JUDGES AT VARIANCE
OVER LIQUOR LAWS
Two Federal Courts Give Opposite
Decisions on Right to Search
Suspected Autos.
BY the Associated Press.

Dy the Associated PreSs.
LOUISVILLE, April S.-Action Of
Federal Judge A. NJ. ]. Cochran at
Covington yesterday in holding fed
eral prohibition officers were permit
ted to search an Automobile without
the authority of a search warrant,
where reasonable belief that the law
was being violated existed, was in
direct contrast to the recent ruling
here by Federal Judge Walter Evans,
which held that prohibition agents
must obtain search warrants in order
to stop and search automobiles
Considerable discussion was aroused
by Judge Evans ruling. P. Green
Miller, chief enforcement officer for
Kentucky and Tennessee, was quoted
by Louisville newspaper as having
said he would withdraw his men from
the western portion of Kentucky, the
area affected by Judge Evans opinion
Since then newspapers here have
quoted various officials as saying that
transportation of liquor in violation
of the law had increased In this sec
tion, and that a number Of alleged
master minds of Illegal rum runners,
who formerly had operated at other
points, were congregating In this city.
In connection with the possibility of
an appeal being taken from the rul-
ing Of Judge Evans. officials here con-
cerned with enforcement of the fed
eral prohibition law have intimated
that, inasmuch as the question at is
sue permits Of nationwide applica-
tion and, according to. press reports,
already has been raised in other
headquarters at Washington
will move to bring the matter before
the Supreme Court for an opinion.

consideration of plans for entertain
ing the national convention of the
Ancient. Arabic Order Of Mobiles of
the Mystic Shrine here June "a,
inclusive, 1924.
The meeting is expected to over
shadow in size and significance any
similar event held in Kansas City, If
not in the country. Fully $4,000
Shriners are expected to attend, and
1t is believed 100000 visitors will
come to this city, this estimate being
based on Kansas City's central loca-
tipn and the possibility that this will
be the last national conclave Of the
Shrine.
To Spend $500. 900. y
1t is estimated $500, 900 will be re-
quired to finance the affair, $780,
900 of which already has been un-
derwritten by. the chamber of com.

900 from the outside.
Russell F.. Griener, president of the

the campaign. Last years conclave
in San Francisco cost upward of
100000, he said, part of which was
