WIRE-TAPPFNG

Eighteen men were convicted in Seattle, Wash, of
gigantic conspiracy to violate the national prohbi-
ton law Federal agents obtained the evidence which
convicted them by tapping home and office telephone
wires over period of several months, and noting
carefully the conversations heard. The convicted men
appealed the United States Supreme Court to have
their conviction set aside the ground that tapping
private telephone lines constituted unlawful search
and seizure, against which amendments to the Const
ton guarantee citizens protection.
The Supreme Court has handed down five-to-
four decision upholdng the conviction. Chief Justice
Taft maintains that the language of the amendments
phone wires reaching the whole world from the de
fendant's house or Office He and his associates make
a distinction between material things-a mans house,
his person, his efecs-and his voice projected outside
Of his home.
Justice Brandeis voicing the minority opinion,
holds that wire-tapping is as much violation of the
Constitution search and seizure of home person.
He believes that espionage will to lengths now un-
dreamed of, a result of this decision. Science may
discover ways pry further into a citizens privacy.
There is way out Of this dilemma, as Chief JUS
tice Taft suggests. He says:
Congress may Of course, protect the secrecy Of
telephone by making them, when intercepted,
inadmssible evidence in federal criminal trials, by
direct legislation, and thus depart from the common
law Of such evidence"
Espionage is not pleasant thing to contemplate.
Americans do not like to have their government en-
gagged in such unpleasant activities Wlretappmg.
In the case involved however, 80 persons and Ell
fective organization operating against the gov
ernment on large scale. Ethical hairsp lifting in
fighting such conspiracy, Justice Taft said, might
work more harm than good.

4 REAL HERO

Though we are nOmnally at peace with the
world still turning out military heroes as wit
ness the of Lieutenant c. Frank Schilt awarded
the Congressional Medal of Honor for exceptional
bravery in Nicaragua, where Uncle Sam happens to
have war on his hands that is real enough.
President Coolidge himself pinned the medal
Lieutenant Scht and gave him citation richer in
superatves regarding his courage than any that has
been given for long time.
Oddly enough the leutenants bravery was not
shown in action against the enemy, strictly speaking
but in rescuing comrades who had been wounded.
Schilt is a marine aviator and saved eighteen
"eathernecks from death in the smouderng ruins of
Quilai after it had been burned. Time and again he
landed his plane in street that the wings
would hardly fit into it, loaded his injured comrades
into the fuseage and took off, all the time being the
subject of intense rife fire. AS soon as load
placed in safety Schilt back for another keeping
it up until all safe. In order to clear obstruc-
tions it necessary for him to rocket his plane on
the ake-of sending it up into the air almost perpen
dcularly.
1t required courage and self-confdence rarely
surpassed to do thing of this kind To repeat
it several times exploit that ranks with any
that history has given to The country has good
reason to be proud of Lieutenant Scht and we'll
may bestow upon him its highest honor 1t is parcu-
arly gratifying also to remember that 1t was given
for saving lives, not for taking them.

eight small, round stones near the

This is a puzzle game, an

You can do that said Bunty.

TTALIA'S" TALE AWAITED

Word that Mobile and his crew of the "Italia' are
safe is indeed pleasing particularly coming as it does
after such long silence and concdent with the splen-
did feat of kingsford-Smith and his companions.
Now that the rescuers know just where to con-
duct their search it should not be long until the Ia-
las crew is returned to civilization. Much has be
done, however, before their return is accomplished
There is also need for haste, but in the Arctic haste
has to be made slowly, grim Nature fighting the res
cuers at every step of the way.
Doubtless when the story of the "Italias' expert
is told in full will reveal many thrills and add
new laures to the sturdy pioneers who lead the way
over unbeaten paths, whether it be in the Arctic or
Antarctic in other remote and thinly populated
sections Of the world.
Not all of US follow such paths but we can at
least share of the thrills though they must

DON'T OVERLOOK the smaller advertise
ments in this paper. Look them over. The mes
sage which an advertisement conveys is vastly
more important than the mere size of the space
it fills. Some of the biggest values are often
described in type no larger than ordinary
news-print
-7he safest method is to read all the advertise
ments, large and small. Experience proves
that it is time we'll spent The more time you
spend in preparation for shopping, the less ac-
tual time you will have to be on your feet in the

Read the advertisements in this paper and
you will know in advance just what to buy,
where to buy it, and how much you will have to
pay for it. You will conserve your own energy
and that of the salespeople whose job it is to
wait upon you. Preshopping in the advertising
columns is simply common sense.

GARDINER CHARGE
 FALLS ID GROUND
@lmbsflliB Finds No Depend lAe Evidence Against Hart

The charges which Henry E. Gardiner made against Chief w. c. Hart Of the police department in . letter to Chairman R. W. Chamber lain of the board of police commits sioners will not be investigated fur ther, 1t was said by the chairmen following a conference Saturday forenoon at the office of Chief Hart in tho police station. Chairman Chamberlain and Commissioner M. W. Bannan said they believed Gard iner's accusations that the chief was inefficient were without foundation and no proof was offered in substan- tiation of the charges. Gardiner's complaint included references to the alleged sale of liquor in local clubs and the alleged operation of lotter- ies without police intervention.
 Chief Hart sent Detective Sergeant McCue out to bring Gardiner to the police station for the conference and the sergeant found him at the home of Ira F.. Leonard. former su- pernumerary policeman, at 749 Stanley street. Leonard and Gard iner came in and met the commits sioners and the chief, remaining in session until noon. During the con. doors, it is understood that Chief Hart told Gardiner he was malicious and it is also reported that men, ton was made of Gardiner's alleged misstatements while under oath tr police court during the trial of the Maietta liquor case a few months ago. At that time. Judge w. F, Maugau, who was presiding, inter- rupted proceedings to warn Gard'n- CT that he must be positive about matters which he stated as certain ties before answering. and Gardiner accepted the rebuke-
 After the conference, Chief Hart vas asked by reporters if he wlsh' cd to make statement. and while Gardiner stood few feet away with the door of the chiefs office partly open. the chief said: "yes, Gardiner is crazy and told him so. He made a number of statements on which he is all wrong
 From information sleaned after the conference it appeared that some effort was made by the com missioners to ascertain from Gardi- ner his means of livelihood. Gard iner Is said to have made the statement that he has been stu, dent of constitutional law for sev- cral years. It is said that he has been unemployed for some time.
