see that vigorous prosecution would
follow in every case.
The raiders visited every section of
Chicago from the exclusive Casino Club
on Iake Shore drive, to the “black
and tan" resorts of the South Side,
and the alley corner saloons, “back of
the yards.”
Persons from all walks of life were
taken to the stations to be booked,
among them being Harry W. Mnger,
former United States collector of in-
ternal revenue for the Chicago dis-
trict. A large stock of liquor was
found in the apartment where Mager
was taken.
So effective were the police tactics
that the price of liquor doubled and
trebled. Probability that the raiding
and arrests would go for naught was
expressed today by lawyers.
Attorney J. McCarthy quoting the
constitution of Illinois cited the fol-
lowing;
“Paragraph 6, Article 2: The right
of the people to be secure in their per-
sous, houses, papers and effects against
unreasonable searches and seizures
shall not he violated and no warrant
issued wftl out probable cause, support-
ed by affidavits particularly decrihing
the place to be searched and the per-
son or thing to be seized.”
“Therefore,” said Attorney McCarthy
“any arrest without a warrant is ab-
solutely illegal. Even the hip pocket is
protected by the word ’person’ in the
constituticn.”
Section 3 of the Illinois prohibition
law under which Chief Fitzmorris is
conducting his “mop up" raids, reads:
"No person shall manufacture. nell,
barter, transport, deliver, furnish or
possess any intoxicating liquor except
as authorized by this act, and the pro-
visions of this act shall be liberally
construed to the end that the use of
intoxicating liquors as a beverage may
be prevented.”
Second offenders, lawyers say, must
be sentenced to at least one year in
prison.

concerned in the later phase of the
ratio negotiations there has been a
confident belief all along that the Paris
government would accept, but even
the most optimistic had not expected
the agreement to come so soon. The
request of the French naval experts
here for a capital ship tonnage twice
as great as that provided in the Amer-
ican plan had brought the negotiations
to a rather critical stage and a long
and perhaps stubborn debate had been
forecast generally.
Details of the settlement effected in
London between Premier Briand and
Ambassador Hnrvey had not been
communicated officially to the arms
delegates early today, but the Asso-
ciated Press dispatches announcing an
agreement were received with general
expressions of gratification.
The result, it was said, would be to
clear the way at last for consideration
of details of the naval program and
perhaps for an early conclusion of the
whole conference.
