act under federal officers Is pro
ceeding without excessive use of
authority and that as the killing
of Mrs. Lillian De King at Aurora.
Ill- was done by state officers.
there Is no cause for federal gov

airs, do King waa kuied in a
raid on her home when Deputy
Sheriff Roy Smith fired upon her
and state authorities immediately
started an investigation of the in
cident.
Hoover Keeps Ere v
On Federal Officers
- Mr, Hoover feels that .the fed
eral enforcement authorities are
operating uader -stringent orders
as regards . thei luse . of . force In
making arrests for prohibition vK
olations. Since he took office there
has not been a case of any person
being killed by prohibition agents
in the enforcement of the law. The
order, which the -president consid
lvely prevented use of
undue authority, was one promul
gated more than , a year ago by
the treasury. It ordered prohibi
tion, agents not to use their wea
pons except to protect their lives
or to prevent the , commission , of
a felony.

boys -that no change tad been
made in the smoking boundaries
but cautioned them that; Any boy

Superintendent Hug appealed to
the boys to watch their smoking
