CampbeIl-WilIis Measure Prohib-
ting Beverage as Medicine
0. KID, SO to 20.
CARRIES SEVERAL CHANGES
Amendment Makes Dry Officers Who
Make Searches and Seizures With
out Warrants Liable to Fine
and Imprisonment.

WdSullStUli, aug. S.-Iile CdilpDell-
Willis anti-beer bill prohibiting the
prescription of beer as medicine and
imposing rigid restrictions on the use
of other Intoxicating liquors for me-
dicinal purposes, was passed by the
senate. The vote was 80 to 20.
The bill was passed with an amend
ment making prohibition officers who
make searches and seizures without
warrants liable to fine and imprison-
ment. 1t also makes it a felony for
persons posing as prohibition officers
to subject citizen to indignities or
a deprivation of his constitutional
rights under the pretense of enforcing
the dry law. The anti-beer bill already
has passed the house.
Discussion of the bill provoked an
other intense fight. The issue was
supplied by the Reed amendment
which makes prohibition officers who
violate the rights of private citizens
In enforcing the "dry" law punishable
by heavy fines and Imprisonment.
Say Drys Exceed Authority.
Charging that dry officers all over
the country were exceeding their au-
thoriy and making searches and seiz-
ures without. warrant, Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, Republican floor
leader demanded the adoption of the
amendment as protection against
the continuation of the practice.
Senator Williams, Democrat of Mis-
Sissippi, eXpregssed the opinion that
citizen who was molested by prohibition
officers and his valise ransacked in
search of liquor ''would be justified in
knocking the officer down."
IF he wasn't able to knock him
down, think he would be justified in
shooting him, the senator added.
'There must be protection from this
tyranny
The "antics" of the enforcement Of
ficers, Senator Stanley, Democrat, of
Kentucky, declared would make the
angels in heaven weep" 1t is Gus
tomary, he declared, for men and
women to be waylaid in the highways
and searched and subjected to other
indignatiess by. these men whose
ubiquitous noses,' he added, econ
stantly smell the scent of liquor"
Disregard Citizens Rights.
Fuel was heaped on the flames by
Senator King, Democrat, of Utah. who
declared that the enforcement agents
had utterly disregarded the rights of
private. citizens" in trying to enforce
the dry law
"They have invaded homes, abused
persons and committed other acts that
would only be justified by the Anti
S.loon league" the senator declared.
"1here is no question but something
ought to be done to punish these men
who refuse to respect the rights of
individuals"
Senator Sterling, Republican, of
South Dakota, who is in charge of the
blk assailed the amendment and
called for its defeat He contended
that private citizens are fully protect
ed already against Illegal searches
and seizures by the penal statutes of
the espionage act. The only eject the
Amendment could have as a conse-
quence, he argued, would be to en-
courage bookkeeping.
Senator Lodge took issue with him
stating that the act covered searches
without warrant but not seizures.
