DOW LAW AMENDMENTS.

Cleveland Leader.
Petitions are in circulation asking the
General Assembly to amend section II
of the Dow law so as to provide that in
municipal corporations that have adopt
ed local option prohibition, suspected
premises may be searched for intoXica-
ting liquors; that such liquors, if found,
may be confscated and destroyed upon
the final adjudication of the case; that
their possession shall be taken as prima
facie evidence of guilt; that the giving
away as well as the sale of liquor shall
be unlawful; and that the maxium pen
atty for violation of the law shall be
$1,000.
With every well-considered effort to
enforce and strengthen the Dow law we
have full sympathy. Eyasive sales of
liquor under the guise of gifts ought to
be effectively legislated against, and are
in most of the general and local option
laws in other States. The possession OF
liquors, when manifestly for the purpose
of sale and not for domestic use, might
well be considered prima .facje evidence
of guilt, and there does not appear any
valid reason why the cOntraband articles
should not be confScated and destroyed
after the case had been finally adjudica-
ted.
But we are by no means so confident
as to the wisdom of the other proyis-
ions of the proposed amendment. There
is no moral objection, of course, to the
search of premises reasonably suspected
of being used to violate the law, but
such authority is liable to abuse and to
be operated so as to bring the law into
disrepute and disfavor. That is the ex-
perience to considerable extent in 9TH
er States. While it is desirable that all
proper agencies should be employed to
enforce the law, it is more than desira-
bic, it is necessary, that aversion to it
should not be created by the adoption
of inquisitorial methods. The proposal
to increase the fine to $1,000 is open to
the objection of doubtful constitutional
ity. The courts might cOnstrue it to be
''cruel" or unusual"
The best that can be hoped for from
any prohibitory legislation is that it
will reduce the sale and use of liquor as
a beverage to the minimum. Prohibi-
ton at best is only restrictive measure.
Absolute prohibition is impossible of
realization. Care should be taken, there
fore, in enforcing prohibitory laws not
to risk popular approval of what has
already been accomplished toward sup
pressing the traffic, by extraordinary, un-
usual. or extremely severe measures
The effect of these may be to create
revulSion in public feeling, or so sensi-
bly, to weaken favorable sentiment as to
make further enforcement of the law
impossible.

HURLEY, Wis, Sept 2l.-The safe in the
Union Exchange bank here was blown open
last night and s39,S95 stolen The money
was to pay the miners of the Ashland and
Germany mines. The money was sent from
Ashland Wis, and arrived here about 9
O'Clock, and was to have been used to pay
off the miners to-day. The cash
Ter put the money inside OF
the iron vault and left shortly
after o'clock. A light was left burning in
the Office, and few minutes after 9 a man
was seen working at the safe, but he had on
the cashiers Office coat and nothing was
thought of it by those who passed the bank.
The cashier returned shortly after IL o'clock,
when he discovered the money was missing.
Active measures were then taken to get after
the robbers but no trace of them has been
found. Not even the falntest clue was left
by the bold burglars. The door of the vault
had not been marred and it was opened by
some one who hal learned the combination.
There were only two meu supposed to be IN
possession of IL, Cashier Reynolds and As
sistant Cashier Leonard Perrin.
The exact amount stolen was S39,S9 The
robbers were evidently in too much of a
hurry to take the small silver, and 81, sos
was left behind.
The United States Express company is the
loser of the money. They did not deposit it
in the..bank, but merely left it there for safe
keeping over night when it would be deliv
el ed to the consgnee, Manager William p.
Lyon, of the Ashland and Germania mines.

The Rights OF Corporations.

f. L. Stringer, a lineman in the employ Of
the telephone company, was yesterday held
to the grand jury in the sum of 500 by
Squire Schurz, on the charge of malicious
trespass The complaint was filed by Mr..
George Graves, who alleged that the de.
fendaut in pursuit Of his duties as an en-
ploye of the company, tresspassed upon his
grounds and cut down a number of trees.
The trees interfered with the lines of the
company so Graves trimmed them so as TO
leave.a space of about four feet both above
and below the wires. The owner of the
property thought there had been too much
trimming done, in fact much more than was
absolutely necessary, and therefore decided
to find out in court just what rights he had
in the matter. SQUIRE Schurz concluded
that it was a question for the higher court
to settle, so bound over the defendant. The
case will be watched with considerable in
terest, as there are a number of citizens who
would like to know whether or not their
shade trees must be sacrificed when the
erection of telephone or telegraph lines de-

that he was in Omaha on the evening when
the crime is supposed TO have been commit

train at the Northwestern depot about .
o'clock, but his movements previous TO that
time are not explained. The authorities
admit that he may have taken the car for
Omaha, as he states, and still be a party TO
the murder, as the crime. so far as Is known,
was committed about $3.50, which would give
the murderer time to get to the place above
designated before . o'clock. They are still
positive that they have the right man, or one

working to find clue that would develop a

and Sent Over the hin.
Frank Wilson alias Harry Price and John
Murphy, two very tough men, were before
Judge Derka yesterday afternoon charged
with disorderly conduct. They were found
guilty and sent to Jail for twenty-five days,
the first and last three on bread and water.
Both men have history. Price is an old
Omaha crook who has served time in almost
every state in the union. He was implica ted
in diamond robbery at San Quentin, Cal,
and served six months. He has done
time in Walla Walla and in Pennsyl-
vania. A few weeks ago he went to Kansas
City and was apprehended by Chief Speers,
who exhibited him to the police force and
drove him out of town. He then went to
Lincoln and served ten days on suspicion.
When released he came to Omaha to "turn
trick" after which he intended to go to
Sioux City and work the corn palace before
going south. Murphy is an old-timer also,
and but recently got on of the Douglas
county Jail for robbery committed at South
Omaha He, about a year ago, assaulted
officer Hoge and was beaten into a jelly for
his pains.
