Foreign delegates at the w. G. T.
U. convention were greatly agltated
over Mayor Moore's statement about
the alleged INCREASE. OF arrests for
drunkenness in Philadelphia, and
requested Wayne B. Wheeler, Of
Washington, at the night meeting TO

standpoint
drunkenness or arrests for drunk
enness increase under prohibition.

compare wet years with dry years.
In Philadelphia the average arrests
for 1917 and 1918 were 40.117 per
year; for 1921 and 1922, adding one
sixth for the remaining two months
OF 1929, the average number OF ar
rests is 83i250, or decrease Of al

The mayor accepted the challenge
by requesting the individual TO make
himself committee of one to furnish
evidence on which the police could
work to arrest violators OF the pro-
hibtion law.
Miss Agnes e Slack, one OF Eng
fish delegates, who has a prominent
place on the program, engaged the
mayor in spirited discussion. She
charged that the increase OF arrests
for drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct during the last two years, which
the mayor had just cited, was the
result OF work by drinking interests
