UNFERMENTED
GRAPE JUICE
SALES LEGAL
Jury Acquits Four Men
Charged With Conspiracy to
Violate Volstead Law

indianapolis, Dec. 2.-R)-Sale
Of grape juice in it's unfermented
state, even though it may turn to
wine with an unlawful content Of
alcohol after it is in the hands Of
. purchaser, does not constitute q
conspiracy to violate the volstcad
act, according to jury in federal
court, here. The jury yesterday
found three officials and a sales
man Of the United Vineyards asso-
citation of Chicago and the Califor-
mia Vineyards company not guilty
Of conspiracy to violate the Vol
stead law by selling such grape
juice.
The men discharged were Elmer
F. Neibuhr, Carl A. Futter, Lester
Hynss and j. r. Cradle, officers
and salesmen Of the two concerns.
Significance was attached to the
verdict of the jury, inasmuch as
the companies have sold their pro-
ducts throughout the country.
George L. Winkler. deputy admin
istratcr for Indiana, said he would
continue to press the case on other
evidence. The government had IT
tempted to show that, while the
companies had not actually violated
the law in selling the grape juice
they had entered into = conspiracy
with customers BY selling them Z
beverage which would become IN.
toxicating.

and Examiner today said that
''amssing evidence" Of collusion be-
tween Chicago police officials and
politicians and the operators OF
liquor and gambling resorts has
been obtained by the United States
government in : secret invsstiga-
ton during the last month.
Every police captain, said the
newspaper, has been continually
shadowed BY federal operatives dur
ing the past few weeks. Ward and
precinct committee men and their
''lesser lieutenants," have been un-
der surveillance.
The newspaper said it had been
indicated that Z number OF indict-
ments already have been prepared,
but were being withheld until the
governments case is completed. IT
indictments are to be returned, the
Herald and Examiners information
has it, they probably will charge
conspiracy to violate the volstead
act.
Protection Money Paid
Government men have learned,
the newspaper said, that Balloons
and gambling resorts have operated
only upon the payment Of ''protec-
tion money" which, in some pre-
cincts, went to "high ranking police
officers"

made between some politicians and

AMERICANS REACH HIGHEST MATERIAL
LIVING STANDARD THROUGH ECONOMIC
PROGRESS, SECRETARY HOOVER SAYS
Situation of Prosperity Which
Has Characterized Ameri.
can Industry For Past Six
Years Marred Only by Con-
tinuing Depression Of Agri-
culture

Washington, DEC. Economic
progress during 1927 brought
Americans to the highest material
living standard this country Or any
other country has ever known, Sec
retary Hoover declared today in
his annual report to the president.
A situation Of prosperity which he
said has now been characteristic
Of American industry for six years"
was maintained, marred only by
some continuing depression for agri-
culture, and some backwardness in
individual lines Of industry.
Mr.. Hoover's statistics showed .
steady level Of wholesale prices, de-
clining slightly in recent months;
q maintenance of relatively large
building construction programs; m
increase in the expedition Of rail-
road transportation along with Z
bettered service to users; and . year
Of 'sound but uneventful growth"
in the banking field.
Foreign underwriting by Aneri-
cans during the fiscal year exceeded
that Of any corresponding period in
the history of the United States,
the report said. Foreign capital
securities privately taken, plus d.
rect new investments abroad. proba-
bly, raised the total to 81 ,S5O.O .O0O,-
600 for the year. Financial recon
struction abroad continued on the
whole to be encouraging.

NEEDS
YOUTH, DAWSON
SAYS IN REPORT
Air Corps Commissions Go
Begging For Lack Of Young
S jotexS 10 Take Them
Washington.

