THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, §500,000 ALCOROL GISTILLERY RAIDED Baltimore Haul Biggest in Government History—Run- ning Only Eight Days. By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, February 12.—Prohibi- tion agents raided a block-long ware- house within half a square of the Fed- eral Court Building here today and seized what they termed the largest grain alcohol distillery ever taken by the Government. John R. Barton, fleld executive of the prohibition forces, who led the raid, valued the plant at more than $500,- 000. He said he had information which indicated it had been in operation only eight days. Barton and John H. Wickham, acting administrator here, said that in 12 years’ experience they had never seen as large or so completely equipped a plant. Grain Alcohol Only Product. Pure grain alcohol was the only prod- uct of the four-story distillery, which was equipped with a copper still with a dally capacity of 20,000 gallons, six 50,000-gallon mash vats, a complete bottling plant, colls and even a lab- oratory for testing the products. Five men fled from the building through a trapdoor in the roof as the agents battered down the doors. They left a fire burning under a heavy-duty steam boller and even chemicals bub- bling in the laboratory, which shared D. C., FRIDAY, mmmmmmmhnd still. (3 The vats containing the mash took up two floors, three to each. A private telephone system extended through the building with extensions to all depart- ments. Arrows painted on the walls designated the route to the trapdoors for emergency and hurried exit. Shipment, the agent said, was made by tank wagons d as milk trucks. A pipeline extended from the alcohol storage tanks to a loading room in the rear, through which the completed product was pumped into the tank 18,000 Gallons Stored. Barton said 18,000 gallons of alcohol, valued at $72,000 at wholesale prices, were in the storage tanks. At least two weeks will be necessary to demolish the plant with all available men working on the job, Barton said. The warehouse occupies the block between Lexington and Saratoga streets near Eutaw street.
