Lord Westbury's death was spec

ing sentiment in the house for
modification of the Jones law, fixing
the maximum penalty for prohibi-
ton violations at five years i'm
prisonment and $4,000 fine. may
translate itself into action at this
session of congress despite the legis-

A group in the house judiciary
committee, composed Of both vets

study of the Wickersham law en-

Of the Jones law is necessary If fed

statements by house leaders that

may force the house to abandon all
measures not already enacted.
The Jones law changes, under
consideration by a judiciary sub
committee, would define casual and

Universal Protest Laid by
Russia to Crusade of

DEFEND CHURCH ORDER
BY EUGENE LYONS
United Press STAFF Correspondent

MOSCOW, Feb. 21.-Official de-
malls that several raE5is, arrested at
Minsk on charges Of participating
in counter revolutionary activities
had been executed, were made to-
day.
The Official denials supplemented
the belief in well-informed Jewish
circles that foreign reports were, if
not unfounded, greatly exaggerated.
Soviet leaders continued to at
| tribute the worldwide protest
against alleged persecution of re-
ligion to the "war preparation"
they say captalistic nations are
making against Russia, and held
that the crusade" has more of a
political than religious nature.
Nothing New
The anti-religious policy of the
SovietS is nothing new. Almost
from the beginning of the Bolshevik
regime, there has been official and
semi-oficial opposition to certain
religious forms.
The closure of churches, arrests
of clergy, and demolition of religious
institutions has been in progress
for twelve years, first On the
grounds that religion was used as
an "opiate' to dull the peoples
senses, and second in the belief that
religious workers were generally
anti-government.
The church openly supported the
White Russian movement in many
districts.
Crisis at Christmas
When the Soviet began its recent
intensified drive toward complete
Specialization of Russia, the cam
paign against religion followed suit
as natural course, and the high
point was reached at Christmas
/ time.
The intervention Of Pope Plus and
the British archbishops happened to
come at a time of seasonal decline"
in atheistic activities, and Soviet
supporters point to this circum-
stance, again, as additional proof
that the real motive behind the for
eign drive is political and designed
to stir up antagonisms against Rus
Sia.
The attitude Of the western world
mas by no means softened the anti
religious campaign, which actually
is an intrinsic part in the major
drive for specialization.

new WEAPON
GIVEN DRYS BY
JUDGE GARvIN
JuriSt Indicates He VIII Let
Bars Down on Search
Warrants.
FULL PROOF NOT NEEDED
Papers viii Be Issued If
Police Can Convince
Him, He Says.

A new weapon for enforcement of
liquor laws in indianapolis was in
the hands Of police today, placed
there by Municipal Judge Thomas
E. Garvin Thursday night.
The judge appeared at the II
p. m. assembly OF policemen in
headquarters with the announce
ment that no longer will they be
required to see actual violation of
the statute to obtain a search war
rant.
His statement was greeted with
wild whoops and cheers by police.
Ethan A. Miles, Indiana Anti
Saloon League attorney, said he
heartily approved Garvin's action.
"Patrolmen must not feel that it
is impossible for them to obtain a
warrant to search for liquor" Judge
Garvin said today, commenting on
his ruling.
Must Convince" Judge
If an officer comes to me with
information and belief that a vio-
lation is being committed, and con-
vinces me that there is probable
cause for the search, the warrant
will be issued" the judge declared.
The Indiana supreme court, June
30, 1927, reversed a Henry circuit
court conviction of James Wallace,
Greensburg, OF possession Of liquor
and use of a still, and in the courts
opinion. Judge G. J. Travis, said:
1T is the consensus of judicial
opinion that search warrant Is
sued on an affidavit of mere belief,
or information and belief, is insuffi-
cient and the issuance under such
circumstances would be without
warrant of the law"
UphOlds Hearsay Evidence
More recently the Indiana ap-
peuate court held that hearsay evil
dence was sufficient for legal is
suanee of a warrant to search for
booze.
Some policemen never asked for
a search warrant, although I am
convinced there have been liquor
violations in their districts" Judge
Garvin said.
when I questioned them, they
told me they believed it was neceS-
sary for them to obtain sufficient
evidence to convict before applying
for the warrant.
That is why I appeared before
the officers Thursday night. The
city courts are behind the police,
but we don't want them to know of
violations, and pass them up.
Sergeant Is Pleased
"The courts and police are going
to follow and enforce the law" he
said.
Sergeant John Eisenhut, dry
squad leader. declared he was pleased
with the judges ruling, under which,
he said. police will be able to make
proper. search and investigation.
Before this, we could see DRINKS
coming out of a house without being
able to get warrant for the place, +"
he said.
Judge Dan V. White, municipal
court. declared the Wallace case
decision has been modified some
what.
Search warrants can not be is
sued ON mere suspicion" he de-
clared. However, a state of fact,
such as that a sober man entered
a house and emerged intoxicated, or
a strong smell of liquor about the
premises. would be grounds for a
warrant"

AGAIN WE HAVE RICHARD
AND LOIS TOGETHER

It has been a long time since we
have seen Richard Dix and Lois
Wilson together on the screen.
''Lovin' the Ladies" gives us the OPP
portunity once again. And that is
about all that is truly interesting
in this talkie. Taken from an old
comedy, Il Love YOU" which Dix
played on the stage several years
back, we are given a lot of foolish
nothingness, that means nothing
when it is ended.
A man makes a bet with another
man that he can take any two peo-
pie of opposite sex, and with the
right kind of atmosphere and con-
ditions, can make them fall in love,
and become engaged within a
month. When the bet is carried out,
the atmosphere and the conditions
seem to work on the wrong people,
and in the wrong directions. Here
is an opportunity for a lot of
humorous complications, and they
are carried out, but it is all so silly,
and so improbable. Dix makes love
to the wrong girl, and the girl he
is supposed to make love to falls
in love with the butler. I forgot to
say that Dix is the male choice,
for the bet. Well anyway after
things are in a mess, and he has
made love or seemed to make love
to all the women in the cast, he
plans to elope with Lois, whom he
