Farmers in Better Shape Than in Years


ATLANTA, Feb. 17.-Federal au-
thorities admit that the ruling in Sa-
vannah yesterday by United States
District Judge William H. arrett, on
the proper employment of search
warrant in making searches for con-
traband liquors may, if misconstrued
by the violators of the prohibition
act, increase the work of the federal
prohibition agents.
Judge Barrett's ruling, which coy
ers only the southern federal district
of the state, differs materially from a
ruling previously made oy Judge S.
II. Sibley, of the Northern district, in
which Judge Sibley held that, if a
federal officer has probable reason to
believe Or has knowledge that an
automobile on the highway contains
contraband liquor or liquors, such
federal officer or state officer, is
empowered to stop and search the
automobile without employing a
search warrant. If, however, there is
no foundation or ground for the
knowledge or reasonable belief that
such a car carries liquor search war
rant is necessary. 1t also was held
that a warrant will be necessary at
all times in making entry into a
building or residence.
Of this ruling the federal prohbi-
tion officers of Georgia have been
acting thus far in both districts and,
undoubtedly will continue to act in
the northern district of the state, in
which the greater part of the liquor
running has been going on.
Rulings which have been used as
guide from other states by federal
judges hold that, Immediately contra
band liquor is placed in an automo-
bile, the automobile itself becomes
contraband and is subject to the jur-
isdiction and seizure of the federal
authorities without warrant.
The heavy traffic in liquor of some
time ago from Florida across the
lower part of Georgia into the Middle
West, crossed that territory in the
southern district of Georgia, which
comes under the ruling of Judge Bar
rett, but it is learned that traffic had
practically been broken up by the
straight methods employed by the en-
forcement department which made
the expense, because cf relentless
seizures, SO heavy the traffic lc.a.Je
highly Improbable.
OF late the greatest trouble exper-
fenced by the enforcement officials
has been the liquor runners between
Atlanta and the mountain sections OF
! the state, and in that territory the
department is conrolled by he ruling

DENY DOOTLEGGERS
RIGHT Of INSURANCE
Companies Say Because Ot
"Moral Hazard" Involved
Policies Being Refused

PITTSBURG, Feb. 17.-While the
regularly constituted authorities are
experiencing some difficulty in locat-
ing wealthy botoieggers, important
life insurance interests say they are
finding them with comparative ease
and, because of the ''moral hazard"
involved, are refusing to insure their
lives.
Men who few years ago were
glad to carry policies covering a few
thousands, are now making applica-
tion for policies ranging from $780,
600 to 100000 and in some instances
in excess of the latter amount. Ur
less they are well known and have a
high business standing they are ve1y
carefully invetigated, and if there is
any suspicion as to the source OF
their incomes, they arc rejected, it
matters not how good a physical risi,
the examining physicians decide they
may be.
Within the past few weeks orc ap.
plicant who wanted policy Of $50
600 was rejected on the ground that
he was not good moral ka2a.d, @nd
a little later an applicant who "a'3l-
ed insurance to the amount Of $780,
600 was told he could not have ie.
Other applications from other boot
Ieggers have gone the same way tHey
say.

something worth while" Sid A. IL

r 0SEMARY and Roanoke Rap
8 Ids, North Carolina, reduced
the percentage of their population
affected by malaria from 49.8 to
less than one-tenth of one per
cent by getting rid of mosquitoes.
Samuel F. Patterson, head Of
the Rosemary and Roanoke cot
ton mills, largest producers OF
table damask in the world, found
in 1912 that half the people in his
community were infected with
malar;al germs. After arranging
for the mills to build a $1,000
hospital, he placed DR.. T. w. VI.
Long in charge and started him on
his campaign against malaria and
typhoid.
Four large swamps supplied
mos. Of the mosquitoes. The
parts of them which could be
drained without prohibitive ex-
pense we're drained. Three Public
Health Service experts from the
Canal Zone assisted. Cans con-
tanning crude oil, so arranged that
the oil spilled only a drop at :
time, were placed around the un-
drained pools. Th2 Aim of oil
which tbs cans kept on the @ater
provente3 the young mosquitoes,
~a2n in amphibian form just after
Matching, from getting to the sur
face to breathe. The result was
the elimination of mosquitoes,
and with them the malaria which
they carried from person to per-
son.
Dr.. Long also got rid Of typhoid

two towns, by going below bed

stalIing septic tanks for sewage
