CAMERON HITS STATEMENT OF SAFETYBOARD Mayor and His A'ds Given Scorching Answer by Municipal Judge. RAPPED AS ‘FLIPPANT’ Charges of Difficulty in Getting Warrants Are Held Misleading. Attacking a statement of Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan and the safety board last week as “flippant and groundless and made with the audacity of the semblance of truth," Municipal Judge Clifton R. Cameron today released a lengthy answer to the charges, and to suggestion that criminal and civil municipal judges exchange benches. Municipal Judge Paul C. Wetter, the other criminal judge, today refused to comment on the proposed change, other than to assert he always had and would co-operate fully with Police Chief Jerry E. Kinney. In an hour and a half conference today Mayor Sullivan, Kinney and Chai-les Myers, safety board president, discussed the proposal to shift the judges, and work of the city investigator with Merle Wall, deputy attorney-general. Judge Cameron’s statement: "I note from your issue of Sept. 25 an article headed: ‘Mayor and Board of Safety in Statement.’ These claims are misleading, flippant, and groundless, made with the audacity of the semblance of truth. The statement contains these words: ‘Under the ruling of the local municipal criminal courts the state is unable to convicts in many cases upon arrest made without a search warrant. These search warrants have been difficult to obtain from said courts, we think too difficult. Because of the difficulty experienced in obtaining search warrants we decided, etc. Upholds His Course “Neither the mayor nor any member of the board ever has asked for the issue of a search warrant from the judge of room three, over which I preside. I never have refused to issue a search warrant where the law has been complied with by any one seeking to obtain *uch warrant. I have issued a number of them and seldom have been reversed on appeal. • I have taken the evidence of each person asking the issue under oath as the law requires, and if probable cause is not sufficiently shown to convince me, that the search warrant should be issued legally, I refused, as is my sworn duty to do. “The issuance of a search warrant is a judicial act, not a ministerial act, therefore it takes evidence, reliable competent evidence, to determine the fact whether one should issue. “There is a judge of the United States district court, three United States commissioners, at least eight or ten other judges, and one justice of the peace in Marion county, each with authority to issue search warrants. All Have Authority Their particular location does not disturb, lessen, or increase their authority to act in their judicial capacity. The jurisdiction inheres in the court and not in the individual judge and not in the building where the judge holds his court. Surely the mayor and board of safety are cognizant of this fact. “After reading the statement of the mayor and his board, it seemed apparent someone was trying to shift responsibility. Then I wondered if we were returning to the practice grown up in England of issuing so-called writs of assistance, originaly by the star chamber, under color of which messengers of the king entered any and all places agreeable to themselves, searched and seized such papers and evidence as their will dictated. “Their justification at that time was the publication of seditious libels, and the end sought the suppression of such utterances. Lord r Camden quickly disposed of this outrage in no soft language, as follows: . x .. “But still it is insisted that there has been a general submission, and no' action brought t try the right. I answer, there has been a submission of guilt and poverty to power and terror of puntshmen 3ut it would be strange doctrine to assert that all the people of this land are bound to acknowledge that ;o be universal law which a few criminal booksellers have been afraid to dispute." House Is Castle “In April. 1766. the house of commons passed resolutions condemning these so-called general warrants. whether for seizure of persons or papers. Chatum tersely stated: ‘Every man's house is called his castle. Why? Because it is surrounded by a moat or defended by a wall? No. It may be a strawbuilt hut the wind may whistle around it, the rain may enter it. but the king can not.’ •Furthermore, the local municipal courts have no rulings different from that of any other court or courts above mentioned, in the issuance of search warrants, as the board of safety well knows, and the mayor surely knows the same fact. The only rule is the provisions of the federal Constitution, and the provisions of the state Constitution securing citizens from arbitrary, unlawful conduct on the part of the federal government and its officers, and securing the citizen from arbitrary and unlawful conduct on the part of the state and its officers. “These provisions not only secure the inidvidual in his person, his home, and his property from invasion through unbridled legislation, but they also secure the individual In his person, his home, and his property from invasion through unbridled, administrative will. “It is of the very essence of a free government that the individual shall be secure in his person, his

