 ING BAGGAGE.
BlEnaangham Chief Issues 0rders to De- Dartueat-Reeent Incident stirs Many Catssens Aganst Constf-
 tutional Amendment.

Birmineham. oct 4-(Special) - Much discussion is heard over the | stopping of a negro with two grips or suit cases Saturday night in one Of the principal streets of the city by three police oflcers, and the searching Of the grips looking for liquor. The discussion Is along the lines that if . negro can be stopped and his grips searched. why can it not be done Tn the case of . white man or even white woman?
 The matter has grown so warm that Chief of Police Bodeker today Issued the following instructions to the Po- lice Department:
 Birmingham, Ala. Oct. (. Police Department. City. "A1l members of this department are hereby Instructed not to search any ones grips or baggage unless the par ty pointing out same as containing in- toxicating liquors, is a reliable person, and then only by the persons sworn ah1davit to same.
 T wish to call your attention again to the advice of a few days ago by City Attorney Thach regarding the searching of residences also. Please bear this in mind and be gov , erned accordingly. "George H. Bodeker. "Chief of Police The Chief also announced today that he did not intend to allow the Police Department to be used for political purposes by either side of the contro. versy on the Constitutional Amend. ment.
 The negro stopped by the police Sat urday night carried two grips in which
 there was clothing belonging to both
 a woman and a man. The negro was badly frightened and denied at the
 start of the search that there was any thing in the grips. The police paid no
 attention to him and searched well but
 found nothing in the way of liquor. Im-
 mediately upon being released the me-
 gro made for a suburban electric car.
 The matter was the subject of much comment all day yesterday and again today. Despite the fact that 1t Is con- sidered political capital in some direet- ions, the incident has done more to fan
 up the interest against the Fuller H. quor bill and the proposed Constitu-
 tional Amendment that anything that
 has happened in some days.
