RAIDS MUST BE AC
CORDING TO LAW
SENSATIONAL MOVES
Will Refuse To Hear Cases Which
Come In Without the Formality
of Search Warrant.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.—“Dry
San Francisco by New Years.”
With that as their objective, feder

up to a renewed campaign of raids,
arrests and prosecutions—a cam

of open drinking in cafes with the
ultimate aim of making the city bone
dry for and by New Year’s Eve.
As the opening guns in their offen
sive, Rutter’s agents yesterday an
nounced a series of sensational moves
including:
Arrest and prosecution of Harry
Marquard, John Tait and possibly

and possession charges.
Arrest and prosecution of their
managers, floor captains and other
employes on similar charges; and
Arrest and prosecution of all pa
trons of such establishments caught
with liquor before them.
Must Have Warrants.
Asserting that police officers must
keep within the law even while en
forcing it, Police Judge Daniel S.
O’Brien yesterday announced that he
will refuse to hear any cases of liq
uor violations where the evidence
was obtained without a search war
rant.
“I will not only refuse to find any
defendant guilty of violating the state
prohibition law but will even refuse
to hear any case where evidence
was not obtained by due process of
law,” said Judge O’Brien yesterday.
