PREST -O- LITE “TryaWamAdinme They img AFFECT DRY ACT REPEAL Bills That Nullify Muflan;Gage Law's , Force Regarding Search and Seizure ALBANY.-If Governor Smith signs 'two other measures now before him it makes little difference whether he approves the Mullan-Gage law repeal or not 'The two measures, by As semblyman Louls A. Cuvillier and |. Benator Charles H. Russell, virtually nullify the effect of the state prohibf- tion act so far as search and selsure is concerned. The Russell bill, through an amend- ment of one word to thecivil rights act, taken in connection with the Cu- villler search and setzure bill, tes up the matter of state prohibition ex- forcement in a hard knot. The Rus: sell bill provides that persons \shall instead of \ought to,\ as the law now reads, be secure in their persons, homes and property egainst unwar | ranted search and setzure. The CuyilHer bill provides that any peace officer who searches the prem ises of any person not named in a warrant shall be gullty of a misde- meanor, punishable by a fine of from $100 to $500, and lose his job in addi- tion. Aecordingly, if Governor | Smith signs the Cuvilliet bill, automobilists can carry all the liquor they wish and no officer can stop them and search their car unless he has a search warrant for that express purpose, Bootlegs from Canada could run their liquor with impunity, for It would be virtually impossible for a peace officer to learn of the time of their coming and the contents of their automobiles in time to swear out a search warrant for that express occasion. Police no longer could walk through restaurants and cabarets, sniffing at the contents of glasses on tables uh- less they bad a search warrant for ey- ery glass they sniffed, Homes would be made inviolate without & duly sworn out search warrant based on informatton and belief. Saloons could run without any interference from po- Mce, unless a bona fide search war rant was obtained first. Jahn Doe search warrants, obtained for general search and selzure pur- poses, would be taboo, and the peace officer who violated the terms of the law laid down by the Cuvillier bill would be forced to pay a fine as high as $200 and in addition find himself out of a fob. Virtually the only effect the signing of the Mullan-Gage. law repeal by Governor Smith, provided he signed the other two measures, would be to draw the police off the enforcement job entirely, which would not make much difference anyway, with the Cu- villier and Russell bills signed. 'The Cuviilier measure and the Rus- sell bill have gone virtually unnoticed because of the widespread interest aroused by the possible repeal of the Mullan-Gage act, though it iq declared that as far as practical value in nul lifying state prohibition enforcement is concerned these two measures ave almost as effective as repeal of the whole state enforcement act would be. Advance In Wages The advance in wage scales during the past few months has been great est in the motel Industries, in the manufagture of building supplies and in thefiaper mills, according to a ro- cent report by the New York state de- partment of labor. 'The fewest in- creases were made in clothing fac- tories. \In April, 1922,\ the report reads, \the average weekly earnings of fac- tory workers in the state were $24.14, the lowest average earnings since 1910. 'The continued rise since last April is due In part to the resumption of full time operations in many plants where part time was in effect last year. . \During the year more than $00 of the representative firms reported they had sdvanced rates for all or part of their working forces. Nearly half of these concerns raised wages more than once, so that the number of in- creases was about 500. ~ \At the same time there has b & corresponding decline in the num- ber of reductions In basic rates. In May, 1922, twenty-seven establish- ments lowered rates. This was the largest number of decreases reported for any month during the past year. All decreases have ceased since No- vember. Cuviliier to Face Enright Assemblyman Louis A. Cuvilifer sent the following message to District Attornay Joab H Banton of New York | with reference to the $150,000 slander sult which Police Commissioner Rich- ard E. Enright has brought jointly against City Magistrate Joseph E. Corrigan and himself: \After May 22 I will appear in court, but I will not testify. The only rea- son that I have decided to appear in court is out of respect to Justice Crain.\ - Mr. Cuvilifer also announced that he would appear in Supreme Gegat in Albany and ask for a change of venue from New York to Albany county in the suit brought by Commissioner En- right. In his answer to the sult, which he sent to counsel for Commisstoner Ein right, Mr. Cavillier admits sending a telegram to Magistrate Corrigan in which he renewed the charges he had previously made on the foor of the assembly concerning alleged bootleg graft in the New York police depart mest He claims the telegram was privileged and that Commisstoner En- right has no grounds on which to bese a sult for slander, © Gypsy Moth Tey Balicons Toy balloons found drifting or tan gled in treés should be examined for HMeatification, for they are part of the state conservation commission's war on the gypsy moth.

