International Falls, Minn.,, June 21 (A—Charges that the smuggling | of Canadian whiskey into the United States across the border in the vi- ing carried on by ‘higher up” men were made today by David Hurlburt, Koochiching county attorney. His remarks were contained in a statement which followed President Hoover's appeal to International Ialls residents and border commun- ity citizens for “full cooperation” | enforcing the dry laws of the United States. The message was the outgrowth of the killing on June § of Henry Virkkula, Big Falls con- | fectioner, by a customs border pa- | trolman, Emmet J. White of Duluth “The people in this community feel that President Hoover has not been fully advised as to the facts in the case of the state of Minne- sota vs Emmett White,” Hurlburt said. “We feel that the act of Em- mett White was not sanctioned by the rules and regulations by prohibition patrolmen are supposed to be governed, and, if fully known to the department, would not he sanctioncd “We feel that the mass of C: dian whiskey which comes into” the United for consumption, re- ceived in large lots and its importa- i tion, or rather smuggling, is carried i y “higher ups.” “The questiom in the instant case does not involve, necessarily, Volstead act, but it does run con- cinity of International Falls was be- | in | which | the | Border Controversy Rages Unabated — New York;“"” “'™ Officers Subpoenaed—Canada Plans Clean-up of Border Districts. trary to our feeling as to the way in | which the legislation should be en forced, namely by inexperienced young men, armed with rmt gunnl and other deadly weapons.” Dry Agents Subpoenaed Plattsburg, N.
