ents of prohibition, and has even
been criticised by some drys as
going to far. It's critics contend
it violates the Constitution in this
respect.
On Monday the Supreme Court
handed down a decision in the
case of the Go-Bart Importing
Company, which deals with this
very phase of search and seizure,
and, in the opinion of most con-
stitutional lawyers, would apply
equally to what is proposed in
the Howell bill.
Raid On Suspicion
The GO-Bart raid was staged by
Federal agents on q warrant
sworn out ON suspicion that there
was violation of the law. Off
cials of the company were ulti-
mately convicted of conspiracy
to violate the prohibition laws.
They appealed on the ground
that the raid was illegal. and
that their constitutional rights
had been abridged.
The courts decision was writ
ten by Justice Butler, who is
considered one of the conservative
members of the bench. He con
cluded that the action of the
Government agents was "a law
less invasion of the premises and
a general exploratory search in
the hope that evidence of crime
might be found"
Not in all the litig tion
brought before the high court
since the adoption of the Eight.
eenth Amendment has the bench
spoken so vigorously with respect
to the necessity of maintaining
inviolate the liberties against in
discriminate search and seizure
guaranteed by the Fourth Amend
ment.
The consensus among legal
authorities today was that the
Butler opinion dooms the Howell
bill, and that if Washington is to
be made "a model city of law en-
forcement" it must be by some
other method than liberalizing
the search and seizure method.

MUTT EXPLAINS
$4,000 LOAN
To LUCAS
Republican Party Treasurer
Tells Nye Committee Why He
Helped Pay Debt to Bank

Resuming its inquiry today
into the activities Of Robert H.
Lucas, executive director of the
Republican national committee,
in an attempt to defeat Senator
George w. Norris, in Nebraska,
last fall, the Nye senatorial cam
paign committee called Joseph r.
Mutt, national treasurer Of the
Republican organization.
Mr.. Mutt was to explain a $50,.
900 special account for Mr.. Lucas
at the Commercial National
Bank, here, where the regular
party account is maintained:
what he knew about Mr.. Lucas
participation in the Nebraska
campaign, and why he loaned
Lucas $500 with which to pay
the balance of a $4,000 personal
loan" obtained from the bank.
Says He'll Repay Mutt
Mr.. Lucas used part Of this
loan, for which he pledged the
special committee account, to pay
for the literature sent into
Nebraska.
Mr.. Mutt was to have followed
Mr.. Lucas on the witness stand
yesterday, but was delayed be-
cause the committee was com
PEELED to attend the Senate ses'
sion. ,-. .-.
Mr.. Lucas testified he had re-
ceived several offers from promi.
nent Republicans to repay the
loan, but that Mr.. Nuts offer
had been accepted.
Mr.. Mutt sent him a check for
the amount and he sent Mr..
Mutt signed note. He insisted
he intends to repay Mr.. Mutt.
The committee has failed to
break down Lucas original story
of the transaction, to the effect
that his only motive for ordering
the anti-Norris literature secretly
for use in Nebraska, was to keep
the fact Of Republican opposi-
tion to Norris from the Demo
Gratis.
KIan Angle to BE PrObed
Through Mr.. Mutt, the COM
mittee will attempt to show the
fight on Senator Norris was In
reality q national committee
fight. Both Mr.. Lucas, before
the committee, and Mr.. Mutt pub
licly, have denied this
There was some indication the
committee will continue its ef-
forts, thus far unsuccessful, to
tie up reported Ku Klux Khan
activities in the anti-NOrris fight,
with the National Committee,
through the khan bar room
cartoon, used by Mr.. Lucas.
Ralph M. Johnson, bookkeepsr
for the Independent Publishing
Co., here, publishers of the Eel
lowship Forum, khan organ, was
also to appear today.
Charles I. Stengle, editor of
the National Farms News, also
published at the Independent
| Publishing Co., plant, previously
testified the Lucas printing order
was given to him.
Mr.. Lucas, on the other hand,
told the committee Mr.. Stengle
had sought him out and used a
saleSman's argument in soliciting
the order.
The committee, Senator Nye
said, may have to go further into
the khan aspect.

TWO SUICIDES
BEGIN FREAK
DESTINY
Slain Girls Uncle Took Own
Life; Caretaker Repeated the
Act; Poverty Enters Scene

An evil destiny bringing terri
bic death has followed the family
of Beulah Limerick, the 19-year-
old girl who was mysteriously
slain q week ago today in her lit
tie room at 18 Nineteenth St s. E.
For more than a quarter OF q
century such fate has dogged
the family. bringing sudden deaIi1
with it, reducing its members
from affluence and plenty in old
Virginia to drudgery and mis-
fortune in their washington resi-
dence. Is
The tragic year 1902 initiated
the chain of terrible deaths in
the Limerick line when Mrs.
Annie G0ight, aunt of the slain
girl, became the central figure of
. great tragedy.
Two Suicides Begin 1t
With her husband, John Goight,
she lived on a prosperous farm
near Colonial Beach, Va. One
night in 1902, when spring had
come from the South, John Goight
took his own life. ~.
A few months later, a Charles
Henry came to live with the
widow and care for the farm. Six
months elapsed. Then Henry
ended his own life, using the same
gun Goight had turned upon him
self.
A dozen years passed, then
tragedy again invaded the family.
Edna Limerick, sister of the
slain girl, was burned to death in
the family home near Popes
Greek.
The girl had been pouring kero-
Sene on fire; an explosion fol-
lowed, enveloping her in flames.
She died before aid could reach
her.
Falls From a Wagon
Eight years went by. Destiny
then came again on the scene.
Gus Limerick, father of the slain
girl fell from a wagon on his farm
in 1922, when a team of horses
bolted. He died shortly after from
injuries.
In 1928, Mrs. Limerick and the
remaining members of the family
left Virginia, moving into Mary
land. And after a seYen-year sill
ence, the dark magician stepped
once more to the fore, taking Beu-
lah Limerick in death-a death
filled with mystery, sinister irnpll-
cations, horror and frightful sill
ence.
