Times alchemy has brought ten
years OF prohibition to the United
States.
Ten years ago today, the eight
zenith amendment became law,
In a weather-worn brick build
ing at 1856 Madison avenue are
memories, half-fantastic ghosts of
those years before Jan. 16, 1920.
In wood building adjoining the
brick structure sits one whom the
alchemy of time has brewed into
a product of the prohibition days.
For in the heyday of the IL
censed extraction Of alcoholic con-
tent from malt, the brick building
employed 1910 men and was known
as the indianapolis Brewing Com
pany.
But now fourteen men labor in
the few rooms of the building used
for bottling of soft drinks.
In those days when beer kegs we're
as common as auto accidents and
not curiosity in the Smithsonian
Institute, the one who sat in the
wood building was John J. Giesen
brewmaster.
His beers won the gold medals al
Paris and in Belgium, the Cross Of
Honor in France, a grand prize in
Italy.
But now he is John J. Giesen
manufacturer of soft drinks.

BAR DEBATES
REVISION OF
CONSTITUTION
Albert Stump Argues for
Change, With J. w. Noel
in Opposition.
TORYISM IS ASSAILED
Attorneys of State Gather
for MidWinter Meet
ing at Club.

Tories never favor governments
change; and opposition to Indiana
constitutional revision comes from
the Tors of today.
This was the contention of Albeit
Stump, in DEBATE in the midwinter
meeting of the Inoiana State Bar
Association at the Columbia Club
This afternoon.
Stump pleaded for constitutional
revision by convention, as Will be
voted upon next fail, and James
w. Noel took the opposite position.
Both are outstanding members OF
the Indianapolis bar.
The very language of the Tory
reappearS ana sometimes is ap-'
plauLed today in fighting against
any change in the Constitution"
Stump told the lawyers, assembled
from throughout the state.
Cites Progressive Language
Against the tide of that kind
Of advice is the progressive Ian
guage of Jefferson and Hamilton,
Madison and Washington and all
others whom we now honor.
THE same talk about dangers on
account of groups of fanatics, wild
eyed reformers, half baked idealiStS
and vague and dreamy theorists was
heard when our national Constitu-
ton was founded. These things were
as eloquently spoken then as now by
champions Of the things that were
against those who championed the
things that should be.
What America needs most 10
guard against is not change" Stump
said. "It is not revision of Con-
stitution. The most dangerous
spirit that can enter into a country
is the spirit of Chinese devotion to
the past that would prevent a gov
eminent from courageously and
righteously adapting itself to mat
tiers cut of which injust!ces and In
EQUITIES otherwise would develop In
| the forward march OF events.
Mott States Change
Every state in the Union, except
eight, has set aside it's old Consti-
tuition and adopted new one since
1851. None of them has lost the
liberties that some fear would dis
appear in such venture.
THE people Of Indiana should not
be afraid of themselves" he con-
cluded.
Noel contended that the first In
diana Constitution, made by nifty
men in nineteen days in 1916, was
in many respects better than the
second and present one, made In
1850, after 127 days had been spent
am 1913 resolutions voted upon.
He pointed out that the business
like rather than scholarly. qualities
of the bar generally and the mob
spirit Of the times would not
strengthen the idea that new Con-
stitution would be a better one.
Noel Opposes Move
| Amendments, when Sorely needed,
and legislation can care for all
progress and improvement neces-
sary, he asserted.
81 would stress the value of set
tied construction of an instrument
saventy-eight years CID" he de-
clared. Settled construction Of
fundamental law is necessary"
Attorney General James NJ.
Ogden, president Of the Indiana
| State Bar Association, gave a short
address at the opening session this
morning.
James A. Van Osdol Of Anderson
told of the work of the Governors
crime commission, of which he Is
head, and urged its support by the

Jury TO GET
CALUMET PLOT
CASE TONIGHT
Seven Hours Allotted for
Final Pleas in Liquor
Graft Trial.
ATTORNEY GOES FREE
Judge Slick Declines to
Permit Guess to Put
Lawyer in Jail.

BIZ United Press
HAMMOND, Ind, Jan. l6.-The
list of defendants in the East Chi
cago liquor conspiracy case was re-
duced again today, as lawyers began
their final plea in federal court,
here.
Lester Ottenheimer, lawyer,
charged with taking $2,250 for
fixing liquor case, was freed on
a directed verdict of acquittal
Judge Thomas w. Slick said the
government had raised a suspicion,
but had not established his guilt.
Long ago 1 adopted the reSolu-
ton that I never would allow a de-
PENDANT to be guessed into JAIL" the
judge declared.
Jury to Get Case Tonight
Court was slow in getting started
today and the case was not likely
to be placed before the jury earlier
than 6 this evening.
Four hours were allotted to the
defense, and three to the govern
ment for the final pleas, preceding
the judges instructions to the jury.
District Attorney Oliver LOOMS
Of South Bend and Earl j. Davis
Of Detroit, special assistant, were
to close for the government. w. j.
McAleer and Timothy Calvin of
Hammond headed a list of twelve
or more defense attorneys who were
expected to make final pleas in be-
half of various clients included
among defendants.
Presentation of evidence was con-
Guided late Wednesday afternoon,
after a session which saw two de-
PENDANTS take the stand in their
own behalf and contradict the tes-
timony of Mayor Hale, who denied
any prediction promises, while on
the stand Tuesday.
Tell of Assignment
The two were Sanford Overall
and Eldridge White, who, while de-
cIarmg no mentlon was made OF IL
quor, and that they were not boot
leggers, said Hale had assigned them
and Grice Chandler, Negro vice
overload, certain gambling territories
in East Chicago in return for cleo
ton support.
The government introduced only
one witness in rebuttal-Leon Tor
rou, department agent, who testified
that White, when arrested, had con-
fesSed to liquor activities.
The twenty whose cases will be
sent to the jury tonight represent
the remainder of forty-one original
ly indicted in the case. Nolle
Prose- actions, misnomer pleas, mo-
tons for directed verdict, and fall

half.

termined not to accept the eight
ecnth amendment as settling for
ever the liquor question in this
country.
Everything that unprincipled
men with money could do to break
down prohibition and bring it into
disrepute has been attempted.
To-day prohib. ton is the biggest
question icfcre the American peo-
pie and there is only one thing that
America honorably can do, only one
way that we, a liberty loving, self
sacrificing people, can afford to go
and that is straight ahead with law
enforcement in this country.
1--WE are facing today one OF the
most critical times in our history,
we are meeting a great crisis, that
of the enforcement or nonenforce-
lnent of our laws. We must realize
that our nation can not exist half
law abiding and half law breaking.

not alchemy. So when one asks
Giesen about the past ten years of
prohibition he gets the answer OF
a logician:
"There's been quite few changes
in industry. Horses supplanted
autos. Autos, licensed and regu-
lated were a very good substitute.
Prohibition prohibited the brewing
of a wholesome, healthful beverage,
as beer and light wines. But in
having prohibition we received the
substitute of numerous of poisonous
connections, without license or reg
ulation. So prohibition was not a
good substitute"
And GieSen goes back to his walls
Of soft drink drops in the lee of
the brick building with it's discarded
beer barrels, unused malt tank,
empty ale vats.
He's a logician. Times the al
chemist. He knows logic won't
make him a brewmaster again, but
time-well, they still do strange
things in the test tubes of alchemy.
