ONLY 80 FOUND
WET" IN MONTH

Announcement by the city police
department that arrests for drunken
ness in Wilmington during May lust
passed numbered only 80, as com
pared with i5S for the corresponding
month a year ago, caused tubiliation
in the ofice OF the Federal prohibition
director, w. Truxton Boyce, today.
The big decrease in arrests for in
toxication was taken by Mr. Boyce as
pdma facie evidence in support Of the
assertions that the city really Is dry.
Compared with New York. portions
or North Jersey and some other sec
tions OF the country. Wilmington and
Delaware Is like an arid area to an
oasis. " remarked Harry J.. Reinhardt,
a Federal agent attached to Mr.
Boyces staff.
There could be no better indica-
tion OF the suppression, II not elimi-
nation Of the liquor traffic here, than
that Afforded by the police figures"
II further was asserted by the dry
onlcials that whereas a year ago
many intoxicated men were permitted
70 so on their way, provided they
bothered no one, today a man who
Is 'half-seas over is picked up by
the police because his condition is
