FEDERAL AGENT ON TRIAL FOR ‘ DOUBLEJ(ILLING Dry Raider Central Figure in Embittered Case in Oklahoma. Kid United Peru* CHANDLER. Okla., Oct. 28.—A double killing in a holiday liquor raid was up for airing in district 'court today when Jeff Harris, undercover prohibition agent, went to trial as the central figure in an embittered case, involving federal and county officials. Harris is charged with murder in the killing of Oscar Lowery and j James Harris, no relation, during a purported liquor raid last July 4 on a farm near Tecumseh, Okla. The men were farmers. Agent Harris pleaded he acted in self-de-fense when Harris, the farmer, procured a gun as the agents approached the farm to search it for liquor. Neighbors, American Legion men and symptfhizers asserted neither victim had been connected with liquor activities, and that the farmer obtained a gun in the belief the raiders wete trespassers. Subsequently the case took on a wider aspect when Randall Pittney, and prosecutor of the dry agents, was indicted by a federal grand jury on liquor conspiracy charges. He charged this was the result of his efforts to bring the federal men to trial. Agent Harris was accompanied by three fellow raiders, two of whom were released, and a third who will be tried in federal court. Testimony at preliminary hearings brought out that no liquor was found on the farm and that th* farmers were shot down after pleading for mercy—
‘OBEY’ NOT IN NEW EPISCOPAL SERVICE Husbands Given Their “Break” in Endowment Omission. P.u Times Porcini NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Prospective brides who are looking forward to being wedded according to the marriage service in the Episcopal Book of Common Prayer, will be delighted to know that .the word “obey” is omitted from the revised edition of the Prayer Book which just has been issued. Their pleasure will be tempered, however, by the fact that a little further on in the service it is to be noted that the bridegroom no longer endows the bride with all his worldly goods. The new prayer book of the Protestant Episcopal Church, revised for the first time since and ratified a year ago as the result of fifteen years’ work of the committee or revision, is now issued with the approval of the custodian of the standard book of common prayer. FREIGHT RATE REBATE ASKED BY RAILWAY Big Four Sues Standard Oil to Recover 5117,600. Suit by the Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago & St. Louis Railway Company for a Judgment of $170,000 against the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, was on file today in circuit court. According to the suit, the Big Four company hauled 2,897 cars of petroleum and products from Woodriver 111., to points in Indiana for the Standard Oil Company in 1924. At that time a complaint was made that the freight rates were in excess of the amount fixed by the interstate commerce commission. As result. $117,603.29 was returned to the oil company by the railroad company. Big Four company officials then discovered the original rate charged was correct, according to the complaint. It is charged that the Standard Oil Company has refused to return the funds. 4.000 AT SERVICE TO HONOR MARTIN LUTHER Four Hundredth Anniversary of Catechism is Observed.

NORRIS TO RUN IN PROTEST AT OUSTER MOVE ! Administration Efforts to Cause Senator to Seek Re-Election. R„ Krrlnnit.nni'-nrd .V rtrgpimcr Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—Senator George W. Norris soon will announce his candidacy for another six years in the senate, the result, it is said, of what he and his friends construe as an administration effort to oust him. Norris wanted to retire from the senate in 1925, but demands of Progressives that he run again were too strong. Until a few weeks ago, it is said, his mind was made up that 1930 would be his last year in the senate. Arguments of his friends and his Progressive senate colleagues were of little avail. Then reports were published that Samuel R. McKelvie, former Governor of Nebraska, and politically unfriendly to Norris, was being groomed to run against him. The reports said that McKelvie’s appointment to the federal farm board partially was with the idea of “building’* up McKelvie so that he might beat Norris, and that he or some other conservative would have full administration support. Norris’ independence reached its peak in 1928, when he supported Governor Alfred E. Smith, Democratic nominee for President against Hoover. News reached Nebraska a few days ago that Norris might be induced to change his mind as to retiring, and an avalanche of letters and telegrams reached his office here applauding him in the belief that he would again be a candidate. There is strong support for Norris among Nebraska Democrats. The Omaha World-Herald, the state’s leading Democratic newspaper, hailed him as “courageous, independent and sincere.” It is believed that the state Democrats formally may indorse him. BANDITS FIRE SHOTSAT TWO Gas Station Attendant and Pursuer Are Targets. Police today continued search for bandits who staged four holdups in rapid succession Saturday night. They held up Ralph Ruddell, 1005 North Pennsylvania street, apartment 115, and took $35. Ten minutes later a Standard Oil Company filling station, Randolph and Washington streets, was visited by a bandit pair and Harry Burgher, 48P1 Winthrop avenue, surrendered S3O. William McClure, 5022 Orion avenue, attendant at an Indian station, 5123 East Washington street, was reluctant about handing over the day’s receipts and one of the bandits fired at him. John Beyers, 4820 East Washington street, who drove into the filling station as the bandits sped away followed them and was fired on. He lost the bandit car. Two men, disguised with Halloween costumes, held up George Roberson, 2153 Sugar Grove avenue, Kroger grocery manager, and took SIOO. GAS THEFTS ALLEGED Accuse Toledo Man of Siphoning Fuel From Automobiles. Thefts of gasoline resulted in the arrest Sunday night of Willie Smith, 23. of Toledo. Police charged him with vagrancy after persons living in the 300 block. West Market street, said the man siphoned gasoline from the tanks of several parked autos.

First, it loosens the germladen phlegm. Second, it soothes away the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes.

STATES UPHELD IN POWERS TO SEIZELI6UOR Search Without Warrants Can Be Legalized, U. S. Court Affirms. Bu Rcrippg-Howard Sewsvaver Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. 28.—The action of the United States supreme court in refusing to review the Bamsey case, appealed to it from the supreme court of the state of lowa, does not mean that the court has altered its attitude on search and seizure without warrant. The court declined to intervene in this case as it was in others which it regarded purely as a concern cf the state. Its ruling in no way affects the traditional position of the
federal courts on law enforcement by federal officers^ The Bamsey case has emphasized, however, that the so-called bill of rights in the Constitution of the United States does not protect the home of a citizen against search and seizure without warrant if the state has legalized such action. States Can Change Law Nor does the bill of rights guarantee trial by jury, free assembly, habeas corpus and other personal liberties where state Constitutions, legislatures and courts have established contrary rules. The home of A. C. Bamsey of Creston was entered two years ago by state peace officers without warrant. A small quantity of liquor was seized and Bamsey was sentenced to six months in a prison and fined SI,OOO. lowa courts upheld the procedure and the United States supreme court was asked to review the case. No Explanation Given The United States court offered no explanation for its refusal and did not give a decision. The court repeatedly has said that no interference is to be atached to its ac-
tion where writs of the sort requested we denied. It therefore is impossible to know on what reasoning the court proceeded, nor can it be said that the court gave indirect sanction to illegal search and seizure. However, Investigation reveals that the court has long been committed to the principle of not interfering with the construction placed by a state supreme court on the provisions of the Constitution of that state, unless those provisions contravene provisions of the United
