MOTE DISCHARGED
IN BLIND TIGER
CASE BY COLLINS
Court SustainS Motion to
Suppress Evidence of
Liquor Seizure.

Motion to quash an affidavit for a
search warrant. which led to the
discharge Of Carl H. Mote, attorney,
1850 n. Delaware ST, charged with
manufacturing possession and sale
Of liquor, in a grand jury indictment,
was sustained today by Criminal
Judge James A. Collins.
Prosecutor William H. Remy was
prevented from bringing out
evidence in the trial OF the indict-
ment. Remy kept complete record
oe the proceedings, indicating he will
appeal Collins decision to the State
Supreme Court.
In the trial Collins sustained OBJ
jections of Henry Winkler. Notes
attorney, when Remy asked Sergt.
Cox regarding his search and seizure
of the few bottles at the Mote resi-
dence April 8.
Home Sacred
In sustaining the motion Collins
said the Mote home Is as sacred"
as any other residence and no Of
ficer has the right to enter in IAN
dence on which to base a criminal
prosecution. Cox merely performed
his duty, Collins said.
Cox testified Mote deRied having
liquor, but later gave him some
bottles when he told him to get it
out" so it would not be necessary to
search the house.
J. j. Snow, 1921 Euclid Ave.
testified he had been employed at
the Mote home, saw liquor there.
and swore out an affidavit for a
search warrant before Municipal
Judge Paul Wetter. Snow denied
knowledge that Mote ever sold, gave
away or bartered the liquor.
This case should have been
settled in Municipal Court the case
was dismissed there). I don't know
how the case got before the grand
jury, but officers are bound by what
they told the jury" said Collins.
Conditions Unsettled
Issuing of the warrant goes back
to the unsettled condition in Marion
County, where justices of the peace
and other magistrates issue war
rants for the purpose of entering
houses in order to bare evidence for
criminal prosecution" Collins said.
Mote testified he heard the search
warrant read and that Cox seized
some of his property" which was
taken to police headquarters, where
he was slated. Cox said he had
warrant for the arrest of Mote on
blind tiger charge at the time of
the search. 1t was not served.

evidently nettled that the work of one
of his men had been questioned. Mary
liked his loyalty, but not his tone.
She smiled her most innocent smile.
and replied: "Mr. rockingham, I
would as leave take my neighbor's

say that | didn't like that story of
yours, either, in which you stated that

know that isn't so.
The tension was electric,
rockingham was a gentleman, so
managed to smile, and the incident
passed off. There was noticeable
coolness between the pair, however,
as they passed out the door.
Squarely in front of the door of the
hotel was a big truck. The man was
unloading several tons of coal 1t
was anthracite!
Unquestionably it was hard coal,
Mary smiled one Of her most en-
trancing smiles, such as only a
triumphant woman can manage.
rockingham saw the coal and the
smile at the same instant, and knew
at once that he was licked. He
grinned in a sickly fashion.
"Leok at the name on the wagon"
cooed Mary, remorselessly, pointing
with glOved hand; and rockingham
saw, in large letters. "Peterkin.''

The high level Of stock market

largely the result of a speculative

steadily rising market. 1t finally be-

outlook on the river is fine, and the
span gives a way from NJ street to the
towpath Of the canal and to Water
street, and by that means persons
reach the boat clubs and private boat
houses on Water street and the homes
Of good many persons living between
the canal and the river. The canal
towpath is a popular walk In good

Miss Mary Rogue, that terrible girl
who spoke frankly when she was paid
| to do so, and scarcely at all when she
| was not, had no intention in the world
of picking a quarrel with Mr.. Chester
F'rothingham.
Mr.. rockingham, as city editor OF
her favorite newspaper, merited and
| received her greatest respect. Not
only was he a likable young man, he
was a very capable one to boot.
Mary, therefore, had the most pro-
found admiration for him. To those
not actively engaged in the produc-
tion OF a modern newspaper, the work
seems to radiate glamour as the stove
does heat. From the North, East,
West and South (as the word news
is supposed to mean) the work of the
world comes rolling in.
There is a romance to newspaper
making that few occupations in
civilization possess, partly due to the
fact that news deals with the funda-
mental springs of human conduct.
Ambition greed. love, the struggle to
get on, every turn and twist of the
mind of man. every kink in that in
tangible but mighty fabric-these are
some of the sources of news.
And any one, for scarcely no price
at all, may safely and quietly, in his
armchair after supper, regale himself
with what the whole world does and
says, and just how it did it and said it,
and the probable course of events to
morrow. Here is the real thing" at
last.
This folded paper, which one
casually picks off the doorstep, comes
as near being a daily miracle as most
men will see; yet there are those who
now and then take up their paper,
look 1T it hastily and throw 1t NSide
declaring, There IS not thing n. It. ~

Not a thing in it!
On the dullest day that ever was,
there is love. romance and mystery
in your newspaper. And there is
more than that--there is the work
of hundreds of trained, capable,
energetic men.
A modern newspaper is printed not
only with ink, but with brains. en-
deavoring to make the news of even
the dull days interesting.
So 1t was that Mary Rogue admired
Chester rockingham, city editor,
under whose direction the local news
was gathered. written and put into
print.
She accepted gladly his invitation

smiled, so we cannot stand on cere-

Il would much rather sit on a

proceeded to do, he seated with his

across a little plain table without
cloth. The West and East stretched
to either side.

Even the existence of the Bohemian

Mary helplessly, not knowing what to
say. She was somewhat awed by

so much, including the World War.

Grade Crossings.

Despite the objections of property
owners within the area that would
be affected by the change, the Senate
District committee has approved the
bill for the elimination of the grace
crossing at Michigan avenue, in BROOK
land. The objectors to the plan point
ed to the Monroe street viaduct as
affording a sufficient means OF cross
ing the tracks off grade and urged
that the raising of Michigan avenue
to effect a similar safe crossing by that
highway would inflict heavy damages
upon them. The committee has taken
the ground that the correction OF the
Michigan avenue crossing is essential,
regardless of the existence of another
crossing off grade within a short dis
tance. Any other view would have
logically involved the complete clos
ing of Michigan avenue at the point
of crossing the railroad tracks, which
would haye imposed an even heavier
damage upon the property owners.
At the same time the Senate com
mittee asked the District Commits
ing the remaining grade crossings In
the District and the cost of removing
then, with q view to determining
whether provision cannOt be made for
eliminating them all at one time. This
is a move in the right direction. 1t
is far better to cure these evils at one
stroke than to attack them one by
one, stretching the process over long
AS the population of the District in
creases the chances of accident at any
one of these points become greater.
Furthermore, it is highly desirable
relieved of the grade-crossing menace
in order that it can with the greater
force demand that Maryland correct
similar conditions in the area lying
Immediately outside Of the District
boundary. The District people are
endangered at these Maryland cross
ings as well as are the Maryland
people. Washington cannot effec-
lively contend for the correction of
these conditions in the neighboring
State as long as it maintains such
conditions within it's own area.
There should be no grade crossing
on any frequented highway, either
within the District or anywhere with
in the area of heavy travel outside.
In Maryland and in Virginia also are
numerous grade crossings which are
taking lives from time to time. Even
tually they will all be corrected. In
the construction of new roads, and in
the Improvement of old ones under
State highway plans, these level cross
ings are avoided The process of
eliminating the crossings on old roads
is a costly one and may require many
years for completion, but that end
is in sight, even though it's attain
ment may mean a heavy expenditure
The District, at least, should be COM
pletely purged of this evil in the
shortest possible time.
