The shots which killed Virkula were fired by E. J. White of the border pa- trol, after Virkula had falled to stop his ‘automobile at the command of White and another customs otficer, E. A. Bervine. The latter has been in the | customs service five years, but White was appointed last May 1. According to Virkula’s wife, who was | relurning with her husband and their two children to Big Falls, where they operate a restaurant, her husband was | siruck by several shots before he had time to stop the car, which, she said, traveled littis more than a length after the command to halt. The shooting was aone with a sawed-off shotgun. Leath was instantaneous. | i Held Pending Inquiries. i Arrested on a chargs of second-degree | manslaughter last night, White was be- fng held in the county jail here pending | outcome of the investigations. Neither Patrolman would comment on the af- fair. Feeling against White was strong, and his artest previous to the invesuga- lion was interpreted as a precaution- | ary measurc. "Hhie two men have not been suspended srom the Customs Service, but N. A. Linderberg, assistant collector of cus- 1oms at Duluth, has requested a written report as a basis for possible suspension. | According to Linderberg, White and five other new patrolmen assigned to duty at the same time were instructed in the} use of firearms prior to taking their| posts and were told that firearms were | given them for self-defense. No Liguor Evidence. Virkula's body was brought here by the patrolmen. No evidence of liquor | was found in his car, police here said. Two empty bottles were in the car, but apparently had contained medicine. A coroner’s inquest was called today. ‘When informed of the shooting, Gov. Theodore Christianson explained that border patrolling is purely a Federal ac- tivity, except in matters pertaining to forests and game. “Accepting the press reports as accu- rate,” the governor said, “‘I see no rea- son why the State should begin an in- vestigation. Of course, the State can investigate if the county officials re- quest it. “Federal patrolmen are very active along the international boundary,” Gov. Christianson added. “I observed this on & recent trip in Northern Minnesote and Southern Ontario.” SHOOTING REPORTS AWAITED. Border Patrolmen Ordered to Use Guns Only in Defense of Life. i Headquarters of the Customs Service | today were awaiting official reports of the shooting of Henry Virkula by E.| J. White, a border patrolman, near International Falls, Minn. Frank Dow, acting commissioner of customs; Sey- mour Lowman, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in charge of customs, and other officials declined to comment. Customs Patrolmen and prohibition agents are under strict orders from Lowman that weapons must not be used except in defense of life or of the life of a companion officer. The customs forces along the international border recently have been increased in an effort by the Treasury forces to prevent rum running, which this year, according to Treasury officials, will approach that of last year, when more than a million gallons of whisky were cleared from gln‘ldilh ports for points in the United tates.

Byrne of the Galveston Roman Catholic Diocese, who dissuaded several European beauties from enter- ing the pageant through letters he sent them several weeks ago, and waged re- lentless war against the show, declined to comment on the event today. He ad- mitted, however, that he would have his darts whetted and ready to hurl at » later date. ORGAN RECITAL. Miss Marg;;VDavis‘ Will Give Concert Tonight.
