The daisies now so widely scatter
ed over the meadows in America are
said to have grown from a single box
of seeds which Frenchman brought
to this country, and which was brok-
en- by the wayside. The seeds took
root, spread their flowers and were
scattered by the winds over the con-
tinent. So with the first fruits OF

Police Judge Deasy yesterday until
April - to be set.
In the case OF Luther G. Brown, As
sistant District Attorney Ward said he
might be able to proceed with it in two
weeks and Attorney Earl Rogers said
lie wanted as early a date as possible.
Finally the case was continued until
April j to be set.
Rogers called attention to the fact
that a proper return had not been made
on the search warrant in regard to the
papers taken from Browns Office.
Ward acknowledged that the officers
had neglected to give a proper receipt
but q copy had been filed that morning
TO which had been appended an in
ventory OF the papers recovered.
Rogers called the judges attention
10 the insuficiency of the return, which
did not comply with the provisions Of
.Sections 1886 and 1897 of the penal
Node, providing that an immediate re-
turn must be made before magistrate
on a search warrant by the officers who
made the search. The officers should
also take oath as TO the various arti-
cles seized
Ward said he would change the word
certify to the word sworn" in the
amended return, and the judge made
Detective T. c. Murphy take the neces-
ssry oath.
Rogers said that was all right, but
he would not waive his objection that
the return had not been made within
10 days. The search warrant was is
sued March 27 and the law provided
that the return must be made and
sworn TO within 10 days, therefore the
proceedings were void He wanted his
objection put on record.
The Judge said that under the char
ter the property clerk was made the
custodisn Of all property secured un-
der search warrants and Rogers inter-
jected.
you are acting only as a magistrate
and not as q judge, and the section in
the charter does not apply
The judge said he had the right to
place any property for safe keeping
taken on search warrants from his
court where he deemed advisable, and
the property clerk was the proper Gus
todian No one had a right TO see the
property without an order from the
court.
This stopped the argument. Rogers
having accomplished his purpose in
getting his objection put on the record.
