net to Capture It.

Five Mig truckloads Of imported
whiskey and other liquors, snug
gled into Baltimore from trans
Atlastic linen are on their way to
:ataskingsoH todxs. hoping es-
cape Q close-drawn net of police
and prohibition agents.
The liquor and the trucks be-
long to a master bootlegger of
Baltimore, who supplies an ex-
elusive clientele in Washington,
Baltimore and Philadelphia.
Police Spread Net.
Baltimore and Washington au'
thorities, on learning Of the big
shipment. laid deep plans for the
capture of one of the largest con.
signments of Christmas cheer sent
to washington during the prohibi.
ton era.
Whether this particular lot was
taken from the steamship Maine,
which docked in Baltimore yesterday
with 221 cases Of liquor for Wash
ington embassies, or from another
vessel, Is uncertain.
The bootlegger, who has lnterna.
tional dealings, owns a fleet of about
twenty trucks. He is a former IA.
loon keeper of Baltimore. who re-
tired, II is believed, with a large for.
time, but pyramided his earnings ty
embarking about year ago in q
great iquor-smuggling enterprise.
The trucks, believed to be on an
unguarded road from Baltimore. are
cleverly disguised, 1t is said. Balti.
more bootleggers are laying odds OF
10 to that the Washington supply
is safely delivered, despite unusual
precautions on the part Of authori.
ties to hold up the trucks.
The contents Of the big liquor
caravan were ordered, 1t was lsavned,
by q number of prominent Wash.
ingtonians, especially for Yuletide
festivities.
