THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. FRIDAY, JAN. 10, 1919. PAGE THREE r RESIGNATION OF PRO-GERMANS IS FORCED BY MOB Soldiers Lead Drive Against Officials in Evansville Rabbi Acts as Spokesman. EVANSVILLE, Ind., Jan. 10. A "petition in boots." presented by clti tens and world war veterans at the court house of Vanderburg county here this morning, 'forced the resigna tion of Fred Buente, county commis sioner, and his son, Henry Buente, county attorney. At the same time the soldiers and citizens obtained the reappointment of Albert J. Veneman as county attor ney after he had been dropped from the pay rolls last Saturday by the county commissioners. Evansville and Vanderburg county never witnessed such a meeting. The soldiers quietly gathered at the Soldiers and Sailors' Coliseum, across the street from the court house. They were in charge of Lieut. Morris R. Levi, who was gassed by the Huns several months ago on the French front. Joined by the citizens, they storm Bd the court house and "Attention!" as heard to ring throughout the cor- idors. The soldiers, sailors and re turned United States marines filed in to the court room of the commission Ms. Charges Disloyalty. riabbl Max J. Merritt, of the Wash ington Avenue Synagogue, acted as ipokesman. directing his remarks at Commissioner Buente, who was sit ting ut the table with the other com missioners, and his son, who was ap pointed county attorney last Saturday. Intense excitement prevailed, and it was plainly evident that Commission er Buerte was greatly agitated. Rabbi Merritt told of the many rum ors that had come to the ears of the soldiers and citizens as to why Vene man was ousted last Saturday. He said that many pro-Germans living in Cierrnan township had become offend pd at Romo of the patriotic speeches made by Veneman during the liberty loan and Red Cross campaigns. Point ing his finger at Buente, Rabbi Mer ritt said he could prove by reputable witnesses that Commissioner Buente had made his boast that Veneman ihould not be reappointed because he was offensive to the pro-Germans. Signs Resignation. Buente tried to talk, but his voice was drowned in cries of "Sit down!" He finally was permitted to speak briefly. A paper was handed to Bu snte by Albert F. Funkhouser. local attorney, whose son, Paul Funkhous pr, a lieutenant, was killed recently In France, and Buente was told to sign his resignation. This he quickly did. . The son also resigned as county attorney, and after Veneman was reappointed the sol diers and citizens quietly filed out of the court house singing "America" nd other patriotic songs. ( Veneman had held the position of rounty attorney for seven years. He cvas speaker of the Indiana house of representatives during the 1911 ses sion. Before dispersing the crowd adopt ed a resolution to the effect that there must not be any German lan guage used in the local churches and schools, and a petition was ordered to he drawn up asking the Indiana legis lature to repeal the law concerning the teaching of German in the grade schools.
