DRY RAIDERS TOLD | TO GET RUM KINGS Capture of'l;(;mmr Worth | More Than Many Small Ones, Oftedal Declares. . Special Dispatch to The Star. * BALTIMORE. March - 8.—"Get bht" big operators” is the slogan among dry’| raiders today, following a meeting ‘at | Fort McHenry, prohibition headquar- | ters of agents, when they were told by their leaders to “stay within the |~ law” on raids. “One big case a month is better | than 300 little ones.” Alf Oftedal, as- | sistant prohibition commissioner from | ‘Washington, told the assembled agents. | The meeting, the first since Col. John | P. J. Herbert, dry administrator, took | office in December, 1926, followed close- | 1y on a series of saloon raids in Balti- | more, during which several places were ‘wrecked. As a result of wrecking the saloons, | undoubtedly more attention would have | dinner of the club, to be held at 7| | storms strike the city, was indicated | today at the Franklin administration | buillding when school officials discussed tures yesterday. When a section of the roof of one of a group of four portables on the Grant road site of the proposed B. W. Murch School was dislodged during the noon-hour recess yesterday, Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, ordered the dismissal of approximately 2,450 children from the 75 portable structures in the city. Before the day's storm had subsided two other portable buildings suffered slight damage. One at Fourteenth and Kalmia road had its guttering at the rof eaves loosened. while a similar structure at Forty-, fourth and Newark streets, in Wesley Heights, sustained a torn panel in a vall section. Asked if yesterday's dismissal wo\nld‘ constitute a precedent to be followed in future storms here, Dr. Ballou said to be paid to the safety of children in the portables. “Many of our portable buildings are getting old and most of them have been moved at least once, so that they are not _the secure, safe structures they | ‘should be,” Dr. Ballou said. “In view of the damage these buildings suffer from storms, it is important that we take steps to safeguard pupils.” In the event the “windstorm dhmh-t sal” policy is inaugurated, Dr. Ballou | said- such dismissal probably would be | ordered by -school system officers at| Franklin, rather than rely upon the| judgment of individual principals. | Workmen are repairing the Grant| road - structure today, and it may be ready for occupancy tomorrow. The Wesley Heights and Kalmia road port- | ables were repaired yesterday. Greek Artist to Be Feted.
