Roanoke Va, January 31.-United
States District Attorney Thomas Lee
Moore has prepared circular which is
being sent tonight to all Federal and
state officers in the entire Western
District of Virginia, as well as to
other points, desiring Information and
complaint of the Illicit sale of whiskey
IN dry territory. In this circular Mr..
Moore explains that, owing to the de-
crease in the revenues in this large
section, due TO local option. the force
of deputy collectors has been reduced
to three or four men, who are charged
with the duty of discovering and re-
porting people who are engaged in
the illegal manufacture and sale of
whiskey. These officers arc required
TO police at least fifty counties In the
State. and 1t is matter OF utter i'm
possibility for them to properly cover
the territory assigned.
1t has been the policy OF the district
attorney to lend every assistance pos
siblc towards the suppression of the
Illicit traffic but the Federal statute
is revenue measure. and once man
obtains United States licences, the ju-
r1sdiction of The Federal officers ends.
IN some cases the Commonwealth at
torneys OF cities ana counties and the
district attorneys have co-opcrated so
far as was possible to suppress these
violations. State officers as a general
