The most important and significant por-
ton of the message is that which relates
to the prohibitory law, and we quote in
full:
The report of the officers of the house of cor
rection shows that the commitments 10 that in
sttulion have increased from BPS for the biennial
period ending ssi to SOS for the biennial period
ending 1894. In attempting TO account for this
increase in crime the superintendent Of the house
of correction points 10 the rigid enforcement of
the prohIbitOry law an important element In
1884 there vas committed under the provisions of
the liquor law 1872 while in 1894 tnat number was
swelled 10 jl3, For larceny and burglary the
number of commitments has increased from 80
go. Tramping, however, has increased from 80 to
AS. All other offences have increased from 60 to
80.
While other crimes were not substantially iu-
creas.ng, considering the large number of men
who were idle aud trampng II was apparent
that something abnormal was al work producing
this increasing criminal population. The suRges-
uoF that the vigorous enforcement of the law
was the active element. caused me TO make in

The body Of Irving Warner. a young

city on No. ! last evening for burial.
The unfortunate young man mel his
death by drowning, while seining in

a sad one. and is as followe: At nine

man worked went down to the creek,
to sein some fish for dinner; Warner was
given the pole on the east side Of the
river, while the rest Of the party held
different places on the sein, the start
was made from a sand bar, and down
the stream tl<y had proceeded but a
little way, when Warner got in a hole
up to his shoulders, where he stood for
a moment. and then much to the sur
prise Of the balance Of the party. reared
back and cried out Save me boys. and
then disappeared. As soon the real situa-
ton was realized. one Of the boys, a good
swimmer. started for the place where
Warner had gone down. and soon en-.
