Good Effects of
Prohibition Are
Already Manifest

Milwaukee, June 29.-Evldence mas
been found which seems to indicate
that prohibition, even with the diff
Guilty of perfect enforcement, seems
to have a decided effect upon GRIM
inality. Professor j. L. Gillin, of the
University of Wisconsin told the Ma
tional Conference of Social Work at
its session here this morning.
The study of the situation In
Grand Rapids. Mich.." Prof. Gillin
stated, showed that during the first
year of prohibition there. there was
reduction of 81 per cent. in court
cases and of 40 per cent the second
year. 1t is well known fact that
the excessive use of alcohol IS con-
nected with certain crimes more di-
rectly than with others. Crimes of
violence are more influenced than
crimes of cunning.
CDR. Elwood told us that alcoholic
psychosis had decreased in the New
York State Hospital since prohibition
went into effect. The percentage of
first admissions decreased from Sc
per cent. to 4 per cent. in 1919.
"In Indiana, in 1920, the average
daily number in the State Prison was
only 900 as compared with 12O9 IN 1911.
In the reformatory the number had
decreased from 1916 in 1917 to 709 in
1920: in the Woman's Prison from So
to As. The number of women mis-
demeanants in the Correctional De-
partment of the Woman's Prison had
decreased from Ill to 81; the misde-
meanants at the State Farms had
decreased from 693 to 293. There was
a slight decrease in the number in the
Boys School, and slight increase in
the number in the Girls School for
those years. The commitments to the
State Farm dropped from 1922 in 1916
to 993 in 1920; to the Correctional De-
partment of the Woman's Prison
from 342 to 81; the number sentenced
to jails from 1896 to 1892
"a study reported by Mrs. Tyson in
Pennsylvania, shows the number of
non-support cases in Pittsburgh
dropped from 1855 in 1919 to 1856 in 1920
The Jail population of the State was
decreased by half during last year.
I'm spite of the increase in arrests
and commitments due to the enforce
ment of the prohibitory law which
tends to increase the number of
crimes and prisoners, in Ohio the
Secretary of the Board of Charities
writes me that he is convinced that
prohibition has resulted thus far in
decrease of at least 20 per cent. in
petty and major offences which were
crimes prior to the enactment Of the
prohibition law.
George S. Wilson, Secretary Of the
Board of Charities of the District Of
Columbia. writes me that the short
experience of the District since Ma
tional Prohibition has gone into effect,

Trouble With Mails

the delay in this rubber stamp in

Received from Mailbag Store
House, Wash, D. c." Now what do
you think of that, Watson?-Bidde-

The Free Press has had some trou-
BILE with the mails. Perhaps the Bid
deford Journal has, also. In a num-
Der of instances complaints have
been made by subscribers that they
have not received their papers, and
inasmuch as the papers are sent out
regularly every week from our office,
the trouble seems fairly chargeabR to
Uncle Sans postal service. Post
master General Hays has been very
busy in humanizing the postal serv-
ice. 1t is to be hoped that he will
soon give his earnest attention to de-
Burlesonizing it, to the end that the
annoying d, lays and mistakes in the
transportation and delivery of mail

will be carried out by means of the
loan of $24, 900, 900 negotiated by the
Bank of Chile and q group of North
American bankers, announcement of
which was made yesterday.
The loan, which was made through
the Guaranty Trust Company of New
York City, will mature in twenty years.
but may be repaid before that time, at
the option of the Chilean government.
Fifteen per cent of the gross earnings
Of the state lines will be set aside for
the paSment of this loan. and the re-
funding OF the money will be in &C
cordanco with the provision OF the Law
authorizing the President TO contract
the debt. The interest rate was fixed
at per cent.
The physical difficulties encountered

a bill was drawn up and sent TO Con
gress proposing authorization of loan
OF S7,775,000. This amount was re-

This Sure Thing Did Not Pan opt

Question - In October, 1870. I bought
twenty-five shares OF American Trio Corpo-
ratiou a. IL, with positive assuranc4 that Il
would be placed on the Stock Exchange
on Novembe Is at Is. at which time they
would sell. II did not appear thu ex-
change on that date. and it can be bought
for al the present time. I paid $50
cash, balance due January IS. Docs the
stock warrant my paying the balance 3?
what 7 have paid IF. S. P.
Answer--In other words, you ac-
cepted somebody's assurance that ne
was letting you in on sure way to
make 80 per cent on your money in few
weeks Instead of that, you have lost
more than 10 per cent, because Amer
lean Tire Company common stock re-
Gently was freely offered At 81 and S3
q share. You now owe the company
$3.50 for twenty-five shares that you
might hope to sell for s75. We do not
know whether you could get that. We
have not seen the contract you signed,
but ii it is like most Of them the
sellers are not compelled to issue stock
for what you have paid in, and might
even compel you TO pay the balance if
they dared TO try. Next time some
one assures you that he will sell stock
for you at given time at SO per
cent advance, or ary advance st all,
set him down for crude liar, whose
estimate eff your intelligence is far
from fattering.
