CONFERENCE ON
WRITS PLANNED
Judges to Discuss Uniform
Search Ruling.

Judge James A. Collins OF Crimi-
nal Court today said he probably
would confer with Judges Fred Nc.
Callister and Edward w. Felt, who
sit as special criminal judges. to dis
cuss a uniform ruling on the validity
OF search warrants in liquor law vio-
lation cases. Judge Collins had n
short conference with Felt, and an
nounced that after the three have
talked the matter over thoroughly
by may issue a statement.
Joe Rand Beckett, special deputy
attorney, asked that the courts
reach an understanding when Judge
McCallister Tuesday sustained a
motion to quash the affidavit used
for a search warrant. The motion
vas sustained on grounds that no
probable cause for the search was
shown.
Beckett insisted such n ruling
makes IL impossible to enforce the
prohibition law. The court held that
an officer has no right to swear out
an affidavit on the hearsay Of a
neighbor. The person actually know
ing OF the violation must swear out
the affidavit and warrant, It was
ruled.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-The
Mellon banks of Pittsburgh, in which
the Secretary Of the Treasury is II
OF the large stockholders, may not
return S91,472 to the United States
Treasury after all. The Bureau of
Internal Revenue, 1t appears, has
ruled that the banks cannot be COM
PEELED to restore the money and the
tary contribution.
The sol, 472 in question is the
amount Of the income tax refund
paid to the Mellon National, the
Union Trust and the Union Savings
Bank Of Pittsburgh for the year 1917.
These banks filed individual income
tax returns when under the law they
should have filed a consolidated re-
turn because they are allied banks.
The individual returns resulted in a
saving of $91, 472 which was obtained
for the banks by the law firm Of
which Senator David A. Reed Of
Pennsylvania is a member.
Senator Norris of Nebraska as
sailed the refund in the Senate. Sen
ator Reed defended the principle Of
consolidated returns, w that
the Mellon banks and his own law
firm had been permitted to disregard
the law and to file individual re-
turns.
"Of course the banks ought to re-
fund the money If the case has been
wrongly decided" Senator Reed an
nounced thereafter, and he added
that the banks should not stand up
on the statute of limitations.
In the meantime. Reed asked the
Bureau Of Internal Revenue to in
vestigate. The investigation was
made but Reed said today nothing
has been done" and he indicated
nothing will be done.
Solicitor Gregg Of the Bureau of
Internal Rvenue told me he has
looked into the case" Reed said.
HE does not agree with the deci-
sion. but there is nothing that the
administration a do"
Then will the Mellon banks make

fund.-" Reed was asked.

temperate regions of both the Old

cultivated for silk growing, for the

There are three well-known species,
red, black and white, named from
the color of the fruit.
The white mulberry, the silkworm
mulberry, is a native Of China. 1t
was brought to America when the
early colonists attempted to raise
silkworms. Though they failed to
establish the silk-worm culture as
an industry, the white mulberry
trees they imported have developed
into some of the leading fruit
varieties of North America. The
chief centers Of mulberry cultivation
and Of silk growing are China,
Japan, India, France, Persia, and
Turkey.
The black mulberry, the fruit
bearing mulberry of Europe, is not
grown to any extent in the United
States, though it has been known
since earliest antiquity. 1t was in

The red mulberry. a native Of
North America, has fruit of a pleas
ing tartness, which relieves the
sweetness characteristic of the fruits
Of all mulberry trees. In some parts
Of Europe this tree is cultivated in
preference to other kinds because Of
its hardness. None of the mulber-
ries are planted extensively in North
America, however, because the fruit
is too soft to market. In some of the
western United States the Russian

WASHINGTON, April An
other Marine Corps officer, Col.
Henry c. Davis, commandant of the
marine barracks at Norfolk Navy
Yards, has broken into the Butler
Williams court-martial situation,
with the result that Army and Navy,
as we'll as Marine Corps gossip here
today, was somewhat unrestrained.
Colonel Davis wrote a long letter
to the editor of the Norfolk Virgin
ian Pilot, giving his views Of the
controversy.
After citing the regulations on
which General Butler acted, Colonel
Davis took the stand that General
Butler had no alternative under the
Constitution, was the sworn duty Of
General Butler to proceed against
Colonel Williams "on his sacred word
of honor as an officer and a gentle
man."
Prohibition a "JOke"
Colonel Williams, according to
Colonel Davis, displayed every poor
judgment" in offering 1.-The com
handing officer a cocktail under the

This particular sentence seems to
find a unanimity of opinion here, in
sharp contrast with the judgments
as to other assertion of Colonel
Davis.
Turning from the details of the
Butler Williams situation, Colonel
Davis in his letter characterized pro-
hibition enforcement as a "joke."
adding that he believes it ito be n
of the greatest causes for disorder
and lawlessness existing today"

I took at his own will, and it should

There were those among the Army,
Navy and Marine Corps officers here
in discussing this thought, who said
they could not find 1t in their hearts
to differ with Colonel Davis, what
ever they might think Of his writing
it for publication.
