PROHIBITION LAW CRUSADE People Bitterly Opposed to Dry Statute; Aided by Gov. Ritchie RY LOUIS F. KEEMLE BALTIMORE, Jan. 5.—Mary land, wettest state in the Union and proud of It, begins the new year determined to fight any ef fort to fores the Volsvead law down its throat, Gov. Albert C. Ritehte ever the traces at Presi ing’s recent conference on prohibition enforcement and told the country how little he thought of the Volstead Jaw, believes that legislation ts an Mnvasion of state rights and cannot be enforced. Can tt be enforced—tn Maryland? Not likely, with the people feeling ‘the way they do. ‘The N. B. A. Service correspondent Qook a walk thru downtown Baltt more. He has been living in this city two months He visited four saloons and Festaurants, and found it is not essary to be “knowr In 8 them liquor was being sold as openly in 1914. The same pilgrimage cessfully days teked t Beer—4 per with a collar and a kick—ts on draught and on sale to all com ers at 20 cents » large glass. Whisky, too, is sold over the bar, Many places dispense good whisky —the Maryland rye for which this distilling state once was famous—in highballs or by the pony giass for 50 cents. Whisky 1s sold over the bar In Dalf-pint flasks. Beer can be ordered from the corner saloon by the case pnd will be delivered. Bootleggers? The correspondent found one without difficulty tn & room near the city hall. He said could supply any grade of whisky from pure bonded whisky at $10 © quart to “green whisky” at $2.50. Purchase of a bottle disclosed It to Be raw alcohol, rye extract, caramel coloring, glycerin and odds and ends. ‘Attempts at enforcement are prac- tically futile, Maryland has no state enforcement law as provided tn the Voistead law. Police do not make fiquor raids. ‘Under a ruling of the state attor-/ ney general, the only part police can take in a raid is to protect raiding federal agents when thelr lives are fm danger. The ruling also bars con stables, magistrat 4 other state and county officials from enforce ment activities. ‘Another difficulty hampering ¢ry agents is the ruling of the United States commissioner for this district that raids, even on trucks on high- ways, ‘not legal unless made un- Ger a search warrant. Liquor seized without a warrant ts returned to the owner. ‘The commissioner will not issue a warrant without actual proof that the place to be raided has liquor con trary to law. An agent’s sworn state- ment that he drank Uquor there is} not enough. He must show the Nquor. ‘The federal dry fores here trying to stem the flood consists of eight men, alded by a “flying squad” of gix sent periodically from Washing- nr. Publle demonstrations, some times reaching riot proportions, often mark raids. Agents have bees mobbed a dozen times. Crime has increased. Police figures for 1922, now being com- piled, show approximately 60,000 arrests, With the exception of 1918, this is the highest in Balti more’s history. Totals for pre ceding years are: 19271, 54,602; 1920, 41,988; 1919, 50,027. Figures just compiled by the Pru ential Insurance company on 2% American cities show murder ts In ‘creasing in Baltimore faster than ‘any city. The yearly rate is 11.3 per 100,000 of population. The state's sentiment Is best ex pressed in the attitude of the Mary jand Society Opposed to the Prohibi tion Amendment. The members took the stand that Governor Ritchie's anti-Volstead statement following the president's conference was too mild! Hotel Manager Is Merchants’ Head Ray L.
