I I Reveals Meaning of Amendment. % Representative Fields (Dem., Ky.> reveaied tne meaning of the amendment when he offered a motion to, strike out the words "for sale." He* appealed without result for che sup-1 port of all who believed in Prohibi-1 tion, contending that the law would, be weakened if the words were allowed tc stand. "If you say an illicit distillery may be established in every home,*' he de-, clared, "you kill the Vohtead act." ! The House declined' to follow him I and voted down his amendment, 54 J supporting- it to 90 against. The new search and seizure amendment, as adopted by the House, was" offered by Chairman Volstead, for the Judiciary Committee, as a substitute for the Stanley amendment o. the Senate, which was broader and forbade the search and aeizur? process applying anywhere. As this i-; the weakest proposition which wiV be before the conferees of the House and Senate, the home brewer or disjtiller is certain to b? free from in ' terforencc. | The amendment reads: "That no officer, agent or em jployee of the United States, wbil * ongatred in the enforcement of th> the National Prohibition Act, or any law in reference to the manufacture or taxation of, or traffic in in n toxicating lirnior, shall search anv 9 I private dwelling without a warrant 1 111 ? #>/ i ?i {?

I or both, such fine and imprisonment B in the discretion of the court." j] Proposals to broaden the defini- H jtion of dwelling to include auto- Ij j mobiles were turned down. ; In attacking the Senate Amendment Mr. Vol trad said if it were ; adopted "we might as well quit tryling to enforce any Prohibition law. The object of that amendment \> !clearly to take away from the ofificers the power to enforce it. It (makes it a crimnal offense if they go! and search anywhere, no matter if it is in thr? open field out in the coun > try or smirch a home. It makes it illegal to search an automobile. It makes <t illegal tQ search a man who i?; in the act of violating the law. a right which has always been recognized throughout the country andj throughout England."
