COURT HITS METHODS
OF DRY-LAW OFFICERS
Judge Hardison Thinks EsBootleg-
ging" Is Aided by Work Of Pro-
hibitiou Bureau,

II cannot think of a greater aid to
the successful operation Of bootleg
gers in Washington than the present
methods Of the officers Of the prohi-
bition bureau and tho manner in
which they make cases upon defec-
tive search warrants in disregard of
the law" said Judge Hardison in the
Police Court yesterday. "The sooner
these men are Invested Of the author
ity they so fagrantly abuse the bet
ter the enforcement of the national
prohibition act"
These remarks camo from the Judge
in throwing out a search warrant
submitted as evidence against Harvey
R. Chase, charged with illegal pos
session of whisky, then on trial. The
search warrant was defective, in that
Commissioner Macdonald, issuing it,
had failed to sign the aff1davit on
which the warrant was issued.
Late yesterday afternoon the jury
trying Chase on a charge Of having
made sale of whisky to an agent Of
the revenue department, in violation
Of the national prohibition law,
brought in a verdict of guilty. The
sentence will be imposed later. Judge
James Pugh represented the defend
ant. Assistant District Attorney
Frank J. Kelly prosecuted the case.

URGE RURAL CREDIT
LAWFOR FARMERS
Members of Congress From
Agricultural States to
Back Legislation.

Steps looking to the enactment of
of the farmers of the country were
taken yesterday by members of Con-
eress from agricultural states. en-
couraged by the statement Of Presi-
dent Harding that he proposed to 1.Be
such legislation on the opening of the
regular session in December.
Developments In Senate.
Developments at the outset centered
largely in the Senate and included in
PRODUCTION of a bill by Chairman Nor
ris of the agriculture committee for
creation of a government-capitali
products; an address in the Senate by
Senator Ladd. republican. North Da-
kota. warning against enactment O!
rural credit legislation based on the
federal reserve system, and confer
ence between eighteen senators from
committee Of the American National
Live Stock Association at which the
draft Of new credit bill was dis
cussed.
These developments. together with
statements by leaders, indicated that
the passage of rural credit legislation
would occupy foremost place on the
program of the agricultural bloc.
The Senate members of the bloc will
hold the first meeting of the session
next week, and at that time will en-
deavor to agree upon a program.
The bill presented by Senator Nor
ris for a farm products corporation
is similar to measure offered by the
agriculture committee chairman at
the last session. but which was sup
planted by legislation extending the
life of the War Finance Corporation
and Its powers in the furnishing of
agricultural credit until next June 80.
Senator Norris would have created
a corporation with a maximum capi-
tai subscribed by the government of
$100, 100000, and a directorate of three
members, the Secretary Of Agriculture

ALIEN PROPERTY
SUITS CUT TO 245
Daugherty Says All Clear
Claims Settled Without
Litigation.

A majority Of precedents establish
ed by the courts during the past year
in cases coming under the trading
with-the-enemy act have been favor
able to the government. Attorney
General Daugherty announced today.
A total of 245 ''litigated' cases. in
volving property seized during the
war by the alien property custodian.
were pending on October l, 1922. 1t
was announced. In addition to these
there were pending on october. l to-
tai Of COS cases classed as "non-liti-
gated" During the year October /.
1921. to October l. 1922. 63 litigated
and 2,S79 non-litigated cases were
disposed of. OF these last named,
1899 claims were allowed and 440
were disallowed.
Due Regard to Rights.
It has been the policy of the de-
partment, Mr.. Daugherty said. refer
ring to non-litigated cases, to return
property which clearly belongs to the
claimants upon receipt of convincing
litigation with substantial justice to
the claimant and the government and
with due regard to their respective
rights.
Where the claimant clearly comes
within a class which the trading with
the-enemy act recognizes as being en-
titled to the return of the property
held. then it is endeavored to pass
upon and return such property in
volved with the greatest possible ex-
pedition. On the other hand, II there
be doubt as to citizenship or owner
ship of the petitioner, then the matter
automatically becomes one for the
courts.
European Data SOUGHT.
The great majority Of the litigation
at present has to do with the defense
Of actions by which the litigants are
endeavoring to secure the return of
property by court action, they having
failed In most instances to secure the
property by executive action.
1t has been necessary for the At
torney General to send representa-
tives Of the department to Europe to
secure evidence from those familiar
with certain cases. says the report. In
the past year D. Q. Morrow. Frederick
u. Ingersoll. John Marshall and for
mer Judge Milton D. Purdy have
represented the government abroad.
