RECOMMENDS WATcHMAN
Recommendation that a watchman
be maintained at the Greensboro cross
ing Is contained in the report Of DR.
S. Edgar Bond, cororer, on the acci
dent
The coroner's verdict was accidental
death. He dld not Dlamo the fenusyt
vania. After giving the account OF
the deaths substantially as they ap
peared in The Palladium, Coroner
Bond says:
"The crossing is doubly dangerous
because of the fact that buildings have
been erected close to the track, the
lumber company's building being on
the south side. There are other build
ings on the north Of the track and or
the east side of the road. These build
ings shut off the view from town and
from the country. The old freight de
pot also obstructs the view.
Dangerous Crossing.
T have marveled, on passing over
the crossing, why more people have
escaped death there. l insist that the
railroad company should maintain q
watchman there.
"If the accident had occurred on ar
ordinary summer day, it is likely thai
the half dozen men who usually loaf
on the north platform of the old
freight house, probably would have
been killed, because the automobile
was thrown down the platform and its
parts distributed everywhere along
the platform"

MICHIGAN LIQUOR ACT AMENDED
House Approves Changes In Wiley
Law-PriVaey of Home Upheld.

Lansing.-After hours of discussion
and of explanation of amendments TO
the Wiley liquor bill, the house read
back into the prohibition laws of Mich
igan, the equivalents of the Damon
act, which forbade possession. OF
liquor and which was declared by the
supreme court to have been nullifed
by the Wiley act itself
There was no particular opposition
to any of the amendments proposed
by Representative Lewis, author of
the amending bill. One of the out
standing features of the discussion and
the amendments themselves, was the
fact that the proponents of prohibit
ton made no attempt to alter the
search and seizure provision of the
Wiley act. This provision, contrary
to general supposition, in effect for
bids the search of a private house.
even with a search warrant, unless
there is evidence, sworn to before
court, that the residence is used as
public resort
One amendment provides that liquor
held unlawfully, it's containers and all
furniture and effects used in connec-
ton with it shall lose all elements of
the right of possession inherent in
property. This provision goes a long
way toward removing unlawfully held
liquor from the protection of such
laws as usually may be invoked in the
protection OF property.
Another important provision would
permit any law officer to arrest with
out warrant whenever any offense
against the prohibition law is commit
ted within his sight
Senator Hicks is the author of this
bill. 1t puts articles for the transport
alton of liquor in a class with dis
orderly houses and blind pigs and sab
jects them TO the Anon law, which
provides for their seizure and con-
demnation

The bill to continue the state con-
stabulary in existence has been adopt
ed by the house of representatives by
a vote of 70 to II. The vote does not
indicate it, but the bill passed only
after two days of hard battling among
mouse members, one fight coming In
committee of the whole and the other
when the bill was up for final pass
age.
The principal contention was over
the giving OF preference, in appoint
ing troopers, to veterans of the recent
war. The bill, as it came before the
house from the ways and means COM
mittee, had paragraph stating that
preference should be given to honor
ably discharged soldiers, sailors ana
marines and to veterans OF the con-
stabulary. An amendment was offered
in committee of the whole to give pre-
ference to veterans OF the war with
Germany. Friends of the pill deciar-
ed this was intended 10 discriminate
against men who had seen service IN
the present constabulary, but not IN
the war, and that the intention also
was to exclude any preference being
shown Spanish war veterans.
Another attempted amendment was
to limit the life of the constabulary to
two years. This was countered by
the bills supporters with the state
ment that the next legislature can dis
continue the constabulary, II 1t so
desires, by simply not appropriating
the money to continue it. Efforts to
cut down the pay of the commanding
officer and to reduce the number or
captains also failed The two.year
amendment came nearest to passage,
getting As votes to so against II.
Thorough organization of friends or
the bill was what put it through, but
half dozen roll calls were made nee
essary before they finally succeeded
The bill now has gone TO the senate,
