MORGANTON, y. c., June "a
After n night of wild ChaSes and false

the National Guard were pressed into
service and a third held in readiness.
a tenacious crowd estimated at 1000
men, which has been searching stead
ily for the past three days for Broadus
Miller, negro assailant of Gladys Kin
caid, was no nearer it's goal this
morning. in the opinion Of Sheriff J.
J. Hallyburton.
Last night was the widest of the
long and tedious search. An open
riot call was sounded in Hickory by
the municipal fire bell after National
Guard troop was called to Morga nton.
and rumor quickly spread about the
Catawba town that Miller had been
captured and was being lynched.
Tense Feeling Exists.
An estimated string of more than
800 automobiles sped out of Hickory
for Morganton. The excitement
caused by such a large crowd from
Hickory renewed the tense feeling of
the MorgantOn crowd. and it was whis-
pered about in street groups that the
negro had been captured and was Sc
GREETED by the officers. That impress
sion, however. was exploded when
about 10 o'clock the two guard COM
panies were sent to Nebo, where a
new rumor had started.
Throughout the early hours OF this
morning crowds continued TO gather
around the courthouse and the
sheriffs office was packed with a
solemn gathering.
Blurred From Search.
Most of the waiting men, eyes
blurred from two nights of sleepless
search, went to bed shortly after mid
night for the first real rest since the
search began Tuesday afternoon.
Mai. Edward Jones, National Guard
officer of Asheville, is in command of
the troops stationed in Morganton.
The Morganton and Hickory COM
panies are on official duty and the
Lenoir organization is being held in
readiness.

VETS PLAN SURVEY
OF PUBLIC ATTITUDE
Will Seek Sentiment on Drive
of Citizens Service
Association.

A survey to ascertain sentiment of
leading Washingtonian and local or
CARNATIONS concerning the Citizens
Service Association was set on foot
today by the Association Against the
Prohibition Amendment, it was an
nounced by Secretary G. c. Hinckley.
The survey will extend to the lead
ers of civic, business and local profes.
sional organizations, including also
local labor bodies.
Groups to BE Canvassed.
Officials of the Washington BOARD
of Trade, Chamber of Commerce, Mer
chants and Manufacturers Associa
ton, Advertising Club of Washington
American Federation of Labor, Rotary
and kiwanis Clubs and other groups
will be requested to obtain an expires
sion of the body on the approval or
disapproval of the. crusade of the Citi
zens' Service Association, now claimed
to have 1000 members engaged ir
informing the police of liquor Law
violations and aiding in other law en-
forcement.
Mr.. Hinckley stated that the purpose
of the survey would be to ascertain
whether the movement has general
public support.
That association this morning re
leased a statement in which Hinckley
charged the organization with being a
rival for appropriately with the Rus
sian Cheka or secret police. He cited
communications received by his or
ganization from John Philip Hill. for.
mer Representative from Maryland
Gen. George Barnett, former com
mandant of the Marine Corps: Walter
ID. Wilcox and others condemning the
movement.
Holds Morale i'm Danger.
"No other law, ever enacted by the
United States. has required such pro
cedure for its attempted enforcement
said Hill. 1T is, of course, the duty
of citizen to report violations of law
of which he has knowledge, but this
particular form of attempt to enforce
the Nolstead act shows that the Vol
stead act Is not enforceable.
"When it takes 00O0 shoppers to
try to enforce n petty police regula-
ton one cannot possibly say that such
Il law is supported by public senti
ment. This form of procedure if
adopted throughout the United States
would cause the repeal of the whole
Volstead law on the first day of the
next session of Congress"
In his letter Gen. Barnett said:
Regarding the uses of spies to as
sist in the enforcement of the Vol
stead law, I can venture an opinion as
to the effect that such procedure
would have on a military service In
the enforcement of any regulation OF
such service. l feel sure it would very
quickly work utter ruin to all morale
and discipline.
II do not think the services are
different from the public in this re
spect. Shoppers and spies are alb
horred, as they should be, in any com
munity and by iniuring the general
morale of the community they do ar
almost irreparable injury to the public
