RUCKER HOLDS LIQUOR LEGAL FOR HOME USE Former Prosecuting Attorney Asks Judge Pritchard to Quash Search Warrant. STATE’S POWER DENIED On the theory that there is no power lu a Legislature to assume the authority to punish an individual for keeping a small quantity of intoxicating liquor in hit own home for hla own personal use. Attorney Alvab J. Rucker, former prosecuting attorney of Marlon County, hopes to persuade City Judge Walter i'ritchard to quash a search warrant, which after being Issued and used by the polise, revealed a bottle containing two quarts of whisky in the home of Nicholas Smith, 1526 North Chester aTenue. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Rucker, in the City Court, filed a motion asking the court to quash snd set aside the search warrant which resulted in the discovery of a limited supply of whisky in the home of Mr. Smith The motion was accompanied by an extensive brif in whl?b counsel elaborates upon the theory that a man's home Is his castle and that the "king cannot enter.” BEES BLOW AT LIBERTY. In bis brief, Mr. Rucker contends. ••..Jould the Act of 1921 be interpreted to penalize bare possession in one's bona fide home. It would be clearly unconstitutional. It is against common right, the liberty of citizen, an unwarranted extension of a much abused police power. We need not end do not herein contend as to the validity of penalising bare paeeeeeloo outside of the home but we do say that as to the American home, the iioly of Holies under our institutions from ancient time, such sn abhorrent construction of oppression would be a subverting of every dear and sacred fundamental of liberty and individualism.” The defense claims that the small quantity of whisky found In bis home did not belong to him bat to his mother-in-law. who is 80 years of age. who uses small quantities of whisky for medical purposes. ASKS WHKRF.IN THE WRONG. Mr. Rucker, in his t rlef. asks: "Where in does the keeping of a small quantity of Intoxicating liquor in ones ow n home for his own personal use invade the rights of or injure others? It is Presbyterian, and also the law of Qod, that a man can choose the evil or the better way for himself. Some may say that If the man drinks be Indirectly hurts others, but how far will law and poWe" power go in futile attempts to save souls? Some thing must be left to the will power of the individual and the uplifting influences of the Christian religion. Police power cannot be stretched either legally or effectively to regulate the conscience. It cannot be said as a matter of law that society is Injured by small quantities of liquor kept in the inviolate home It would be too remote. “On the other hand the evils flowing from such an exercise of police power woold be colossal. The home invaded and trampled coder foot; the sancutary Itself subject to pollution and the horrors of the inquisition; a nation of law breakers created and the law a hissing and laughing stock. We conclude that there la no power in the Legislature to assume the authority to punish an'lndividual for keeping a small quantity of tivtoxicatlng liquor In his own tv>ine for bis own personal use.” ATTACKS VALIDITY OP WARRANT. Mr. Rucker then attacked the validity of the search warrant on various grounds one being that Henry Abrams, a local attorney, signed the warrant ss a Jndge pro tem., but 3lr. Rucker claims that the city court records do not show the appointment of Mr. Abrams as a judge pee tern. Mr. Rucker for the first time questions the interpretations made of the IV*CI amendments to the 1917 prohibition law. He proceeds on the theory that the 1921 amendment does not expressly repeal the section of the 1917 act which allows a small quantity of Intoxicating .liquor in the home if purchased prior to the enforcement of the act The court will pass on the motion on next Thursday afternoon, Aug 11.

Fire Wipes Out Abusive Signs in Zion City, 111 . ZION CITY, 111.. Aug. s.—Six incendiary fires early today wiped out Wilbur Glenn Voliva's flaunting bill board denunciations of the “Monkey Heretlca." 'I hese billboards, famous as Zion City's chief slghtseeiug spectacle, were fired by rags soaked In kerosene. The Cre department was nnable to save sny. Each casualty splashed the hand non-Zlonistie church. One called members cf the Grace Missionary Church "Religions bums tramps and vagabonds with less honor than highway robbers.” V J INDIANA ONCE LAVA MENACED State Geologist Sees Volcanic Indications in State. How close did Indiana come to having volcanoes within her borders? This la a question which has been raised by recent investigations made by the division of geology of the State conservation de partment. according to a report submitted by Dr. W. N. Logan. State geologist. One of the prominent geological sea tures of northern Indiana, says the report. is a great arch which extends across the northern portion of the State. This arch of the sub-strata is an extension of what Is known as the “Cincinnati Arch” and is a great fold of rocks made np of smaller rocks Along the surface of the arch there extends a chain of limestone domes These extend in a line from near Kentland. through Delphi and Wabash to Huntington and have been used for lime, crude and ground rock. Beds of limestone near the con ter of the domes ire Id a veriest or nearly vertical position and dip In all directions from the center. Rocks of the main arch and onter parts of the domes are of tbe Silurian age Fossil evidence indicates the rock* of the center domes are much older than the surf see bed rock of the main arch. Should these rocks prove to be as old as they are assumed to be. they must have been thrust upward nearly I.OUU feet above their original position, it Is conceivable, says Dr. Logan, that such a thrust could be formed only by a volcanic plug which, had It reached the surface, would have produced an active volcano In Indiana or. In the event of penetrating all the dome*, a chain of volcanoes extending from Kentland to Huntington. In the opinion of Dr. Logan the cooperation of some public spirited oitixeu is needed In order that a dome may be core drilled to tbe depth at which the volcanic plug presumptively exists.
