John C. Lodge of Detroit, and mayors OF
Ecorse, Trenton and River Rouge, three
suburban cities, have pledged cooper
alton of municipal authorities with
Federal agents in efforts to enforce
prohibition and customs laws in this
region. At the same time, however, the
executives called attention to the neces-
sity of safeguarding lives OF innocent
persons along the border.
A resolution was introduced in the
Detroit Common Council last night con-
demning the 'promiscuous use OF nre-
arms" by Federal dry forces on the De-
troit River. If passed, the resolution
Andrew W. Mellon.
Responding to the appeal OF Presi-
dent Hoover yesterday. Mayor Lodge
said, Federal authorities have had
and will continue to receive the COM
plete and whole hearted cooperation OF
the Detroit Police Department in their
efforts to enforce customs and prohibit
ton regulations"
THE lives of abiding citizens and
pleasure seekers must not be endanger-
ed by promiscuous shooting, either by
officers or persons engaged in Illicit
LIQUOR dealings" the mayor added.
Mayor Arnold C. Frutig of River
Rouge, Mayor William r. Teifer Of
Trenton and William J. Goodell, presi-
dent Of Ecorse, echoed the sentiments
of Mayor Lodge.
John r. Watkins. United States dis
trict attorney at Detroit. declared that
rum runners are deliberately trying to
foment friction between the United
States and Canadian authorities by
rumors Of promiscuous shooting by
customs officers and Coast Guardsmen
in an attempt to enlist public sentiment
against the river blockade
Mr.. Watkins urged the public to await
the full facts before accepting rumorS
and said that in all recent reports of
shootings in this district no citizen en-
gagged in Legitimate business" has been
annoyed while on the river.

Hoovers appeal to communities along
the Canadian border TO help the Treas
ury to prevent the systematic war being
waged by international criminals
against the laws of this country" caus-
ed considerable surprise in some quar-
tiers of the borderland today.
OflcialS of cities along the interna-
tional line, as well as in many others
in Northern New York, quickly prom
ised cooperation.
John H McGaulley, mayor of Platts-
burg, near which Arthur Gordon. %
of that city was shot fatally last Satur-
day, said: The City of Plattsburg has
at all times stood ready to aid Federal
authorities in enforcement of law"
II have, within the past few months,
been compelled TO protest to Collector
Tulloch collector of the port of Ogdens-
burg of the Customs Department
against promiscuous use of guns in the
hands OF enforcement officers chasing
lawbreakers through the streets OF this
city and using their guns as though they
were on the open road.
Collector 1ulloch has promised to
protection. Nevertheless, several shoot
ings have occurred since that time. AS
to cooperation, we regard ourselves as
good citizens OF the United States and
SAND willing at any and all times to
aid the President, even without being
requested, in the enforcement of all
laws"

distinct surprise TO residents here" said

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DETROIT, June 10 (N.AN.AD.-One
of the first uses to be made of the re-
suits achieved by the Government in its
concentrated drive to dry up the De-
troit- Canadian border is to lay them
before President Hoover's Crime Com
mission.
The 10 men and one woman selected
by the President for the personnel of
the commission were chosen with one
requirement placed above all others
That they be able to approach the vital
prohibition question unbiased by any
previous commitment on this subject
To enable them to decide whether
the prohibition laws as they stand can
be enforced and their views regarding
the methods necessary for strict en-
forcement, the present mobilization OF
the dry forces of the Government has
been ordered. The Crime Commission
is to be given concrete example OF
the degree of enforcement which can
be achieved with the forces now at
Washingtons disposal. The commits
sion's Judgment on the success or fall
ure of the Detroit drive will have an
important bearing on the subject OF
prohibition.
Canadian Officials Sympathetic.
The result of the drive will have It's
effect in another direction. So far. the
attitude of the Canadian government
has been that the United States must
enforce its own laws without aid from
its neighbor, although many high Ca
madam officials have expressed Sympa-
Thy with the United States Govern
ment's effort.
The demand of the American dele

conference in January for Canadian
legislation to prohibit export Of liquor
to the United States was rejected by
Dominion representatives, but the ques-
ton is not closed one.
Drive Answers Challenge.
Some of the Canadian delegates ex-
pressed doubt concerning the effective
ness of American enforcement. Inc
present drive is. therefore, regarded in
the nature of an answer to the Cana
dians' challenge. Some observers be-
lieve that by showing high degree OF
success in the enforcement drive Wash

Canada and perhaps stop all snug

So far this year there have been
three deaths in the liquor warfare along
the border here and a number of
woundings. An immigration patrol
agent was wounded fatally by rum

runner was wounded fatally by State
troopers near Monroe, Mich, on Lake

Last week a customs border patrol
inspector fatally wounded young man
who was approaching with three others
to retrieve their bullet-riddled boat,
beached a few hours previously dur
ing a chase by inspectors, who f1red
on the fleeing craft. The inspector said
he feared the four would gang" him
and he fired when they did not heed
his commands to halt. The four were
unarmed. This took place at the west
erly limits of Detroit, down river.
Home Breweries Expensive.
But Detroit will still remain wet after
the importing of liquor has been stop
ped if no attention is paid to the brew
cries and alcohol cooking plants in
the city. For this reason it Is be-
lieved that the dry army now mob
ilized also will strike hard at the DOM
este liquor manufacturers.
In the last few months huge under
ground brewerieS, burrowing under alleys
and equipped with secret doors and pam
els. with apparatus and stocks valued at
100000 in individual instances, have
been discovered by Federal agents. More

beer is at present unobtainable in any

What the Government has to con-
tend with here in that regard is illus
