Some OF the teeth of the Stanley
amendment. inserted in the anti-beer
bill by the Senate to penalize heavily
prohibition agents making searches and
seizures without warrants, were re-
moved by the House Judiciary Commit
tee to-day.
1t limited the amendment to searches
and seizures in private homes. making
no mention of automobiles, trucks. other
vehicles and places of business. all of
which would be included in the original
amendment The House substitute
penalties any agent for searching a
private dwelling without warrant and
provides that no warrant shall issue
unless the agent swears that The has
reason to believe that the dwelling is
used as place in which liquor is manu-
factured for sale or sold
The provision. it Is believed, would
put up q barrier against searching for
home brew outfits used to make bever-
ages for private consumption. and this
also may be changed.
The action of the committee may
cause more delay to the anti-beer bill.
as Senate forces back OF the StanleH
amendment are not expected to accept
it. The amended bill must now be ap-
proved by the House before it can be
sent to conference. Republican leader
Mondell, however. said the bill would
be enacted before the Congressional
recess.
The Stanley amendment declared that
the property or premises" could not
be searched without legal warrant.
Many drys believe that should test
case be carried to the Supreme Court
this amendment would be upheld in
every particular and that any search
and seizure made under the prohibition
law without warrant would be held IL
legal in the courts because of the run
damental right established in the Con-
stitution. The text OF the House sub
stitute follows:

The stranger arrested in Para

he gets loose he likely will be hail
ing from the Arkansas penitentiary
if lately developed charges against
the man prove true.
1t will be remembered, the char
acter was taken i'll tow by Officer
Schmicker Immediately following the
alarm given by j. M. Barrett that
he had been held up on Main street,
near Rosson's barn. Mr.. Barrett
was confronted by a stranger who
pointed gun in his face and told
him to hold up his hands. The

the night officer, who later ar
rested two characters at the depot.
The man who did the actual hold
up is said to have placed his gun
into the pockets of his pal and
made his getaway from the officer
as they we're enroute to the police
station. The pal was taken to the
county Jail and was this morning
fined $4,000 and costs.

of the arrest of the characters

TO face an examination upon those
counts. The accused was turned
over to the knobel official and was
taken there this morning where he
will stand trial on the charge OF
