REESE BAILEY
ACTIVE HERE!
Identified by Banners Elk
Cashier as Robber; Used
Car Stolen in City

BANNERS ELK, Nov. 6:--By
means of a photograph. j.. M:
Shoemaker. cashier of the Bank OF
Banners Elk, yesterday Identified
Reese Bailey, of Yancey county,
as one of the three unmasked
men who held up and robbed the
Bank of Banners Elk last FRIDAY:
When shown photograph OF
Reese Bailey, Mr.. Shoemaker said
he was positive that Bailey IS the
man who ordered him. to put up
his hands. and forced him into the
banks vault.
Bailey, sentenced to serve from
seven to ten years in states prlS-
on following conviction of hold
ing up and robbing a Buncombe
county rural policeman about two
wears ago, escaped about five
months ago and has been at large
since.
In raid on Bailey's home in
Yancey county October l, last, 1t
is believed that officers wounded
the convict as he again made a
getaway. Mr.. Shoemaker, in DE,
scribing the three men who held
,rp the bank here, said that one
of the men had a bandage around
three of his fingers.
The robbers escaped with ST.
O59 of the banks money. Avery
county officers are continuing
their search, but no additional
clues as to the whereabouts OF
the bandits were made public

BURGESS APPEALS FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT
An Appeal to Judges, Solicitor

An Appeal to Judges, Solicitors
and other Prosecuting Attor-
news, Sheriffs and Police Off
GERS:
The laws of North Carolina
prohibit the manufacture and sale
of intoxicants. There are those
who favor these laws and there
are others who do not favor the
same. However, whatever might
he the opinion of any person re-
parding the wisdom of these laws,
there cannot be properly any
doubt as to the duty of our pub
lie officials to enforce the same
effectively. Since the foregoing
is true, is it not a severe mdlct-
mept of our law enforcement OF
ficers for persons to declare that
said laws are being violated with
impunity? Is not the charge OF
prevalent and universal bootleg
ping in North Carolina a ehal-
lenge to every judge, solicitor,
sheriff and police officer IN our
state?
do not believe that the Tur-
lington Act is being violated as
prevalently as the vets often de-
clare. Repeated charges relative
to the wholesale existence OF
bootlegging is a favorite form of
wet propaganda. n the first place,
the extent to which the Turling-
ton Act is violated is greatly ex-
aggerated often times for the
purpose of causing some friends
of temperance to lose faith in the
efficacy of the prohibition system.
In the second place, exaggerated
statements regarding bootlegglng
are made often times for the pur-
pose of attempting to demorahze
enforcement efforts. Yet, what
ever might be our individual opin-
ion relative to the prevalence OF
bootlegging, most of US will agree
that the burlington Act is not
being enforced as effectively as
it should be; and, without having
any desire to criticize any person,
/ cannot escape the conclusion
that if the burlington Act is be-
ing violated one-half as much as
many persons declare, this fact is
a challenge to every law enforce
ment officer in North Carolina.
1t is my opinion that if the
judges of our superior courts and
the judges of all other courts in
North Carolina would discontinue
the practice of releasing convict
ed bootleggers with suspended
sentences, or nominal fines or in
significant prison sentences and
impose upon persons convicted of
violating our liquor laws substan-
tial punishment. bootleggers would
Immediately acquire increased re-
spect for our courts and the en-
forcement of the burlington Act

TO FACE
LIBEL CHARGE
Court Holds Senatorial
Speech Immune But May
Be Libel if Printed

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. (UP).
1t was George Washington's birth
day and a holiday crowd filled the
senate galleries last year when
Huey Long got up to make a
speech.
Yesterday it developed that the
words he uttered before he sat
down may cost him 100000. The
supreme court ruled Long must
face a libel suit brought against
him by Samuel T. Ansell, former
counsel of the senate committee
that investigated Louisiana poll
tics. Time has BLURRED the issues
in that fight, but it is sufficient to
explain that Long and Ansell were
on opposite sides. No quarter was
asked or given,
In the technical language of the
supreme court, two important rul-
ings were made on the Kingfsh's
oratory:
l. He, like any other member
of congress, can get up in the
senate chamber and say anything
he wants to about anybody with
out fear of. arrest.
2. He cannot print and dis
tribute copies of such remarks.
1t was on the second point that
the court decided Ansell had a
right to try to collect 100000
damages. The suit will be tried in
District of Columbia supreme
court.

Chief of Police Otis Powers
Yesterday revealed his belief that

Bank of Banners Elk.
He had not been Informed at
what time, however, although in
communication with the sheriff Of
Yancey county, that the cashier
of the robbed bank had identified
one of the robbers as Reese Bal
ley. 'a
This would place the escaped
convict as having been active here
in night robberies twice in the
past two weeks.

