Tho collector received notieo this morning that hit rncmivu arc after him and doing their beat to make the Caper* White ea*e an embarras ment to him. Mr. White is the gentleman who bean the immortal ratio to the goat* who were skinned nearly two months ago. They wore 16, be is 1. Th* ReUoy enemioe are trying to mak* It even 17. In ao doing they are not scrupulous about putting the collector in bad. They declare that the 1C were re presented by one Icgnl and political faction weren't won* than Mr. While whose occupancy of a room in Mr. Bailry’s big hotel at night and an ha portent position in the pnitolhce by day, have been used a*-a sort of adumbration of th* glory with which tho people of Raleigh invested Mr.I Bailey on breaking up a deal of blind tigering in th* city. And not only tigering, but conspiracy and smugg ling. Uolleeior nancy nan cansa hi woo have gossiped about him liars and sneaks, language that might provoke comment at any other time than dur ing a great war. The collector so indignantly repelled the suggestion that hs gave aid or comfort to hi* hotel guest that for a month the charges ef favoritism lay in State Now those who biennially, or as often as the exigencies demand, fight Mr. Bailey, are themselves after the post office cUrk and are finishing that which they charge Mr. Bailey with having prosecuted but Incompletely. Says He WlU Help *T have many political enemies," Mr. Bailey said today, "but I have W"r"'S^r«5!m^ui^he liquor business in the state. And there is much to break up. So much of it now goes on that our men have mure than they can do. 1 am anxious to know what the state officers in this county and others are doing. I can give them sms tenet if they wish it. The records are hen and everybody can look over them. I am not allowed to tall what they are, but it they want to know those who are paying government license to sell liquor, stamped liquor w’hich under the Unit ed Stales license they have a right to sell if they pay the license, why, they can get this. "I am going to collect anywhere from $10,000 to $26,000 in than# license this year. Of course you un derstand that the government cannot interfere with a man who pays his federal license to sell liquor lawfully matle. But these records ere avail, able for use in the state courts. The situation is the state is very bad. In Wake county my recollection is that only two distilleries have been -aught by tbs county officers. And this was done by a man a few days ago who seeks an appointment in tbo revenue department. He was doing something to merit such an appointment by de stroying a distillery which was run ning in violation of the slate law. "The work is so hard and the man are so few in my department that wa cannot do it all. Ooo of my hem men has resigned because he could not afford to do the work required on the expense allowance which is only $660 a year. I have not accepted tut resignation, but It is too heavy for my foreo. I want to know what state and county officers in thia and other countiea are doing to break up this lawlessness- I think what IS true In Wake la typical.” Ssupp td Official Driakiaa The collector began bis epecnal eompaign by requiring that all de puties In bis department refrain from personal drinking. Ho iaaucd an order that waa an sweeping an the wine mean manifesto of the eocretary of the navy. It was the finrt teetotaler k mi ve of the yoar. Both church and secular papers com mended him He put it on the ground that drinking by the deputies was compromising the position of the gov ernment and tome evidence of a violation of the acts nndsr which the sale and manufacture of liquor art abridged. All the deputies In the marshal*! and collector's offices are indicative of renewed lawlessness. It wan expected, and the fact that 1# of the local blind tigers, lap dowt before the federal court did nnl ton since the local department that al least 16 times 16 would not some waj or other get Into the Illicit manufac tore. All the dry bills which hav< recently gone through have bred nan outlaws. Here In Raleigh tha White case li watched with great Interest It li considered highly doubtful that tlu government car get any ease a gains him. When those who are a beget to have been with him in the baal ■m had a ehnnre to tell what par he played In It they dented that hi waa dealing In the business at all They are said to have been on ontl twice. They must swear alike of no at all. These who wish to donate nr low i chain to tha Red Cross Chapter, m use in their rooms la the hint Na tioaal building, wlU please notify Mn B. r.
