Courts Beginning to Put Curb on Prohibi
 ton Agents.
(New York Herald Tribune

Judge Edwin S. Thomas filed an opinion today | tDec. IA, at New Haven Conn.l in the United States District Court holding that search and sez- ure in prohibition enforcement cases must be in- ploratory basis upon which to base a possible ar rest and that the Jones Act does not automatcal- fly make felony out of illegal transportation of liquor the maintenance of a nuisance as it was the purpose of Congress to have it invoked only against habitual offenders
 In the case of Anthony J. Setaro, a Danbury lconfectoner who was arrested June IT last by Prohibition Agents who saw him carry cans from his automobile to his store and who confessed that he had been transporting liquor Judge Thomas granted a motion for suppressing of evil dence and the return of Setaro's automobile which was confscated by the Government William Cody and John Henneberry former Boston University students who were employed at the tune as undercover agents by the Prohibi- tion authorities of Boston made the arrest without warrant, after a search of the confectionery store revealed liquor and Setara confessed to hay ing transported liquor.
 Under the ruling of Judge Thomas even if they had had warrant the search seizure and arrest would have been illegal unless they previously had had evidence of violation of the law in Setaras store as exploratory searches by Pro- nloiolon agents, with or without a warrant in search Of evidence are lin contravention of Anglo American justice and 2 confession obtained after an Illegal search and seizure cannot be used against the confessor"
 Judge Thomass decision is regarded as being far-reachng in it's effects if his lead is followed by other Judges in other parts of the country.
 "The alleged confession by the petitoned after the illegal search' said Judge Thmas, will not serve to make legal that which in its inception is illegal"
 The confession and the discovery of liquor after the search had been started he said merely serve to prove that the officers guessed correctly"
 Many Judges before him have held that search warrant is necessary in of misdemeanor but Judge Thomas. besides holding that even with a search warrant such raids may be illegal takes occasion to point out that procedure without warrant upon the assumption that the Jones Act makes felon of the offender, provided he is con- victed, is not justified.
 The Federal penal code describes felony as an offense punishable by than one year in prison
 The penalty under the Jones Act may be five years Tn prison and a fine of $10O00 but the Jones Act, according to the opinion of Judge Thomas may be utilized for the prosecution only of habtual offenders. The Jones Act" he says declared that it was the intent of Congress that only habtuaI volators should be subjected to prosecution under the Act
 ms was not merely 'pious wish of Congress but was legislation" W The search and seizure he declares must ho ihcloental to the arrest, and not the exnoratorv basis upon which to predicate a possible arrest

A MODERN CHRONICLE.

The following dispatch was received by The Empire the day after Christmas, the birthday ot Him who came to bring peace on earth:
 BUFFALO N Y, Dec. 26-Eugene F. Downey, Jrq aged 27 son of Police Lieu tenant Downey of this city bled to death after being shot by Coast Guardsmen in the cutter 22-45 patrolling the Niagara River for rum runners and narcotic smugglers.
 Downey and compaon were in the motorboat known as the Dodge and were suspected of having aboard load of liquor from Canada.
 After the shooting, the Dodge was found to be empty.
 Downey bleeding profusely when the Coast Guardsmen found him.
 This is not account of something that oc- cured in medieval Europe when suspicion was equivalent to conviction ard sentence of death. It took place in the United States of America within the last few days in this year of Lord 1929- seven centuries after King John and Magma Carta. And it is not an isolated instance It is a link in a long and bloody chain of Federal outlawry in the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amend ment.

EXECUTIVE OFFICES IN STATE, ARMY
 AND NAVY BUILDING.

