Los NGELES BOASTS
Of SALOON LESS RECORD
Decrease Of Arrests 800 Per Cent
Under Prohibition Law, Says
Police Head.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 20.-Los
Angeles, one among the first of the
large cities of the world to try the ex-
pertinent of abOlishing the saloon from
within its borders, is delighted with
results. and looks with assurance for still
greater benefits when the whole State
becomes bone dry.
The city prohibition ordinance, which
was voted on in November, 1917, took
effect on April this year and already a
notable change is seen. The following is
taken from the records of the office Of the
Chief of Police:
Total arrests during March, 1918,
5108; total arrests during June, 1918,
1895; decrease, 22I3. Arrests for drunken
ness during March, 1918, 1864; arrests
for drunkenness during June. 1918, 377;
decrease, 1887.
1t will be seen from the above that
while the decrease in total arrests between
March and June Is 76 per cent, the de-
crease in arrests directly traceable TO the
use of alcohol is over 300 per cent. Chief
Butler also reports decided decrease in
the number Of Objectionable people of all
Kinds aud better moral tone throughout
the city.
A branch of the police department
called the City Mothers, through Mrs.
Gilbert its head, made the following
statement:
at is hardly possible to describe ac-
curately the full effect Of closing the
saloons and abolishing night life in this
city, but in our work we are constantly
finding proof of changed condition,
always for the better. Among the people
in the poorer neighborhoods, where, of
course, our work principally lies, there is
a marked decrease in the number of
lodged with us. 1t can be
said without question that the domestic
relations existing in all classes of this
have improved, some to an
extent we did not think possible
That like beneficial result always
follows prohibition IS shown by the report
from Chief of Police at Los Angeles Harbor
This report shows that in the face OF an
in the population at Los Angeles
Harbor of 80 per cent, the arrests have
decreased from 369 10 1872 in three months
or nearly 200 per cent.
