BOOTLEGGERS ARE
USING NEW TACTICS

Sioux City, Nov. 6.--New defensive
tactics have been adopted by the boot
.eggers of Sioux City. They are now
attacking the validity of the search
warrants used by the raiding squad.
This plan was disclosed In the case OF
Rose CAVITY, arrested on charge Of
bootleggng, whose attorney alleges
that non. of the warrants used in the
searches conducted by the raiders cit:
ed sufficient grounds for search and
seizure" If the contention Is upheld
it will do away with all sudden night
raids. the most effective weapon OF the
police in their war on the Illegal sale

ODLE STILL TRIES
TO GET INJUNCTION

Des Moines. Nov. s. M. f. Dale,
attorney for the Anti-Saloon league,
made another attempt to secure an in.
junction which would restrain the Iowa
Drug company from selling alcohol
when he filed motion to reopen the
case begun recently in the Polk county
district court. The injunction in the
first case was denied on the ground
that the company had right to sell al,
cohol to registered pharmacists and
physicians. Mr.. Odle in his motion
claims to have evidence that the com.
pany sold alcohol to one B. b. DAVIS
who is not pharmacist or doctor.

", on the other hand the United
States does not assert this principle
then the matter between us is one
rather of detail than Of principle. It
seems as vital now as in March that
we would right ourselves In legal form
by declaring a blockade of Germany
and announcing our intention to in
terpret that blockade on the principle
of the ultimate destination OF cargo,
for which there is good authority in
international practice
Brltons Express Surprise.
Notwithstanding the forecasts of the
American note to Great Britain, which
had been sent from Washington by
correspondents of the British press,
surprise is the predominant tone of
the majority Of the British newspapers
in their comment on the ducument
'The American note on our inter-
ference with neutral trade" says the
Pail Mall Gazette, will be read with
some surprise in this country. While
the duty Of every power to keep vigi-
liant guard over the interests of it's own
commerce will be freely recognized, it
must be felt that the United States
scarcely grapples with the realities Of
the situation created In the first place
by the fact of war and in the second
by the criminality Of German prac-
tees. 1t is impossible to deal with
questions arising between the allies
and and the United States while ignor-
ing the practices of Admiral Won Tir-
pitt and the changes in policy which
= ay,fn al
friends"
Blame Put on v. s.
The Gazette says the British govern
ment has shown desire to reduce in
convenience to neutral trade to MN
mum, but that 1t Is notorious that the
methods of concealment which 1t de-
clares have been adopted by American
shippers exhibit variety and an in
genuity demanding the most thorough
counter check
The Westminster Gazette says:
"The American note Is d filter sub
ject for argument between experts
than for controversy between news
papers, but we may ask politely of the
American government what it would
permit us to do II we may not pros
claim a blockade. or bring suspected
ships into port for search, or bring
them before prize court; or ques-y
rion the imports Of one neutral with
another Oh suspicion that they were
destined for an enemy country: or
take exceptional measures Of any kind
against an enemy who has invented a.
form of warfare which is unknown to
international law and repugnant to
humanity
The newspaper contends that be-
hind the uncertain law Of former times
lies broad consideration OF equity. 1t
is confident, it says that the United
States will consider the contrast be-
tween the German and British practice
ami whether Great Britain has made
excessive use Of her sea power.
