Saturday, February 23, 1923—Page 6 THE JEFFERSONIAN, TOWSON, MARYLAND COOLIDGE ASKED TO TIGHTEN DRY FORCE IN STATE—CRABBE ASSAILS SENATOR WELLER Action Of Anti-Saloon League Regarded As Demand For Ousting Prohibition Director Budnitz—Resolutions Forwarded To White House. Appealing directly to President Coolidge to use "all the power of the Government" to "stpp lawlessness" in this State, the Anti-Saloon League of Maryland launched a new attack on the handling of prohibition enforcement by Federal officials here. Resolutions which are regarded as a demand for the ousting of Prohibition Director Edmund Budnitz were sent to the President and to Prohibition Commissioner Roy A. Haynes. These urge that "an outstanding man who believes in the enforcement of the prorhibition law be made the head of the law enforcement department of the State of Maryland. Mr. Budnitz acts in this capacity. While he is not named in the resolutions, the league's action is believed to be a renewal of the fight made upon him before and after his appointment in 1921. Mr. Budnitz declined any comment. George W. Crabbe, superintendent of the league, extended the attack to include Senator O. E. Weller. He ricclRTGcL i "We are never going to be able to enforce the law here as long as a wet man like O. E. Weller is allowed to choose the law enforcement officials. When the wets charge the government with lack of good faith in appointing men not in favor of enforcement, we have no defense."

Congressman John Philip Hill, one time a trooper in the outfit, will be one of the speakers, and Colonel Joshua G. Harvey, of Owings Mills, will act as toastmaster. The troop was first formed in the early days of the Civil War, and took the field as a Confederate organization; shortly after the close of hostilities it was reorganized and was acclaimed one of the finest cavalry units in the country, often carrying off the honors in riding and drill contests. Prior to the United States' entry into the world war and during the Mexican trouble Troop "A" was stationed at Eagle Pass, Texas, where its members did patrol duty along the Rio Grande River. When this country entered the great world war, together with other Maryland regiments, the troop was Federalized and sent to Camp Mc-Clellan, Alabama. After the armistice Troop "A" was never reorganized, its existence now being perpetuated only by the annual banquet. .---------o--------- WM. F. OOGHLAN INDISPOSED. County Commissioner Wm. F.

BAD LIQUOR BLAMED FOR SLAYING OF AGED MAN —SON ALLEGED TO HAVE CONFESSED Victim Of Drink Says Doctor, And As A Consequence Is A Nervous Wreck—Dr. J. Wm. Ebert, Jail Physician, Declares Whatever Man Did Was Act Of "Moonshine." Moonshine liquor was blamed for the slaying of Samuel Stiffler, seventy-three, of Hoffmanville, this county, who died with a charge of shot in his abdomen. His son, James Stiffler, thirty-eight, stares through the bars of his cell in the Towson Jail. A coroner's jury has nam edhim as the man who fired the fatal shot. But Dr. J. W. Ebert, the Towson Jail physician, said Stiffler is a physical and mental wreck, due to the prolonged drinking. Whatever he did was the act of moonshine that had mastered his mind and body, according to the physician. Stiffler was adjudged in no condition for court hearing. The doctor said no statement he makes can be relied on. It is the moonshine that is talking—not the man. After a rest under medical watch Stiffler will be asksed to affirm or deny the confession he mumbled to police officers —namely: "My father called to me to get my gun an dshoot a hawk that was circling overhead. The gun went off by accident as I stepped through the door." Other than this Stiffler would say nothing except that he had been drinking hard for more than a week, according to Marshal Carroll E.

He made no other ^statement according to police officers. \ The elder Stiffler said his h-on had driven him from the house and had threatened to kill him if he returned according to testimony at the inl quest.
