No Recognition for
Russia, Saws Coolidge

Washington.-No recognition of the
Russian Soviet government Is contem-
plated by the United States until there
is a further change in conditions in
that country, it was said at the White
House. This would seem to put at
rest rumors that serious consideration
was being given to the question of
recognition.
President Coolidge does not believe
that it is helpful to have constant dis
cussion and agitation of this question
and on that account RETAINED from
expressing any opinion further than
TO state that there has been no change
in his views.

NO WRIT NEEDED
To HUNT FOR RUM
u. S. Court Holds Agents
Can Search Autos for
Booze

Washington. - Federal prohibition
agents may lawfully stop automobiles
and other vehicles and search them
for contrabaLd liquor without war
rant. the Supreme court decided in &
case from Michigan, brought by George
Carroll and John Kiro.
In another liquor case decision,
brought from Georgia by Sig Samuels,
the court held that states may, under
the Constitution, make unlawful thu
possession of liquor acquired legally
before enactment Of the federal pro-
hibition act
Chief Justice Taft delivered the
opinions, Justices McReynolds and
Sutherland dissenting in the former,
and Justice Butler in the latter.
Distinction Is Drawn.
1t was the intent Of congress to
make a distinction between the neces-
sity FOR a search warrant in the
searching of private dwellings and Of
automobiles. the chief justice stated,
and that distinction was constitutional.
There is no provision in the Constitu-
ton which denounces all searches or
seizures without a warrant, ne said,
adding that it prohibits only "unrea-
sonable" searches or seizures.
The rule to be applied in determln-
ing the legality of seizure without a
warrant, as laid down by the court. Is
whether the Selling officer has reason
able or probable cause for believing
the automobile has contraband liquor
in it which is being illegally transport
ed. This is ample protection to the
individual, in the opinion of the court.
Carroll and Kiro had been negotiat-
ing with federal enforcement agents
for the sale of liquor, md the court
held there was ample justification for
the stopping and searching of their
automobile near Grand Rapids, Mich,
without a warrant.

FAST

On Tuesday of this week l.. NJ.
Bonnewell. director of Carbon county
for the Wyoming Motor Club, sent
out letters to the motorists of Raw
Inns and Parco for membership in
the club and the result was very
gratifying. for during the past two
days a number of new members have
sent in their two dollar subscription
and it is believed hat many more
members will be added before the
week is over.
The residents of Wyoming seem to
be sold on the idea of the club, for in
1t they realize the many possibilities
that are to be gained by such an or
ganization. Wyoming is one of the
outstanding states in the Union for
scenic beauty and recreational ad-
vantages but 1t is a case of adyer.

lists who each year travel the country
in their car and at the same time
bring millions of dollars into the
states they visit.

cy road service. The only way to adj

Club. emblems are being made for
the members automobiles and Il Is
expected that they will be available
in a short time. 1t is hoped that
within a short time every m%otorist
in the state will be a member of the
club. for in It may be realized advan-
tages that can be obtained in no
other way. advantages that will
benefit every resident of the state of
Wyoming.
