PROHIBITION SAVES
THOUSANDS FROM CRIME
Two Thousand Fewer JAIN Sentences
and More Than Three Hundred
Reduction to Penitentiary.
COVER BUT SIX DRY MONTHS.
In Response to State President OF w.
G. II. u, Attorney General Gives
Figures Showing Reduction OF
Crime In State.

In response to a request from Mrs
Howard M. Hoge. state president Of
the woman's Christian Temperance
union. Attorney-Generdal John Gar
land Pollard has prepared the follow
Ing statement indicating the effects OF
the operation OF prohibition In Vir-
ginia during the first year OF Its ex-
istence. The facts brought out are
extremely gratifying to all lovers OF
temperance.
The statement follows:
Prohibition in Virginia has been a
great success The law went into
effect November I. 1913, and its good
effects were Immediately felt.
Tho superintendent Of the state
penitentiary informs me that the num-
Der committed to the state prison for
tho first nine months Of 1915. when
We had the licensed saloon. was sos,
while the corresponding nine months
Of lsi.. under prohibition. the num-
bsr fell to so7-3o1 saved from a
felon's cell in nine months.
The jail statistics for the first nine
months OF this year are not yet avail
able, but the reports at the once OF
the state boaFa o. charities and cor
reetions show that there were 2.041
less prisoners committed to the 5nils
In the nrst six months OF 1917 than
there were In the first six months Of
1915 under the open saioon--rnore
than 1000 saved from the disgrace OF
jail In six short months!
IT 10 often contended that while
prohibition IL q success in the rural
districts Il can-ot be rendered effec-
tive In large cities. This has not
proven the case In the city OF Rich
mond. having = population OF about
10000. The commonweAlth's attor-
ney informs me that since prohibition
went into effect there has been q most
marked failing off In the number OF
felony indictments in his court: and
heard the TALLER make a public state
mont to the effect that there had been
marked reduction in thu number OF
prisoners committed to the city Jail.
The opponents OF prohibition. es-
pecialiy in the city Of Richmond.
argued that real estate values would
be much appreciated II tia saloons
were closed ana that rents would fall
as soon as the hundreds Of stores oc-
cupied by the saloons were closed
The result has been tust to the con-
trary. On our principal business
street, known a. Broad street. there
were q large number OF saloons.
Since the closing Of these saloons the
fes simple and rental value Of the
property on this street has increased,
notwithstanding the fact that the real
estate market Is In general de-
pressed.

ton ever arises again In Virginia he
will aght more vigorously for prihfbt-
