LOWMAN DEFENDS BORDER OFFICER Declares Shooting at Detroit Was Justified—Clancy Findings Agree. By the Associated Press. Seymour Lowman, Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, in a statement today said Customs Patrolman Cox, who shot Archibald Eugster at Detroit, did it “in the regular line of his duty” when rum runners tried to recapture a boat selzed by customs officers. “We have received final report from | the customs agents with reference to the shooting of Archibald Eugster, an alleged rum runner, by Jonah Cox, cus- toms border patrolman,” Lowmafi sal “A customs boat, manned by two cus toms patrolmen, stationed near the mouth of the River Rouge in the city of Detroit. They discovered a rum runner going into the River Rouge and | pursued her. The rum runner had a| crew of four men. The Government boat had two men. Picket Boat Remained. “Just before the Government boat overhayled the rum runner the rum runner was beached and the men escaped into the brush. The customs picket boat had orders not to leave its station, and so one of the customs agents went to call help from the base to take charge of the rum runners’ boat and its cargo of Canadian liquor, leav- ing ane customs patrol agent in charge of the Government picket boat and its prize. “Shortly after that the rum runners returned and tried to recapture their boat and its cargo, and in the struggle that ensued Engster was shot by Cus- tams Patrolman Cox. It was so evident that the shooting by Cox was done in, the regular line of his duty that the| local authorities made no arrest and exonerated Cox from any charge.” Lowman added to his statement a ragraph saying that the Treasury ad not yet received a full report of the case of Border Patrolman White, who shot Henry Virkkula at International Palls, Minn., Saturday night. He said a Teport was in the mails and was ex- pected shortly. Clancy Upholds Cox. Congressional irritation over the use of guns by Federal agents was regarded today as having been alleviated slightly —but only slightly—by the finding of Representative Clancy of Michigan in his personal investigation of the fatal shooting of Eugster. Eugster’s death was the second within & week since the intensification of the Government’s effort to stop liquor smuggling across the Canadian border and aroused considerable unfavorable comment in Congress. Clancy, who de- manded a thorough investigation by the Attorney General and went to Detroit to look into the matter with Repre- sentative McLeod of Michigan, an- nounced there last night that he had found the shooting justified. Cox was absolved of all blame by Clancy and Prosecutor James E. Chenot after one of the slain youth's com- panions on the night of the shooting admitted that they had been attempting to run 35 cases of liquor across the river and had failed to halt when ordered to do so by the agent. The story published by the Detroit Free Press today to the effect that a big combine of Great Lakes rum runners had been formed to thwart the Govern- ment’s anti-smuggling efforts between Buffalo and Macinaw, however, was a matter of considerable interest to mem- bers of Congress and Mr. Lowman. ADVERTISEME! 1 Itls the Best Remedyl I Have Ever Used] Seabrook Woman Says Miller's Herb Extract Is Truly the Medicine Without an Equal. Miller's Herb Extract, the medi-| I | well known for their tonic effect on | the entire system, continues to re- | ceive the hearty endorsement of | well-known people; numbers who were gkeptical at first come back and admit they were astonished at | its quick action. \ MRS. M. M. KELLY, One man remarked the other day that it seemed as though every one in his town was using Miller's Herb | Extract and that he never heard so much praise for a medicine befor Mrs. Kelly, who has lived in Sea brook, Md., for 19 years, says that in all her life (62 years) she has never used a medicine that brought such quick relief as this dne gave her, and like other grateful ones she wants her friends and others to know the true facts that they too may be benefited by this remedy. In giving her statement she said: “For several years I suffered with liver trouble, " pains in stomach, across back, also my side, and due to the irregular action of the kidneys I was up at all hours of the night, bowels were out of order, I was al- ways taking pills and the poison that accumulated seemed to have gone all through my entire system: gas, also indigestion pains caused me great suffering; to make a long story short, I was in & badly, rundown state’of healtly But 1 Ghn trutho fully say that Miller'’s Herb Extract helped me from the very first, and 2 bottles completely banished my old ailments. I have a fine appetite, stomach never causes me any trouble, kidneys, also liver act regu- lar, no_more pains in the side or back, sleep sound all night and do not have a sign of my former trouble. This medicine is the greatest system cleanser I have ever used and only hope my statement will be the means of helping some one else find relief from the above troubles.” It is quick results every sufferer nts and Herb Extract brings re- sults overnight, as thousands of statements similar to the above from teful users indicate. This re- markable preparation contains herbs, leaves and bark that promote gastric juices that is necessary to regular bowel action and insures good health. Hundreds are calling daily to see the special representative direct from the Herb Juice Medicine Co. who has established headquarters at the Peoples Drug Store, 505 Tth Street N.W. to learn more of this great medicine that is bringing health and happiness to 50 many Washington citizens. | THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. €.
