BANK BUILDING OWNED BY WYMAN'S; REPORT OF LEASE IS INCORRECT According to information received this morning. the building nowoccupied by tho South Pend National bank is owned by Mrs. Georg "Wyman, and the Wyman store will occupy the building by ownership, and not by lease, as was reported in yesterday's News-Times. The misunderstanding grew out of the fact that there was some talk of releasing the-building, but Mrs. Wyman f.nally decided not to rent the place, even though tho American Trust company made a bid for it.

ÜL SUES HUSBANC Man Charged With Violating Liquor Escapes Through Court Order. "When a man has trouble with his wife, and the court Issues an Injunction against him, restraining him from going to his home, and the police visit his home while he is being restrained from going there and find several gallons of liquor, and arrest the man, and he and his wife testify in city court that the liquor was not there beforo he was restrained, he is not guilty of violating the liquor law. Anyway, that is the ruling Judge Gilmer made in the case of the utate against William Tomkins, 702 Carlisle Kt., In city court Wednesday morning. Tho police visited Tomklns' home about 3 o'clock on the morning of Jan. 20. They found Tomklns and V. ' - I 1s-fc-rr r -1 V cnt't -0 1 fT"" 1 1 r Ti 3 j of liquor in the house. They were 'taken to police headquarters. At me neanng ueunesuay muni ing both Tomklns and his wife denied possession of the liquor. An order restraining Tomklns from going to his home, issued by the St. Joseph circuit co,urt, was presented in evidence by th defense. The restraining order is dated Jan ID, and was issued in the divorce proceedings of the Tomkins. Tomklns and his wife both testified that Tomkins came home shortly before the police arrived, and had just settled their domestic difference when the police walked in. Tomkns swore that he did not take the whisky home. Mrs. Tomkins ! said that It had been taken there by a man named Alex Constanovich during Tomkins absence, and Constanovich, who is said to have figured in the Tomklns' dhorce proceedings, denied that he had anything to do with the whisky except calling the police at the request of Mrs. Tomkins. Judge Gilmer declared that It was very hard to get the straight of the case, but ho could not find Tomkins guilty on the evidence, so he dismissed the case. TELLS HOW CHRISTMAS CAME TO THE YANKS In a letter written to his mother on Christmas day, Pvt. Pay L. Waterman, a former resident of this city- now serving with the sixth U. S. engineers In the American expeditionary forces at Peaune, France, tells how Christmas came to the "Yanks" overseas. "About 7 o'clock our tent was called to the Red Cross building for our Christmas socks each of us received a pair and In them we found one cigar, two O. D. handkerchiefs, two packages of cigarets. a box of matches, about eight ounces of candy, a handful of nuts and currants. After all had received their pifts the Red Cross building was thrown open to the entire camp. The cooks had prepared 8,000 doughnuts, and we lined tip like at messtime and passed the doughnut counters, then came to the other things each one got a little tin whistle and home 'toot' we had. Holding out our overseas caps we had them filled with nuts, currants and figs, all mixed up. Of course, we had to go the second time for another doughnut, then most of us went to our tents. Some one brought the word that they were still giving out doughnuts, so back we went for more, but of course, couldn't eat any more then, although they went good for breakfast. "At 10 o'clock next day we went over to the base hospital to attend the Christmas day services and holy communion, and in the afternoon we wrote letters, and it being Wednesday the chaplain came over and held evening services. So that ende'd Christmas day, 1913, my second Christmas in Prance."

"D you realize what can be accomplished through the civic association?" and "Do you know what a community center Is for?" Several musical felections were rendered by the Clover-Ienf orchestra and community singing was directed by Miss Rlla Rieman.

This was on- of a series of meetings being held at the church this week in the interest of the Centenary movement. Itev. Clouse said that "Go ye into nil the world," meant to go with prayer, money and service, as well as with talk.

Schaefer, chairman of the local council, will preside and there will be tAlks by William Maurer of St. Paul's M. K. church, a minute-man from the First Methodist church and other local minute-men.
