. Takes Step to Decide
, Whether War Is Now
2t an End.
San' Francisco, May 2. Perma
nent injunction to restrain Mrs. An-
nette Adams, United States attor-
- ney, from enforcing provisions of
" the wartime prohibition act of No
vember 21, 1918, and the Shepperd
prohibition amendment was sought
m the United States district court
here today in "a petition, filed by
Theodore A, Bell, an attorney.
The petition was filed' in the name
of a winemaker and a vineyardist.
It recites that utiles restrained Jy
injunction action under these law's
. will wipe out the product of 177,000
acres' in California, valued at $75,
000,000. It alleges the wartime pro
hibition act. effective July 1, 1919, is
i unconstitutional. and ineffective since
. ' the president in-an address before
congress stated that "the. war now
comes to an end." v
The petition charges that Depart
ment of Agriculture agents and state
agents had encouraged the produc-'
tion of wine grapes and has estab
lished an experimental vineyard to
encourage -vineyardists to produce
win grapes. The action is based
upon an agreement by the vineyard
ist made today to furnish wine
grapes to the winemaker. '

Peggy's Hardest Work Was
To Act as Mascot for Firm
Not Hard to Pose &r Mermaid, Mrs. Sellers Tejls At
torneys Judge Has Doutys About Oil Interests
Claimed, to Have rseen
"Peggy" Sellers, in municipal
court before Judge Holmes yes
terday afternoon, testified that the
hardest form of work she. did for
George, C. Chrisman was passing as
a Kentucky heiress.
This part of the evidence was in
connection with her counter claim
for $2,500 due to her tor al'cfged
services performed for Chrisman.
Chrisman's attorneys made rigorous
assaults against Peggy's contentions
that her services were of fact arther
than fancy. Gus Bolton and Dr.
E. E. Sample, who have been as
sociated with Chrisman in the oil
promotion - business, declared that
Peggy did not have anything, to do
with the Kentucky development
company, as-laimed. Lirara Nehr
bas, public stenographer at the
Castle hotel, testified that she had
performed much wdVk for Chrisman,
which, tended Ho disprove Peirev's
'testimony that she did ny consid
erable amount' of typewriting work.
1 here was much testimony to upset
rggys statements that she was
connected witlwn oil development
company being promoted by hris-
man and others. '
Judge Has Doubts.
"I don't believe that she toad any
interests , in Kentricky, , annouced
Judge Holmes. "What were those
maps for? lo Swindle the public?"
Peggy s claim thaPshe performed
extensive and intricate services
while working for Chrisman were re
futed by various witnesses. '
What arrangement had you with
Mr. Chrisman asto your bosinjsss re
lations?" was asked tf PeggyT
"It was well known that I was the
m scot of the company. Mr. Chris
man called me the good luck charm.
They always called me 'Little
Peggy, the mascot.
'-'-What was 'your hardest work
while., in the employ of Mr. Chris
man?" asked Attorney W. H. Hat-
teroth.
"Posing as a Kentucky heiress."
"Is is hard for you to pose?"
"It is."
"Is it hard for you to pose as a
mermaid?" - '
"No. that is still life." .J ,C

didLyou go to Sioux City on tha way
from Omaha to .Belle Plaine?"
asked Attorney William Whittaker.
"Thai's none of your business and
has nothing to do with this case,"
Peggy sharply replied.
"Why did you have your mail sent
to Sioux City as Peggy Gilchrist?"
- "Because Jr. Chrisman introduced
m as Peggy Gikhrist."
Anticipated Marriage.
"Did you tell Mr. Chrisman that
you did not want Raymond Bolonge
to know that yoa were married, be
cause you were engaged to Bolonge
and because he had bought furni
ture and you were to have been mar
ried to him on last Christmas day?"
"Np, I did not, but I can't help
some man buying a house full of
furniture because he may anticipate
marriage." ( , . ,
"Didn't Christian tell you that you
were walking into trouble?"
"No."
"Didn't you go into Mr. Chris
man's room when -he' was sick and
you were crying and you told him
that Jimmy had-een a brute and
had spent your money?'! r
"Not as blase as that." ' .
"What did you say?"
'iThat vJimmy had been indis
creet. v
"On that occasion, when Mr.
Chrisman ws ill, didn't you go to
his. dresser and" take $20?"
"I did not."
"Then I am sorry for your lapse
of memory." '
"And Iam sorry for your ungen
tlemanliness."
"Didn't 'you and Jimmy sit on the
edge of, Mr. Chrisman's bed on Jan
uary 4 and you said that you and
Jimmy had made up?"
Chrisman Qffers Backing.
"Daddy Ghrisman tola me that lie
would back me for $10,000 and that
if Jimmy was not good to me he
would take care of me himself."
"Have you said anything of a
threatening nature to Mr. Chris
man since this action was started?"
"Since he has taken all of my
clothes away. I haven't spoken to
him except to say 'How do you do,',
When I saw him carrying flowers to
a woman."
"Did you ever say to Chrisman
that you had killed a man?"
''No, but before we left Billings
for Kentucky I showed him a horse
whip and said that if he ever in
sulted me I would horsewhip him,
and I told him that I had horse
whipped a man once."
"Didn'Uyou' and Marie Casey go
to Chrisman on the night of the at
tachment of your things?"
"Yes, and I told him that he
should crawl through a knot-hole,
and he only Maid on the bed and
grunted."
Mr. Bolton and Dr. Sample tes
tified that they had never bard
Peggy introduced lby Chrisman as
a, Kentucky heiress, or as the mas
cot. - '
Had No Connection. '
"I know thatshe had no irrterfcsf
in the company, testified the dflc
tor, referring to the Kentucky De
velopment company with which
Peggy claimed to have had promi
nent connections. ,
Mr. Bolton declared that Peg.tfy
was introduced to him by Chris
man as the owner of the Miracle oil
land lease in Kentucky. Peggy ex
plained that the Miracle oil well
was located in a cemetery.
Peggy reiterated her former tes1
timony that Chrisman' coached her
to represent that certain Kentucky
foil wells produced IS to 20 barrels
a day, instead of 3 to 5 barrels;
also that she fixed up oil land maps
with rivers and trees and oil wells
to make a showing on paper.
During the afternoon Judge
Holmes suppressed an incipient dis
pute between Peggy and Chrisman.
Many cross words were ex
changed yesterday morning in Judge
Holmes' division of municipal court
between reggy sellers and oppos
ing lawyers, William Whittaker and
George Mertens.
'Several times Peggy pointed her
finger at Whittaker and declared
that his questions wet insulting,
evasive and everything like that.
Whittaker threatened to have the
diminutive 19-year-old bride cited
for contempt of court.
- Whittaker and Mertens clashed
several times.
"If. I was as sarcastic as you I
would quit,", exclaimed Whittaker.
"Don't get excited," retorted
Mertens.
' "I am getting 'tired of your
tactics and I'm going to- shut you
off," was the next reioinder. ,
"If you keep on in that way there
will be trouble."
Rises to Feet.
"I'll meet any trouble there may
be when I reach it," replied Whit
taker, rising to his fet. ,
