carver after the county jailor had dis;
covered eight grains of morphine, six
grains of cocaine and a needle wrapped
in tinfoil and waxed paper concealed
in three pieces of mince pie brought to
the county Jail by Pena. The pie was
destined for Thomas Almanac, pris-
oner then at the county Jail.
Admitted Delivering Pie.
Pena admitted that he brought the
three pieces of pie 10 the Jail for de-
livery TO Almanac. He said that Mar
eos Cisneros had given him a dollar
bill to purchase the pie and that after
he had made the purchase he brought
the pie back to Cisneros. He steadfast-
ly maintained that he did not know that
the pastry contained narcotics.
When CisneroS. who is also under in
dictment for violation of the narcotic
laws, was called to the stand, he testi-
fled that he did not know Pena and
denied that he had any connection with
the three pieces of mince pie.
Testimony was introduced by the
counsel for the defense TO show that
Cisneros and Thomas Almanac had
been closely associated and that the two
were partners for two years when they
ran a cold drink stand together. The
only testimony that the government Of
fered TO show that there was any re-
lationship between Pena and Almanac
was that offered by Detective Carver,
who asserted that on one occasion he
had seen Almanac and Pena together.
Dope Is Struggled Into Jail.
The Pena case has attracted atten-
ton due to the fact that it has been
reported that addicts in the county Jail
were receiving dope. Every precaution
is taken TO prevent prisoners from get
ting DOPE and the vigilance OF the Off
GERS is proven by the fact that when
an addict has been imprisoned for any
length of time. he gains in weight and
in health. However, it is reported
that small amount has been Struggled
into the jail. This has been possible
because of the fact that the drug can
be carried in small packages and ad-
diets and dealers are adept in con-
cealing it.
When the pie containing the dope
was handed to the turnkey by Pena
with instructions that it be given 10
Almanac for supper, the turnkey gave
the pic to County Tailor Waitrek. The
latter discovered the dope concealed be-
tween the top and bottom layers. A
narcotic agent was notified and filed
complaint before United States Com
missioner R. L. Edwards on data fur
nished him by the county officers, Pena
was later arrested by Detectives
Ruhnke and Carver.
