THIRSTY UNCLE SAM
Consumption Of Wines and Liquors
| Has Doubled Since

1852.
Washington, May T. Thirsty,
thirsty Uncle Sam!
In 1907 he drank 2s3,716,s57 more
gallons Of beer than in 1905, 22,679,-
131 more gallons of wine, and 1924
1877 more gallons of whisky!
Can you comprehend these figures?
Practically the same proportionate in
crease in the national thirst has been
going on since 1880.
In 1907 the consumption per capita
of wines and liquors was 1888 gal
Ions. In 1905 it was 20.3S gallons per
capita.
In other words, the united citizens
Of the United States consumed 3.15
more gallons of wines and liquors in
1907 than in 1905. And this in spite
of the remarkable campaign of the
prohibitionists.
The figures that tell the story Of
Uncle Sans remarkable ''booze" rec
ord are contained in statistical re-
port just issued by the department Of
commerce and labor.
The report shows that the average
consumption of Intoxicating liquors
has doubled since 1882. The thirst of
the Americon people has come very
close to increasing an average of one
gallon per capita year.
In 1870 the consumption of wines
and liquors per capita was only TT
gallons. In 1880 the average person
was drinking 1908 gallons; in 1890.
1858 gallons; in 1900, 1853 gallons.
The total consumption of wines and
liquors in 1907 was 2,019,690,911 gal
Ions, against 1,s74,321,3S in 1906 an
increase of 145,369,23 The increase
of 19O5's consumption was 325,61O,775.
OF the total consumption 57,738,S4S
gallons were wines, 1921, 1867, 627 gal
Ions were malt liquors and 140,0S4 ,436
gallons were distilled spirits.
In 1907 the average person drank
.67 gallon of wine, 21.23 gallons of
beer and 169 gallons of whisky.
There are many causese for the in
creased consumption of liquors.
Brewers and manufacturers spend
large fortunes for advertising every
year Since 1880 an average Of
100000 foreigners, large per cent
of whom were heavy liquor consum-
ers, came into the country each year.
The number of amusement parks adj
jacent to large cities, at which liquors
are dispensed, has doubled in five
years.

There is one feature of all this talk
about tariff revision that seriously con-
Germs the farmer. That is, the first
argument that the man who Is in
favor of tariff revision brings up. is
that food products are too high. He
says he has to pay too much for what
he has to buy to eat, and that in ad
dition to the high prices the farmer is
getting for his food products, that his
land has been almost doubled in value
since the enactment Of the Dingley
law.

Marion wanted no favors," he de-
clared. "She never asked one Of any
body at Oxford street. She only de-
sires justice and truth-and mean
to have them for her"
"Then go and see Cunnington for

But she was sent away" cried
Rolfe in anger. "Sent away in dis

truth concerning It."

man impatiently, do go home, for

followed the young man. In them was

Charles had spoken in Belgrade?
But no! He would not believe such
thing. Sam Statham was always
honest in his dealings-or, at least,
as honest as any millionaire can ever
be. The man who habitually deals in
colossal sums must now and then, of
necessity ruin his opponents and
wreck the homes of honest men And
strange it is that the world is ever
ungrateful If very wealthy man
gave every penny Of his profits to
the poor he would only be dubbed a
fool or an idiot for his philanthropy.
He recOllected that afternoon when
at work in old Sans room. he had
mentioned the doctors sudden depar-
ture, and how deity the old man
had turned the conversation into a
| different channel.
Until two days ago he would hear
no word nor believe any i'll against
the man who had befriended him. But
the mans refusal to assist him to
discover the truth concerning the
charge against Marion or to order her
to be reinstated had turned his heart
He was now Sam Stathams enemy
as before he had been his friend.
The two men seated together dis
cussed the matter carefully and ser
iously for the greater part OF the
might, and when they parted to go tc
their rooms they took each others
hands in solemn compact.

DIED OF DRINK, NOT VIOLENCE
VERDICT OF JURY IN CASE OF
]. F. SPELSHoUSE AT MoRGuE.

Richard Mccarthy, a saloon keeper at
472 X street northwest. who was held by
Coroner hewitt. pending inquiry in the
cause of the death OF John F. Spelshouse
of 4l9 X street northwest. was released
from custody this morning.
The coroner's jury decided that Spells
house died of acute alcoholism, and not
from injuries received at McCarthys
saloon yesterday evening.
About Z O'Clock yesterday evening
Srelshouse entered McCarthy's saloon and
asked for drink. AS the man was
drunk. Patrick Murphy. who was tending
bar. refused to sell him the liquor. This
incensed Spelshouse. and he became
abusive and violent to the bartender.
Mccarthy. the owner of the bar. came
in a. the time and told Spelshouse TO go
home. He refused TO leave and Nc
Carthy took him by the arm and led him
to the street.
AS they passed the swinging doors OF
the bar Spelshouse attempted to strike
Mccarthy. and in doing so drove his fist
and arm through glass in the door.
The broken glass badly cut his wrist.
After binding uD the wound. Mccarthy
took the man TO nearby drug store.
From there SpelShouSe was sent TO the
Casualty Hospital, which had been called
up ~ phone and requested TO send for
the man.
At the hospital the wound in the mans
arm was dressed. AS he was so much in
toXicated as to be unfit To go into the
street, the physicians of the hospital gave
him a sedative to quiet him.
Some time after taking the medicine the
man fell in a faint. Though the physi-
clans worked on him for over an hour he
died about o O'Clock.
DR.. c. B. Conklin OF the Casualty Hos
pital was of the opinion that death was
due to heart failure. Coroner hewitt. how
ever, ordered the arrest and detention OF
Mccarthy pending the coroners inves IL
cation at the morgue this morning.
The inquest was held at III o'clock and
DIR. Conklin. Patrick Murphy. the bar
tender. and others testified to the facts
as given.
DR.. Glazebrook, deputy coroner, WHO
performed an autopsy on the body of
Spelshauser. stated that he found the
cuts on the wrist not to be serious asd
that the organs OF the body were normal.
The loss of blood from the wound had
not been excessive.
He had found conditions to show that
the man had been overcome by heat. In
his opinion death was caused by an over
indulgence in liquor combined with the
excessive heat of the day.
: The jury. consisting of Charles Wolfe.
William A. Foy. John NJ. Mckee, NJ. H.
Turner. F. K. Raymond and ]. ]. Bowles.
found that the death of the man was due
to acute alcoholism.
The body of Spelshauser will be turned
over to relatives for burial.
