Three Alleged Operators
Caught by Poinsett Coun-
ty Deputies-19 Barrels
of "White Mule"

Jonesboro, March 24.-J. A. Dun
can, Eli Written and w. Mlzell o.
poinsett county, were placed in the
county jail here yesterday by Dep
iuty Sheriff A. G. Roney on charge
iGf oberating still, manufacturing
whiskey and having in their pos.
session a large amount of whiskey
IA short time before day yesterday
morning the Poinsett county Officers
Eswooped down ON the men who were
alleged to have been operating a
lstill, which was located short dis
itanee from Truman, just over the
ICraighead county line. They took
1.-THE still, with a large amount OF
I1nash, and 10 barrels of white mule
The men were brought here for safe
keeping, and while eating q lunch
in a local cafe before they were
Iplaoed in Jail, one of the prisoners
|Gtated to the officer who had them
in charge, there is the sheriff who
ran us out of Craighead county be-
Ieause he made it SO hot for us. y
Fho prisoner referred 10 Sheriff
Johnson, who was sitting across
f he room and who was not known
Ito the officers bringing the prison
crs. The Craighead county sheriff
did not know either of the prisoners
Gr officers in whose charge they
were. The Poinsett officer then in
trCduced himself to Sheriff john
son, and turned the men over to
him, who later placed them behind
the bars. The men will be given a
preliminary hearing later on.
II is also likely that the federal
authorities will issue papers for the
men, This is the largest amount
of whiskey yet captured at one
ime in this section Of the state.
Deputy United States Marshal
Burns brought here yesterday Dock

were arrested some few miles east

prietor. Wednesday hauled the Stars
and Stripes to the top OF the sol
diers' memorial flagpole here, sa-
mted the emblem and in brief
address apologized for having dis
played the flag upside down on his
hotel Monday as distress signal
Mr.. Young previously had ex-
planned that having spent many
years at sea, he knew flag display.
ed inycrsely was a signal OF distress
and that when he raised the Star:
and Stripes in that manner over his
hotel he did so with a view to call
ing attention to the fact that M
was sin distress" because a car
niyal company had pitched its tents
on a vacant square in the rear o.
the hostelry and was annoying
his guests. Appeals to the authori

and the reversed display of Thu
flag was resorted to, he said.
Mr.. Young explained that n
meant no disrespect to the emblem
and when approached by official
Of the legion readily agreed to tn
ceremony which took place Wednes

i
! Baton Rouge. La, March 20
Governor Parker yesterday issued al
appeal to the law officers of Louis
lana to suppress with an iron
hand" the Ku Klux Klans where
they are seeking to supplant The
machinery of justice"
The governor said that when The
, approaching session OF the Louis
Llama General Assembly meets it vii
| be his purpose to appeal to the
| Legislature to have introduced and
passed law making it felony
| for any man to hide behind a
mask to drag the good name Of this
Estate in the mire.
The governor said:
I'm view of the repeated com
plants which have come to me from
various sections of the state, | now
lcall upon all officers of the state to
suppress with an iron hand the evil
|of Ku Kluxism wherever it raises
Its head, and at the approaching
session of the legislature ! will APP
peal to that body in the name OF
|order and good government to enact
q law making it a felony for any
man to hide behind mask to DRAG
1.-THE good name of this state in the
mire, to bring contempt for law and
civilization. Where great evils ex-

Against Mob Action.
81 stand squarely for the protec-
lton of society against evildoers
and undesirables by prompt and
efficient enforcement of the law
Through the courts, and am against
|any system of mob justice in what
ever form it may be presented and
whatever name may be given it.
1--WE have courts to enforce the
law, II they do not enforce it the
Ipeople have a sovereign remedy
1.-THE ballot. We have laws to reach
every form of crime, or if we have
not we have a machinery to enact
them. Nothing is lacking in our
system of government to give every
citizen the protection TO which he is
entitled in the enjoyment of prop
erty rights and the pursuit of hap
piness. If we fail to provide the
law or apply the law the fault is
our own, and we cannot reasonably
protest against what we do or fail
| to do ourselves.
There is no place in Louisiana
for Kh Kluxism, Bolshevism, radi-
Icalism or any other ism that aims
to destroy peace and order. Tho
idea that any set of men may with
limpunity disregard the authority
lof the courts and set law at def
ance in order to correct some evil
or punish some evil-doers secretly
land generally under cover of dark
| ness, is absolutely foreign to proper
