Opposing Francis J. Hen
ey's Search of Offices and
Files of Swift Concerns
Attorney.
|LANDIS' WARRANT
VOID, NEW RULING

Chicago, March 9.-The United
States circuit court Of appeals today
quashed the search warrant issued
by Judge Lands to permit examina
ton of the letter files in the Office OF
Henry Veeder, counsel for Swift ano
company, by the government! The de
cision was without bar to further
proceedings"
The search warrant was sworn out
by Francis J. Heney, attorney for the
Federal Trade Commission which is
conducting a sweeping investigation
of the packing industry.
HENEY's ERRORS COSTLY
It was said that the reversal was
based on technical errors III certain
Of the Heney afidavits.
The decision intimates that Mr..
Heney was on a Fishing expedition"
in the Veeder vaults, whereas the
court finds that under the constitution
and the statute the specific papers
wanted must be asked for and the Pc
titioner under oath must furnish con-
crete facts-not suspicious, beliefs
or surmises tend to establish
the necessary legal conclusion in the
mind of the issuing judge.
NO BAR TO INQUIRY
1--WE thoroughly agree with the
learned district Judge Iandis) that
the shield of the constitution does not
protect property that has been used in
the commission of felony and that
such outlaw property is subject to
seizure by search warrant under this
statute But we find that the consti-
tuition and the statute forbid a search
warrant unless the issuing magistrate
shall first draw the necessary legal
conclusion from facts duly presented
to him under oath of the accuser,"
reads the opinion. And in the record
now before us we find no presenta-
ton Of facts.
Needless to say. the present judg-
ment is not a bar to further proceed
ings. Reversed, with direction to
quash the search warrant

INFORMATION COMMITTEE

Washington, D. c., March 9.-Names
of the next of kin and emergency ad-
dresses of soldiers whose names ap-
pear on the casualty lists OF the
American forces in France will be
withheld in the future as the result
of war department order published
today.
The announcement explained that
the step had been urgently recon-
mended by General Pershing and the
purpose of the order, was to keep
valuable information from the enemy.
Department officials disclairned any
intention of suppressing reports of
heavy casualties abroad and said that
lists of the dead and wounded with
out addresses will be sent to the COM
mittee on public information for dis
tribution as usual
However, the committee announced
that it would discontinue issuing the
lists, taking the position that names
of men killed or wounded would be
worthless to newspapers unless the
addresses were given.
The committee issued a notice to
the press that hereafter all informa-
ton regarding casualties must be OBJ
tanned from the war department.
The first of the eXpurgated casual
ty lists was issued by the war depart
ment today 1t shows First Lieuten-
ant Louis J. Jordon killed in action
and First Lieut.. John H. Greene
slightly wounded.
The names Of thirty-six privates are
on the, list but, according to the new
custom, without home addresses or
next of kin. 1t shows two killed in
action; eight died of diseases; five
severely wounded, nineteen wounded
slightly and two killed in accident, one
of them an airplane casualty.
