SEARCH FLORIDA
FOREST FOR NAVAL
BALLOON, MISSING
Observer Says Winds Direc-
ton Favored Landing There
Instead of at Sea.

PENSACOLA, Fla. March 26.-On
the theory advanced by Lieut.. w. f..
Reed, instructor in meteorology at
the naval station here. that the naval
balloon missing since 1t left here
Tuesday evening with five men
aboard could not have drifted TO sea
in the face OF southerly winds pre-
vailing where it was last reported. a
naval dirigible with two days sup
plies and a double crew aboard left
here early to-day to search the for
ests Of West Florida.
Meantime seaplanes and naval ves-
sells continued their search of the
coast and in some instances ven
tured far 70 sea in an effort to find
a trace of the balloon or its occupants.
Lieut.. Reed believes that the crew
Of the drifting bag would have cut
away the basket TO prevent II drop
ping into the gulf and would have
taken refuge in the rigging. A carrier
pigeon which arrived here with a
message from the aeronauts stated
that the balloon was 20 miles at sea
off st. Andrews Bay Wednesday
night and that the bag was sinking
and then abou, 100 feet above the
water.
II the basket had been cut away,
Lieut. Reed said, the bag would have

vailing winds would have blown II
inland, He added that the bag, II It
reached land, might have come in
contact with a tree on descending,
causing injury to the men, or that
they might have been brushed from

SEIZED LIQUORS

RAIDS ARE HALTED
Old Law Under Which Hooch
Was Taken Nullified by Vol
stead Act, Says Court.
VALUED AT 100000.
Decision Likely to Have Far
Reaching Effect Over
Whole Country.

At least 100000 worth of liquor
confiscated in New York CITY by Pro-
hibltlon AGENTS and huge quantities
seized in other parts of tthe country
will have to be returned to the own
ers under a new ruling by the Fourth
United States Circuit Court Of APP
peals, say lawyers who to-day are
taking steps to compel immediate
restoration. In addition, it is expected
many convictions and prison SEN
tences will be upset.
The decision caused CONSERVATION
az Prohibition headquarters and in
the offices OF the United States At
torney. One of the FIRST effects was
the calling OF Of what was intended
to be a 100000 seizure of wine here
this afternoon. Prohibition agents
visited the Federal Building this
morning 20 get consent or a search
warrant for the seizure, but were
halted in their plans on advice OF
Assistant United States Attorneys
Peattie and Reynolds.
The first order under the new ruling
was signed yesterday by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock for
the return OF about $4,000 worth OF
whiskey seized at the warehouse of
Peter Frantz e. Co, No. 1870 West
Third Street.
The Circuit Court Of Appeals de-
cision, handed down on March 10,
holds that the passage OF the Vol
stead act nullified and repealed the
old Internal Revenue statute, under
which many OF the largest liquor
seizures here and throughout the
country have been made in the last
year. Lawyers and others interested
in the liquor question refused TO
make any guess on the DECISIONS eff

New York led the country in seizures
and value OF the liquors that must be
restored.
The old Internal Revenue statute,
enacted in 1868. provided that II a
distiller, rectiher or wholesale liquor
dealer failed to keep a record OF every
sale or purchase his entire stock was
subject to confiscation. Under the
Volstead act, only the liquor directly
concerned In the violation of the law

would be made to apprehend them at

There will be no joke about this

proceeded carefully, made sure OF
every legal detail and we will not
miss our mark-which is penitentiary
sentences for the men who are found
guilty"
Mr. Grove refused TO say when the
men might be brought TO trial but
indicated that the trial would not
start Immediately.
When the proceedings against the
seven players were dropped Mr.,
( Grove said that the first investiga-
