Federal Grand Jury viii
Meet at South Bend.

BIZ Dntted Press
GARY, Ind, Feb. 20.-A federal
grand jury has been called to meet
Monday, Feb. d, in South Bend,
it was learned here when several
subpenas were served. District
Attorney Oliver M. LOOMS con-
firmed a report the session would
be held.
The session will be short, Loomis
said, continuing only through the
following Saturday, because Of the
opening of federal court in Ham
mond, March 3. At that time for
mer Mayor Raleigh P. Hale and
James E. Regain, former chief of
police, both Of East Chicago, and
thirteen other defendants found
guilty in a liquor conspiracy trial
will be sentenced by Judge Thomas
w. Slick.
LOOMS, In confirming reports of
jury session Monday, declined to say
what would be considered. He said
he had been ordered to strict
secrecy on grand jury affairs by
Judge Slick as a result of publicity
given the last session which indicted
more than 200 persons in Lake
county.
1t is believed, however. the jury
will consider cases pending from
the last federal court session, which
resulted in dismissal of several in
dictments on technicalities.

A sixty-year dispute over owner
ship Of a tract in the heart of New
York's business district, is expected
to be aired by the federal grand
Jury now in session here.
George E. Fleming Of New York,
former Shelbyville GndO attorney,
in Indianapolis, announced he
probably would testify before the
grand jury as to his collection of
fees from alleged heirs to the tract.
Fleming testified before federal
grand jury in New York, March l,
1928, and was absolved OF any fraud
in the case, he declared.
The tract involved is said to have
been decided originally by King
George III to Robert Edwards Of
New York for meritorious service as
a British subject.
It later passed into hands OF
Aaron Burr, famed conspirator OF
history, and now is part of the
holdings of Trinity church of New
York city. Based on estimates
mace in 1898, the present value OF
the tract is in excess of $4,000, 000,-
900. More than 1900 heirs are be-
lieved alive today, Fleming de-
clared.

When the City Of New York
turned its prov toward the warmer
seas Wednesday, Rear Admiral
Richard E. Byrd had brought to a
climax the comparatively short
number of years of exploration
which has taken him to both points
of the globe. and many times under
most trying conditions.
p Years of Adventure
Now, at Al. Byrd may look back
over a period of twenty-seven years
of accomplishment since he made
an entry in his diary at IA that he
would explore the north pole These
accomplishments have brought him
the rank of Rear Admiral in the
United States navy. although he
was at one time discharged because
of injured bones in his foot.
During the war, Byrd entered the
naval aviation service and was ac-
tive in planning the first round the
world flight for naval planes in
1919, although he did not make the
trip himself. Since that time events
have followed in quick succession,
definitely linking him with the
development of flight in this
country.
The most important accomplish
ment heralding his entry into Arc
tic flying was in 1925 when, with
the assistance of Floyd Bennett,
who has died since, and assistants,
he few over the Arctic, gaining
much valuable information for
science.
On May 9, 1926, with Bennett as
copilot he flew over the north pole
and back to Spitzbergen, 1860 miles,
in fifteen and one-half hours. Then
a short time later, he announced
his plans for the south pole.
Landed Near Paris
Just as an appetizer. on the
morning of June 90, 1927, with a
crew of three men, Byrd hoped
off from Roosevelt field in the tri-
motored monoplane, America, for
Paris. On the morning of July l,
the plane was landed in the sea
off Yer Sur Mer, short distance
from Paris, after a narrowing battle
with fog. during which the plane
actually had been over Paris.
After he returned from Paris he
began careful preparations for the

The case was first brought by

Robert Ingersoll, atheism exponent,
as plaintiff.
Fleming declared any case
brought by heirs today hinges on
whether they can prove former
ownership of the property. The
original deed is lost and many pre-
revolutionary documents, believed to
hold proof, may have been lost in
the recent fire at the White House,
Fleming declared.
