THE MOItXING OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY, -AUGUST 24, 1920 WM N lAWK Vt S LID DH HOME BREVV Maker of Amateur Beer Has No Escape. 7 ISdore Days 4". N. . . TV - - , Seven Days of Intensive Selling All Over the Store 18, ----- LOOPHOLE IN U. S. ACT QnestionableChetlier Federal Of ficers May Search House Wltb y out Warrant for Arrest. Though there Is serious question as to the right of the federal govern ment to Invade the sanctity of a home with a warrant for the arrest of the brewer of a few Quarts of amateur beer, the state law leaves no loophole In Oregon for the escape of the mixer of hops and malt, even though the beverage Is Intended only for home consumption. Commenting on the Instructions of Robert C. Saunders, United States at torney at Seattle, to prohibition agents to make no raids on private residences unless they had absolute proof that unlawful sales were being made. United States Attorney Hum phreys of Portland declared yester day that the arm of the federal gov ernment was not very effective against the home brewer, but that he could be reached easily under state laws of Oregon. ' State Act Ironclad. Earl F. Bernard, deputy state dis trict attorney, turned to the "bone dry" act of the 1917 legislature yes terday and read the provision making It unlawful for "any person to receive, import, possess, transport, deliver, manufacture, sell, give' away, or bar ter any intoxicating liquor within this state." The only exception as to possession was the possession, of liquor lawfully acquired before the passage of that act. "The federal prohibition act speci fically says that no search warrant can be issued affecting a private dwelling unless it is based on an af fidavit that Intoxicating liquor is being sold there," asserted United States Attorney Humphreys. "It is my interpretation of the law that a home being used as a distillery no longer is a private residence and is not embraced in this ruling." U. S. Doesn't Reach Home. As the maintenance of a distillery Includes the use of a condensery, which brewing of horns beer does not, Mr. Humphreys conceded that the law of the United States scarcely could touch the home brewer, though his activities might not be approved by the spirit of the act. There is a ray of hope for the brewer, nevertheless. It was furnished yesterday by a leading member of the Multnomah bench, whose personal In clinations lie along prohibition lines. "All laws can only be enforced within reason," he commented. "Too atrict an attack on the sovereignty of a man's home and his personal liberty would never be successful .....o is noi a jury in the land which would convict a man of violation of federal or state prohibition acts when the evidence in his case snowed . XV a cncocted a few "UU1" DI oeer lor personal use. The law may deny him the right but the average Juror never would." MINISTER ESCAPES TURKS REV. AV, C. RAMBO AXD WIFE T7XDER FIRE SEVERAL DATS.

It seems that since June 20 and ni to recently Mr. and Mrs. Rambo hav( been almost constantly under fire with 16 other near-east relief work era In Adana.

TVs T. i - .o .crciicn were acie to secure 100a oniy Dy foraging parties to near 10 line ana vineyards or by sendi heavily armed motor tran Mersina. Both these methods cost heavily in the lives of French sol filers. Other reports received at the local near-east office indicate great con gestion of refugee In Constantinople. A letter dated July 14 from Dr. and James P. McNaughton, known to many in Portland, states that as a result of the nationalists' guerilla warfare thousands of poor people have fled from their towns and villages and have come to Constantinople, greatly aggravating conditions already des perate. On account of great fires during the last ten years there are 50,000 bouses less than at normal times. The housing problem Is most acute. Many of the refugees sleep In the open. The missionaries are now aid ing in more or less degree nearly 40,000 people. also $17,500 FEE IS SOUGHT C. T. Haas Asks Pay for Services to Mary Roclfs Estate.
