decreased more than 30 per cent in
Chicago during the first year Of pro
bibltion.
The number Of murders dropped
81 per cent. burglaries 10 per cent

While Some officials attributed the

Prohibition has decreased misde-

the cause for Wholesale corruption Of

seldom smokes. He finds his amuse-
ment In gambling.'

ANXIOUS TO
Step DOWN
Wilson's Will Move Into New
Home Day Before the
Inauguration
ny III. n. RICkEy

WASHINGTON, Jan. g5.--Roth
President and Mrs. Wilson are count.
ing the hours which must elapse be.
fore they can retire 10 private life
and take possession OF their new
home on 5 81.
The president realized fully when
the election went against him that
his work In the presidency was fin
ished and that the several months
which must clapso before his success
sor took office must be more or less
a period OF marking time.
He would have been more than
willing to have given way TO the new
administration at once. II such a
thing was possible under the spirit
and letter OF the constitution.
PRESIDENTS HEALTH
IMPROVING DAILY
The presidents health Is said by
those who are in the best position to
know. 20 be improving daily. While
there Is always the possibility OF a
recurrence OF the trouble which came
80 near TO ending Mr.. Wilson's life
In the fall OF 1919. the possibility Is
said 20 be remote in his case because
OF the regularity OF his habits.
From the beginning 81 his con.
valcscenee to the present time he has
followed a regimen Of living worked
out TO the last detail by his physi.
clans.
Nothing has been allowed 10 inter.
fcre with this. Included In this
regimen arc certain number OF
hours each day which he devotes TO
public business.
He has been obliged 10 forcgo Civ.
ing personal attention 20 many mat.
Qers OF secondary Importance which
occupy so much of presidents time
and consume so much OF his energies
under normal conditions. But. bar
ring The short time that Immediately
followed his breakdown. and one or
-<wo short periods OF relapse. there
mas never been a time that matters
soe the first Importance have not had
ihisp ersonal attention. And what II
more. in spite OF vicious rumors TO
the contrary. there has never been
= time since the beginning Of his
eonvalescence that the president has
not been able 10 bring 20 bear on
public matters OF the first import.
1nce an intellect as keen as NJ any
time during his tenure OF office.
NOT PERMITTED TO
RECEIVE VISITORS ID
One OF the things which he has not
oecn permitted to do Is 10 receive
visitors and personally 10 discuss
public questions with them. There
have been so few exceptions 10 this
rule that he has been practically $50
hated so far rs personal contacts are
concerned, excepting as 20 the i'm
mediate members Of his family and
his secretary.
The president and Mrs Wilson will
cake possession Of their new home on
March 3. the day before Senator
Harding is inaugurated.
He will ride to the capitol with
Senator Harding and after the sim.
pie inaugural ceremonies VIII ride
