Caif, in alcoholic and
Drug Cases Expected
One Institute Reports Increase
of $50 Per Cent; Patients
Are Sent Out of Danger

"ln times like these prepare for
more" This was the sentiment yestcr-
day of the heads of institutions treat
ing chronic alcoholics and drug addicts
regarding the effect Of prohibition or
their establishments. They expect, as
the result of last nights swan song, a
great increase Of patients.
Dr.. A. Burton Davis, of the Open
hemier Institute, $40 West 1O6th Street
said that although they received a few
more incbriates within the last few
weeks there has been a tremendous in
crease in the number of their drug
patients. The number of his drug
patients, he asserted, has risen to 25o
per cent above the normal.
There certainly will be a large mum
Der Of drinkers" he said, "who will
need treatment as the result of cX-
cesses covering the pre-prohibitio
period, but | expect the greatest effect
among the drug users. We nrc making
quite unusual preparations to take care
of these rather than a,coholics'
Charles 3. Towns, of the Towns Hos
ptal. at 293 Central Park West, said
that he wos taking no chances with tho
alcoholic patients under his roof and
had them removed to the country, away
from the scene of the "last revels'
He expects some additional patients
who have been celebrating for the last
few weeks. but doesn't believe the
number will be large. He thinks that
although drug using may be expected
to Increase, the forecasts are general y
exaggerated. and he is not preparing
for a great rush at once

Ne1u York Dry Once Before;
Voted Prohibition in 1853
Reform, However, Short.Lived, Court Overturning
Law; Movement for Nationwide Temperance
Dates Back to Early in the Last Century

New Workers.. astounded by the sud
den advance of prohibition, who de-
clared this state never would have voted
dry, probably are unaware that to-day
begins its second experience in that
line New York went dry and by its
own vote, once before. 1t was in 1858,
four years after Maine, pioneering, set
the style The aridity continued only
for short time, however, for the Court
of Appeals declared the law unconsti~
tutional.
Prohibition first began to he heard
OF in this country in 1903. The first
prohibition society, the parent of the
party that kept pegging away with a
forlorn nope until the war furnished
the long hopedfor opportunity, was
formed in that year. But the first move
toward prohibition anywhere was re
corded in the year 1852 in England,
during the reign of Edward VI, when
the Parliament passed an act limiting
the sale Of liquor to such places as
we're demanded by the public
Congress passed the first prohibition
law in 1882. 1t applied only to the sale
of liquor to the Indians. The first pro-
hibtion propaganda appeared in the
United States in 1902. 1t was n book
published by DR.. Benjamin Rush, one

The creates, Of celebration ever held

staged tonight. Liquor stores and

Independence. entitled "An Inquiry
Into the Effect of Ardent Spirits on the
Human Mind and Body"
Prohibition as an organized move
ment, however, did not begin until
after the Civil War There had been
isolated battles against 1iouor before
that time, but organization came only
after immigrants from Germany started
the widespread manufacture OF beer
Maine was the first state to go dry.
It is said that rum brought in by the
ships of Maine traders brought the
state so close to delirium tremens that
1t was forced as measure OF self
preservation to pass the first Neal Dow
law in 1S46. Massachusetts,, Rhode isl.
and and Vermont went dry later, but
afterward voted liquor back.
The prohibition movement. which
reached its flower to- day, ~eally began
in the Middle West, with Kansas as
the leader. 1t spread to the South,
where alcohol proved most dcmoral-
izing factor among the dense negro
populations and aggravated their prob
lem. Many states in that section went
dry between 1905 and 1915. But most
Of the dry laws leaked more or less,
until the Reed amendmcnt to the ship

Wilson With Vets,
Anderson Declares

William H. Anderson, state superin-
tendent of the Anti aloon League Of
New York, issued the following state
nent last night:
with the completion of demobiliza-
tion the war prohibition act would
have ended, regardless Of the Presi-
dents personal views on the question.
But in throwing monkey wrench into
the enforcement cylinder President
Wilson is running true TO form on the
liquor question. In 1917 il was the
prohibition forces and not the brewers
that he asked to quiz. IN 1918 he sug
gestcd that the opera alton Of war pro
hibtion be postponed a year. Last
month he tried to prevent It's going
into effect at all even though he had
signed it, and. unsuccessful IN this, he
now gives the liquor traffic to under
stand that he viii come TO It's rescue
if it can hold on in the meantime.
"The assurance from the Chief En-
ecutive official Of the nation to the
liquor men that he VIII do away with
the law entirely at the earliest pos
sible moment will be taken by the
brewers, who have claimed him as their
ally, as an implied inv vitation TO violate
the law in the interim. The Prcsl-
dents suggestion will tend to paralyzc
the law enforcement machinery of the
government. In the face Of other un-
certaintics. no official can have any
great amount OF heart in enforcing q
law which he knows may be wiped out
from under him at any minute. Re
sponsibility for any disorder Or con-
fusion due to violation Of war prohibit
tion is now located with the President
"In view Of the Presidents second
attempt to put the Republican Con-
grcss in hole on the question he has
no right to complain if people believe
that ne is seeking, in behalf of himself
or whomevcr else he names as the
Democratic nominee in 1920, the sup
port of what is left of the brewery and
liquor interests. The game $ very
simple and obvious. 1t is evidently
