STANTON SAYS PROHIBITION
HAS INCREASED CRIME
BY Associated Press to Every Evening.

BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening.
Washington. Nov. 22---Statistics is
sued today by the Census Bureau
showing increases in the number Of
prisoners in state and Federal institu-
tions since the wet" year, 1917, re-
veal that the Eighteenth Amendment
and the Nolstead act have not been
deterrents to crime, W. II, Stayton
founder and head of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment.
declared today.
Information gathered by his asso-
citation. he added. proved conclusively
tha. the crime increase noted in the
government report is attributed 10 the
drastic prohibition legislation through
the demonstrated fact that the larger
percentage of increases are directly
due to arrests and sentences for causes
arising from the use of intoxicants.
with the main increase occurring in
the so-called prohibition period Of
1920 &c 1922"
Convictions under the Federal pro-
hibiticn laws, Mr.. Stayton declared
are known TO be not only Widespread
but to be increasing at a progressively
alarming rate" The statistics, he
said, answer both the stock argumen;
of the Anti-Saloon League that pro-
hibiticn would empty the jails' and
its later challenge of the significance
of the figures adduced by our associa-
ton in 1921 comparing crime data
for that and the previous years"

washington, Nov. 22.-According to
figures compiled by the Bureau OF
Census OF the Department OF Com
merce, the number of prisoners con-
fined in Federal, state and county
penal institutions increased by 1O.9S6
since 1917. In 1922 the prisoners In
penal institutions numbered 1bl,172.
as compared with 140,lS6 in 1917.
In the State Of Delaware, however
IT, ere has been decrease of 35.5 per
cent in the number OF criminals con-
fined in 1922 and the number confined
in 1917. On July l, 1922. according to
the report there were 371 persons i'm
prisoned in Delaware, while in 1917
there were SIS. No State prison is
maintained In Delaware.
The returns were obtained in re-
sponse to a circular OF inquiry which
the Bureau OF Census mailed to the
various institutions, as a preliminary
to the complete decennial census OF
prisoners. which will be taken in 1928
The present figures include prisoners
awaiting trial and few persons held
as witnesses. as well as prisoners ser
wing sentence.
The number OF prisoners in Federal
penitentiaries increased from 3,01S on
July /, 1917, TO 5.540 on July /. 1922
During the same period the number
of inmates of state prisons increased
from 71,442 to 7S,673. and the number
of inmates Of county jails, from 4l,S7l
to 44,2S3. Persons confined in city
penal institutions decreased in num-
Der from 1856 to 2l,635. The data as
to prisoners in Federal and stat
penal institutions are presumably
complete and accurate for both 1925
and 1917. The combined total cf per-

The Preaident, however, accepts the
challenge OF the opponents to his ship
ping policy. His first move to defeat
an extra session OF ConGreSs two
weeks ahead OF the appointcd\ time
His second move was his address to-
day--an address as strongly buttressed
With fact and logic as any he he'd de-
iivered since he came into power. His
next move, IL is we'll understood, is to
be series OF appeals to the country
for its support.
The President lays down the broad
proposition that Congress must take
one OF three concrete courses OF action
He insists that 1t must pass the pend
ing bill, subsidizing privately owned
and operated steamship lines, or con-
tinue the Government operation Of its
merchant feet, paying out tens OF
millions OF dollars annually to keep
alive its merchant marine, or scrar
the whole business, ''confessing our
impotence to the world"
He asserts that choice between
these courses is unacceptable. He re.
fuses to believe that nation which ha,
$4,000, 100000 invested in shipping as
sets il willing to dissipate those assets
by deliberately scrapping nearly 2,oo'
serviceable merchant ships. He woult
look upon that as nothing short OF {
Humiliation before the competing
world"
Leaving that out Of the deal, Con
gress must either elect to keep th'
Government in, the shipping business
at cost OF not less than sh0,ooooo
a year to cover operating deficits, o
must provide subsidy which will en-
able the Government to retire fron
this business, to realize what IT ma,

Bankers Seek to Group
Chain Grocery Stores
By InternationaI News Service.

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-Certain
bankers have recently sought to
form a combination Of a number Of
companies operating chain grocery
stores. Up to date their efforts
have been unsuccessful. but 1t would
not be surprising IL a consolidation
of some is announced next year.
Efforts have been made to in
duce the Atlantic and Pacific and
the Jones Brothers Tea companies
to consent to become the nucleus
of a combination. The manage
ments, however. have refused to en-
tertain such propositions. These
are considered the strongest OF the
chain grocery companies.
A combination of some stores is
considered highly desirable by bank
ers, who say competition is so great
In the metropolitan district that
profits are small.
One banker estimates that the to-
tai volume of chain stores business
IN the United States Is less than
eight per cent. of the total grocery

NEW YORK, Nov. .2o.-Since the
recent break In the stock market
the general public is showing less
Inclination to become interested
daily In securities. This showed
confirmation today In the smallest
tone ever witnessed in any session
IN many weeks. Buying, In gen
eral, brought strength to the most
active shares, which advanced from
, to . points. Buying was more
individual than general, the ao'
vances being the largest In those
issues which anticipated favorable
Developments in connection with
their own companies. Transporta-
ton shares were slightly higher,
but interest was greatest In the
public Industrial and public util'
ities.

Money rates stiffened. advancing

to 5 per cent. A favorable develop

BOND TAXATION.
What might have been readily
used by the professional bears as
ammunition passed without any ef-
feet on the stock market. This was
the Supreme Court decision that
states could tax Liberty bonds held

with apprehension. In the absence
of further details, bond men said the

MOTOR SHARES.
Strength of the motor shares re-
fleets buying by people who are
anticipating a big business next year
by the motor companies Bankers
who have had close dealings with
the motor ccHpanies declare that
the time to buy their stocks is In the
winter when the automobile business
has a season contraction.
The street is disappointed at the
failure Of General Motors shares to
show price enhancement following
resumption Of dividends. There are
70. $50, $50 shares of General Motors,
common. outstanding. Rumors are
heard that the directors have been
considering informally replacing the
par value of 800 which was changed
to no par value in January, 1920.
THE SHORT INTEREST.
While the demand in the loan
crowd for stocks after the close was
not important, there are a number
Of spec. .alties in which a large short
interest has accumulated. This Is
particularly true OF Coca Cola, in
which many Of the shorts ran to
cover today, forcing the quotation
up three points A battle in the
stock is declared to be under way
between two important operators,
one being on the short side and the

Curb Stocks.

NEW YORK. Nov. 20.-Trading In
curb stocks today developed into q
confusing mixture of price fluctua-

out prominently, while stocks in
which losses were recorded received

The short interests were made un-
comfortable in many issues and re-
newed accumulation Of pipe line
shares was responsible for new high
records.
Standard Oil securities eased off
after rising few points at the Open

Trading in the industrial group
was well distributed, though move
ments were erratic. Motor stocks
were quite active and mixed.
The recent revival Of activity In
mining stocks was accompanied with
rising prices. Lead was more active
and reached a new high for the cur
