out Warrant.

Detective Felix Dolan raded Z.
J. Blooms room at the Hotel Fon-
tenelle Saturday night without a
warrant, flashed his revolver and
threatened to shoot while Mrs. Sadie
Bloom was confined to a sick bed,
according to testimony yesterday
in the hearing of Mr.. and Nus.
Bloom and Dick Doran, charged
with illegal possession of drugs, be-
fore United States Commissioners
r. ID. Nicely.
Mrs. Bloom and Doran were dis
charged, and Blooms case was con-
tinued until next Friday morning to
hear further argument of attorneys
on the point made by Ray Madden,
counsel for the defendants, that his
clients constitutional rights were
violated when the detective forced
an entrance to the room without a
warrant.

Nicely. 81 do not believe it is proper
for a city detective to violate the
law of the land and the rights of a
citizen in the discharge of what he
considers his duty"
One ounce of cocaine and one
ounce OF morphine were found in
Blooms room. Commissioner Nicely
was not certain on the point of as
to whether or not the officers dis
regard of the law in making the
search justified the possession of the
drugs. at may resolve itself into
the question of possession of a rea-
sonable amount" said the court
when he continued the case until fur
ther arguments are heard.
Came Here On Business.
Bloom testified to living in Min
neapolis He said he was in the
garage business and came to Omaha
to bay. some second hand automo-
biles. He admitted that he had the
dope habit and used from three to
five grains a day. He tdeclared he
purchased it from a negro, whose
name he did not know. Doran ad-
mitted having introduced Bloom to
the negro, whom he declared he
knew in-San Francisco.
Mrs. Bloom asserted that she new
err knew before her husband used
drugs. She said they were married
in 1911, and until she and Bloom
were arrested she did not know any
thing about his habits, as he was
away from home a great deal of the
time. The woman, who sat OPP
posite her husband, wept bitterly
throughout the hearing.

Asked if he knew where the negro
who sold the drugs to Mr.. Bloom

not know where the man could be

POSSIBILITIES
FOR BOULEVARD
Are UNEQUALED
So Declares Chicago Expert
After Going Over Route Of
Proposed Memorial High
way Along River.

The proposed memorial lboule-
yard should be the entering wedge
toward an ultimate city plan that
will make Omaha one of the great
cities of the country" was a state
ment by Andrew N. Rebori yester-
day after driving over the route OF
the river boulevard as planned by
the City Planning commission.
Mr.. Rebori has been identified
with important projects in Chicago,
his latest work being an extension
of North Michigan avenue. He was
impressed by the Typographical fea
lures along the river from Child's
Point on the south to a point north
of Florence.
Chicago has nothing that will
equal the possibilities opened up by
such an undertaking." he said.
Declared Splendid Opportunity.
with Omaha in comparative in
fancy. with the boundless possibili-
ties for expansion that its growth in
the past seem to justify for the fu-
ture. and the physical peculiarities
OF the topography that permit the
building of the road, the people
should realize at once the splendid
opportunity they possess"
He urged that Omaha should
make big plans for the future. This
is the age of big ideas and their ex-
ecution," he added THE scheme
for boulevard costing a million or
SO, as memorial, may astound the
people by its size today, but a few
years from now the expenditure of
that amount will be considered in
significant. Nothing should be too
costly to commemorate the work of
our soldiers.
Be sure and make your plans big,
make them so stupendous that the
people will gasp at first; then, later,
future generations will praise you
for your foresight. If your plans
are small now, the people of the
future will have to develop the city
for themselves and the work will
run into billions, while millions will
suffice at the present time"

Farmers Of Montana Drought Stricken
Face Crop Failure for Third Successive YearLeaguers
Urged to Aid

the seriousness of conditions in Mon
tana have not become generally
known. Fearful that land values
might be driven down and that immi-
grafton of farmers might be halted
by the drought conditions, the news
papers of the state have generally
sought to discount the seriousness.
Nevertheless, hundreds of farmers on
the Montana prairie are losing every
thing they possess as result Of the
conditions.
The Leader, knowing that League
members will do everything possible
to assist these stricken farmers of
Montana, has decided to seek help for
them in the Mississippi Valley states,
where the pasturage and forage con-
ditions are good. Readers of the
Leader who have pasturage which
they are willing to rent to the Mon
tana stock raisers are urged to send
their names to the Leader. These
will be printed in subsequent issues,
so that the Montana men may ship
their cattle to these places.
The Leader hopes that through this
action the farmers of Montana may be
able to salvage part of their possess
sions. The Mississippi Valley states,
notably Minnesota and Wisconsin,
have been very fortunate thus far this
year in the weather, and it is for these
more fortunate Leaguers to help their
brother Leaguers who are in less en-
viable positions. It is suggested that
any persons who have such land avail
able write to the Leader at once, as
every day is valuable in the work of
saving the Montana men, who are fac
ing ruin through the drought.

