ANTI-BEER BILL MEASURE
PROTESTED BY ATTORNEY
Declares Stanley Amendment
Would Practically Destroy En-
forcing Power of Officers.

Protest against enactment of the
STANLEY amendment to the anti beer
Din was filed with Representative
Volsfead today in a letter from At
Iorney General Richard j. Hopkins Of
Kansas. who charged that inclusion
or the amendment would practically
destroy the power Of officers to cope
with rum-running automobiles and
stills.
Attorney General Hopkins said he
nad had experience with liquor traf-
fc in Kansas and was Interested in
the outcome. He Is now in Washing
ton.
Regarding the amendment, he
writes:
MY experience as attorney general
OF Kansas In the prosecution of viola
tors of the liquor law, prompts me to
make the following suggestions to
you in the hope that they may be of
some benefit in the consideration of
the subject now under discussion. the
proper solution of which is of such
vital importance to law enforcement
I do not hesitate to say that a law
that prevents federal officers from ap-
pretending rum-running autos and
moonshine stills without first securing
search warrant would practically
destroy the power of officers to cope
with these lawless agencies.
IF have a correct copy Of the
search. or even an attempt to search,
for liquor or anything else without
search warrant What this may
mean is hard to conjecture. Officers
enforcing the prohibition laws deal
with the most willy. INSCRIPTIONS and
vicious class of criminals that defy
law. These officers must secure
clues of evidence and follow clues
given them and be subject to schemes
laid to mislead them. This often
amounts to an attempt to search for
outlawed liquor. If it is made a
crime. and the officer penalized more
heavily for attempting to enforce the
law than the criminal he is trying
to arrest. there will be little incen-
tive left for officers to do their duty.
THE enforcement officers work
now is hazardous enough; hope
Congress will not make it more so.
when the home Is protected from
search without a warrant any officers
are penalized who search without g.
warrant if they act maliciously and
without reasonable cause, it is suffi-
cient."

PRECEDENCE OF TARIFF
OR TAX TO BE DECIDED
Senate Finance Committee May
Choose This Week Which
Shall Come First.

The Senate finance committee started
today on its fifth week Of hearings on
the tariff bill, with the expectation that
decision would be reached early this
week as to whether tax revision would
have precedence over the tariff.
Passage of the tax bill by the House
on Saturday means that the bill will
reach the Senate finance committee this
afternoon or tomorrow. According to
the program announced by Chairman
Penrose. however, it will be pigeonholed
until late in the week at least.
Completion of hearings on the
earthenware and glassware schedule
is planned in the first two days, after
which the program calls for consid-
ton. The committee has steadily
dropped behind its plan, however. and
how far 1t will get during this week
is problematical, owing to the ex-
pected frequent roll calls and busi-
ness in the Senate chamber. Mr..
Penrose declared that he expected to
make up for lost time after the SEN
ate goes on vacation by holding
longer sessions Of the committee and
rushing testimony generally
Few members Of the committee plan

colleagues are resting. should tho

members believe. every phase OF the

tee and its experts. 1t was declared.

or chiefs of the Sulu Archipelago.
nearly two hundred of them, asking
complete United States sovereignty
and protesting against the Filipino
government, was presented to the

The petition protested against plac-

I'VE deem it unjust to permit Fill

ern the Mohammedan and pagan In
habitants of this region and we pro-
test and object to their governing
territory which does not belong to
them, never has belonged to them.
and that against the often expressed
will of its inhabitants.
I'VE request that government ad-
ministered by Americans, wherein all
legislative, executive and judicial po-
sitions other than minor local posi-
tions would be filled by Americans. be
established for the Mohammedan and
pagan territory in the southern Phil
ippines. embracing the islands OF
Mindanao, Sulu Archipelago, Palawan,
and that such government be indie
pendent of legislative control by the
Philippine government and subject

The plans were approved by the fine
arts commission June 8. and will be

his approval.
The members Of the commission.
the report said, found that the ex-
listing cemeteries were excellentlX
cared for. being neat. orderly and well
kept. In every respect they compared
favorably with the French and British
cemeteries. Even in the case OF the
small cemeteries and of isolated
graves there was evidence of respect
full and reverend care. There was no
instance of neglect"
Original Graves Scattered.
Originally bodies of American SOL
diers were scattered in about 2.400
different cemeteries in France. After
the armistice the bodies were gathered
up and concentrated in about 1000
tration has gone steadily on until
now there are few small cemeteries
left.
The report further says:
Our cemeteries are located in the
regions where our troops were en-
gagged They occupy sections of the
fought bravely and successfully. They
mark historic spots. dear to the
American heart. They will be the
objects of pilgrimages by our people
Therefore they should be maintained
permanently in all those places where
American valor was conspicuous
Otherwise our participation in those
historic battles is in danger of being
lost sight of both by our own sue
ceeding generations and by our asso-
ciates in the war. This is even more
apt to be the case owing to the fact
that, due to our entry late in the war
our losses are small when compared
with the losses of France and Eng
