RESULTS OF PROHIBITION

Grow Where Law Enforced

during the thirty days preceding. From October
16 to November 16 ifty-fve arrests were made;
from November 16 to December 16, only thirty
two arrests counting all the cases of arrests for
attempts to violate the Prohibition law
The sheriff in an interview says that crime
has been reduced about seventy-fve percent
One of the notable facts is that since the ad-
vent of the Prohibition law there have been no
murders in Oklahoma county, although prior to
that time there had been lamentable reign of
murder. During the last day of saloon rule,
there was one murder and one stabbng affray.
The general feeling is that the reduction of
crime will be still more marked as time goes on,
and that, while the total number of arrests since
it will include boot-leggers and all who attempt
to violate the Prohibition law, may continue
large, violent crime will almost wholly disap-
pear.
The police court in this city is already ghost
of its former SELF and for the month ending De-
cember II, the number of "drunks" was less
than one-eighth the number handled during the
preceding month

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, December 27-(Specal
correspondence ce)-The statement is frequently
made in liquor papers and repeated in the daily
ton of Prohibition means the driving away Of
population from state or from city. Recent
press dispatches have represented that Atlanta is
facing serious problem in the removal of peo-
pie who will not live in Prohibition town;
that buildings are standing empty and "To Rent
signs prominent everywhere. While it is proba-
BILE that this is almost wholly fabrication and
while reliable news from Atlanta, published in
the Prohibition papers, puts an altogether differ
ent face upon the situation Kansas has bit of
experience in the immediate past that is available
as a commentary.
During the year, six Kansas cities have en-
forced the prohibitory law and driven out the
saloons. These are Kansas City, Wichita To-
peka, Parsons, Coffeyville and Independence
Three Kansas cities have allowed the saloon to
remain in rebellion against the law. These are
the notorious old rebels-Leavenworth, Atchison
and Pittsburgh In all of the three, in spite of
every effort, the saloon still holds some foothod
and law-breal<ing is abetted by the public off
cials.
Now, by curious coincidence-if it were COIN
cidence-but rather, as every intelligent observer
believes, direct consequence of this policy,
the six cities which have driven out the saloon
have all increased in population, and the three
cities which have retained the saloon have each
and all decreased in population.
The increase in population is as follows:

COUNCIL
FOR Is COPS

The demand for additional po
lice protection, particularly in the
residence sections, has led the po-
ice commissioners and Chief Rice
to make a requisition on the city
council for % additional men.
There was some talk for time Of
demand for so men, but the po-
lico authorities concluded that If
the council gives them half that
number they will be contented for
thte present.
The total number of men employ
ed in the police department at
present is about so, BY the time
the officers, plain clothes men, pa
,rol wagon drivers and helpers,
lailers and desk men are elimin-
ated from this calculation it leaves

respective assignments, but do the
best they can under the circum-
stances.
The numerous robberies, bur-
glaries and holdups of last winter
has caused an agitation for better
police protection in the residence
districts. The first formal demand
of this kind came the other day
when a delegation of Cannon Hill
people went beforet he board of
public works to ask for a patrol
man for night duty in that section.
The board of public works could
not grant the petition because of a
shortage of men and urged the
gentlemen from the hill to go be-
fore the city council when the in
crease of police protection is ask
ed and place their case before that
body.
1t is likely that the matter will
be fully threshed out before the
city council when it meets Septem-
Der 20 to make the appropriations
for the next fiscal year.

Bryan, Roosevelt and Other Leaders Mingle
in Thick of Battle.

COLUMBUS, O., Sept. 24.-Bryan
read the Roosevelt letter before he
emerged from bed this morning.
He declined to make comment now,
explaining it is likely he will be
able to answer any questions
Roosevelt asks. Bryan left at 1890
for Cincinnati.
1t seems certain today that Has
kell will be eliminated.
1t is openly asserted by Bryan
that his friends have been elm
mated before, but influential demo
Gratis demand that the governor be
given chance to prove the
charges untrue.
Columbus is the storm center Of
the presidential campaign today.
Monet was here to repeat charges
against Haskell to Bryan, who con-
ferred with the democratic leader
all afternoon. Monet refused to
exonerate Haskell from blame.
Il cannot exonerate Haskell" he
said, 'of the charge of being i'm
plicated in collecting the half mil
lion bride fund offered by the
Standard to bride me to stop pro-
ceedings against the company.
Neither can | condemn him. All l
know is hearsay. l have the state
ment of Charles Squire that Has
kell was one of three men who
raised the funds. | insist that a
grand jury investigation would
show just how matters stand"
Roosevelt's reply to Bryan's de-
mand that he prove his charges
against Haskell is devoted to de-
nunciation of the latter. He char
acterizes Haskell as utterly unfit
for association with any man
anxious to appeal to the American
people on a moral issue, claiming
that this denunciation is justified
even by Haskell's acts as governor
of Oklahoma, which the president
calls disgraceful and scandalous.
Roosevelts utterances are based
on Oklohoma affairs, as he made
no charges in regard to Haskell's
alleged bribery by Standard OIL in
Ohio. The president submits no
specific proof, but argues that
Haskell's course in preventing the
attorney general from prosecuting
the Prairie Oil & Gas Co, Standard
Oil branch, is evidence sufficient
that Haskell is a tool of Rookie
Teller. Roosevelt states that Has
kell's connection with Standard
Oil in Ohio was a matter of com
mon notoriety. He accused Has
kell with suspending Oklahoma in
junction proceedings without color
of law.
Roosevelt then launches into

In reply on his own behalf,
Haskell says the president dropped
the Ohio charges because his orig.
inal statements were untruthfu1

shorter word that 'falsehood."

give the trust a gas franchise also.
In regard to the charge of veto
ing child labor bill, Haskell says
he did that because it went too far
and that union labor approved his
veto. He concludes:
THE president assumes that all
Oklahomans are grafters because
his theoretical associates justified
that name; that all ex-railroad con-
tractors are bed just because Paul
Morton needed his protecting
arms; that We all in Oklahoma
violate the civil service law just
because Mr.. Roosevelt removed the
best United States marshal we
ever had, the only reason being
that he voted for a good democrat
instead of bad republican, and
then appointed his cousin to fill
the vacancy"

GREEDY GEAR

GRANTED RIGHT TO WORK IN

to the Russian government, with
the Russian governor aboard,
seized $4,000 and several Ameri-
can miners who were working at

with the car.
SEATTLE, Sept. PA. H. Ba-
Der, ASSOCIATED with the Northeast
company, when informed of the ac-
ton ot the Russian gunboat, said
he was not surprised. He said it
was the result of reports sent by
the Russian consul general at San
Francisco to ST. Petersburg. He
declared the Russian government
granted Rqsene the right to trade
and to recover all minerals of the
Topukotsk peninsula, and that
Russian officials in Siberia were in
accord with the Americans. but the
car received untrue reports about
the amount of gold found there.
The result was, he said, that the
gunboat, was ordered to make the
seizure.
