A MODERN CHRONICLE. The following dispatch was received by The Empire the day after Christmas, the birthday of Him who came to bring peace on earth: BUFFALO, N. Y., Dec. 26—Eugene F. Downey, Jr., aged 27, son of Police Lieu- tenant Downey of this city, bled to death after being shot by Coast' Guardsmen in the cutter 22-45 patrolling the Niagara River for rum runners and narcotic smugglers. Downey and a compaion were in the motorboat known as the Dodge and were suspected of having aboard a load of liquor from Canada. After the shooting, the Dodge was found to be empty. Downey was bleeding profusely when the Coast Guardsmen found him. This is not an account of something that oc- curred in medieval Europe when suspicion was equivalent to conviction and sentence of death. It took place in the United States of America within seven centuries after King John and Magna Carta. And it is not an isolated instance. It is a llnk‘Setara's store as exploratory searches by Pro- in a long and bloody chain of Federal outlawry in the enforcement of the Eighteenth Amend- ment. tion Agents. i (New York Herald Tribune.) Judge Edwin S. Thomas filed an opinion today [Dec. 14, at New Haven, Conn.] in the United | States District Court holding that search and seiz- {ure in prohibition enforcement cases must be in- |cidental to an arrest and must not be the ex- ploratory basis upon which to base a possible ar- rest, and that the Jones Act does not automatical- Thomas granted a motion for suppressing of evi- dence and the return of Setaro’s automobile which was confiscated by the Government.

Even in those days the President’s office force was growing, and his need for office room was pressing. When Roosevelt de- cided to solve the problem by building wings on the White House it was declared by many that it would spoil that beautiful building, and that the State Building, just across the street, with the proposed subwey leading from the White House, would be as convenient for the President as to have his offices under the same roof under which he lived. While the additions to the White House, built! during the Roosevelt tenure, it is now admitted, have added to the beauty of the President’s man- sion, the need for office room for the Executive hgs outgrown the offices provided in the White illegal.” Dr. H.

PHONE 149, NIGHT 5103 RELIABLE TRANSFER 420 Goldstein Building The confession and the discovery of liquor after the search had been started, he said, “merely serve to prove that the officers guessed correctly.” Many Judges before him have held that a search warrant s necessary in cases of misdemeanor, but Judge Thomas, besides holding that even with a search warrant such raids may be illegal, takes | occasion to point out that procedure without a | warrant upon the assumption that the Jones Act | jmakes a felon of the offender, provided he is con- | victed, is not justified. | The Federal penal code describes a felony as an offense punishable by more than one year in prison. | The penalty under the Jones Act may be five years |in prison and a fine of $10,000, but the Jones | Act, according to the opinion of Judge Thomas, may be utilized for the prosecution only of habitual offenders. | “The Jones Act,” he says, “declared that it was} the intent of Congress that only h; Associated Press Photo Dr. Henry Suzzallo, former presi- dent of the University of Washing: ton, will direct a national survey to discover the duties of the federal government toward education.

State of the State, Army and Navy Building. Long ago the needs of the State, War and Navy Depart- ments outgrew the old-fashioned building next door to the White House, that once upon a time was the country's pride. Various bureaus and adjuncts of the Departments whose Cabinet heads are in this building are now housed in other buildings. It is said, however, that it would still take good care of the Executive offices and the State Depart- ment. The old State, Army and Navy Building is of modified French architecture that was popular in Paris a century ago, and there was a good deal of | raving about it when it was erected a few years after the Civil War. It is now generally looked upon, sometimes with approval, as an antique. It is “monstrous” said one writer, particularly when compared with the majestic simplicity of the Treasury Building on the other side of the White House. Yet, inharmonious as it is among its sur- roundings, every suggestion that it be torn down to give place to a modern American building has met with a storm of protest, particularly by those who cherish it on account of historical associa- tions. NEW YORK WANTS LONG PIERS. A problem that is now perplexing New York is that of getting long piers in the Hudson so as to accommodate ships of 1,000 or more feet in length. The War Department has thus far refused to sanction the consiruction of wharves farther into the Hudson River either from the New Jersey or New York side of the stream. An engineering commission, acting under the direction of port authorities representing the States, counties and cities mostly concerned, has prepared a report that it is hoped will reach the hearts of the Army en- gineers. Senator Wagner has declared that if this report fails to win the Army experts to the longer pier plan he will introduce a8 measure in the United States Senate directly granting the necessary author- port authorities and steamship com- commerce that floats on its serv- that it would be unwise to curtail contended that the Hudson is not| Death of “T. p.” (Manchester Guardian.)