home, and his property from unlawful invasion, from unlawful search, from unlawful seizure. The law provides an orderly manner for search and seizure, and prohibits all others. This is the ruling used by ‘the local criminal courts and the only rule used. “Our forefathers with a clearness of vision provided for a lawful search and seizure and supported by oath or information, describing the place to be searched and the person or things to be seized, and in the same setion safeguarded the rights of the individual by inhibiting unreasonable and unlawful search. “Would the mayor and board of safety ask or expect the courts to follow these provisions, as they have been sworn to do? No man can hide and be secure by endeavoring, through loose statements, to mislead the people and place the burden upo nthe courts. They have burdens enough, and ought not to assume the responsibility of believing everything told them by outside hirelings, who even refuse to give the address where they can be found to be required to come into court and face their accuser under oath and when the case is called for trial. Reformers Are Hit Has the time come in our republic, state or city government, that the judges must be mere rubber stamps, used to further the interests of some so-called reformer who oftentimes is not able to reform himself or his own family and not even a taxpayer. “On Page 326, Wallace vs. State, 199 Ind., the supreme court says: ‘The affidavit or that statement under oath or affirmation, in support of probable cause, must bear the countenance of truth, which is so infallible, that either an action for damages, or a criminal charge of perjury, may be legally predicated thereon, if such statement is untrue.’ “All true Americans respect and love our Constitution and appeal to the noblest and best that is in the citizen. You, man or woman, perhaps dread the next few years juat a little, with thoughts of keeping a free government wherein the individual may be secure in his person, his home and his property. “Stop! Stop! Think of the terrible consequences if either or all of these rights should be lost or surrendered. The suffering of the days of Nero in Rome could not be compared to what might happen to us in this machine age. ‘This criticism of the mayor and board of public safety is along the same lines of the bondsmen and police court lawyers who have been made by me to follow the law, and conduct themselves in a manner that bespeaks respect for law, order and liberty.”

MAYOR BEATEN BY COUNCIL IN RICHMOND TILT Vote of 11 to 1 Prevents Move to Retain Works Board. INSULL TIEUP DISPUTE Clash Over Contract for Standby Electric Service. Bu Times Special RICHMOND, Ind.. Sept. 29.—The city council is in complete controi of the affairs of Richmond following the action of the body in passing over the mayor's veto an ordinance which abolished the board of public works. The ordinance, first passed ten days ago by unanimous vote, was vetoed by Mayor Winds jr B. Harris, but the council overread the veto by an 11 to 1 vote. The council charges that the board failed to carry out recommendations for public improvements and other civic matters referred to it by the legislative department. The board is composed of James Peelle, Will Edmondson and Willard Dye. Mayor Snubbed Accompanying the mayor's veto was a request for the council members to meet informally in an effort to re-establish harmonious relations without sacrificing the principles involved. This request was disregarded by council which met within a few hours after a call for a special session had been issued by some of the members. The future policy to be followed in connection with the municipal light plant is one of the chief problems confronting the city and in a prepared statement to the council meeting, Mayor Harris said that, the board of works had not had the full co-operation of the plant superintendent, D. C. Hess. Outside Plan Favored Hess repeatedly has advocated standby service with an outside utility and a proposal for this service from an Insull corporation recently was submittted to the council. In an effort to learn the mayor’s stand, the council voted 6 to 6 on the measure, and in breaking the tie, Harris voted against it. He declared the proposal carried some abjectionable features and his vote, was not to be construed as placing him on record against standby service. Control of the light plant was in the hands of the board of works and by abolishing that body, full control will go to the council. Despite the short notice given a large number of persons crowded the council chamber, and after the meeting hundreds waited to shake the hand of Frank Benn, the council member, voting against the ordinance. A petition bearing several hundred names had been presented shortly before the vote, asking the council to sustain the veto. DEATH OF CANDIDATE ACCIDENTAL IS VERDICI Roy S. Danner, G. O. P.
