The people of this community are getting tired of such actions on the part of your employees and wonder if We are rapidly approach ins conditions which exist in Rassia. We presume that the usual atate- ment that this assassin was acting within his authority under the law. will be issued"
 District Attorney OConnell in a telegram last night to Tulloch asked: will you cooperate in this matter by immediately directing Officers O'Hara. Coveney. Cheatham and Gregory to be at the courthouse in Plattsburg tomorrow morning? They will be requested to sign waivers of immunity before testifying. but they will undoubtedly be willing to do this if your statement is correctly quoted in the morning papers in which Gordon's death is attributed to the accidental discharge of a rifle by Officer Cheatham."
 While the sheriff of Clinton coun- ty has subpoenas for these officers. O'Connell said. he has been unable to serve them. "All witnesses who can throw any light on the affair have already been sworn except cus- toms officers stationed at Mooers." said the telegram.
 In a statement given to news- papers some time after the shooting. Tulloch was quoted as saying that both Cheatham and Coveney re- ported to him at Ogdensburg that the shooting was accidental" Coveney said, according to this statement that he slipped while pur- suing the fleeing Gordon and pull ed the trigger of his rifle uninten- tionally, wounding the fugitive.
 While Cheatham. according to Tulloch's statement, said he fired &C., cidentally. the district attorney today had different evidence from four witnesses. who testified at John Doe proceedings yesterday. These witt nesses. living on the booze trail" where Gordon was shot. agreed that there were two or three shots" fired. These same residents said they saw two officers pick up something like a body after the firing, loading it in car and drive away.
 Gordon was brought dead to a hospital here by two customs men who said they picked this fellow up about mile from Mooers in the road and we're going back to investi- gate and we'll be back later"
 They did not identify themselves. nor did they return. said Perley Fifield and Frank Agney. attendants at the hospital. during the inquiry. Dr. Edwin Sartwell, of Peru. the coroner. said the customs officers had not yet reported the fatal shoot ing to him. Sergeant Ralph Travis of state police stationed at Chazy, testi- fled that he went to Coveney's home the morning of the shooting and was told by woman who said she was Coveney's wife that Coveney and Cheatham, had shot man at- tempting to run them down." The two had left for Ogdensburg she said.

Plattsburg. N. Y.. June IS P>-- District Attorney B. Loyal O'Connell today awaited a reply from John C.. Tulloch, collector of the Port of Ogdensburg. to his demand that two customs officers under Tulloch hs instructed to tell their story of inc fatal shooting of Arthur Gordon, ce, an alleged rum runner.
 The officers wanted for question ing are Weldon J. Cheatham and F. L. Coveny. stationed at Mooers.
 Meanwhile Gordon was buried here after funeral services in St. Peters church this morning. Feel ing aroused in northern New York over the shooting of Gordon last Saturday morning on one of the so- called booze trails" near Mooers, on the Canadian border. continued to hold its tensity.
 Hot Wire Sent LOwman
 Last night shortly after Seymour Lowman. assistant secretary of the treasury in charge of prohibition, announced in Washington that the death of Gordon was "accidental,' 1t became known that C. s. Johnson. president of the board Of education and prominent banker, had wired Lowman:

 Hoover Studies situation
 President Hoover is giving deep thought to the situation. He had hoped. when he took office, that pro- hibition might be referred to his law enforcement commission and be put aside from public discussion for the next year or two while the country focused attention on bread and but ter problems. The law enforcement commission held several meetings. -,ao tb,t if did mt intend tO he precipitately recommending sweep ing reforms. especially as regards prohibition. and took several weeks recess which expires tomor- row. Meantime President Hoover has asked congress to appoint a joint committee to work with the law enforcement commission on the problem of recognizing enforcement agencies.

KILLINGS
 RESULT IN TABOO
 ON AGENTS' GUNS
(Continued from First Page)

board of education there and a former Rotary club president, has sent telegram to Secretary Low man concerning the shooting at Mooers, which said:
 One of your customs guards shot a Plattsburg boy in the back in broad daylight last Saturday morn- ing. The people of this community are getting tired of such actions on the part of your employees and won der if we are rapidly approaching conditions which exist in Russia. We presume that the usual statement that this assassin was acting within his authority under the law will be issued"
 Shooting "AcCitienta"
 However, bowman issued Cus- toms report which left the inference the shooting was an accident which occurred when customs officer fell and his gun accidentally was dis charged, killing young Arthur Cor don, an alleged bootlegger who was being chased. The affair occurred after customs agents were warned by bowman few days ago to use firearms with great care and delib- eration and only for self defense or to prevent the commission of fel- ony.
 Urge Clubs. Tear Gas
 Representative Fred A. Britten. republican. Illinois, proposed today that prohibition agents be ordered to throw away their guns and use hickory clubs instead.
 The city policeman finds his night-stick more efficacious than revolver and much easier to handle, with no loss of life" Britten said. " hope that bowman will amend his shoot -only-in self defense order by substituting a strong hickory club for every gun now carried by his rum chasers.
 "A rum chaser won't shoot unless he has gun and ru mrunner or bootlegger would never use a gun unless he himself is being fired up- on. for the violator of the dry law does not want to face murder charge under any circumstances"
 Britten said that to equip federal enforcement officers with tear gas bombs instead of rifles, shot guns, and revolvers would be ''saner than the present system used by govern ment agents"
 "A tear gas bomb thrown into an automobile suspected of carrying liquor would act as an effective wea- pon to bring the car to a halt. The driver would immediately pull up the emergency brake for he could not see to steer further. If the ma chine did run off the road or hit tree there would be no loss of life such as now prevails. Tear gas bombs certainly would be preferable to the murderous gun"
 Britten said the majority of kill ings are not in self-defense. Most dry leaders, however. insist that bootleggers and rum runners are dangerous criminals who go armed and prepared to shoot their way 10 liberty if crossed and that govern ment officers must be armed in elf-defense. Few vets in congress have objejcted to arming govern- ment agents
