HOWELL BILL GETS COMMITTEE'S 0.K. Dry Measure for Washington Approved by Senate Dis- trict Group. (Prom yesterday 5:30 Edition of The Star.) |* ‘The Howell bill to supplement the national prohibition law in Washington was reported favorably by the Senate District committee this afternoon, with the search warrant section relating to dwellings included as modified by Sena- tor Howell several days ago. Chairman Capper said following the executive session of the committee that the bill was reported out with the understanding that individual members of the committee reserved the right to oppose portions of the bill when it is taken up in the Senate. The bill would give all members of the local Police Department power to enforce prohibition, whereas only 38 members of the force now have that suthority. Search Clause Modified. As modified at the last meeting, the search warrant provision would permit the issuance of search warrants for dwellings where & still or distilling ap- paratus is unlawfully set up or in cases where “intoxicating liquor is unlaw- fully delivered thereto for purposes of sale or is unlawfully removed there- from.” Under existing law evidence of sale is required in order tb obtain search warrants for private dwellings. As originally introduced the Howell bill would have permitted warrants upon | information that liquor was delivered to or removed from a dwelling. The modification agreed to by Senator How- ell inserted the words “for purposes of sale” in connedion with the delivery of liquor. The word “unlawfully” also ‘was inserted in connection with the re- moval of liquor. ‘The committee made another amend- ment to the section dealing with the sale of vehicles taken in connection with prohibition enforcement. One or two minor changes in phraseology were made. Duty Placed on Police. ‘The bill makes it the duty of all members of the police force to inves. tigate and report violations of the na: tional prohibition law or of this meas- ure, and fixes a penalty for any officer falling to comply with this feature of the bill. It also reenacts portions of the Shep- pard law, which made Washington dry prior to national prohibition. A penalty for drinking in public is carried in the bill of not less than $10 or more than $100 or from 5 to 30 days or both. Another section fixes a penalty for person who knowingly permits any :\nl!v.ldlng owned or leased by him to be used as a nuisance within the mean- ing of the national prohibition law without taking all reasonable measures to prevent such use.

By the Associated Press. PITTSBURG, Kans, May 27.—Coal | mine officlals and district officers of the United Mine Workers of America, head- ed by John L. Lewis, yesterday were named defendants in ~damage suits totaling $69,000, which were filed .in District Court here by 23 miners, who charge they were discharged because of affliations with Alexander Howat, leader of an insurgent mine union group. Each petition asks damages of $3,000. ‘The miners claim they are victims of & conspiracy of Lewis officers and coal operators in the discharge of Howat supporters. The petitions further charge that the coal operators have blacklisted Howat adherents, making it impossible for them to obtain work in the mines. The miners also charge that the de- fendants “undertook to extort from the plaintiffs $10 each” in order to have their names removed from the black- list, and advised the plaintifis to pay that amount to the provisional officers of the United Mine Workers of Amer- ica.

HOLSE APPROVES LGENT CARFARE McLeod Bill for School Chil- dren Is Passed by Vote of 21 to 14. (Prom yesterday 5:30 Edition of The Star.) By a vote of 21 to 14 the House this afternoon passed the McLeod bill pro- viding & 2-cent fare for school children in the District of Columbia. This leg- islation was to have been included in the street railway merger bill, consider- ation of which has been indefinitely de- ferred by the House District committee. John J. Noonan, formerly & heavy stockholder in the Washington Railway & Electric Co., has been leading & cam- paign for many months to secure such legislation. Acting Chairman McLeod of the House District committee and Repre- sentative Hull, Republican, of Wiscon- sin led the fight for this measure in the House, emphasizing that the pur- pose was to make the public school educational facilities available to a larger number through removing a financial handicap on poor families, Representative Arentz of Nevada ar- gued ‘n favor of the District and Fed- eral gos “rnments sharing jointly in the cost of providing free transportation for school childern, thus cutting away from the transportation companies any claim on which to base an appeal to the Pub- lic Utilities Commission or the courts or an increased fare for adults and to frustrate any claim for confiscation. Representative McLeod told his col- leagues that in the principal States of the country children in the rural com- munities are transported to school free of charge. He said that the health offi- cer for the District reports that of 67,000 pupils 91 per cent have physical ailments, 22,500 are anemic and under- nourished, 2,030 have orthopedic dis- eases and 2,345 have pulmonary or lung troubles. Twenty-five per cent of the school children, he said, belong to families now receiving aid_from the Community Chest or the Board of Public Welfa He referred to the fact that the ma. Jority ot the children come from fami- ies of Government employes and that the cost of transporation to and from schools is & serious drain on the family income. In reply to questions, he said that the entire cost of transporting school children at the 2-cent rate of fare should not exceed $30,000. The House also passed the Hall bill to postpone the closing of Center M: ket, with a provision that those now occupying actual space in the market shall have 60 days’ notice to vacate after the Secretary of Agriculture has been advised that the site is required for the Federal building program. “The purpose of this legislation,” sald Representative Hall, “is to permit the operators of Center Market sufficient time to make other arrangements in connection with their business and to provide the farmers a market for their goods for the Summer seaso: PAINT, 232 Pee Gee's House Paint—Any Color.
