the Measure,
tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 20.-The con-
ference report on the anti-beer
bill, definitely agreed on today and
presented to .he senate, exempts a
mans home from search without
warrant obtained in due course of
law but requires no warrant to
search other property provided an
officer acts without malice and
has reasonable cause to suspect
the presence of liquor.
Along with the presentation of
the report word reached the senate
that prohibition leaders of the
house had declared there would be
no recess of congress- until the
measure had been finally enacted.
Senate leaders. on the other hand,
announced that it was hopeless to
expect senate acceptance, in view
of the rejection by the conferees of
the Stanley amendment, passed
unanimously and designed to pro-
tect the home and other property
from indiseriminate scare h,
through imposition of heavy PEN
alties.'

tive Dyer, republican, Missouri
failed to sign the report. II was
approved, however, by Senators
Sterling and Nelson. republicans,
and Representative Volstead. re-
publican, and Summers. Texas,

The only point at issue in finaf
deliberations of the managers was
the searching provision. In reach
ing a compromise both the senate
ard house amendments on the sub
ject were discarded. In their
place the conferees adopted the
following section:
Section six. That any officers,
agents or employe of the United
States engaged in the enforcement
of this act or the national prohibi-
ton act. or any other law of the
United States who shall search any

damage was done to the farm

CLAIMS AGAINST
SHIPPING BOARD
TOTAL BIC sum
Harding Urges Close Coop
GRAFTON Between Congress
and the Administration to
Reduce the Losses.
tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, Aug. 20.--The CLOS
est corporation between congress
and the administration in an Ell
fort to bring shipping board losses
down to a minimum, was urged TO-
day by President Harding in a let
ter to Senator Jones, republican,
wa shington, read to the senate
during consideration of a bill car
rying s48, 100000 for the boards
activities. The president said there
had been unspeakable losses and
unutterable wastes, which must pe
charged to the war emergency.
Chairman Lasker's effort TO get
big men to aid in putting the
board on its feet was approved oy
the president, who said If they
could end operating losses their
salaries would be more than 1usu-
fled.
At the same time there was pre-
sented a letter from Chairman
I,asker, saying that sooner or later
congress- would be called upon 10
appropriate s300,00O,0O0 in out
standing claims, inherited from
the former administration.
THE presidents letter, giving his
views at length on the general
situation follows; s.
IL could not fail to note the as
expressed in botn
house and senate over the very un-
condition Of the affairs
of the shipping board and the re-
hIctance of congress to make ap-
for the continued ac-
tiyities of the board without put
ting specific restraints upon the
boards activities in employing
agents of relief.
"From your position, you are
probably as familiar with the ar
fairs of the board as / am and
hone YOU will make 1t a point TO
law the exact but unpleasant truth
before your colleagues.
"There are approximately $2oos-
900, 900 in claims against the snip,
ping board. Nobusiness man would
venture upon the settlement Oh
these claims without highly capa-
ble legal representatives The stag
gering losses In operation can only
be cured BY board of operators
whose members know something
the business. These
men could not be secured without
giving up private pursuits which
are vastly more profitable than
the average administration salary
under the government, and Chair
man LaslSer has proceeded with
nv hearty approval in the ac-
ouirement of men equal to this
task. II their knowledge of the
business will enable us to put an
and to operating losses. as we very
much hope to do, their acquire
ments or governmental service will
be justified hundred fold"
