MEN MAY GET DAMAGES.
Can't Search Homes
Section Provides That Dwellings Are
Inviolate Under Certain
Conditions.
^ The national prohibition act for the
enforcement of war prohibition which
has passed both houses of congress
and which will probably become effective
without the signature of Pe^s
iaent wnson, coniams many lutcicsiing
provisions, one of which is that!
any person who is injured by an intoxicated
person shall have a right
of action against the person who unlawfully
assisted in procuring the
Jiquor for the person intoxicated.
Another provision of the bill that
has excited considerable comment'is
that physicians holding a permit may
give a prescription for liquor in a
* v limited quantity. A third provision
is that any room, house, building or
vehicle where intoxicating liquor is
manufactured, sold or kept is declared
to be a common nuisance and that
any person who maintains such a
common nuisance shall be guilty of
a misdemeanor, and upon conviction
shall be fined not more than $1,000

One section of the bill provides that
* . no person shall on or after* the date
A - "when the eighteenth amendment to
the constitution goes into effect manufacture,
sell, transport or possess
"liquor except as authorized in this
.. national prohibition act. The, eighteenth
amendment, which is the prohibition
amendment, goes into effect
in January.
In the language of the bill "any
person who shall be injured in person,
property, means or support ox
otherwise by any intoxicated person,
'or by reason of the intoxication of
any person whether resulting in his
death or not, shall have the right of
action against any person who shall,
by unlawfully selling to or unlawfully
' r assisting in procuring liquor for such
intoxicate4 person, have caused or
' contributed to such intoxication; and
in any such action such person shall
have a right to recover actual and
v exemplary damages. In the case of
the death of either party, the action
or right of action given by this section
given shall survive to or against
his or her executor or administrator,
- j ~-u ? n
and tne amounx so recuvereu snan
be his or her sole and separate property.
Such action may be brought
in any court of competent jurisdiction."
The section having to do with nuisances,
is, fn part, as follows: "Any
room, house, building, boat, vehicle,
structure,, or place where intoxicating
liquor is manufactured, sold, kept or
i bartered in violation of this title, and
all intoxicating liquor and property
kept and used in maintaining the
same, is hereby declared a common
nuisance, and any person who mainj
\ tains such a common nuisance shall
* be guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction ethereof shall be fined not
more than $1,000 or be imprisoned
for not more than one year, or both.
Another section, in part, is as follows:
"An action to enjoin any nuis>
* ' ance defined in this title may be
brought in the name of the United
^ States by the attorney general of the
United States or by any United States
attorney or any prosecuting attorney
of any state or any subdivision thereof
or by the commissioner or his
deputies or assistants. Such action
shall be brought and tried as an action
in equity and may be brought
in anv court having jurisdiction to
hear and determine equity cases. If
it is made to appear by affidavits or
K otherwise to the satisfaction of the
court, or judge in vacation, that such
nuisance exists, a temporary writ of
injunction shall forwith issue restraining
the defendant from conducting
or permitting the coninuance
of such nuisance until the conclusion
of the trial."
Under section 25 of the bill, occurs
the following, "No search war"
rant shall issue to search any private
" * dwelling occupied as such unless it
'is being used for the unlawful sale
of intoxicating liquor, or unless it is
in part used for some business purpose
such as a store, shop, saloon,
restaurant, hotel or boarding house.'*
Under section 33 of the bill is the
following: "After February 1, 1920,
the possession of liquors by any per^
son not legally permitted under this
title to possess liquors shall be prima
facie evidence that such liquor is
?
' ^
Kept ror tne purpose ui uciug 5U1U,
bartered, exchanged, given away, furDished
or otherwise disposed of in
violation of the provision of this title.
. . . But it shall not be unlawful to
possess liquors in one's private dwelling
while the same is occupied and
need by him as his dwelling only and
such liquor need not be reported,
provided such liquors are for use only
for the personal consumption of the
owner thereof and his family residI
. ing in such dwelling and of his bona
i fide guests when entertained by him;
and the burden of proof shall be upon
the possessor in any action concerning
the same to prove that such
liquor w;as lawfully acquired, possessj
ed and used.*'
Physicians may issue prescriptions
for liquor under the terms of the pro!
hibition act. Section seven, in part,
| is as follows: "Xo one but a physician
holding a permit to prescribe liquor
shall issue any prescription for liquor.
And no physician shall prescribe
liquor unless after careful physical
! examination of the person for whose
use such prescription is sought, or It
such examination is found impractic!
able, then upon the best information
obtainable, he in good faith believes
i that the use of such liquor as a medicine
by such person is necessary and
will afford relief to him from some
known ailment." The section further
provides that no more than a
pint of liquor may be prescribed for
the same person within a period of
ten days.

Among other things the letter conj

time the negroes of Blackville con|
