MINISTER DRINKS - EVIDENCE LIQUOR Baltimore Flouting of Dry Law Declared Disgrace by Rev. E. Taber. Special Dispateh to The Star. BALTIMORE, Md., July 13.—The Rev. Edward Taber, formerly of ‘Washington, and a noted athlete, now pastor of Hampden Baptist Church, bought and drank beer and whisky in about a dozen places this week to Zet first-hand material for a sermon Sunday night on law enforcement. Addressing his congregation at Prayer meeting on Wednesday night, he told of his investigation, and sald: “I am going to tear things loose Sunday night. Conditions in Balti- more are a disgrace to the city and a reproach to everybody in it. Facts such as I have gathered ought to stir the conscience of this great city to_action against a situation that is full of danger. .l propose to give the names and addresses of the places I visited and in all but two of which I bought in- toxicants without question. I was accompanied by a friend. We drank the stuff they sold us—at least, we tasted it to make sure of what it was. The beer was bud and the Whisky worse. Worst of all was the de- lberate way in which the law of the land is flouted. “If we had visited many more places and tasted as many more drinks I am afraid we might have got too much to carry. As it was, the stuff was so potent that we felt the effect. “No excuses will be offered for our having tasted the drinks. We were out for facts and we got them.

Rich and to the city council were adopted. Tt was also decided by the |organization to form {tself into the Business Men's League, and it ad- Jjourned _sub, fo the call of the presiden Cit: Manager Wilder M. Rich was present and gave his views on the matter, together with facts re- garding the financial condition of the city. The meeting was presided over by W. H.

In reply to a question of Mr. Baggett, the city manager declared that when the city ordinance was up it was thought 325 a year was « reasonable tax, but he #aid he was not present to discuss the question. The Increase, he said, would be equiv- alent to 89 cents a month, which did not strike him as being high.

Concluding, he -lnld they are not trying to drive any one out of business, adding that the increased tax will only yield the city about $1,000 additional revenue. W. C. Baggett said he did not think the license an equitable one and he sserted he discussed the matter with a city official, and was told “the city must have the money.” Mr, Baggett further stated that he was the father of the 33 city tax on automobiles, and it was provided that the money was to g0 on streets.
