The Fourth Amendment.
1t Finds a Weakened Echo In the
Civil Rights Law,

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: II Il
true, as you say in your editorial arti-
Gle. that there Is no counterpart OF the
Fourth Amendment In tho New Yori;
State Constitution.
It Is not true. however. az Is by an
ference stated. that tho citizen Is lin.
tied in his protection against unrcason-
able searches and seizures to the code
provisions relative to the manner OF
issuing search warrants
Section OF the civil rights laws Il.
1909. Ch. 14) provides az follows:
The rights OF tho people to be secure.
In their persons. houses. papers and ef-
fects. against unreasonable searches and
seizures, ought not to be violated. and
no warrants can issue but upon probable
cause supported by oath or affirmation.
and particularly describing the place TO
be searched, and the persons or things
to be seized.
II will be noted that this section Is
identical with the Fourth Amendment
with the exception that instead Of ought
not to be violated" the Federal Consti-
tuition uses the words shall not be vio-
lated"
This has been the statute law OF New
York since 1928. HENRY X. DAVIS

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: Many

year for the inmates OF CLIFTON Prison.
and as 1929 will soon be here ! hope
they will bear In mind the recurrent
need for now ones. Books and maga-
zines have been received from various
sources. both English and italian. and
the help rendered us In this manner has
been Invaluable. Many have derived
real benent from the reading matter
sent US and the enjoyment given many
has been great.
We muyt continuously replace the
wornout books and magazines. and It Is
therefore hoped that our friends will
continue TO remember Us IN the months
to come. We have tried TO acknowledge
receipt Of all the packages received. but
II eny have not been acknowledged be-
cause Of lack Of the senders name /
hope this will serve as an acknowledg-
ment and evidence Of our appreciation.
I desire to send the seasons greetings
to those who have been enlisted In this
good work through your paper.

Miners Hunting Deer.
Instead OF Digging Anthracite They
Enjoy Themselves in the Woods,

To THE New YoRK HERALD: Ths fol-
lowing quotation from the Stcndard
Sentinel OF Hasleton. Pa, may be Of iil-
terest to residents OF New York who are
shivering as result OF tho anthracite
shortage. Their discomfort may in
some measure be moderated by the
thought that the anthracite miners o.
Hazleton are enjoying the deer hunting
season:
Miners OF the North Side are deeply
aroused at the stand OF officials Of the
Jeddo-Highland Coal Company. Accord.
ing to the stories told, some Of tho bosses
at the North Side mines complained to
the men regarding the large number
who have remained away from the
mines for the deer hunting season.
AS 4 result of statements that ser
vices OF the men going hunting woulG
be dispensed with there has been a re
volt and many OF the mine workers
have gone into the woods and will re.
main away from work fdy the re.
mainder OF the deer hunting season.

Poland's President Assassinateda

Iuaugurated amid scenes OF con-
fusion and rioting last Sunday at
Warsaw, formally intrusted with su-
preme executive power by Marshal
PLsupsKI on Thursday, assassinated
on Saturday-that Is the brief on
cial record OF the first President Of
the Polish Republic, GABRIEL NAEUIo-

the program of economic reforms
which he would announce.
The selection OF NARUTowroz as

TO the Polish people He made a
brilliant record in this Office under
trying circumstances. The outside
world considered this fact an augury
for the success of his administration.
In Poland's struggle TO build up n
foreign trade and to improve its In
tornal relations the service of man
familiar with foreign diplomats and
economic affairs would have been Of
great va1ue to the country.
By the death of NARUTowIcz Poland
lost a man who could have served
the country with honor and distinc-
tion. His assassination constitutes
a POLITICAL crime which may render
even more difficult than 1t is at pres
ent the upbuilding OF the Polish
Republic.

Good Care for Sick Veterans.

The Government Is able to an
nounce that 1t has provided facili-
ties to care for every veteran Of the
war suffering from physical or men,
tai infirmity due to his service. with
the colors. There are 5000 hospi-
tai beds for which application has
not been made.
When the Governments plans for
new hospitals are carried out there
will be accommodations for twice as
many patients as are expected to
seek treatment. This means that
hospitals not up TO the mark in stu
ation and construction can then be
abandoned, that the wishes Of pa
tients and their friends may be con-
suited as to the institution in which
the afflicted men shall be treated,
and that physicians, surgeons and
nurses will have every modern ap-
pliance for their work.
To develop and construct hospi-
tai system sufficient to serve the vet
erans has been a hard job. 1t has
taken four years to get 1t well un-
der way. But the American people
want the men who in the nations
service were wounded. shell shocked
or stricken with disease to receive
the best treatment humanity and
science can provide, and they have
had Congress put up the money.
Now they see realization OF their
ambition approaching.

Is anxious 10 spare his readers one
Of the charms OF listening to a Wagner
opera Is the recognition OF the distinc-
tive feature Of Wagnerinn music.
The help that the musical enthusias st
gets from the New Yorl, critic would not
take him far In seorch for lett motif.
On the contrary. the review OF many
operas is expressed In vein of per-
sidaee and banter, or much alluslon
rs made to some physical characteristic
OF a serious and revcrent artist. Surely
the 5udicious may grieve at much they
read. and one may hope shat artistic
reputation does not depend on Now York
critics. IL 30 It Is indeed a bubble.
Criticism by reminiscence Is most irri-
tating. To listen TO @ rendition OF an
opera which IN our innocence we con-
sider impeccable and to be coolly told
the morning after that the performance
was not comparable TO something done
generation ago makes one wonder IL
things arc what they seem.
II may be quito true that the artists
OF to-day may be srtistically smaller
than those OF the palmiest day Of opera.
but what is tho uso Of rubbing II In?
We have to work with such tools as
come to hand, whether II be opera or
roadmaking. IL Scorr WILSON.
