DEFENSE MOTION IS l. SUSTAINED BY COURT
 IN M'CLOSKEY CASE

Today Judge E. Coke Hill sus- tained the motion for suppression of evidence in the McCloskey pro- hibition case, entered by George B. Grigsoy, attorney for the de- fcnse. The motion for suppress sion was based on the ground that the search warrant upon which pro hibition officers had entered the AdcCloskey residence last January, was void. Judge Hill said the warrant was void on it's face, since
 It was dated January 5, 1928. in- stead of 1929.
 l. The cs5r began last January when James McCloskey and mem
 bers of his family were held to answer on charge of conspiracy
 to violate the prohibition laws
 No action was taken, and on April is a charge of possession of intoxi- eating liquor was made against them, based upon the same search in which the warrant today held
 void, was used. A motion to sup press the evidence based on the al legged insufficiency of the affidavit on which the warrant was issued was entered April and denied or April Il by the Court. On Apri l2 another motion to suppress the evidence on account of an alleged | iefect in the search warrant was made by MT. Graham and today
 sustained by Judge Hill.

much to do with it. The truth is that the number of guests of ne- cessity invited to each of the four State receptions has grown so large that it is impossible to serve sup per to them with any measure of dignity and decorum.
 Small for Tunc::ons
 While a stately, dignified and typical American residence for the President of the United States, the White House is small and made quate for entertaining on the mammoth scale of court functions.
 There is every reason to believe, therefore, that the President and Mrs. Hoover will follow in the footsteps of their predecessors and serve refreshments only at their smaller parties.