The announcement that on account of fire in the White House the President will remove the Executive Offices to the State Army and Navy Building to recall that before President Roosevelt had the White House enlarged there was a lot of agitation in favor of building new Army and Navy Building or separate buildings for the Army and Navy and release the State Army and Navy Building to the use of the Executive and his State Department. Even in those days the Presidents office force was growing and his need for office room was pressing. When Roosevelt de- cided to solve the problem by building wings on the White House it declared by many that it would spoil that beautiful building, and that the State Building just across the street. with the proposed subway leading from the White House, would be as convenient for the President to have his offices under the same roof under which he lived
 While the additions to the White House built during the Roosevelt tenure it is now admitted, have added to the beauty of the Presidents man. sion, the need for office for the Executive has outgrown the offices provided in the White House and again hear talk of the subway and the use by the President and his Secretary of State of the State, Army and Navy Building. Long ago the needs of the State, War and Navy Depart ments outgrew the old-fashioned building next door to the White House, that once upon time was the country's pride Various bureaus and adjuncts of the Departments whose Cabinet heads are in this building are now housed in other buildings It is said however that it would still take good care of the Executive offices and the State Depart ment.
 The old State, Army and Navy Building is of modified French architecture that popular in Paris century ago, and there good deal of ravng about it when it erected few years after the Civil War It is now generally looked upon, sometimes with approval, antique. It is "monstrous" said writer particularly when compared with the majestic simplicity of the Treasury Building the other side of the White House Yet, nharmonious as it is among its sur roundings, every suggestion that it be torn down to give place to modern American building has met with storm of protest, particularly by those who cherish it on account of historical associa- tions

THE SNOW LADY By Mary Graham Bonner


 John, Peggy and the Little Black Clock walked inside the Snow Lady's house. It was warm and snug inside, just as a snow fort would be-sheltered from the wind. f The person who had been draw ing the sled was evidently the Snow Lady's son.
 She was dressed in white-savc for a few touches of green pine needles which decorated her cos tune.
 She seemed a most magnificent princess, a very, very great lady, a person very different from others one could see.
 John and Peggy, the children I brought with me, arc so glad that there was snow for Christmas. Now l have turned the time back a few days so they could talk with you"
 T see" said the Snow Lady. Well you know this is busy time of the JCcI ClA 4ltC. liC 4CAIACobo hCNP me so busy!
 My dears! You've no idea how many I have. It seems as though everyone wanted a snowy Christmas or a white Christmas, as they call it.
 My Breeze messengers and my Wind telegrams bring me all the messages that come from the people who wish for snow for Christmas.
 T give all I can-but you know sometimes I simply cannot take care of all the requests. There are too many!
 q sit here in my palace and I direct all the Snow Flake families and as many of the cousins as can and send them out for Christ mas.
 Its lovely to be a Snow Lady and have such requests. And l do have fun seeing that just as many as possible get the snow they want!"

NEW YORK WANTS LONG PIERS.

A problem that is perpexing New York is that of getting long piers in the Hudson so as to accommodate ships of 1000 more feet in length. The War Department has thus far refused to sanction the construction of wharves farther into the Hudson River either from the New Jersey or New York side of the stream. An engineering commission, acting under the direction of port authorities representing the States, counties and cities mostly concerned, has prepared report that it is hoped will reach the hearts of the Army en- gineers. Senator Wagner has declared that if this report fails to win the Army experts to the longer pier plan he will introduce a measure in the United States Senate directly granting the necessary author ity fer the port authorities and steamship com panies to proceed
 The army has contended that the Hudson is not too wide for the commerce that floats its serv- ice as it is and that it would be unwise to curtail

M. C. S. Noble Is IA Years Old Today

Seventy-four years ago to-
day, on the Ides of March in the
year 1855, a child was born in
the village of Louisburg, North
Carolina. His parents observed
the classic lines Of his counten-
ance, and his eloquence when
ever he raised his voice in appeal
or argument, and named him
Marcus Cicero. His complete
name was Marcus Cicero
Stephens Noble.
He moved to New Bern, and
then to Clayton, and then to
Selma.
One of the memories of his
childhood is a conversation with
General William Tecumseh Sher-
man. On its way through North
Carolina Sherman's army came
marching by the Noble home,
and it happened that the head
quarters staff stopped in the
yard for the midday meal. The
General took the boy, then about
10 years old, on his knee, and
they talked. In the line of march,
a little way ahead, was a stream
crossing where the bridge had
been destroyed by the retreating
Confederates, and the General
told the boy that his soldiers
were going to have to rebuild it.
I'VE need some timbers," said
Sherman, 80 suppose we just
knock down your house and

