MUST HAVE WARRANT
TO SEARCH HOMES
SAYS JUDGE LEWIS

Denver. May 7.-Entcrins a per-
sons home to search for liquors or
narcotics without Il search warrant is
disregarding the rights of American
citizenship. United States Judge Rob
crt ]. Lewis declared from the bench
today after Ycc Jim. n Chinese. had
been arraiSned on a charge OF vio-
lating the narcotic laws.
The prisoner was taken into Gus
tody by federal agents during a raid
in the Chinese quarter last month at
which time large amount OF mar
cotics was seized.
Certainly people have right to
protest demands of officers acting
without legal warrants said the
Judge. II have an unkindly feeling
against entering homes and opening
trunks without legal procedure. The
rights of American citizens and for
cigncrs within our bounds must GER
tainly he considered.
The court referred to searches for
LIQUOR and narcotics without proper
warrants as an exercise OF autocratic
power
In view OF the situation that gave
rise to the remarks. Judge Lewis lev
led n minimum fine OF SO on one
Chinese on one coVnt and $50 each
on two other Chinese on another
count under charges OF violating tho
drug act.
