COURT DECISION WILL GREATLY EMBARRASS POLICE DEPARTMENTS
It Is Held Officers Cannot Make Legal Arrest on Oral Informa-
 ton and Without Warrant

Montgomery, January 15.-(Special) In a decision which will furnish a heavy problem to every police depart ment of Alabama, the court of appeals Tuesday afternoon ruled that a city policeman cannot make an arrest the oral complaint of a citizen when the offense charged was not committed in the presence of the policeman, and a warrant must be obtained from the proper judicial officer before such an arrest may be made. This will be a great hindrance in the enforcement or city laws in Alabama, because an officer cannot make an arrest immediately after an offense has been committed if he did not see it, even though there be a per- son who is ready and willing to swear in court that the offense was com rnitted.
 Under the decision, a policeman could not arrest d man on a charge of bur glary even if he were called to the home of a citizen and were to find the burglar staring into q pistol held by the man who had called the policeman for aid. The policeman would have no authority because he did not see the offense com mtted and the citizen had not obtained warrant as required by what the court construed to be the law.
 The dispute came up in a case from Birmingham, in which Thomas McWil- son who had been arA eSted for trespa ss, obtained judgment for $19 against J. Turner Rhodes, on the ground that Rhodes did not abide by the law in ar resting McWilson on an oral charge preferred by a citizen. who could pre- sent no warrant. It is of such import . ance that the supreme court will be asked to review the findings.

CREATION OF NEW CABINET POSITION
 NOW ABANDONED
Senate Military Committee Will Insist, However, on One Man Control of
 War Purchases

Washing ton, January 15.-Legisla- tion to be pressed by the Senate mil itary committee for one-man control of war supplies probably will pro- vide for an administrator with broad powers under the President, instead of creating the new department and cabinet officer to which President Wilson and Secretary Baker object Chairman Chamberlain and other mem- bers of the committee indicated to- night that the Chamb erlain bill pro. posing a secretary of munitions would be so amended before it reached the Senate for consideration.
 The committee, which plans after tomorrow session to suspend it's in- vestigation of army war preparations temporarily to give attention to legis- lation, heard today Waiter Sf Clifford, director of the council of national de- fense, who approved the plan for cen tralization in an individuad under the President of authority to direct in- dustria1 coordination and government war purchasing as outlined yesterday by Daniel Willard, chairman, and Ser nard M Barusha of the war industries board. Mr. Clifford like MT. Willard, said the war department reorganiza- tion ordered by Secretary Baker is de- fective in that it failed to place nlu nitions authority in one person and. also relies upon voluntary effort He also agreed with Willard and Baruch in contending against making the mu- nitions director or administrator a cabinet officer.
 Work of the civilian advisory bodies was stanchly defended by Clifford, who said they had saved the government several billions of dollars in supply contracts.
 Before suspending it's inquiry to- morrow, the committee will hear a statement by Waddill Catchings of New York, representing the United States Chamber of Commerce. It will then begin consideration of the Cham berlain bill and other legislation, in- cluding army bills submitted by the war department for the registration of men becoming of age since the first draft registration was authorized and making other important changes in the draft law.
 House republicans met in caucus to- night to consider the proposals for changes in the governments war or ganization.

LAW REACHES
LIBERTY BOND
PRICE CUTTERS

Cleveland, O.-From the course that
legal events are taking, the only way
that will be left to make money out
of Liberty Bonds before long will be
to buy them at the time they are is
sued, keep them and get interest on
them, and then maybe sell them at a
premium after the war.
Various pawn brokers, fraudulent
stock statesmen, and other groups of
sharpers, who have believed that they
could work 1t some other way, are find
ing out that Uncle Sam won't let them.
The arrest of Isadore Gantz, a
pawn broker of Farrell, Pa, was
blow to all of those traders in bonds
who believed that they could keep
within the law and still buy the bonds
so cheaply that there would be good
profit in them. He advertised that he
would buy bonds, and when Liberty
Loan worker visited him with a fifty
dollar bond which he assumed an in
terest in selling, he offered him forty
dollars for It.
