VALUELESS LAW Friends Honor RiverdaleCitizen HELD CURSE OF U. . ’Senaior King Addresses Graduates of Washington "College of Law. America is cursed with too many use- less laws, Senator Willlam H. King of Ttah, declared at the twenty-fifth an- nual commencement of the Washington College of Law last night in Me- morial Continental Hall. “There are too many laws, Senator King, the reason for o mahy court deci- sions on the sta- tutes is that the statutes are ill con- sidered. The people cannot understand them, a lawyer cannot understand them, and, give the same statute to the courts, no two of them will agree.” Denounces Athelsm. Senator King also denounced strongly modern materialism, explaining that many college graduates finished their education with no thought of God or .religion. “It is time to call a halt to the pernicious principles and propaganda 100 often found in big universities of this country,” he declared. “This is & Christian country founded on Christian principles and 1.dissent from the teach- ing of athelsm, false philosophles that are destructive to our form of govern- ment.” Rt, Rev. Mgr. P. C-Gavan of Sacred Heart Church opened the exercises vith an invocation. Dean Emma M. illett introduced Senator King.

Admiral F. T. Bowles, United States Navy, testified for the prosecution at the Morse trial today. He was In charge of the construction division of the fleet corporation and sald Morse “eagerly” sought a contract to build steel ships for the government at the yards of the Virginia Ship- bullding Company at Alexandria, The admiral sought to discourage Morse, and gave his view that the site was not suitable. He told Morse that the location of a shipyard ut Alex- andria would be disadvantageous to both Morse ard the government. Witness rejected the proposal to give Morse a contract to build twen- ty-four steel ships at Alexandria, Va He also disapproved an application of the Morse's for a loan. Witness Croas-Examined. On cross-examination the a said he had no resentment against Morse at the time of refusing the contract, or now. He admitted there had been a conversation with Morse at the latter's initiative concerning Bowles' promotion to the manager- ship of the fleet corporation. The witness denied that 'he had asked Morse to use his influence with William G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, to secure the promo- tion for the admiral. Asked why he rejected the proposition to build ships at Alexandria, he stated, it was because of his general knowledge of e business. miral Not Influenced by Conditions. Witness declared that the fact that sary men assembled to build ships and that vessels were actuall launched would make no difference in_his opinion. Witness sald he dtd not recollect a { conversation with Morse in which the Em(mlrnl had threatened to hold up paymenuts of money to the Morses be- cause of their failurc to ar er u letter f Admiral Catts Bi! could not sweur that he had threatened to keep Morse from getting any more contracts, but had no recollection of such conversation. Civil Engineer's Testimony. Mr. Berg, a civil englneer, visited of Admiral Rousseau of the Shippin, |Board in November, 1917, and reported that the site was “admirabl for the location of a shipyard.” Berg sald Charles W. Morse accompanied him in an automobile from Washing- ton, which was driven by one of the three sons. The witness declared, however, that his report was based on his own judgment. Mr. Berg said Morse had informed him that he need- ed no funds from the fleet Corpora tion to carry on the work at Alex- andria On cross-examination K by Attorney Nash Rockwood, the i witness said his memory from the report he had made to the government. The witness declared that Morse at no time had claimed that the title to the yard at Alexandria was perfect and had offered to anchor the steamer Charles W. Morse near Alexandria when the housing facilities in the wwn became acute. Dates of Negotiations, George S. Radford, a former naval constructor, who was in charge of the contract division of the Pleet Corporation during part of 1917 and 1918, testified that Charles W. Morse began negotiations for a contract for the Virginia plant on November 11, 1917, being accompanied by former Representative Carlin of Virginia. On some later visits to the Fleet Cor- noration offices Morse was acoom- panfed by some of his sons and Stuart G. Gibboney of counsel for Morse. Varying proposals as to the number ‘f” :hflps[éo h: built were made, Rad- ord sald, the totals running . thirty down to ten. okl ASKS $15,000 DAMAGES. Mark T.

(., 0.C.CORTRULIG SURPRE T0BAR Judge Hardison’s Decision on Right of Search Held New Turn. Judge Robert Hardison in Police Court today gave & ruling which was interpreted as meaning that a com- mon warrant for disorderly conduct could bestow all rights of a search Warrant on its possessors, after en- try of a house to make an arrest. The ruling was made during the trial of a case against Frank Doye and Allen Payne, colored, charged with {llegal possession of whisky in violation of the national prohibition law. It came as a surprise to mem- bers of the bar. Corridor comment summarized the ruling as apparently contrary to the opinion of any for- mer justice in passing upon that con- stitutional question. During the trial it was alleged that a half-gallon jar, partially filled with corn whisky, was found on the prem- ises of the defendants. Identification of the liquid in the jar, it was al- leged, was determined by the police- men, who sald that it smelled and tasted like corn whisky. The whisky was not offered in evidence. No chemical analysis was offered to show that the liquid contained more than one-half of 1 per cent alcohol. Testi- mony of the police officers was ad- mitted as evidence and it was upon their testimony that the conviction | was made. \ Not Search Warrant. While passing sentence, Judge Hardlson gave an interpretation of rights of poiicemen in searching pri- vate dwellings, ruling that, inasmuch as the arresting officers were armed with a common warrant for disor- derly conduct, they possessed—after entry of the house—all the rights under such a warrant as though it had been a search warrant. The law, based on the Constitution, providing for search warrants for residences, is mandatory that before such a war- rant can be issued there must be affl- davit made under oath that the sale of whisky has been made and Is being made on the premises. The place, person and thing to be searched and seized must be fully described before the warrant is legal or can be issued. The warrant in today's case was not one authoris- ing search of the premises for any- thing. Both defendants were sentenced to pay fines of $500 each or in default to serve six months in jail. Attorney Robert 1. Miller gave notice of ap. plying to the Court of Appeals for a Writ of error and the pa: that tribunal on the merits in the evidence in the case. ALEXANDRIA.
