AHO WARRANT MUST PASS TEST Personal Appearance Nece8sary Be. fore Magistrate. Ruling By Sease. Spartaniburg, July -24.-Judge T. S. Sease, in sessions court here this morning, decided that it is unlawful for a magistrate to issue a search war rant on an affidavit unless that afildavit Is subscribed to personally -before the magistrate. The question came up un der a motinon in the case of W. w. 'Rhame, being tried for running a bawdy house. The rural police went to Rhiame's swimming park near the city early one Sunnday 'mornfing with a search war rant to make a search for whiskey, ,which it was believed was being stored and sold there. The oflicer did not at that time 'find any whiskey but they found three cotiples occupying rooms, against whom they made out cases of disorderly conduct, and against W. A'. Rhame, the pr-oplrietor, they made out a case of running a disorderly house and a nuisance. When the state had pit in its testi mony, Deputy Sheriff J. W. 'Becknall was .put uip, by the defense, who te-sti fled that he signed the warrant and sent it to MagIstiate L. K. Jennings; Upon receiving it the magistrate tele phoned Mr. Becknall, who stated over the phone that lie had sgned the war rant and swore to its coiftents. .ludge Sease says that a search war-I rant is too importait a thing to be handled in any .such way and it should be stopped. lie accordillgly ruled out al1l testimony wyhich had 'been secured on the search warrant. There were two cases of violation of the prohibition law in which the de fendants entered leas of guilty. Zillie .Jones acknowledged maiiiinfacturing 'whiskey and asked for merey.

Ques. tioni of Ioralle. Washington, .luly 21.-The board of general omeers ap!ointedl o 1111der take the most wholesale "plucking" .o) ever initiated among the regular army organization will enter at once upon the (lties to which it has belen assigned. The first meeting !will be held tomorrow with Ilaj. (en. Joseph T. Dickman. retired, presiding as president. It was to have tbegun )op erations towards the elimination or demotion of some 2,500 officers today, 'hut was held Ip by the absence of one member. Alembers of the board, which is rep resentative of all arms of the service, were 'greatly concerned in their pre liminary discussions today over the probable effect upon the morale of'the army of the sIselinded sentence now hanging over the head of practically every ofileer in the service with the exception of (eneral Pershing and a baker's dozen' of second lieutenants now in ih lie armly. Congress, in directing that. the ofib eers' corps be, reduced by . anuary I to 12,000, (i(] not include the general officers tif the army in fixing the num ber to be retained In each grade. The !war department, in prepar ing Instrue tions for the "plucking board" did in dlude the general oflicers in so far as retirement of any of the major or ibrigadier generals for physical dis ability would create vacancies and per mit the ap:poi ntment of colonels to general oillcer rang, reducing the num her of sirpius coloniels to that extent. Theier a p'ieared also to be much eon cern among board members as to the view army officers mig t ta)<e of the board': action ih recommending any olier for honorable dis'dharge. Pre li minary investigation indieates that 'probably more than 1,700 offlcerts now on tile rolls must be "separated" from the active service In this way. The board, It is understood, will seek by every means to Impress upon the army and upon the general public the view that discharge under these conditlons in no way reflects upon the character of the service a discharged omcer has rendet'ed and that In a maJority of the cases at least, the army would mich prefer to retain the.e officers' services. Board members are understood to fcel that there is little prospect of find ing many omcers now on the rolls who merit discharge. The nrmy recently cleaned house in itis regard on Ifs own motion and the suggestionl of Gon eral Pershing to congress that.the strength of the corps 'be fixed at 13,500 was based tron. the efforts then in progress to get' rid of unsuitable of flei's in the way congress pieviously had -2rovided through efhiciency ratings and the "Class B" ratings.
