SAYS PAPERS ADVISE
BREAKING THE LAWS
No Right to Interfere With
Others, Asserts BurreU.

New York's newspapers. magistrates

original sin share responsibility for ths
crime wave now "scourging the city,
said the Rev. DR.. David James Burrell.
minister of the Marble Collegiate Church.
In his sermon yesterday morning. d..
Burrell discoursed upon the blue laws.
and in his capacity as president of the
Anti-Saloon League and of the Sabbath
Alliance declared that there were no
such things. after ALL as blue laws.
''It cannot be emphasized too strong
ly," he said. that there is no such thing
as personal freedom in our Republic. In
America our foreign citizens must be
told of this and educated in the spirit of
our laws. You cannot drink If by drink
ing you hurt the man next to you. You
cannot make q noise on Sunday IL you
destroy the opportunity TO worship given
all men. There is no such thing as per-
sonal liberty that gives any one the right
to interfere with the rights of others.
This because we live In a republic.
"Our magistrates are largely respon-
sible for present conditions. The press
is responsible. The papers are fond of
saying they make public opinion. They
teach their readers to break the laws
Not only are they advising their readers
to break the law but they encourage ne
breaking of the law. | speak advisedly

TO do things his own way"

BALTIMORE, Jan. 16.-Louis Schulman
of New York and Samuel Katz of 4oS
Hewes street. Brooklyn. were captured
last night while taking 250 cases OF
whiskey valued at $4,000, from the
Pikesville dlstillery on trucks.
The local prohibition officers had been
tipped off by New York that the liquor
was obtained through the use of alleged
forged withdrawal certificates purport-
ing to have been issued by the director
in New York. 1t was declared here that
the permit was forged.
Federal agents stopped the trucks and
demanded to see the removal papers.
The inspection was made and Katz and
Schulman were arrested and directed to
drive the truck to the Custom House.
AT the Custom House the prisoners
helped in unloading the whiskey.
It was learned that the evidence
which fell into the hands of the prohi
btion officials is among the most inn
portant obtained here for some time.
information uncovered last night indi-
Gated that whiskey valued at many
thousands of dol ars had been with
drawn from Maryland bonded ware
mits.
While the seized whiskey is valued
at more than $4,000 in bootleg prices,
Schulman and Katz paid $7,750 at the
distillery 1t was learned that two other
persons alleged TO have been interested
in the deal were in the city. but they
escaped.

according to figures furnished by Lewis
NJ Milbourne. Deputy Collector of In
ternal Revnue These showed that 1885
barrels, or approximately 75.440 gallons.
were taken out on permits chiefly for
other States.
Attention recently was called to the
fact that there was more whiskey left In
bond in Maryland, proportionately, than
in any other State, and it is believed by
local prohibition agents that this led
to the recent heavy Withdrawals here.
