ud at 9 p. ma. The Sunday School will meet at a. m. the Industrial world, the faculty of the university has rented a large number of, rooms in the Vandergrift building, Fourth avenue, to take care of these and other departments of the school.

This is a serious drain on the school's resources, because of the rent. In a measure this also is a serious handicap to the efficient management of the institutions, because the Vandergrift building is located downtown, some distance from the main university buildings. Pittsburgh manufactories and business men and the faculty of the school, anxious to help- Duquesne University do its part in the great work of education it is doing, as one of the three great institutions which are helping to promote progress in Pittsburgh, are working with might and main in the Duquesne University million dollar building campaign, as it Is considered vitally necessary to raise enough money to equip the school with another Judge Condemns Liquor Seizures Search Without Warrant Declared Illegal. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.

Federal Judge Garvin in Brooklyn today upheld United States commissioners' decisions that seizure of liquors without a search warrant, is a "clear violation of the Fourth amendment to the constitution." This finding attracted attention from the bar generally here, and was accompanied by much speculation on reports that it largely jwould do away with, attempts to try alleged Volstead act violators on informations and liquor improperly seized. "As the agents of the Government had no reason to believe that any violation had taken place," Judge Garvin said. Vtheir" search of the premises without a warrant and the seizure resulting therefrom was a clear violation of the Fourth amendment to the constitution, and no conviction could be had upon evidence so obtained." Bishop Is Speaker Ep worth League Closes Convention Today. Bishop Francis J. McConnell was the speaker last night at the second session of the twenty-ninth annual convention of the Pittsburgh District Ep-worth League in the Butler Street Methodist Episcopal Bishop McConnell talked on experience, not only as to quality, but also as to quanity.

The new cabinet will be installed at the evening session. Dr. D. L. Marsh will officiate.

Mr. Mace will deliver the address of the evening on "Young People and World Movements." Pittsburgh's great industries have made an urgent call on Duquesne University, the University of Pittsburgh, and the Carnegie Technical Schools for Ltralned men to help maintain Pitts burgh's supremacy as me greatest manufacturing center in the world. An industrial development period, greater than modern time has ever known, is beginning to develop, with the gradual settling back into the'normal before-the-war conditions. I To meet this demand, Duquesne University has founded an extensive school of accounts, finance and commerce, which is attracting a large number of young men anxious to prepare themselves for positions with tha Pittsburgh manufacturing and business concerns. But the university is unfortunate in not being fully equipped in the "vvay of buildings to meet this demand by Pittsburgh business concerns.

Anxious to help Pittsburgh maintain her position in was merely one ot the candidates fighting for the Democratic nomination, and later -sung over and over again at the Cox notification at Dayton, the "O-hi-O! O-hi-O!" song will get its first formal introduction to Pittsburgh at today's meeting of the Democratic women voters.
