international Falls, Mimi, June 81.
-(P)-President Hoover's plea for
full cooperation" Of border cities
residents in enforcement Of the dry
laws has prompted . reply by David
Hurlburt. Koochiching county attor-
ney, and other county and city en-
forcement officers.
Hurlburt. together with II. G. Roys-
land. police chief, and Hugh Reidy,
koochiching county sheriff. issued
statements calling attention to their
cooperation with federal officers In
the past and pledging continued aid.
The county attorney. however,
amplified his statement, to touch on
the recent virkkula killing by Emmett
J. White. border patrolman. and to
charge that smuggling Of Canadian
whiskey into the United States from
Canada in this vicinity was carried
on by higher ups"
Not Fully Advised
THE people In this community"
Hurlburt's statement said, ''feel that
neither President Hoover nor his Sec
retary, Mr.. l,owman, Is fully advised
as to the facts In the case Of the State
Of Minnesota W. Emmett White. We
feel the mass Of Canadian whiskey
which comes into the United States
for consumption. and its importation
or rather Smuggling, is carried on by
higher ups It hardly seems pos
sible that the cost Of getting liquor
from Canada to the United States
and the cost Of transporting 1t to the
larger centers Of population within
the state by automobile would hardly
warrant the sacrifice which the trans
porter would necessarily undergo In
such traffic"
