"STOREHOUSE" RATDED
AT CAMP MEADE SITE
Conditions Bad and Must Be
Summarily Remedied, Says
u. S. Marshal
BALTIMORE. Md, July IL


Beer and whisky by the wagonload are
being dumped at Camp Meade Anne Arundel
County, while county officials and politicians
look on with supine tolerance, according to
United States Marshal Stockham today. De-
claring that he was astounded at the "tr-
ribly deplorable" conditions at the encamp-
ment he asserted that he would take all Of
his deputies to the spot and make wholesale
arrests in an effort to stop it,
The marshals excOriation came after he,
with four deputies and two headquarters
detectives, made a raid last night on the
general store Of Charles f, Zepp, at Oden-
ton, in which $4,000 bottles of beer, besides
the proprietor Charles +, Zepp, and his
clerk, Arthur Bell, were captured.
Never in my life have / witnessed con-
ditons that prevail at that contonment,"
said the marshal as he emerged from an
all-morning session with United States Dis
trict Attorney Dennis.
THE amount of booze that's coming into
Admiral Is astounding,

politicians Of Anne Arundel County" con-
tinued the marshal, but ! serve notice
on them that | intend to clean out that
encampment of every ounce Of booze in IL
and | will have the army officers co-opera-
ton
This is war time, and | do not propose
to be frustrated by a few politicians"
Besides the beer, the raiding party har-
vested twenty-nlne barrels of empty beer
bottles and other evidences which the Gov
ornment agents refused TO divulge. Two
soldiers carrying a package, who were
stopped by the marshal admitted that they
had bott ed beer. The soldiers, according
to the marshal identified Zepp as the man
who had sold them the beer.
Importation Of beer and whisky into the
cncampment was blamed today on trouble
that cropped out at Camp MNade. The
trouble, which at first threatened to reach
serious proportions, was quclled when
group Of six Italians said to be the ring
leaders were escorted back TO Baltimore
under an armed guard.
Thirty Italian workers disliking the pres

The EVENING LEDGER correspondent had

HIS remarks were received with treme,-