WASHINGTON, NOV. b. (UP) .
Officials watched off-stage yester-
day as Japan was asked for an
accounting in her stewardship of
the Pacific islands she administers
for the League of Nations, but
later they may insist on admins
tration by another power.
Official comment was declined
on the ground this nation is not
involved directly, not being a
member of the League mandates
committee.
But the government will parti-
cipate actively soon, when the
question arises as to the islands
status after Japan leaves the
league. The United States may
then insist that another power
administer them.
The navy department has been
concerned particularly by hints
that Japan had developed illegal
submarine and aircraft bases in
the low Coral territories.
If the islands are invested with
such craft in time of national
emergency they would constitute
a great danger to the navy or
commerce because they lie mid
way between Hawaii and the
Philippine Islands. They also flank
trade and fleet routes to the Far
East.
Repeated efforts of American
officials to secure permission for
scientists or missionaries to visit
the islands in a free manner have
been evaded deftly by Japanese
officials.
A recent instance was the re-
quest of the American govern
ment to- send some scientists to
the islands on an American ship
to view solar eclipse. The Japa-
nese replied that, they would be
glad to receive the Americans on
a japanese ship, The state de-
partment never has pressed the
matter to a climax however, fear
ing to create international COM
plications.
The United States claims a right
to share in the control of the
islands, as we'll as all other terri
tory taken from Germany after
the war, even though it Dis admin
istered by the League of Nations.
In an aide memoire to Great
Britain only two years ago the
United States asserted that "the
approval of the United States is
essential to the validity of any
determination which may be
reached regarding inundated ter

Ito replied that big ships were
necessary for trade in these is
lands, at least of 5000 tons, and
the harbors had to be made fit
to accommodate them. These ex-
plantations failed to remove sus-
picions among members of the
commission.
Ito informed the delegates that
a United States ship with
scientific mission on board to
study a solar eclipse had not
been permitted to land because
Japan had organized a similar
scientific mission to which all ma
tons were invited, including the

for persons convicted of crime
will tend not only to discourage
repeated offenses but will also
tend to deter other prospective
offenders. ana, / believe that l
speak the wishes of a majority OF
the citizens of North Carolina,
when l appeal to our judges to
impose such substantial punish
ment on convicted bootleggers
that they will experience a revival
in their respect for the courts and
for the rights of society. :,
Likewise, l believe that | speak
the wishes of large majority OF
the citizens of North Carolina
when / appeal to the sheriffs and
police officers to redouble their
efforts to detect and bring into
court al persons engaged in the
manufacture and or sale of in
toxicants and when appeal to
our solicitors and other prosecut-
ing attorneys to redouble their
efforts in prosecuting persons
charged with the violation of our
liquor laws. 1t is not a question
as to whether any solicitor, sher-
iff or policeman personally favors
the burlington Act or not; it is
the law of our state; and whether
any particular public official
agrees with US who believe that
the law is righteous and reason
able, it is the unacceptable duty OF
every law enforcement officer to
be diligent and effective in his eff
forts to enforce the law as long
as it continues to be the law. And,
when persons declare rereatedly
that bootleggers operate in prac-
tically every city block and
throughout the rural sections,
such declarations constitute either
SANDER of our law enforcement
officers or a severe indictment of
the ability, the ingenuity and the
devotion to duty of our sheriffs,
policemen and other law enforce
ment officers.
There are some good and con-
scientious public officials who dis
miss this subject of law enforce
ment with the statement that the
people get that degree of enforce
ment of a law that the people
really desire. In some respects,
there is some merit in this state
ment; however, I cannot see
wherein such a thought can af-
ford any excuse to an indiff arent
officer or any satisfaction to a
conscientious officer. Our public
officials are elected and their sal
aries are paid to enforce the laws
of the state; and the enforcement
of the laws is the primary respon-
sibility of the officers; and no of
tieer should find consolation or
satisfaction in the thought that
the people obtain the degree of
enforcement that they desire; or
that law enforcement officers are
going to enforce laws only to the
degree that the citizens demand
and require As long as the Tur-
ilngton Act stands, it is the duty
of our public officials, from the
governor of the state to the con-
stable of each township, to see
that this law is enforced; and, if
the men that the people elect and
pay to enforce our laws will en-
force effectively the burlington
Act, they will serve the wishes of
a large majority of our citizens
and they will at the same time
destroy the only reasonable argu-
ment that can be urged against
the burlington Act. ia
