DRY RAID !.
BY DISTRICT POLICE.
Sheriff Simms Says State

Sovereignty of Maryland

specjal Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch TO The star
BALTIMORE, April 2S.-A raid
Wednesday in Charles county. Md.
by Washington police and pro-
hibition agents, may result in strong
protest by Maryland authorities or
Charles county officials and action to
prevent repetition of such thing.
The raid at Dentsville, near La
Plata, under direction of federal dry"
agents and the District policemen, is
characterized by Sheriff John NJ Simms
of Charles county as "a high handed
piece of business" and a violation
Of the sovereignty of the state of
Maryland"
The raid resulted in the arrest of
three negroes and confiscation of sup
plies alleged to have been used in
manufacture of corn whisky.
Action Held Discourteous.
"The action of the Washington au-
thorities," said Sheriff Simms. was
not only discourteous, but a violation
of the sovereignty Of the state. l
was in the vicinity of Dentsvifle late
taken part in the raid If the Wash
ington authorities had told me about
it.
From what I understand. the place
raided was in an isolated section and
the Washington men probably, learned
of its existence through some one in
that city. The place rAided was four
miles from the road.
THE rights of the state have been
violated. OF that l am confident, and.
SO far as L know, it marks the first
time in history that Washington
police have made raid outside the
District of Columbia"
Several Shots Fired.
While the raid was in progress a
number of shots were fred when one
Of the Washington police lieutenants
Is supposed to have become alarmed
by actions on the part of negroes in
an automobile and again when one of
the three negroes under arrest tried
to escape. No one was hurt.
The government forces consisted Of
Revenue Agents Hines, Rose and
Fowler and Police Lieuts. Holmes and
Wilson Of the metropolitan police.
Sheriff Simms said he did not learn
of the raid until the following morn
ing. Thomas Moore. f. +. Fredericks
Of Washington, and William Butler, a
resident of Charles county, all colored,
were arrested and taken to Washing
ton with the confiscated goods. The
trio will be given hearing before

refugees from Shell Beach to Violet

whites. were marooned on the st.
Bernard highway about four miles
back from the creyasse. Although
surrounded by water. these people
were three feet above the flood and
refused to leave their present loca-
ton until the inundation reached
more threatening levels. The water
around them was rising slowly.
A short distance from the Lake
Borgte canal eighty negroes were
found hudcled in eight huts.
Seventy thousand acres of highly
productive EARNING land in st. Ber-
nard and Plaquemine parishes were
being flooded last night by the crevas sse
at Poydras plantation, twelve miles
below New Orleans, on the east bank
of the river. which occurred at an
early hour yesterday morning.
The break occurred at sharp bend
in the river in front of the Poydras
plantation, where the current hits
with terrific force accumulated in a
straight sweep of several miles down
the stream. one hundred feet of the
embankment blew out without warn
ing and shortly had widened 10 ap-
proXimately 400 feet.
With practically all hope of clos

There is considerable discussion as

PRESENT AS oNLooKERS.
Evans Declares Officers Took NJ
Active Part in Raid.

Local police officials say there was
nothing unusual about the part
Lieuts. Wilson and Holmes took in
the raid, which seems to have raised
the ire of Maryland officials. AS
matter of fact, said Inspector Charles
A. Evans, assistant chief Of police. the
two lieutenants were simply there as
onlookers, the same as were Prlnce
Georges county officials at liquor
ago; the Maryland officers having
told of the local location of the al
legged violations of law.
It appears from the statement of
Inspector Evans that the two lieu
tenants learned of the presence OF
the still near Dentsville and were
told that it was possible to smell the
odor of corn liquor three miles dis
tant.
Information relative to the still was
furnished the federal prohibition
agents, Inspector Evans stated, and
the lieutenants made two trips to
Maryland with them. Lieuts. Wilson
and Holmes were not deputized as
federal agents, the inspector stated,
but merely accompanied the federal
officers as onlookers.
Inspector Evans further stated that
the local police and Maryland state
police and county officials have CO.

It frequently has been pointed out
by local officials that this city is
deeply interested in many things that
happen in the nearby states. Numer-

is stated, were planned in this city,
and the police deemed it part of their
duty to assist In a solution, of them.