Denles Paper Case Review A decision by the United States Su- preme Court, declaring itself to be without jurisdiction to review the de cision of the Court of Appeals in the Taggarts Paper Company case, has saved the state $250,000, Attorney General Carl Sherman declared yes-| terday, _ This was the amount of a claim by the paper company against the state, growing out of the appropriation by the state in 1999-0f-+2;897 acres'in the town of Webb, Herkimer county. The statute authorizing the appropriation gave the paper company the option of reserying the spruce timber on the land upon condition the' award for damages should not draw Interest un til after all the reserved timber had been removed. The company cut $476,000 worth of timber and also received a $212,042 award from the court of claims as damages. The award did not carry interest. The company then claimed that the provision of the statute de- nying the company interest deprived it of just compensation for its land, violating the provisions of the four- teenth amendment of the Constitu- tion, Mahoney State Fisheries Head Conservation Commissioner Alexan- der MacDonald has appointed Justin T. Mahogey of Troy superintendent of inland figheries to succeed the late Mannister C. Worts. Mahoney for several years was record and penalty clerk of the commission and his ap- pointment was made after a promo- tlon examination. Mr. Mahoney entered the commis 12 years ago -as a stenographer and by close application has risen to his present responsible position at the head of the bureau in charge of the fresh water fisheries of the state, Must Heed Forest Fire Calls > Persons who fail to respond to a summons of a fire warden to fight a fire are gullty of a misdemeanor and are lable to a fine of $10 to $100, rc- cording to a warning fssued by the Conservation Commission. The fire warden has the power to summon any man eighteen years old or over to fight forest fires. Efficient work in protecting the for- ests has been hampered, the report read, by reluctance of local residents to fight fires at the wages pald by the state. Machold May Quit 'That Speaker H, Edmund Machold may not return to tho Legislature next year became known In the capi- tol, and as a result the state Repub- can leaders are bringing pressure to bear upon him to consent to renom- ination. It was learned that when the speaker was at his home in Wa- tertown he was asked If he would ac- cept a renominaffon. He replied that he would not reach a decision for rome time. Inasmuch as the speaker Is regard: 4 as the outstanding figure in the Republican party of this state at this time, the uncertainty regarding his future plans caused not a little uneasiness among his Republican col- leagues. It was known that last year, owing to business, the speaker was inclined to forego his legislative ca- reer, but was prevailed upon to stand for re-election on the plea that he would be necessary to ald Miller If the latter was re-olected. In the event that Speaker Machold does retire and the Republicans win the next Assembly it Is accepted that Joseph A. McGiunies of Chautauqua county will be the next speaker.

NO NEW HIGHWAY LETTING /j High Cost of Labor, Freight Embargoss and Scarcity of Materials the Reasous. Much interest will be felt in the an- nouncement made Saturday by State High Way Commissioner Frederick 8. Greene, to the effect that practically all the new construction of highways planned for the year 1923, will be deferred to a later date., The reasons given are freight embargoes, scarcity of materials and shortage of labor. Work, be states, will in the main be devoted to necessary reconatruction and a few important connecting links of a new construction The announce- ment appears to be justified by exist- ing conditions, but none the less it will be a source of disappointment, not only in Otsego and adjoining counties, but throughout the state. The next road scheduled to be built in this county is the New Berlin-Ed- meston highway. This road was ad- vertised and let a year ago, but the contract was revoked on the ground that the contractor had failed to com- ply with the requirements of the de- partment. This road was at once to have been readvertised, and it is hoped by residents of that section that in view of this fact it may he included in the roads excepted by Commasioner Greene as ''important connecting links.\ There is no assurance, how- ever, to that effect Following the above road in proposed order of con- struction in this county are the Morris- Garrattsville and the Milford-Rose- boom roads, neither of which, it is un- fortunately indicated by the above letter, is likely to be let the present season. The work in this county, which it is evidently the intention of the com- missioner to undertake is the recon- struction of the upper section of the Morris-Gilbertaville and the East Springfield-Cherry Valley roads, both of which are in such condition that immediate repairs are necessary UNADILLA Miss Martha Terry is visiting her sister, Mrs. Elmer Bookout.
