Frederick, Md, March s: Overpow'-
ering three guards and smashing down
. the doors. a gang of liquor robbers be-
lieyedS to have numbered thirty early
to-day escaped with 2,100 gallons OF
swhiskey from the warehouse at Bur
kittsville, near here, of the Outbridge
Horsey Distillery Company, Inc. the
value of the liquor stolen was esti-
.mPted by representatives Of the COM
pany at $4,000. The whiskey, con-
Etained in. barrels, was loaded into
three trucks and several automobiles.
One of the trucks containing seven
teen barrels was found 4 miles from
the warehouse, the robbers having
been forced to abandon 1t after an ac-
icfdent. rfie robbery was staged ac-
cording to John Hampt, deputy sheriff
of Frederick county who was on guard
Rt the distillery, shortly after one
O'Clock this morning. Having gained
AN entrance a portion rolled out the.
barrels while others loaded them. The
robbery today was the second in seven,
months, about twenty men having
broken into the warehouse last Sep
temper 9th and removed LOO cases
of whiskey valued at $4,000. Some
arrests were later made but no con-
yictions obtained. Authorities here
investigating today's theft expressed
the belief that those who participated
came from Baltimore and had taken
the stolen liquor to that city.
Mr.. Ford's proposition for lease of
Muscle Shoals, says the Charlotte OBJ
server seems to have been at last
definitely barred by the report of the
committee to which it had been re-
ferred, which has found, according to
statement by Chairman Kahn, tnat it
will take. years to thresh out the en-
tanglements involved by reason of the
governments contracts with the Ala
bama Power Company. The Alabama
Company and the Nitrates Corpora
ton have the government, legally tied
up on the matter of exclusive rights
to purchase two of the units OF, the
plant and cannot free itself from these
obligations without prolonged litiga-
ton. Meantime, Mr.. Ford had agreed
TO notifications which were being
pressed upon the government by his
representatives, having put up a big
guarantee to protect the government
and included contract to make COM
mercial fertilizers. The committee
then wanted Ford to go so far as to
indicate. his willingness to take over
the property on the risk of not being
given good title and accepting re-
sponsibility for defraying costs of the
llllSdtlOIE ora representatives, nat
urally baked at that, and then the
word was given of the rather hopeless
outlook for Mr. Ford. 1t would be the
astonishment of the world if Ford
should now continue to hang on.

wards establishing that necessary bal

producer and the costs of the con-

president added, that when stability
and confidence shall have been re-
stored to agriculture the country will
have progressed far on the way to
general resumption of prosperous &C
