BALTIMORE, Dec. 11.-An attempted
S2,oo0.00o liquor warehouse robbery
here last night was interrupted by en-
forcement officials after twenty-five
auto truck runners, believed to be
seeking supply for the New York
bootleg market, had spirited away
$500 cases, or sAS2, 900 worth, of choice
bourbon whisky. Sixteen men were
arrested and four trucks were seized.
The theft is said by enforcement Of
icials here to be the largest attempted
warehouse raid since the country went
dry. The liquor was part of 10000
quarts of the finest whisky the country
has to offer and would have brought
more than $40 quart in the bootleg
market. 1t was stored in the ware
house of the Canton Distilleries. being
held for export.
Prohibition headquarters in Wash
ington Immediately ordered out 400
prohibition agents in five states. in
cluding New York and New Jersey, in
escaped trucks and arrest the fugitives.
All roads leading out of Maryland
toward New York are being guarded
by prohibition agents. Many agents
we're engaged in searching garages on
all highways in the belief that the
fugitive trucks may have put in at
one of them to escape detection.
Wooded places and all other possible
havens we're being combed at night
fall last night. Efforts were also be-
ing made to prevent the trucks reach
ing New York City under cover of
darkness
The battery of eight trucks to be
used in the robbery drove up to the
distillery after dark. The drivers, led
by plausible individual, won the
confidence of the warehouse guards
when they presented a permit for the
removal of $4,000 cases of pints.
This permit was later seized and
is described by officials as Carriers
permit" 1t was not backed by a
necessary withdrawal permit.
When the rum runners gained access
to the warehouse they began loading
the bourbon whisky indiscriminately in
Four trucks had been loaded and had
headed away from the warehouse in
the general direction of New York
when the police and prohibition forces
learned of the raid.
Two other trucks, loaded with 2,2O0
eases, were ready to leave the ware
house and two more trucks were be-
ing loaded when the police arrived.
The sixteen men in charge of the four
trucks were placed under arrest and
the four trucks and contents seized.
