SEARCH WARRANT
RULING MAY HAVE
GREAT INFLUENCE
Judge Asserts Provisions in
Wright Law Are Un-
constitutional.

A liquor law ruling which, 1t Is be-
lived, will have great influence over
Indiana was made Friday afternoon
by Judge Fred McCallister Of Mu-
nicipal Court Two when he ruled
that search warrant proceedings Of
the Wright bone-dry law are uncon-
stitutional because the violate pro.
visions of the bill of rights of the
Indiana constitution. Judge Nc
Callister handed down his opinion in
sustaining a motion to quash the
search warrant used to obtain evil
dence against Grace Foster, 1910
n. Sherman Ave
The defendants attorney chal-
lenged the warrant because evidence
revealed that 1t had been obtained
without a hearing in which the
probable cause" for belief that law
was being violated was set forth.
1t was pointed out the ruling
means that officers obtaining a
search warrant cannot give hearsay
evidence, and upon it's strength OBJ
tain a search warrant and use liquor
thus obtained as evidence in a trial.
The court held the Wright law pro
visions unconstitutional because they
permit the issuance Of search war
rants when the issuing officer has
reason to believe" violations occur
and provide for no hearing.
The mandate of the constitution
is clear and specific, to the effect
that search warrant shall be is
sued only upon probable cause sup
ported by oaths or affirmation,
ruled Judge McCallister.
John L. Niblack, deputy prosecu-
tor. declared the case formed a prece.
dent which would make it practi-
cally impossible to obtain evidence
in liquor law prosecutions in Marion
County. He said he would confer
with Prosecutor William II. Remy
in an effort to find some way. to
take the ruling to the State Su-
preme Court.

WASHINGTON, May 22,-"Oul
Jim for President! Whee"
Senator Watson Of Indiana is be
ginning to keep his ear to the GROUND
closely, listening for that long wolf
howl to come from the midwesterr
prairies before 1923.
lie is listening especially closely
since the Pennsylvania primaries
with their slap at the Coolidge Ad
ministration, and since his own pill
ing up of a huge majority In the
Indiana primaries.
And today along came news that
Senator r. n. Stanfield, Coolidge
supporter, was running third in the
Republican primary vote in Oregon
A Whisper in 1920
The cry was first heard in 1920
but it was such a mere whisper
even in Indiana, that Watson could
not pretend he had heard 1t. al
though he was only prevented from
announcing candidacy in that year
by an Indiana political incident
which has not yet been told
In 1924 the cry was heard again
only this time the slogan was THE
Nation Needs Watson"for vice presi
dent, The nation decided it didn';
need Watson, and the incident was
closed.
Seriously speaking, however, In
diana's senior Senator is watching
with an eagle eye every incident
which might show a drift of national
politics to the point where they
might turn favorable to him
He and his friends. it is said, were
secretely pleased with tho Pennsyl
vania primary as rejecting on Presi
dent Coolidge's chances in 1928
Watson is also watching closely the
progress of former Governor Low
den OF Illinois, Vice President Dawes
Speaker Longworth and other mid
western presidential possibilities.
This also furnishes a reason fol-
his great disturbance at the reso
luton Of Senator James A. Reed Of
Missouri providing for investigation
of the methods by which the recent
senatorial primaries were won. anC
for continued investigation of the
senatorial campaigns this summer.
No Wonder Jim Fled
Watson was so disturbed. it. is re
called. that he rushed hastily from,
the Senate chamber after voting
against taking up the Reed resolu
ton, and was not present at the
final roll call.
Inspection Of the resolution re
veals his reasons. It is the most
sweeping thing Of it's kind ever
passed. It challenges not only the
use Of money, but the promise OF
office, or any other kind of prom
Use which might influence votes
made by or for any organization,
whatever.
Recalling that Reed is sworr
and bitter enemy Of the Ku-Kluz