HUT OF FIREMEN
TO BE IMPROVED:
CITIZENS HELPING
Volunteer Company To Beautify
and Equip It's Building
near MOrgan's Creek.
2 ACRES AROUND HOUSE

The fremen of Chapel HiIl
have embarked upon a plan to
equip and beautify their hut
down near Morgan's creek, a
mile south of the village.
About year and a half ago
they bought a two-acre plot on
which was a house. The little
building has been partly fur
nished and equipped. 1t is
reached by turning to the left
from the Pittsboro-Pinehu
highway near Sparrow's filling
station, this side of the creek.
Many of the citizens of Chapel
Hill are contributing to the
present project. 1t is an op-
portunity for people to show
their appreciation of the SER
vices of the volunteer organiza-
tion which stands in constant
readiness to protect lives and
property in the community. The
place is owned by the fire COM
pany; funds provided by the
town government for fire pro-
lection cannot be used for main
tanning the hut and the ground
about it.
The hut serves as a place
where the tiremen may go for
recreation, and it is close enough
to town for the men to be
easily summoned IL they are
needed.
Anybody who wants to con-
tribute may mail a check to the
Chapel Hill Fire Department.
The active members of the
fire company are j. l.. Foister,

make bridge out of it?" Where
at the boy swelled up in anger
and replied; "I'll be dad-limmed
if you're going to use my house
for any bridget well, if you
feel that way about it," said
Sherman, 1--WE won't do it," and
they didn't.
Young Noble grew up in Sell
ma, He came to the University
in the late seventies, and when
he was a senior he wrote his
graduating thesis in Latin. He
entered upon his career as an
educator by becoming a teacher
in the Bingham school, then at
Mebane. In the years that fol-
lowed he was one of the pro-
minent figures in the campaign
for more and better public edu-
cation in North Carolina, and
the states school system of to-
day is the outgrowth Of the pio-
neer work done by the group Of
which he was a member.
Toward the end of the century
he became a professor here, and
he is now dean Of the Univer-
sity's school of education. He
has always been deeply interest
ed in community affairs, and
recognition of his standing as a
citizen came to him a few years
ago in his election to the presi-
dency Of the Bank of Chapel
Hill.

MacNider, Radio Fan
Doctor, Receiving Instrument as Gift
Yields to Its Fascination

DR.. William deb. MacNider
used to say he had mighty little
use for radios. He threw off on
the things, with phrases like
waste of time," interfering
with work." disturbing the
peace" and damned nuisance" "
Then he went to New York
and happened to meet DR.. Hugh
Morgan of Nashville, Tennessee.
They took great fancy to each
other.
Soon after he came back from
New York DIR. MacNider went
to deliver some lectures in
Nashville and was entertained
at the home of DR.. Morgan.
The host, in recognition of the
guests standing as one of the
worlds greatest kidney experts,
served him kidney stew for
breakfast, which the guest ate
with even greater enthusiasm
than is inspired in him by the
sight of the kidneys of dogs,
cats, and other animals in his
laboratory.
A few days ago a radio ar
rived at the MacNider home: a
gift from DIR. Morgan. Now DIR.
MacNider sits by it; turns the
button this way and that, pick
ing up Schenectady, Pittsburgh,
Cincinnati, and other distant
broadcasting stations; and now
and then sits back in his chair,
entranced, to listen to a comic
dialogue, a bedtime story, or
a symphony.
