Wood Alcohol Fatal
to Many Drinkers
Appetite and Greed Combine to
Take Lives

During the holiday season, accord
ing to newspaper reports, about Us
deaths resulted from the drinking of
wood alcohol in the United States.
The number OF deaths in Chicago
from this cause up TO December 30
was Is. The greatest number of
wood alcohol deaths from any one
city is reported from Chicopee, Mass,
where 81 died since Christmas.
welye deaths are reported fr. - -.
York City, Is from Hartford, Conn,
and 10 from Holyoie, Mass Other
deaths arc reported from about a
dozen different places, mostly in the
East.
In some cases the wood alcohol
was sold by druggists and thcn used
by purchasers, in many cases igno-
rantly, with home-mixcd liquors The
greatest number Of deaths, however,
seem to have resulted from the sale
OF wood alcohol connection sold by
dealers as whisky While the total
number of deaths throughout the ma
ton is large a comparison with the
record of deaths formerly resulting
from beverage alcohol indicates a
great saving OF life by Prohibition.
In Chicago, for instance, the total
number OF wood alcohol fatalities dur
ing the Christmas season was only
Is. In the old days, according to an
official at the morguc, from Is to so
bodies went unclaimed to the potter's
field every two weeks. From one to
five bodies OF alcoholics came from
the bridewcll every day. A body a
day formerly came from the West
Madison Street barrel-house district.
Since July very few deaths from
alcoholism occurred the total being
reduced between Is to 90 per cent.
The above figures for Chicago do not
take into account the hundreds of
deaths formerly caused by beverage
alcohol that did not come to the at
tention of the keepers of the morgue.
Because OF the great publicity given
to wood alcohol casualties it is easy
to gain the impression that the total
of drink fatalities is greater now than
before the nation went dry. AS
matter of fact, had the drink casual
ties been reported in former years the
total would have been far greater than
the number of wood alcohol deaths.

IMMIGRANTS CLOG ELLIS ISLE
5000 Come in 48 Hours-No Room
for "Red" Deportation Colony
(By the Associated Press)

New York, Dec. 27.-Heavy immi-
grafton is so taxing the facilities of
Ellis island that officials expressed
doubt today whether there would be
another concentration of anarchists
there i'll the near future for deporta-
ton.
During the last forty-eight hours
some 5000 immigrants have arrived in
port, and today 1,l6S were detained at
the island for further examination as
to their fitness for admission to this
country. The personnel at the island
was not large enough to handle any
more, it was said.
These reports do not harmonize
with the predictions of the vets who
said that immigration to the United
States would stop on accountof Pro-
hibition. The situation seems to be
that SO many Europeans are coming
here Of their own free will that there
is no room to load the passengers that
Uncle Sam is sending out OF the coun-
try against their will.

Whisky Is Rushed
Toward the Ocean
Distillers in Mad Race to Beat Con-
stitutional Prohibition

The old figure or speech about kick
ing booze into the ocean has become
a reality. Immediately following the
decision of the Supreme Court OF the
United States upholding the constitu-
tionality of War Prohibition distillers
started sending whisky to the seacoast
Tor expectation. This presents the
only way in which whisky can be
disposed OF for beverage purposes un-
der the war law.
II is reported that $24,000,000 worth
OF whisky is being sent from Louis
vile to the eastern seaboard. 1t is
TO be exported to various foreign
countries An armed guard is said to
be travelling with each trainload of
whisky to prevent theft OF the out
lawed beverage.
A trainload OF y cars of whisky
worth $7,000,000 was sent from Peoria
soon after the Supreme Court deci-
sion. 1t is said to be destined for
Cuba. The train was accompanied
by armed guards.
Large quantities of whisky arc also
going from Chicago to the sea. Much
of it will be shipped to Cuba.

Chicago Police Chief
Says Prohibition
Kept Crime Low

Alderman Cermak, secretary OF the
United Societies and leader OF the
vets. was discussing the crime situa-
tion in the Chicago council. WHY
Is the bridewell empty" he asked
IN the course OF his remarks on the
police system. What followed ap-
pears in the verbatim report OF the
Daily News:
1T you want to know why--al-
though you know well-it's because
of Prohibition" retorted Alderman
Guernsey to the United Societies
leader, and all the vets on the COM
nittee bristled angrily. cermak grew
purple and turned to Chief Garrity
with the demand:
Then why is the Jail full of crirni-
mails and why have the bandits, burg
lars. murderers and big thieves run
wilder than ever before, since Prohi-
bition?"
Clarity answered sharply:
That isn't true--there were 10000
felonies in 1916 before the war and
Prohibition, and there won't be a to-
tai of 10000 this year. This has been
an abnormal year, but the police de-
partment has done the best it could
and has succeeded fairly WE'LL

State Court Upholds
Dry Enforcement Law
One Section Only Declared To Be
Invalid

As briefly told i'll a telegraph dis
patch in the last number OF the Issue
the Supreme Court of Illinois on De-
cember II upheld the Illinois Prohibi-
ton enforcement act. The case in
which the decision was made was ap-
pealed to the Supreme Court from the
verdict of Circuit Judge Barnes Of
McHenry county.
Victory for the Dry Forces
The decision upholds the right OF
the state to fix one-half OF one per
cent as the limit af alcohol in a bev-
erage, and sustains the sections OF the
law providing for search and seizure.
The heavy penalties for violations are
held valid.
The effect of the courts decision is
explained by Frank 3. Ebbert, attor-
ney for the Anti-Saloon League, as
follows:
"In the case OF The People V. Har-
vey Marquis, ct al, decided by the
Illinois Supreme Court at its Decem-
Der term, covering the constitutional
ity OF the Search and Seizure Law, the
court held in this opinion that this act
was constitutional in all respects with
the exception of portion OF Section
10 This section provides that all in
toxicating liquor, vessels, implements,
furniture and vehicles seized shall be
destroyed upon proof that any OF
these articles were used in violation
of the Search and Seizure Act.
"The opinion of the Supreme Court
holding as to this section is as fol-
lows:
"Our conclusion is that the pro-
vision of the Search and Seizure Act
for the destruction of the intoxicating
liquor and other property seized, un-

THE CITIZENS PART

In the unending strife for
civic betterment, small is the
use of those people who mean
well, BUT WHO MEAN
WELL FEEBLY. The man
that counts is the man who is
decent, and who makes himself
felt as a force for decency, a
force for clean living, for civic
Righteousness. That is the man
that counts.-Theodore Roose-

Excerpts From Resolutions

On the subject OF war Prohibition
the resolutions said:
1t is the unanimous opinion OF
this Board OF Trustees, represent
ing the religious and reform
bodies of Illinois, that any inter-
probation OF wartime Prohibition
or any relaxing in the enforce
ment of this measure that would
release upon the country alcoholic
beverages before the coming of
National Prohibition on January
10 would be not only colossal
blunder but frightful crime for
which there could never be any
justification in the minds of
American citizens.
The resolutions praise Judge Ian

forcement. Thanks are expressed foi

Whisky, properly made, is aged

poison. Frequently fusel oil is pres
