JUDGE ALLING RULES
 ON SEARCH WARRANTS
Must Be Used in 30 Days, He Instructs the
 Police

All search warrants shall be used are issued. and If they are not used, they shall be returned to the clerk of the police court 30 days after the date of their issuance, was an order issued to the police and prosecuting attorney In police court this morning by Judge Benjamin w. filling. Judge filling called the police and | prosecutor to task for their methods in using search warrants in the past and for failure to make returns on number of the war rants.
 The discussion of search warrants was brought up by the evidence in the case against Mrs. Stanislaus kopecz of 14O Grove street, whose home was raided by the police on a warrant about month old
 Judge filling said that he had given orders to the chief of police and the prosecutor that warrants i should not be used for purposes of search after Is days. but that this order had been entirely disregarded. He said that If this order was no, needed in the future, there was a question whether the cases brought before the court on old warrants would be heard.
 During a recess of the court scs- sion, Judge filling had a conference with Chief William C. Hart on the subject, and when the court was called to order again, he renewed the discussion of the subject. He said that search warrants are issued when the prosecutor sWears that he has positive knowledge that liquor has been sold in a place within 30 Gays, and this being the case, they should be served and a search made or the premises within a reasonable time. He said there was a oues- ton as to what length of time was reasonable, and that after conferring with Chief Hart and learning of certain conditions the police are confronted with, he would set a limit of 30 days.
 As soon as d warrant has been used, the judge said that it shall be returned 10 the clerk of the court. Tor there are certain conditions under which, If a warrant is used the police are liable to trespass on private property.
 In the case of Mrs Kopecz, Judge William r. Mangan, who appeared for her. attacked the testimony of the police in regard to the woman's nome, saying that if conditions were as they had testified, they would not have hal to wait for a month to serve the search warrant and get enough evidence to warrant a con- rictlon. The police. had testified that every Saturday night and Sun day, Mrs. Kopecz did most of her business, for large number of men went to her place at those times They testified that men went into the house sober and came out under the influence Of liquor.
 Judee Mahgan brought out that when the police raided the house, Mrs. kopecz was there alone. He said that if mon were in the habit of going there and buying drinks. i they would have gone to the house when there was somebody there as they did in other cases. He claimed l that there was no evidence before i the court of intent to sell on the l woman's part, the simple fact that the police seized a jug partly filled with liquor on the premises being 1 insufficient evidence. Mrs. Kopecz told the court that she had bought l

 who used a bread knife to murder Mrs. F. NJ. Thornton. wife Of a for mer steward of the New Britain club, was formally arraigned for the , murder of his sister-in-law last , night, a dispatch from Providence, 1 R. L. today stated, The judge read the complaint through the door of the vehicle after Thornton was taken from his cell en route to a hospital, seven policemen standing guard over him. Thornton, the dis patch stated. was too dazed to reply and failed to make a plea. The judge held him for trial Novem- Der 2S.
 Thornton was regarded as insane after he had fatally slashed the for mer New Britain woman at farm house in Hoxsie. R. l., and much difficulty was experienced by two policemen in overpowering him. Miss Anna kowaltzky, a maid. also formerly of the house staff of the New Britain club, was the only other person present when the maniac welded the knife in his hands. She will be the chief witness against the man at the trial.
 r. M. Thornton, husband of the murdered woman, was in New York, where he vas employed, hay ing left the HoXsie farm on Mon day, after his brother-in-law had been morose for some time, It is stated that the former New Britain steward had supported his brother in-law. who was partly crippled. permitting him to live at his home.
 Word from Providence is to the effect that after Archie Thornton was locked up he became violent in his cell. It was decided to take him 10 a hospital for treatment, and when the policemen and hos pital attaches attempted to transfer him from the cell to the ambulance resistance of violent character %as offered. It was for this reason that he was strapped to stretcher and carried to the ambulance. Mean- while 1t was deemed eXpedient to formally charge him with the crime before he was taken 10 the hos pital. resulting in the judge being hurried'y called, the latter arriving after the man was in the ambu- lance. Tho formalities of the law were then compiled with.
 It is learned that Thornton was not taken 10 Providence. as at first but to police headquar- ters.

,. .'ord, Conn, Jury Verdict Holos
 One Half of One Per Cent Ruling Does Not Apply to Drinks Non h. toXicating "in Fact"

Baltimore, Nov. l3.-Representa- tive John Philip Hill. of Baltimore, was acquitted by jury in United States court today for violating the Nolstead law by manufacturing in- toxicating wine and cider~ at his home.
 The fifth and sixth counts Of the indictment, which chargel Hill with maintaining a common Nuisance at his home were dismissed under in- structions from Judge Morris A. Soper.
 The trial was the result of a test Case forced by Colonel Hill, who maintained that the Nolstead law gave the farmer a right to manufac- ture cider and wine, but withheld from the city man the right to manufacture beer.
 The trial brought from Judge Soper the opinion that the clause of the Volstead act defining beverages of more than half of one per cent alcoholic content as illegal did not apply 10 home made wines and cider, provided the product is on-intoxi- eating "in fact"
 Judge Soper also indicated by his rulings and his charge to the jury that the burden rested upon the government to show that such home products were intoxicating and violation of the law.
 The verdict came after seventeen hours of deliberation by the jury.
 No sooner had it been read than Hill and his attorneys were sur rounded by admirers who struggled to shake them by their hands while showering congratulations which temporarily halted the progress of other court business.
 The verdict speaks for itself," Colonel Hill said.
 United States District Attorney Amos W. w. Woodcock, who prose- cuted the case, declined to discuss the jury's action.
 On the first ballot the jury stood ten to two for acquittal, according to the story of one of the jurors.
 Yesterday afternoon and last night the jury wrangled and argued, the tei trying to sway the two the two proving adama, to the pleas and arguments of tho fen.
 At l o'clock ths morning one of the two was won over, but it was not until 6:45 o'clock that the twelfth man agreed 10 a verdict of acouit- ta'' The verdict was sealed and handed to Judge Soper at 10 a. m.

ALABAMA'S ACTION
 NOT DUE TO PTQUE
State Declines To Yield At South
 Carolina's Request
fRx Staff Collfespondentl

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, New York, July 9.--Alabama did not decline to yield so South Carolina might put Mrs. Leroy Springs into nomina- tion. for the vice presidency through any sense of pique.
 It previously had agreed to yield to Arizona in that Arizona might nomi- nate it's favofite son. It is true, at the same time, that Arizona gave Un- derwood half it's votes in the majority of ballots taken, and South Carolina declined to give Underwood single vote at any stage of the game.
 Some days ago, South Carolina asked Alabama to yield in the name of the sOuth.e T know Alabama will be glad to extend such 2 courtesy to a south ern woman," its spokesman said.
 This prompted some of the delegates to remind South Carolina that it was not displaying e neighborly attitude to- wards g southern man. But no pidue was at the bottom of Alabama final. ly yielding to Arizona.
