A new step forward in the enforce- ment of prohibition: is marked by pas- sage of the anti-beer bill, Commissioner Haynes said last night in a forma} statement. 3 The act, he lrld strengthens the hands of the proaibition forces in deal- ing with the alleged medicinal prepara- tions sold on the open market and used for beverage purposes, and also limits the activities of “the few physicians” who were ssuing prescriptions for liquor to people not actually requiring it. No embarrassment in the enforce- ment of prohibition,” Mr. Haynes said, “is anticipated from the provision imposing penal liability upon officers searching dwellings without warrants and searching pther property without warrants maliciously and without rea- said to have been seized.

According to a telegram from Rich- mond the machine in which the men were riding was being pursued by a policeman for alleged speeding when it_ran into the train. Sheriff Allison of Fairfax county, Va., stated today that Blundon is un- der indictment in connection with the Leiter case and that he has requested the Richmond police to hold him. —_———— SIGNS GONZAGA BILL.

It will be a very rare case in which, under the act, an officer can be prosecuted on account of the search of other property. Before a case against an officer can be sustained it will be necessary to show not only that the officer did not have a warrant, but that he acted maliciously and without probable cause. “It therefore appears that so long as a prohibition officer has reasonable ground for suspecting a violation of the prohibition act he eannot be pun- ished for searching property other than a dwelling without a warrant. No substantial decrease in the activi itles of prohibition officers is antici- pated as the resuit of the new act, and I am entirely confident that the United States attorneys and the De- partment of Justice are not going to institute proceedings against officers, except in, the case of a willful and wanton search by an officer without reasonable grounds for doing s0.” K.
