Thieves Lay Pipeline
To Distilery, But
Are Foiled

BALTIMORE, May 8.-Liquor
thieves who used an automobile
bearing New York license tags
broke into the upper warehouse
at the Sherwood distillery at
Cockeysville early Sunday, but
their plans were frustrated when
guards opened fire on them.
Two of the men were captured
in the automobile while they
were fleeing toward Baltimore.
The thieves came completely
equipped for the robbery, and
must have been at work for
some time before they were
observed. A line of hose more
than, so feet long extended
from the warehouse through a
window. which had been broken
to a shed about so feet away,
owned by Lewis Kraus and
used for storage. The hose ran
along the wall of the building
until it reached the ground,
where it ran through the grass
TO the Shed.
In the warehouse was a hand
force pump, which had been
connected to the pipe line.
One barrel of whiskey had been
tapped, the suction pipe of the
pump placed in the barrel. In
the shed were found two empty
barrels and about so five-gallon
bottles of the type used in dis
tributing spring water. 1t is
thought the thieves intended to
pump the whiskey from the
barrels in the warehouse into
the empty barrels in the shed
and then fill the bottles from
these. In this manner they
could have carried it away in
the automobile.

A more hopeful view prevails OF
Europes ability to finance heavier

Most persistent demand comes

to the exhaustion of native grain
