AMENDMENT
HITS SEARCH
BHiREPEAl
Addition Made in Com-
mittee Nullifies Ef-
fect of Measure
House Drys Aver
AUSTIN'. Jan. 29.—'/P.—The so-
called repeal of th® search and seiz-
ure act contended by prohibitionists
to be a hindrance to proper enact-
ment of prohibition was reported
favorable by the house commttee
rn criminal jurisprudence lost
night.
There is considerable disagreement
by members of the committee as to
the effect of an amendment by Rep-
Tientative Petsch of Fredericksburg
voted over the protest of several.
Representative Harman of Waro de-
clared “We are right where we
started when we set out to repeal
the search and seizure law."
Proposed change in thi law to per-
mit any perron peace officer or
state ranger desiring to seize an<-
search a person by detaining the
person long enough to obtain a
search warrant “if the officer has
reason to believe that such search
will produce evidence of violation of
a criminal law” it provided under
terms of the original bill by R*Pr*
tentative Prendergast of Marshall
was frowned on by a majority o.
the committee.
Petsch Substitute
The Petsch substitute reported fa-
vorably by the committee provide?'
that “it shall be unlawful for any
person or peace officer or state
ranger to search the private resi-
dence actual place of habitation or
place of business of any person
without first having obtained a
search warrant as required by law;
provided it shall not he unlawful to
make any other search with the ex-
istence of probable cause.”
An effort by Representative
Craves of Georgetown to amend
another provision of the search and
seizure law to give officers the
right on affidavit of two creditable
witnesses to search a residence of
a man who possessed liquor was
also defeated through the efforts of
Representative I’ttrrh who opposed
giving any officer the right to enter
a private home with a search war-
rant merely on information that the
occupant posresses liquor. The pres-
ent statute permits such searches
where evidence of sale or transpor-
tation is shown. The Graves mea-
sure as reported out by the com-
mittee with the exclusion of the
word “possession” adds to the pres-
ent statute that the “affidavit is
sufficient if made on information
and belief.”
Repeal is Urged
With the reporting out of the
committee room of these two amend- :
ed measures four other bills relat- I
ing to repeal or modification of the
search and seizure law were laid on
the table subject to call.
Pctsch stated he favored uphold-
ing the sanctity of tks home against
unreasonable searches and his sub-
stitute measures were in line with
a recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States that offi-
cers may search automobiles where
they have reason to believe they
are being used for bootlegging with-
out a search warrant.
Representative Shipman of Hamil-
ton appeared before the committee
to urge passage of the Prendergast
and Graves bills saying the pres-
ent search and seizure laws are
“the greatest bulwark for the boot-
leggers in existence today.”

ARCADIA. HARLINGEN
Miss Fannie Brice. Broadway co-
medienne heretofore regarded prin-
cipally as a portrayer of comedy
parts reveals a dramatic talent thiit
| is as powerful as it was unsuspected
and discloses the star as a player of
unuual emotional depth. In the main
however “My Man" now at the Ar-
cadia give to the famous Fannuie
an expansive opportunity to dis-
play her delicious comedy and she
takes advantage of it to the fullest
extent.
“My Man" is a tenderly appealing
story with much of mirth and a tear
i or two—anu through its changing
moods hannie moves with an abandon
and charm which is peculiarly her
| own. She is seen first as an Last
[Side factory worker mother to her
grown sister and her little brothrr
entertainer-extraordinary to all the
girls in the shop whom she delights
with antics at each noon hour. A in~n
whom Fannie first sees at his work
as a muscle-developer demonstrator
in a drug store window is later
helped to a better job hy her and
when he finally asks her hand -n
marriage life stems rosy. The sis-
ter. however is planning to get him.
and the eve of Fannie’s wedding she
finds the tv.® in each other’s arms.
How she succeeds in spite of the bit-
terness of this disappointment—win-
ning happiness and a name in Broad-
way lights—are but incidents in a
play of dramatic power and great
beauty.
