NEW RAILWAY PROPOSED
FOR SOUTHERN EUROPE
q. S. Official Believes Road Would
Help Solve Political and
Economic Questions.

NEW YORK. October 6.-Plans for a
railroad from the interior of Jugo-
slavia to the Bay of Cattaro, giving
the kingdom of Serbs. Croats and
Slovenes an outlet to the Adriatic sea,
has been under consideration by the
interallied railroad commission to the
Balkans. Col Clarence S. Coe, one of
the American representatives on the
commission. who returned here today
on the steamship Argentina from
Trieste, said it was hoped COMPLETION
of the railroad would do much to
solve political and economic problems
in southern Europe.
The projected railroad, 800 kilo-
meters in length, constitutes a great
engineering problem. Col. Coe said. as
it would be necessary to tunnel under
the Dinaric Alps Several years would
be necessary to complete the under
taking. Many banking firms, including
a large American financial institution,
have Investigated the project. he said.

MUST HAVE AUTHORITY.
Right of Officers to Search Premises
Without Warrant Denied,

FRANKFORT, KY, October g.
Right of peace officers to search pri-
vate premises or seize personal prop
erty without a search warrant was
denied in an opinion handed down
yesterday by the Kentucky court of
appeals.
The case was the outgrowth of an
effort, the record shows, to enforce
prohibition laws.
A citizen whose home was searched
by q sheriff without a warrant APP
pealed to the higher court when the
officer took from his premises a guam
tity of liquor. The court decided that
search and seizure under such cir
cumstances was unlawful and ordered
the liquor returned.

ion said:
h ..It is better that guilty individual
should escape punishment than that a
court of justice should put aside a
vital fundamental principle"

URGE TITLE CUT
FOR i. S. CLERKS

Less than 1000 titles Of positions in
the initial classification of the civil
service in the District is proposed in
suggested redraft of the reclassif1.
cation bill made as an independent
study for the National Federation OF
Federal Employees. The reclassifica.
ton commission has proposed 1.7OO
titles or grades.
THE number of grades and titles
shall be as small as possible" de-
clares the proposed redraft of the bill
which says that the commissions hill
would provide little Improvement. if
any. over the present 1000 pay roll
titles.
1000 Grades Are Ample.
'On this basis probably $500 grades
would be required for the entire sery-
ice. We believe that the entire sery-
ice could be covered in the initial
classification with less than 1000
grades" says the proposal.
Chairman Lehlbach of the House
civil service and retrenchment COM
mittee is studying the proposed re-
that he will be in any way bound by
it. but in all likelihood will draw up
another bill of his own.
AS a criticism of the bill of the re-
classification commission, however.
the proposals are of interest to the
government workers and agencies
working toward reclassificationl legis-
lation.
TerminolOgy Called "LoOse.-
1.-The reclassification commission has
adopted a loose terminology," de-
clares the brief. MANY positions are

"The separate existence of the 100
grades proposed by the commission
would necessitate an immense amount
of unn aceSSary labor on the part of

over personnel, and would actually
bar rath-r than facilitate transfers
and other opportunities.
