 | Want Permanent Post The commissioners will also con- sider asking the common council to make permanent the position Of deputy building inspector, which has been filled by Walter l..

 Kutherfords Report
 'For the past year or more, the | building commission has had the services of w. Vincent Barry of New Haven, as consulting engineer and I consider this to be one of the most progressive steps we have | taken. While we have a great many problems confronting us during the year from an engineering standpoint it would certainly not warrant tho, opinion would be q waste of money. | However, it goes without saying that the building commission should have some person designated to refer questions of this kind to so that no criticism can be made for not Secur- | ing the services of the best men In 1 this line. I fully believe that the city of New Britain received full value for the money expended dur 1 ing the past year in the services rendered by Mr. Barry and it IS with regret that 1 am recommending that we dispense with Mir. Barry's serv- ices.
 During the past two or three months l have been in communica- tion with several people relative 10 our engineering problems with a ! view to finding way of improving ! our system from the standpoint Of : immediate service that cannot be had with Mr. Barry in New Haven, the distance being a drawback and with q new program to be developed , for the coming year, l would recom- mend that the services of Mir.

 Washington, Dec. 1c Pt-Deciding a test case, the supreme court held today that evidence obtained by New York state police cannot law fully be used by the government in prosecutions under the prohibition enforcement act.
 The court sustained a plea that liquor found in a car taken by state police at Massena, \. Y, In August 1924 could not legally be used as evidence because the car had been searched without warrant.
 Selected From Many
 The Massena case was selected out of number Of similar cases. When the car in question was seized Rosario Gambino and Joseph Lima of Utica. who Were riding in it, were arrested by the state police, and turned over. with the evidence taken. to federal officers. They were prosecuted under the federal prohi- bition act and the lower courts threw out their objection to the manner in which the seizure was made. New York state has no pro- hibition enforcement act of it's own.
 Delivering the opinion Justice Brandcis pointed out that the auto- mobile was searched without a war rant.

But as the conviction of these defendants rests wholly upon evidence obtained by invasion of their constitutional rights. We are of the opinion that the judgment should be reversed and the case remanded for future proceedings
 There had been many instances in which the lower federal courts have admitted evidence obtained by state officers through wrongful search and caizura saiJ tbn i,rctica ad}iocr +b, ', I "only threo reported cases have been found in which Ii could have been seriously contended, in view of the law of the state and the facts appearing in the opinion, that the search and seizure had been made solely for the purpose of aiding in the enforcement of the federal law"

corruption probe.
The jury and prosecutors have
spent the week Investigating the al
legged contribution of $4,000, by
utilities to Governor Jackson's 1924

AIS HACKERS
Dry and Reform Defeats
Held Success 0mens by
Liberal Democrats.
BU United Press

Blu United Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.-Gov-
ernor AL Smiths friends here are
encouraged by the off-year cleo
ton results, not only in New York
State, but also in Ohio and Ken
lucky.
In Ohio the Marshall bill cham
pioned by the Anti-Saloon League
was defeated by a referendum and
in Kentucky the Democratic reform
forces of j. c. w. Beckham, can
didate for Governor, were beaten
by detection of the liberal Demo-
Gratis.
Smiths friends profess to believe
these two results mark up defeats
for influences which have been OPP
posing his candidacy and offer i'm
petus to forces working for him.
Triumph of Liberalism
In a statement Senator Edwards
(Dem) New Jersey, friend of Smith,
expressed belief that Smiths
chances for the Democratic nomina-
ton for President have been in
creased 100 per cent. He pointed
to the New York outcome, where
Smiths attitude on State constitu-
tional amendments was upheld by
the electorate, and added;
"In Ohio, mother of the most
powerful and intolerant league ever
organized in America, kangaroo
courts were consigned to oblivion,
although they were Endorsed by
Wheelerism. While the election in
Kentucky had no particular nation
al significance, it is interesting to
observe that here, too, sane liber-
alism triumphed over a narrow re-
actionism."
The Marshall bill defeated in
Ohio would have permitted magis-
trates to work under the fee system
in trial of prohibition and other
criminal cases.
Peace Meeting Plan
Beckham based his Kentucky cam
paign largely around opposition to
the race track pari-mutuel machines.
The Republican victor, F. D.
Sampson, declared race tracks were
not an issue.
With this outcome in the off-year
election, Democrats for and against
Smith are talking about having a
Jackson dinner here Jan. IL, as a
sort Of peace meeting. The usual
Jackson day rally had been removed
from the schedule this year because
of apparent difference of opinion
among Democrats.
Present plans call for sending of
invitations to all Democratic Gov
,ernorS, including Smith, but the
only speaker on the program so far
contemplated is John w. Davis, de-
feated candidate for the presidency
in 1924.
