Arrested for Whisky Snug
Cling in Illinois.

| Champaign. ILL.,. April 22.-With the
arrest of w. Il. Bledsoe. a Champaign
Negro it is thought local police on
cials have unearthed a gigantic
whisky conspiracy which extends from
the mountains Of Kentucky northward
to Chicago and including other inter-
mediate points.
Sunday night w. e. Bledsoe. a
Negro taxi driver was arrested
when he attempted to leave tn local
Illinois Central Station with 5 gallon
keg which was taken from an Illi-
nois Central dining car Today police
officials tapped the keg and found
4 contained pure, mountain. dew. Of
tained no federal revenue stamps.
Officers believe that the conspiracy
to haul liquor from Southern points
to Chicago and other markets not
only involves the crews of dining
cars on other railroads having South
ern terminal points in addition to the
Illinois Central. but includes a num-
Der of men In various cities along
such railroads. taxi drivers draymen
and perhaps other railroad employees
in addition to those In the dining car
service.
Additional arrests in the conspiracy
are expected, which will include men
not only in Champaign and Chicago,

as far south as Memphis. Tenn 1t is
alleged that the whisky supplies OF

ASKS GOVERNOR TO BRING
LYNCHERS TO TRIAL.

April 22.-The National
Association for the Advancement of
CoIored People. 70 Fifth Avenue. New
York. made public last night a tele-
gram sent to Governor Robert A.
the Association suggests that all the
power of the Governors Office be used
to bring to trial the members of the
mob which lynched George Robert
son. Negro. on April 2. taking him
from the Laurens County Jail, and
that the State Legal Department pro-
ceed against Laurens County under
the provision Of the State Constitution
exemplary damages of not less than
$4,000 to be paid In such cases to
the legal representative of the person
lynched
The Association in its telegram
states that the suggested lines of
action would deter lynching mobs
and stimulate county authorities to
proper protection of prisoners and
law and order all over the country"
and that due to South Carolinas com
paratively favorable lynching record,
1t believes that the action suggested
oiina than in many other states
The Associations telegram follows:

National Association for Advance
ment of Colored People. speaking on
behalf of three hundred twenty
branches and ninety-thousand mem
bers of both races in forty-two states,
engaged in nationwide campaign
to prevent lynching. earnestly requests
that all power of Governors office be
used to bring before South Caroline
courts for trial wAv~h"~s of mob
which on April second took George
Robertson. Negro. from Laurens Coun-
ty Jail and lynched him for offense
with which South Carolina courts are
competent to deal Would 1t not be
splendid public service If in addition
to apprehending lynchers you as Gov
er direct state Legal Department to
proceed against Laurens County under
to collect exemplary damages of not
less than two thousand dollars tob e
paid to legal representatives of per-
son lynched, as provided by law.
Both above suggested lines of ac-
tion would deter lynching mobs and
stimulate county authorities to proper
protection of prisoners and would
greatly encourage believers in law
and order all over the country. This
seem more practical in South Carolina
than in many other states due to
the fact while for last six years one
person has been lynched each year
In your state, this record Is much
better than in many other states with
large Negro populations. showing
South Carolinas greater regard for
legal processes.
