Daily Stock Letter.
UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE New
York Evening Sun financial review
today said:
In the absence Of investment nqu1-
aation In anything like the volume
which featured that movement last
week, the efforts of the professional
bear element to depress values met
with only limited success in the
early stages Of today's stock market.
Here and there throughout the In
dustrial list issues were attacked to
try them out, but as soon as the
traders turned from one stock to an
other the abandoned security at once
responded to the lightened pressure
or at least held its own. with few ex-
ceptions.
AS a matter OF fact the market was
under the leadership Of the steel
group, which had firm undertone
throughout and which in the after.
noon session led the general list to
higher levels, representing gains OF a
fraction to a point or So Trading,
however, continued dull IN the ex-
IRENE. There was no public partici-
patton and the offerings of the floor
traders became scanter as the SEES
sion advanced and 1t was seen that
the attempt to put the market down
appreciably was a fruitless task.

SAYS SEIZURE
WAS UNLAWFUL
Appearance Filed by Leonard
Kicker, Defendant Declares
Police Made Seizure Before
Warrant Ialued

Warrant Issued.
Leonard Kicker, through his attor-
new, filed an appearance in the
superior court this morning in which
he declares that he was unlawfully
deprived by the police, of guam
tity Of liquor on April 30. He claims
that the liquor seized from him by
the police is being held on warrant
of seizure which did not exist at the
time of his arrest. He further claims
that the beer was his own private
property and that he had no inten-
ton of violating the law.
The first point made, that there
was no warrant issued for the
seizure until after 1t had been made,
may bring up a nice legal question.
When State Officer Terrill was in
Keokuk he made liquor seizures and
then covered up by obtaining war
rants afterwards. According to the
wording of the law a notice of con-
demnation against property seized
must be posted forty-eight hours after
the warrant is issued. Therefore in
order to condemn wet goods taken, It
was necessary to procure warrants
and these were usually obtained after
the liquor had been seized. The local
authorities have. followed this line Of
proceeding in several recent booze
seizure.
The legality of this will probably
be decided upon when the case Of the
state of Iowa VS.. certain Intoxicating
liquors and i. Kicker comes to trial
In Judge McNamara's court The
date for this has not been set yet.
]. Brown was given ten days In
