CRIME DECREASES THIS
YEAR, DUE TO DRY LAWS
"a Per Cent. Decrease in

f Offenders.

There was a "a per cent. decrease IN
the number OF offenders brought before
the courts In seventeen of the larger
cities In this state during the. first
three months of the year. from the
same period last year, according to
Charles L. Chute secretary of the state
probation commission. who attributes
the decrease In crime to prohibition.
His figures show that 45,143 offenders
or all ages were arraigned In these
courts during January. February and
March, 1920. whereas 68, 535 offenders
were brought before the same courts
during the first three months last
year. says the New York Times.
"In the opinion Of practically all the
Judges and probation officers consulted
this remarkable decrease in court work
Is attributable largely to the effects of
prohibition" Mr.. Chute says. I'm prac-
tlcally all the courts by far the great
est decrease has been In cases OF pub

other offenses growing out Of drink.
although there has. been a decrease IN
other offenses as well.
Every court covered by the investi-
cation showed reduction in court
cases due 10 prohibition. There were no
exceptions, For instance. in all the
magistrates courts of New York city
there was a decrease of SO per cent. in
cases OF public intoxcation. Only 914

1.-THE commission finds that whereas
the decrease in court arraignments in
the courts studied was 81 per cent,
the decrease in the number placed on
probation was only 20 per cent. This
indicates that the probation system is
being used in a larger percentage OF
cases. Reports also show that with
the elimination OF habitual drunkards
