"A Friend Brings About an Outrage in Bessemer and Mayor Suspends Chief of Police from Office for En- forcing the Fuller Law Too We'll

about to cross the threshold of his home. They were to search his home. to turn over his goods and his private possessions, to go from bed to bureau from bureau to trunk. because "A Friend' in an anonymous letter said that he had reasons to believe that whiskey was being sold in the Bell home. Young Bell submitted protect ing his wife as much as possible from the shock.
 When the ordeal was over. the young husband went out andt told his friends of the invasion of his home and of It's search. Bell 1t happened, had some relatives who were in official places. They hurried to the mayor. and right then, the mayor realized that a mis- take had been made.
 Thought He was Humble.
 It is said that an alderman who pro- tested was told:
 "We did not know 1t was that Joe Bell: we thought 1t was another ma n of that name"
 But the storm had been raised and tardy explanations could not calm 1t From mouth to mouth the story went. The crowds at the drug store and the street corners talked of nothing else. The language was not choice: the ex- Pt SSSiOho WStO iOt clck& &HI. 1nG more earnest pro-amendments leaders who want the privilege of having homes searched when they are suspected of holding liquor would have heard no- thing to their liking at these indig- gnant gatherings.
 For the harrassed and worried pro- amendment leaders in Jefferson County the invasion of the Bell home was most unfortunate. The tide has been running away from them in Jefferson as 1t has been in other counties of the State. In the midst of their ex- citing labor to change an unfavorable cident occurred.
 The word had been sent out that there were to be no more home-search- ings in Jefferson until after the cleo ton. The politicians had urged the fee-hungry officials to hold up until the vote had been cast and counted. And on the heels of this caution detectives. whose zeal outran their discretion. breaks into respectable home and go through those household goods, about which. to every right thinking men, there Is a certain sanctity.

 And in the meanwhile the Chief of Police of Bessemer has surrendered the star of his ofifce.
 Yet. his action was within the law. He was perhaps guilty of an error of judgment, but no Illegal act was per- formed. "A Friend" can write an anonymous letter and have mans home searched. "An Enemy" can write a letter to the Sheriff or to the police and start in motion the mach fnery of the law for an invasion and search.

Birmingham, Nov. 14-(SpeciaD- Bessemer and all 'Jefferson county. for that matter. Is astir over the search of the home of respectable citizen. because the mayor of Bessemer had received an anonymous letter signed. "A Friend" In which 1t was charged that liquor was being sold in the home of Joe Bell, a young man of high standing.
 No liquors of any kind we're found In the Bell home.
 As result of the stir and excite ment the City Council met in special session this morning. And then Police Chief T. B. Wallace, whose detectives made the search, was promptly sus- pended. The end is not yet, for 1t is now indicated that this home search ing in Bessemer Is to be noted as one of the big events of the campaign in Jefferson county
 The mayor got this letter, signed "A Friend" and turned it over to the Chief of Police. It said that A Friend" had reasons to believe that whiskey was being sold in the home of Joe Bell in East Bessemer. Now the town knows Joe Bella good citi- zen and man of excellent standing. He and his young wife are connected with some of the best people of the place.
 A "GentlemanIy" Raid.
 Based on the hazy and anonymous charge made by "A Friend" the police determined to search the home of Bell. The young wife met them at the door and they told her of their mission. Because of her delicate condition she hsked that she be spared the excite ment of the search and that they wait until her husband came to dinner. Approaching the danger that excite ment might mean to her in her condi- tion. the detectives. McCabe and Par sons, agred to her request.
 As Sheriff Drago would say. "The search was conducted in a gentlemanly and courteous manner"
