ASKSPROTECT|ON
FOR WOMEN
Who Ride on Sleepers From
Prohibition Officers Who
Invade Berths
COMPLAINT OF MAYOR

RlcnmOnQ, Va, April 1.-Cnarg-
ing that ''thugs in the guise of Of
ficers," searching for whiskey in
Pullman cars passing through Vir-
ginia, do not hesitate to invade the
sleeping quarters of respectable wo-
men, flashing in their face search
lights and revolvers. P. C. Moore,
mayor of Wilmington, N. c., has
written to w. D. Hines, director
general of railroads at Washington,
requesting protection by the FEEDER
al government against outrages per-
petrated by prohibition agents in
Virginia on the travelling public. In
his letter to Director General Hines
Mayor Moore enclosed a newspaper
clipping, supporting, presumably,
the charges made by himself. In
his letter he not only accused pro-
hibition agents, or men masquarad-
ing as such in Virginia, of outraging
the feelings of women patrons of
Pullman cars, out b1untly charges
that women were having their lug
gage rified by thieves, who stole
what met their fancy from satchels
and grips.
''These dastard1y acts are perpe
trated, I understand, between
Washington and the North Carolina
line,'' the letter reads. "There was
a time when the good women of our
city and nation felt secure while
travelling upon a Pullman car, but
the time is now here when they
must have protector while occupy
ing a berth upon lines controlled by
the great United States Govern
ment. My State and city enforce
the prohibition law, but we do not
permit men, God save the mark, to
violate the sanctity of the home or
sleeping quarters of the womanhood
of the land"
The letter from Mayor Moore was
turned over by Director General
Hines to John Barton Payne, a gen.
eral counsel for the United States
Railroad Administration, who, un-
u0T QdC0 Oh MARCH 20, COmmunlCdL-
ed with Governor Davis, enclosing a
copy of Mayor Moore's letter, ac-
quainting the governor with the
facts. Nothing is doing so much
to injure the good name of Virgin
ia," writes Mr.. Payne, "as the con-
duct of the prohibition officers" !"
The newspaper clipping enclosed by
Mayor Moore to Director General
Hines was not contained in the COM
munication from Fayne to Governor
Davis.
Governor Davis has written to
State Prohibition Commissioner Pc
ters, enclosing copies of the letter
from Mayor Moore and Payne, and
calling upon the Virginia commits
sioner to enjoin upon his men the
| necessity of acting within their le-
gal authority, and that they be pc
! culiarly tactful when dealing with
| women.

Merchants Should Agree on Closing
Hour.

Now that the clocks have been
moved forward the merchants of
Wilson should agree upon some
hour to close their places of busi-
ness. If they require their help to
get up and open by the clock, yet
close by the sun it is not treating
their help with Justice. We should

nights. This law was intended to
save daylight and to enable those
who worked in stores, factories and
offices to be able to work in their
gardens in the evenings.
