In declaring the search warrant
defective, the court said in part:
"The constitution 10 paramount

evasion Of 1t by validating writs
issued on sworn declaration. which
literally comply with the terms Of
the statute. but which fail to
establish probable cause in as much

giving free rein to abuses, hate

The revenue agent in the case,
on applying for a search warrant

believe from information that the

was no affidavit from the informant

EUROPE DEEPLY

ELECTION
Attitude Of Candidates on
Foreign Policies Widely
Discussed Abroad
b INTERNATIONAL News Service.


LONDON, Nov. All Europe
was watching keenly the outcome
OF the presidential election in the
United States today. The varying
attitudes of the presidential candi.
dates towards foreign policy has
aroused high interest in Europe
over the result.
Many influential London papers,
basing their predictions upon re-
ports from their American CORE
spondents, forecast the election OF
President Coolidge.
The Times points out that Sen.
ator La Follette's proposal to limit
the powers OF the United States
Supreme Court and change the
Constitution is ''disquieting. It de.
clareS that even IL America escaped
the rAvages Of war 1t still has the
problem OF radicals who preach
revolutionary doctrines and assail
established political and social az
poets Of the government.
France and Germany are inter
ested In the possibility of wider
participation by the United States
in European affairs. The belief
held here Is that II John w. Davis
is elected, America will have a
national executive who favors en-.
trance to the League Of Nations
entrance TO the World Court and
active participation in all interna.
tional conferences. On the other
hand 1t appears to Europeans that
President Coolidge's foreign pro.
gram does not extend beyond IN.
trance to the World Court. 1t is
pointed cut that President Coolidge
Is already on record as saying that
the United States will take no stem
that will impair the Americans
ability to shape thier own affairs.
Senator La Toilette is an I'M
known quantity to Europeans.

Inaccuracy in the reports made
by division heads in the Govern

he declared that ''at least half Of
the Government employees are not

join forces with Chi Hsieh-yuan, war
lord Of Kiangsu, who has lust
recently consolidated his hold on the

OWNER CAN'T BE BLAMED
 IF COON GETS FEET WET

LONDON, Jan. 14-If a racoon knocks over a pan of milk instead of drinking 1t and thereby gets his feet wet, the owner is not guilty of cruel ty to animals. The raccoon has only himself to blame if his feet get wet.
 This decision in animal jurisprud- ence was made yesterday by Magist- rate Cobb in Essex Market court in the case of Harry Moran, agent of the Humane Society, against George Ho- nig 20, clerk in a fur shop at 2 West Fourteenth street Honig had put the racoon in the show window Wednesday,, and it turned over a pan of milk. A woman complained and Honig was arrested.
 Your Honor" said Honig to Mag istrate Cobb. ''I don't see how I can sit up all night to keep the coon from spilling it's milk
 "Quite right agreed the Magist- rate, who turned to Moran and asked |. "Where do you want him to keep the raccoon-at the Waldorf?" Honig was discharged.
