Fewer Arrests. Maj. Pullman Says.

He then presented an extract from
Maj. Pullmans report regarding the
effects of prohibition on the police work
in Washington. as follows:
when the Sheppard prohibition bill
for the District of Columbia passed
there was in the minds of many the
belief that there would be no appre-
ella BILE decrease in drunkenness be-
cause of the operation of the new law.
Even the enemies of prohibition soon
learned. however. that not only was
there great decrease of drunkenness.
ranging from 30 to IS per cent. under
the amount of drunkenness during the
same periods under license. but also
that there was great falling off in
cases of disorderly conduct, assault.
housebreaking. carrying of, concealed
weapons, cruelty to animals and other
offenses often growing out of intoxi
cation. In actual figures, from No
vember l to July /. under license.
there were GIL arrests in the eight
months per1or In the same period
under prohibition there were only 1853
arrests, a decrease of 3,9GS cases. or
nearly S. per cent decrease for the eight
months.
persons who are open-minded and
who have gwen reasonable amount
of time to observing the operation of
the law, even many of those who a
first opposed the enactment of the
Sheppard law, will now agree that
the prohibition Legislation has been

the lack OF serious disorder or riots
| of any kind in the National Capital
| during the entire period of the war.
| In spite of the fact that through the
| Interpretation of the law in the
| courts 1t is possible for persons to
| bring in as much liquor as they de-
sire, providing they say it is for
| their own personal use there has
| been a great Improvement of condi

! the law. While there naturally has

! ditions are so greatly improved that

Maj. Pullman Quoted by Rep

Mr.. Kahn's Charge.
PLEA FOR "FAIR PLAY"

Defending the National Capital
against what he said was olret'
reflection in an anti-prohlbltloh
speech made by Representative hahh
of California in the House on Satur-
day. Representative Nelson of WIS
consin yesterday quoted from the re-
port of Maj. Pullman. superintendent
of police. direct refutation of Rep
resentati kahn's charges that CRIME
has increased in the National Capital
since the bone-dry law went into
force here.
Representative Kahn later made a
speech in which he replied to those
who have questioned his declaration
that crime has increased during the
dry" regime in the District.

Quotes Mai. Pullman Figures.

He was applauded when he quoted
from Maj. Pulman's 1918 report:
In actual figures. from November |
to July /. under license, there were
GIL arrests in the eight month Pc
Rod In the same period, under pro-
hibition. there were only 2.S63 ar
rests, a decrease of 3,9oS cases, or
nearly SO per cent decrease for the
eight months"
In contradiction of the Police Court
records quoted by Representative
Kahn to show that prohibition is not
beneficial to Washington, Representa-
tive Cooper said:
These figures are absolutely re-
futed by the statistics, which show
most marked decrease of almost 200
per cent in the total number of crimes
for which prisoners in the District re-
ceive sentence, in. the reduction OF
commitments to the workhouse, and
in the figures showing the result of

Explains Increase in Cases.

concerning the Police Court cases
there has been an increase in the num-
Der of cases and the amount collected
in fines This is readily explained
and does not indicate increased crime
or drunkenness in Washington since
prohibition became effective.
"A large proportion of the increase
is accounted for by reason of the fact
that the increase in population
brought about great influx of We
hicles. and numerous arrests for vio-
lations of the traffic regulations re-
suited.
while the figures in the United.
States branch of the Police Court for
the fiscal year ending June 30. 1919,
also show considerable increase
when compared with those of the fis-
cal year ending June 30, 1918. such
increase can be largely accounted for
by reason of the fact that all Informal
tions for violations of the Reed bone
dry amendment and for selling liquor
within five miles of a military reser-
walton are filed in the United States
branch of the Police Court
Representative Nelson pleaded with
the House for fair play" saying:
az think that we should be very care
full to be fair and square in all our argu-
ments. ! do not believe that as repre-
sentatives in Congress we should allow
ourselves to make statements that are
not warranted by the facts merely for
the sake of making them in the interest
of the liquor traffic"

THE R-34 REACHES
 HOME PORT SAFELY
MAKES RETURN TRIP TO ENG LAND IN 75 HOURS AFTER
 LEAVING AMERICA.

