State Supreme Court Hands
, Down Important Decision in
Liquor Case If Search Is
; Illegal, Liquor Can't Be Used
As Evidence Opinion Up
held, 4 to 3.
SALEM, Ore., Jnn. 2. Search of tho
person of an Individual suspected of
having Intoxicating liquor in his pos
session by peace officers, except where
such officers are duly armed with a
search warrant or where tho subject
of the search Is legally under nrrest
before the senrch is made, is illegal
and the evidence secured in Buch a
search Is not admlssable In a trial nt
court.
Such is the decision of the Oregon
supremo court, handed down In the
appeal of F. A. McDaniel from the cir
cuit court for Benton county this
morning. . The decision was written
by Justice Plp.?s and is concurred In
by Justice Beun, Rand and Brown,
with Justice Coshow writing the dis
senting opinon with the concurrence
of Justices Burnett and McBride.
The doclsion Is the first pnssed down
by the court on the legality of liquor
searches without warrants.
The case ' involved the forcible
search of McDaniel by officers who
testified at his trial that they smelled
liquor on his breath; that his overcoat
was buttoned awry; and thalj his face
was flushed, and also concerning the
admissibility of the testimony of the
officers and a chemist derived from an
examination of the whiskey seized in
the illegal search. Testimony devel
oped the fact that McDaniel was seiz
ed by one officer .while another search
ed him. Following hlB arrest and
prior to his trial McDaniel filed appli
cation for the return of the liquor, al
leging It to have been Illegally seized.
. In the Justice court the petition was
denied, but it was granted by tho cir
cuit court which held the search Ille
gal. "An officer hns the nuthorlty to
search the person of a man when he
Holds a search warrant issued to him
by a magistrate or he may
search a man who is in his custody by
virtue of a. legal arrest to answer
some criminal charge pending or In
contemplation," says the majority
opinion of the court.
The Coshow dissent holds that the
manner of making the arrest is for
eign to the issue Involved In the trial
nnd that the only and sole issue is
the guilt or Innocence of tho defend
ant. The opinion Is believed to set
a precedent in the supreme court rel
ative to the search of a person.

THEATRE WORLD'
AROUSED OVER
Broadcasting By John.McCor
mack and Lucrezia Bori to
8,000,000 People Empty
N. Y. Theatres Meeting
Called January 26.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2 Radiocasting
hiHtory was much) ltmt night when
John McCormack, tenor, and Lucrezia
Bori prima donna of the Metropolitan
Opera company, wing into the micro
phone of station W'BAP, which was
linked up with mo von other stations In
the east to an audience estimated
from 6,000,000 to 8,000,000. -
It was the first time that Interna
tionally famous artists have broadcast
In this country. It is generally agreed
that last night's audience was the lar
gest ever reached by a purely musical
program, being exceeded only by
some of the radiocasting during the
last presidential campaign.
Theatrical men declared t tin t the
patronage of nearly every theater in
New York was affected although the
Metropolitan opera house, where Miss
Horl Ih one of the stars, reported a
sold-out house with Maria Jorltza In
Keodora.
Only u handful of the biggest thea
trical successes of the season faced
capacity houses, while many estab
lished successes played to rows of
enipt seats. Theatrical men were
unanimous In their conviction that
radio was largely responsible.
"Radio constitutes the greatest
menace that the theater ever faced,"
William A. Bradley, producer, de
clared last night, adding that the the
atrical profession to face the new
danger stood in need of unity, of
action under a "czar" comparable to
Will Hays of tho motion picture in
dustry or to Judge LandlH of the base
ball associations.
Frank Glllinore, speaking for the
Actorb Equity association-of which
he is executlvo secretary, declared
that radio Is "a terrible menace to the
actor." An open meeting of Equity
has been called for January 20, Mr.
Uillmore said, to arouse the theater as
a whulo to concerted action against
the encroachments of radio.

The type of road Is to be a dust

Great Britain Agrees to 10

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. 'Hy Asho

enily see hopeful tendencies in the
New, Year dispatches from Great Uri
tain reRurdinK war debts, although
they have received thus fur no com
munication indicating tho willingness
of tho British government to approve
.specifically indulgent terms for
France.
When shown n story published in
London, to the effect that Great ,Hri
taln hud tiHsured the United . tftates
she would not stand In the way of a
Franco-American settlement on terms
more lenient t hun the Angl"-American
Hffl'flOllKttlt, hiRh offlcht to oC tU0
Htato depnrtment authorized the
statement ttiat no such assurance had
reached Washington either dfficlnlly
or unofficially. At tho same time the
failure of tho British foreign office to
deny that such a suggestion might be
forthcoming was noted with great in
terest. During their recent Intricate
stnges the debt discussions have been
kept entirely confidential, but offic
ials evidently have hoped for some
development to clear the air early in
the new year.
A moratorium for France, which
the London Morning I'ost indicates
would be acceptable to Great IJrttain,
coupled with an arrangepiont for pay
ment which would take Into account
the special handicaps that beset
French finances, might grently ad
vance the move toward a settlement
botween tho United States and the
government at Paris.
There never has been any Indica
tion here that the American govern
ment hoped to bo the sole beneficiary
from nny pnyments made by France,
though officials hero have studiously
avoided any public discussion of the
British informal suggestion that
Great Britain nnd tho United States
take share and share alike In such
payments.
Coining on top of tho British ad
vices tho announcement In France
that "negotiations" actually are In
progress for a Franco-American set
tlement was accepted as helping still
further toward a solution.
ThlH Is the first time France hns
publicly conceded that the negotia
tions which have been going forward
for some months amounted to "nego
tiations," a term which in diplomacy
Is applied only to formal exchanges
designed to accomplish definite re
sults. If Franco Is willing to regard her
conversations with the United States
us formal negotiations, that fact alone
Is regarded as indicating a long step
toward bringing tho wholo question
into the open.
Another thing, such a concession
would seem to put nn end to any
Apprehension that French officials
might be moving toward a repudia
tion of tho debt. Once tlie discussions
have taken on a character of such
formality, it is pointed out, it would
be Impossible for the French govern
ment hereafter to tako tho position
that the debts should not be paid at
all.