Washington, Dec c-Fur.her
concrete evidencef that aviation il
III art that dem3ndS youth m its
devotees stands. out sharply in tbs
first annual report rendered by F.
Trubee Dawson, assistant secretarX
for air in the war department. He
related that air corps commissions
are begging for lack Of youngsters
to take them.
'eThere is still shortage Of COM
missioned personnel. caused chiefly
by reason Of the fact that fewer Of
ficers Of other branches have ap-
piled for transfer to the air corps
than expected, although the war de-
partment has made every effort to
encourage such actor" the report
said. Furthermore, a substantial
number Of those officers who did
apply were unable to pass the ply
sical examination and complete the
course in flying training.
Most Officers Too Old
"Experienc has shown that
transfers afford scant relief because
the great majority of officers have
reached ages beyond which few men
learn to fly sufficiently well to be
satisfactory service pilots. The
type Of personnel most valuable to
the air corps i graduates Of the
United States military academy or of
technical civil institutions Of learn
ing. Efforts are being made to in
terest this type in electing the air
corps in the former case and in quail
flying for examination in the 9th
er."
Nor is It merely youth that fills
the bill, for Dawson says the ratio
Of graduates from army flying
schools to the number Of candidates
who begin the training is discourag-
ingIv low. How to get more men
qualified without lowering the stan
dard ,of requirements forms q grave
problem.
Progress Being Made
ut now appears that certain
changes in training methods them
selves, combined with a more eff
cient selection Of cadet personnel,
will bring about the desired result,
he added. "There is no doubt that
important progress is being made
in that regard.
Still another adverse condition In
the corps affecting commissioned
personnel il the postwar promo
fion blockade which the air secre-
tary said results In lower efficiency
because Of its effect on morale.
He deferred recommendations, how.
ever, pending completion Of the pro-
motion study for the entire army
now in. progress,
Amplifying the seriousness Of
the part that age plays IN building
up and maintaining adequate OIL
Ger personnel for the air, the secre-
tary said another problem on which
he reserved recommendations waa
that Of what to do with air Officers
mo longer fit to fly because Of age.
ut Is fairly definitely established
that : flying officer can not hope to
remain reasonably efficient In serv'
Ice type flying long enough to reach
the present retirement age Of g.
years" he said. "1he services Of
those officers who haye had lono

law. Flying undoubt btedly makes ex-

JOHNSON
CONFESSBS HE
SLEW TEHELKA
Stole Money From Till and
Went Back to Poker Game
Which He Had Been In
Is GIVEN LIFE SENTENCE
Considers That Prospect Bet
ter Than Freedom With q
Guilty Conscience

Nattily dressed but with his face
streaked with traces Of tears, Floyd
johnson, young Minot murderer, ar
rived at the state prison here last
night and today began : life SEN
tence in the state penitentiary. He
will be 81 years old December 8.
johnson was brought here after
having confessed to the murder ol
Rudolph Tehelka, 20, whom he, had
known SINCE they were children liv-
ing in Ward county and with whom
he had worked in the Minot garage
where Tehelka's dead body was
found four days ago.
Pale and dazed, but with . trace
Of his composure restored, johnson
was presented to the state pardon
board shortly after his arrival, that
body now being in session at tho
prison.
Small Of stature and young Is.
pearing for his years. johnson
looked more like Z schoAl boy than
q man who had taken the life Of :
companion, prison officials said.
The youth was given number
l604, by which he probably will be
known until the end Of his days. ar.
rayed in prison garb and this morn
ing sat alone in the prison cell
which will he his home until he fol-
lows his slain companion to the
grave.
Talks Freely Of Crime
Even that prospect was better,
johnson told Warden John Lee, than
freedom with the death Of Tehelks
on his conscience He talked sof
the crime freely and said he was
glad that the periodmpf waitinx {dr
the police to "come and get" him
was over.
Lee had known both johnson md
Tehelka since they wore chjl6rAn
and had known their families sinco
before either boy was born.
Narcotic drugs, gambling and
wild women were responsible for
his act. Johnson told the warden.
The dope he said he obtained from
man in kenmare and had b.cu
using regularly. This. the warden
said, was borne out by his appear
ance.
johnson told the warden how he
had visited the garage where he
formerly had worked with Tehelka
and found the latter DOING in the
office. johnson said he obtained q
hammer, struck Tehelka on the
head and then pierced his heart
with the scissors. Taking $6S from
the till he returned to the poker
game which he had left to visit the
garage and there he lost $28 Of the
stolen money. The next day he lott
cred around Minot and played pool
but the thought Of his deed preyed
continually upon his mind.
Lost Money ut Poker
His visit to the garage, johnson
said. was caused by the fact that
he had lost all his money in the
poker game and wanted to obtain
from Tehelka some money which he
claimed the latter had borrowed
from him.
Warden Lee said he had learned
from other sources that johnson
apparently blamed Tehelka for hin
discharge from the garage where he
formerly had worked and had been
without job since leaving the
place.
