JUDGE ASSA|LS
HIS FELLOWS

ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. IT.
Supreme Court Judge Eugene
O'Dunne, of Baltimore, is on rec
ord here today as favoring the
publishing the "capitalistic alli-
ances" of judges over the country
''in the interest of renewed conf
dence in public justice"
In a biting denunciation of
fellow jurists who become bank
directors and otherwise "tacitly
allied" with big money interests,
he told the judicial section of
the American Bar Association
that newspapers should take a
poll of judges over the land, and
make public their connections
with money interests.
Judge O'Dunne mentioned New
York and it's revelations of
alliance between organized poll
tics and crime, but said such
conditions we're not limited to
New York city.
He also deplored that judges
are sometimes men more skilled
in politics than in astuteness and
aloofnesS from material ambi-
tionS.

BOWS OUT
AS GAS EXPERT
(Continued From Local Page)

(Continued From Local Page)
yesterday when Counsel Keech
resurrected a report which Peck
made while employed by the CON-
mission last october, and trapped
him.
Mr.. Peck was testifying in sup
port of the company's request for
a maximum gas pressure of be-
tween eight and ten inches. The
report which Mr.. Keech flashed
upon the engineer was one that
Mr.. Peck made previously, stat
ing that a pressure between five
and six inches was the most de-
Sirable.
Chicago Influence Shown
Additional evidence of the
power which Central Public
Service Corporation of Chicago
exercised over the Washington
Company was given the commits
sion during the testimony of
David B. Allen, company dis
tribution engineer. His testimony
concerned the relation of gas
distribution to pressures.
While he was on the witness
stand Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci William A. Roberts produced
IA letters which came from the
confidential file of President
Wood. The letters revealed that
all expenses for additions to the
company's plant and extension
of gas mains were sent to Of
ficials of Central Public Service
for approval.
It is considered probable that
several high officials of Central
Public Service Corporation of Chi
cago will be subpoenaed to testify
at the ownership phase of the
hearing which will get under way
next week.
The probability arose after a
confidential file of George A. c..
Wood, president of the local COM
pany, was turned over to the
Commission, under threat of
subpoena.
These officials include: w. H.
Wildes, executive vice president,
and R. A. Gallagher, comptroller.
of the Chicago corporation.

Twenty four recommendations
for the improvement of the
Alexandria public schools were
included in the report of R. V.
Long, Dean K. J. Hoke. of Will
liam and Mary College, and
Henry Ellis, of Petersburg, who
made a survey. A new 100000
high school at Mt. Vernon and
Luray Avenues, abandonment of
Washington Academy on South
Washington Street, strict enforce
ment of the compulsory school
laws, and painting of the school
buildings by janitors instead of
by contract are urged in the re-
port.
The committee sponsored aboli-
ton of military training in the
two high schools except as part
of physical training.
The report in several instances
went further than that of DR..
Critchley, of Columbia University,
who made a similar survey last
spring. 1t deplored the great
turnover among the faculties of
the schools and urged employ
ment of only experienced teach,
erS.
The city school board last

State superintendent of Schools
Sydney 3. Hall and will today
submit a copy to the city council.

TAFT DECISION
IN OPPOSITION
RECALLED
WoodcoCk, Prohibition Bureau
Chief, Loath to Antagonize
Public by Invasion of Homes

No change in the Federal pro-
hibition bureaus policy of raiding
private dwellings only with search
warrants, will result from the de-
cision of the U. S. Circuit Court Of
Appeals at st. Louis sanctioning
Warrantless raids, it was learned
today.
Officials called attention that
In 1928 the late Chief Justice Will
liam Howard Taft wrote a decision
which provided in effect that "a
mans home is his CASTLE" and
that 1T may not be entered with
out q search warrant by officers.
Against WOOdcOck Policy
This has fixed the policy of the
Federal enforcement bureau since
that time. 1t was said to be doubt
tul the system would be changed
even without the Supreme Court
decision in view of the fact that
It has been the policy of Commis-
gloner Amos w. w. Woodcock to
try to enforce the law without an
tagonizing the public
Woodcock has found this policy
effective. Raiding private homes
except where there is real evidence
Of commercial violations always
has been considered of hazardous
value.
Must Have Proof
Legal experts said that though
a man may be observed through
the window of his dwelling max
ing what appears to be home
brew a search warrant cannot be
obtained unless it can be shown
that the product is of an alcoholic
content Of greater than one-half
of l per cent.
This protects, so far as the
Federal Government is concerned,
private dwellings from invasion
even though the occupant may
actually be violating the law by
making beer, wine or liquors for
his own consumption. In many
States, however, local authorities
may make raids, under the law,
without warrants in the enforce
ment of state prohibition laws.
In the case of non-residential
buildings raids may be conducted
by the Federal authorities where
officers have reasonable evidence
that a violation of the law is be-
ing committed.