tion law, was granted new trial by
the Minnesota supreme court in a de-
cision recently handed down.
The opinion of the higher court held
that the trial judge had improperly
excluded evidence Of several wit
nesses, and went on to say that the
trial court "should not attempt to
limit the number of witnesses of a
party on the main controverted issue
or controlling fact of case, unless
it becomes apparent that there is a
purpose to trife with the admins
tration of justice"
The indictment charged that on
August 18, 1917, Randall made a
speech at Kenyon which contained an
alleged seditious statement.
The trial court limited the number
of Randall's witnesses to IL, although
the defendant had 81 prepared to tes-
tify regarding what he said at the
meeting in question. Randall also
was denied the right to repeat his
speech at the trial
The opinion, which was written by
Judge Andrew Holt, said in part:
There can be no doubt but that
what was said by the defendant dur
ing the meeting was the main and
vital issue in the case. That depended
upon the uncertainty and the limita
tions of the memories of his auditors.
The speeches were made seven months
before the indictment and eight be-
fore the trial. Probably none of the
witnesses anticipated until the return
of the Indictment ever being called
upon to recount what was said by any
one at the meeting. Necessarily their
recollection had become dimmed. The
witnesses for the state, with one ex-
ception, were prof essional men. De
fendant depended for the most part

complete depopulation. Drought in
this section of the state is so serious
that few farmers will have a yield
sufficient even to give them enough
seed to start another season, and
many of the farmers are leaving the
state, broken and discouraged.
Cattle on these Montana farms are
starving, to death because of the fail
ure of the forage crops. Lack of
SHOWS in the mountains last year have
caused the springs which have sup
piled water for irrigation to dry up,
and there is scarcely any hay or al
falfa in the state. The price for stock
i. food has risen tremendously, and even
at the prices that are charged there
is little available.
Also added to this condition is the
condition of the pasturage. The fields
are burned brown by the sun and alb
solute lack of moisture. Not only in
this section of the state, however, is
the condition so serious. It extends
all over the state, and almost every
Montana farmer is facing a failure,
as he did last year.
Last year the state came to the res
cue and furnished the seed for another
crop, but in many counties it will be
impossible to regain as much from
the soil as was put into it.
Because Of the policy pursued by
most of the newspapers of the state,

Randall, Lacquer, Granted New Trial
Minnesota Supreme Court Holds Rulings of Goodhue
County Judge Prejudical

upon farmers selected from the crowd.
The situation was such as to invite
the defendant to produce all available
testimony. He was charged with an
offense so nearly traitorous that a
rightful conviction would bring upon
him just and enduring shame. He
should be accorded full opportunity of
proving his innocence. He had an
swered that he had 27 witnesses.
"The ~ witnesses he was allowed to
use gave their testimony in one day;
another day would have sufficed to
have heard all. It certainly can not
be said that there was any attempt
to trife with the court or to impede
the administration Of justice, if one
defending against charge fraught
with such serious consequences as this
demanded another day be consumed in
hearing the witnesses he produced.
'The state was permitted to intro
duce evidence of remarks other than
those charged in the Indictment, and
properly SO. The defendant should,
therefore, have been allowed to state
all he said, if he desired to do so.
"It was from all that was said by
and to defendant that the jury were
to determine whether the natural and
reasonable effect of what he uttered
was to deter his auditors from enlist
ing or from rendering aid in the
prosecution of the war. The same
holds true in regard to an error in
striking out his testimony that he had
not said anything against President
Wilson or the government in his
speech.
'In view of our conclusion that the
limiting of the number of defendants
witnesses was so prejudicial to his
rights that new trial must be had,
we need not refer to other matters
assigned as error that are not likely
to again arise"
