SEARCH WRITS
POWER is SET
BACK BY COURT
Special Judge Rules Justices
Can Issue Warrants Only
for Their Township.
EVIDENCE is SUPPRESSED
Decision Made in Appeal
Case From City Court.

The power of prohibition
officers to serve search war
rants obtained from justice of
peace courts received a set
back Wednesday afternoon in
Criminal Court, when Special
Judge H. B. Pike ruled a justice
only can issue warrants for his
township. He held that such
issuance is a civil process.
Judge Pike sustained a motion to
suppress evidence obtained by
search and seizure in the case Of
Salathiel Pierson, 755 Lexington
Ave-, and the defendant was dis
charged.
Pierson appealed from city court
on a charge Of blind tiger where he
was fined 500 and costs ana
sentenced thirty days in Jail. The
search warrant used to enter Pier
sons home was obtained from
Justice Henry H. Spiher Of Wayne
Township. Pierson lived in Center
Township.
Brief Is Filed
In a brief filed by Deputy Attor>
ney General Ralph Span, it was
contended justice of peace can Is
sue liquor search warrants over the
county. He contended such issuance
was a criminal process.
Spaan referred the court to Sec
ton of 1925 act concerning intoxi-
eating liquor which read in part:
Such justice Of the peace, mayor
or Judge shall issue his warrant to
any offiver having power to serve
criminal process"
The ruling of Judge Pike is in
keeping with rulings made by Judge
James A. Collins in other blind tiger
cases.
Case Under Amusement
Judge Pike took under Amusement
the case of Martin l.. King, colored,
538 N. Blacker ST., who appealed on
a blind tiger charge. Motion to sup
.uress evidence on the grounds that
me city judge had no power to is
sue a. search warrant was overruled.
In the lower court King was fined
$40 and costs and sentenced thirty
days on the Indiana State Farm.
Case Of Edward Costello, 1417 Ken
lucky Ave, who appealed was also
taken under advisement, Bertha
Bolden, colored, 315 w. Fifteenth ST.,
was discharged on blind tiger charge

All of these men have obtained

RAIN STOPS AT 1890
BY Henry L. Farrell

Cntted Press staff CORRESPONDENT
PITTSBURGH, Pa, Oct. Is.
Dark clouds hung over
Forbes Field as game time ap-
preached and indications were
that rain might fall any time.
Today's world series game
seemed in danger Of being post
poned, despite predictions that
rain would not reach Pitts
burgh until tomorrow.
The exposed parts of the playing
field back of the plate and in front
of the dugouts were almost ankle
deep in mud.
Commissioner lands said that
every effort would be made to play
the game as there are thousands OF
out-of-town fans who can not re-
main here for another day.
The rain had stopped at 1890 and
the skies cleared little
The band tried to keep up the
spirit Of the bleachers. The leader
organized some community singing
and the noise wasn't bad.
Alas, the Rain Checks!
A capacity crowd seemed doubtful
owing to the weather threat and the
misfortune of hundreds who tore liz
or tossed away their rain checks be
fore the rain yesterday.
The Washington club came on the
field at p. m. They walked heavy
footed in the mud.
Pirates and Senators were eager
to get into the seventh fray and
have the series over with.
Most Of the fans who have beer
dragging back and forth during the
series felt the same way about it
and there was cause for alarm wher
they took their first peep out of the
window this morning. The streets
were wet from a night rain, the
skies were heavy and overcast anG
the early workers went to their la
bors with umbrellas and rain coats
under their arms. 1t drizzled occa
sionally during early hours.
''Today's game is not in danger Of
being postponed" w. S. Brotzman
local weather forecaster, said dur
ing the morning.
Morale Unaffected
The two days OF rain in the series
has not affected the morale Of the
men, but they have had a long sea
son Of baseball and they don't want
to continue any longer than neces
sary under the strain Of a world
series.
Walter Johnson Is a sure charge
to pitch the seventh game-when
ever it is played. He was ready tC
a day Of rest on his regular schedule
The Washington players figured that
the weather gave them the best
break of the series by allowing the
veteran Barney" another day OF
rest. The rest not only will benefit
his arm but will also help his leg
which has a slight charley horse
Johnson said yesterday, however
that the leg bothered him only wher
he was running the limit.
Right After Walter
The Pittsburgh players laughed Of
the claim that the lay off was Of
greater benefit to the Senators. They
said they were sure to beat johnson
in his next start, no matter how
much rest he has between.
Vic Aldridge, it was generally I'm
derstood, will pitch the next game
for the Pirates.
The regulars OF the two teams are
ready to go just as soon as the
weather will let them.

RaISon One of Few to Whom BefeI Lot of Refusing the
Highest Nomination in His Party'S Power.

States district attorney. Charles
Greathouse and Meredith Nicholson,
the author. The Indiana delegation,
standing steadfastly by their candi-
date from the minute he had been
placed in nomination by Van Mugs,
in one OF the shortest, most effective
nominating speeches in political his
tory, had succeeded in successfully
evading the wrangles and bitter fac
tional fights which kept the conven-
ton in a turmoil throughout it's long
sessions.
Time after time outside aid was
offered from other States, but the
Indiana delegation bided it's time
until the Smith and McAdoo storms
had worn themselves out and stead
lastly refused proffered assistance.
Break for Ralston
A break for Ralston came on the
forty-ninth ballot when Mississippi
switched its twenty votes from Nc
Adoo to Ralston and Illinois added
five, bringing total of Sc. From
this point the Ralston vote climbed
slowly, but steadily, to SO on the
fifty-second ballot, without effort on
the part Of the Indiana managers.
The day following, July 4. Sen
atOr Ralston telegraphed Taggart
an offer to withdraw from the race
in the interests of party harmony,
and the Ralston vote dropped almost
out of existence as Indiana divided
its thirty votes among other candi-
dates.
But instead Of running his chances
for nomination Senator Ralston's I'M
selfish offer to withdraw only
strengthened his position, and as the
balloting dragged along a determined
move in his behalf gained more
Roadway. All through the day of
July s, the Ralston vote grew stead
lily and on the ninety-sixth ballot
reached the high mark of 1861
Meantime the Smith and McAdoo
phalanxes were broken and their
strength was fading fast.
When the convention adjourned
that night 1t generally was conceded
that Ralston's nomination was a
matter Of but few ballots. Taggart
was sure Of All votes on the first
ballot the next morning, strength
that was sure to sweep the conven-
ton within short time.
Sv1 Declines Definitely
Then came the bombshell. Senator
Ralston. from his home here, called
Taggart by telephone and announced
definitely positively that he would
not accept the nomination.
Broken-hearted after all his effort,
with success within reach, Taggart
bowed to the inevitable, and the
name of Indiana's candidate was
withdrawn. John w. Davis was nom
mated a few ballots later.
In the public mind the withdrawal
of Senator Ralston at the final
minute never was understood. His
intimate friends. however, knew that
it was caused by definite orders
from physicians, who knew that his
physical condition was such as to
make a long presidential campaign,
with all its nerve raclling strain.
