NEW ‘SEIZURE’
BE IS HIT BY
COURT RULING
Appeals Jurist Sees
Bar To Issuing a
Search Warrant On
‘Information, Belief*
By S. RAYMOND BROOKS
AUSTIN, Feb. 15.—A legal snag.
, apparently threatens the valid
ity of Itep. liaryr N. Crave*’ "search
and seizure” bill, passed by the
house several days ago, has been
encountered in opinions of the court
of criminal appeals.
The bill’s effect Is understood to
be to seek to make legal a search
warrant issued on affidavit of “in
formation and belfcf” instead of the
present form requiring an affidavit
v! 'probable cause.”
i The derision in the Chapin ca«e. '
reported in 296 Southwestern Re- I
porter is alleged to be the legal ob- !
stacle to the Wiiliaruson county man's i
measure.
This case has controlled opinions |
of the highest Texas appellate court j
since it was written.
In an opinion by Associate Justice j
F. L. Hawkins in the Chapin case, it
was said:
"1 discover nothing in our present
statutes which indicates any pur
pose of the legislature to attempt
a departure from the well-establish
ed holding of the United State*
courts and those of a majority of I
other slates, to the effect that an
affidavit for a search warrant which
furnishes no facts or information to
the issuing magistrate, but merely
avers affiant’s belief relative there
to, does not comply with the provi
sions of our own and the federal
constitution requiring ‘probable
cause’ to be shown. Any statute em
bracing such a departure would most,
certainly be out of harmony with the
federal statutes and decisions on the
same subject.”
The distinction apparently drawn
In the proposed new law also between
a place of residence and the “per
son and possessions” of an Individual
was also said to face a possible con
flict in the opinion in the Odcnthal
rase, in which it was held that an
automobile has the same status a:
any other "possession.’’
Repeal of the searen and seizure
law, a product of the Ferguson ad
ministration, was made the ^ major
legislature objective of the Women’s
Christian Temperance Union through
its joint legislative council for this
, session. Peace officers of the state
also had advocated the repeal of the
search and seizure law, as obstruc
tive to their enforcement of the law.
The present law provides a penalty
for search without a warrant swear
ing to facts tending to show the lew
is being violated, and excludes all
evidence taken without a legal search
warrant.
WEATHER SUMMARY
Bsrometrie pressure was moJer
ately low this morning over the
north-central and eastern rtates. and
, moderately high over the southwest
i rrn and western states. Heavy cloud

EXPERTS TO FIGHT
LOCO WEED MENACE
Loco weed which has caused heavy
losses to cattle raisers all over the
West, from the Lower Rio Grande
Valley to the Canadian border, will
be systematically fought by experts
in charge of pest eradication at the
A. & M. College of Texas.
Cattle that grate on the weed
become emaciated and eventually
loco, or craty. with death resulting
in many instances. A peculiar re
sult of eating the weed is that cat
tle grating on it become addicted
to it as a person might to a drug
and continue its consumption.
The weed is of low, spreading
l «pecics with hairy green leaves and
flowers of different colors, tne
bloom of some varieties being pur
ple. The weed grows in the winter
season, where there is not much
other green stuff available for
grating, and in consequence has an
especial lure to cattle.
The experiment station has asked
,’or an annual apropriation of *30,000
for the next biennium with which to
carry on its program of research in
this connection.