Pullman, Norfolk.-Great Britain's mammoth transatlantic air pioneer, the diriglble R-34, arrived at the air station here, completing her round trip from the British Isles to the Unit ed States and return.
 The R-34 pointed her nose out of the clouds northeast of the village and after circling the flying field three times glided gently to the ground and 10 minutes later was housed in the dirigible shed. The voyage from Long Island was with out particular incident and was com pleted in approximately 75 hours.
 Soon after daybreak 400 men sta toned at the airdrome were reused from their sleep to prepare for the landing. Lookouts took position In towers and wireless operators prepar- ed to pick up messages from the air ship. The sun rose bright but soon afterward was obscured by clouds. There was no wind and those on watch were confident that the dirigi- ble would arrive on time.
 Shouts from those on the field greeted the first sight of the long gray body low on the horizon As the R-34 approached the field she dropped from a height of 5000 feet to 2,00O feer. The men who were to aid the airship in landing were ordered to their posi- tion and waited silently as the ship circled the field, dropping lower and lower.
 When Maj G. H. Scott, her com nlander, had manuevered the airshlp into position for the landing the wa ter ballast was released to steady her and rope was thrown from ,n. bow. The rope was grasped by eager hands and the giant ship moved across the field to the shed where the delicate operation of berthing her was quickly completed without acci- dent.

Washington.-Six former American soldiers testified before a special House committee Investigating cruel- ties to military prisoners in France, declaring that mererIess assault 5 were committed without provocation on the prisoners by arrogant officers in charge of the prison and camps. Only one of the witnesses, all of whom were charged with being ab- sent without leave, was convicted. | The others were acquitted or the charge dismissed.
 The "bastile," the "stockade," pris- on farm No. 2" and "St Ann's hotel" also known as the brig" were the places named by the witnesses as the scene of the alleged cruelties, wn,cn were said to have extended over sew eral months in 1918. Some officers in charge of the prison camps, it was said, had been convicted by court martial and others were awaiting trial.
 Lieut.. "Hard-boiled" Smith" one of prison camp officers, was mention ed frequently, while others named were Lieuts. Mason and Sullivan, and Sergeants Ball, Wolfmeyer and Busn.
 Did they try the general in charge of the camp?" asked Chairman Royal Johnston, who left his seat in Con- gress to serve with the army abroad.
 Not that anyone heard,' respond ed the witness.
 When Lieut. Hard-Boiled" Smith was tried at Tours early this year, 100 witnesses appeared against him and he was convicted, according to Sid ney Kemp, New York city, who was corporal of Company F, 1O2d Engi- neers, 18th Division.

DAYLIGHT SAVING

HOUSE FAILS TO PASS MEASURE OVER PRESIDENT WILL
 SONS VETO.

Washington. The daylight saw the country are turned forward an hour in March and waved back in October, will be continued indeil- nitely.
 This was assured when, following President Wilson's veto of the $33,- eo0.000 agricultural bill because or its rider repeating the daylight say ing act, the House refused, by a vote of PAT to 1855, to pass the measure over the presidents veto. Strengrn mustered by the repeal advocate was eight votes less than the necessary twothirds of the members present. Party lines were disregarded in the voting Members from agricultural districts-the source of most of the pposition-favored passage or the bill. Representative from the urban districts opposed it.
 House advocates oe the repeal said after the agricultural bill had been sent back to committee for elemina- ton of the repeal provision that no further effort would be made at this Congress to eliminate the daylight saving act
 Senate leaders also indicated that nc action would be originated in that body te repeal the act, and failure of the House to pass the appropria- tion measure over the presidential ve- to will prevent any action by the Senate on the repeal rider.
