OF REILLY NINE NO. I
SAYS CRIME GROWS
UNDER PROHIBITION
Founder of Association Against 18th
Amendment Uses Govern
ment Figures.

Washington, ID. c., Nov. %. Sta
tistics issued to-day by the census bu-
reau showing increases in the number
of prisoners in state and federal insti-
tutions since the wet year 1917, re-
veal that the 18th amendment and the
Volstead act have not been deterrents
to crime, W. II. Stayton, founder and
head Of the association against the pro-
hibition amendment, declared to-day
Information gathered by his associa-
tion, he added, proved conclusively
that the crime increase noted in the
government report is attributable to
the drastic prohibition legislation
through the demonstrated fact that the
larger percentage of increases are di-
rectly due. to arrests and sentences for
causes arising from the use of intoxi-
cants, with the main increase occur
ing in the so-called prohibition period
of 1920 to 1922"
Convictions under the federal prohi-
bition 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 argument of
the Anti-Saloon league" that prohibi-
tion would empty the jails" and sits
later challenge of the significance OF
the figures adduced by our association"
in 1921 comparing crime data for that
and the previous years.

With An,- Other
HUSTIS DE JARED
AT PUBL &c HEARING
Says Stoc .slolders' Wishes
Should s5e Taken Into
c ,nsideration

Boston, Nov. 22. Proposals for con
soIidation Of New England railroads
with each other. or with connecting
trunk lines, were discussed by Presi-
dent James H. Hustis Of the Boston &
Maine railroad and President II. j.
Pearson Of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford railroad to-day at con
tinued hearing held at the State House
by the governors committee to investi-
gate the railroad problem.
The Boston & Maine is seeking no
alliance at this time with any rail-,
road in or out of New England, Presi-
dent Hustis said Such an alliance,
the road management feels, would not
be beneficial to the property at the
present time. The question being one
for careful study, however, he said the
present was good time to consid-
er it.
The Boston & Maine head urged the
need for regulating motor truck traf-
fic where, as common carrier in inter
state or intrastate traffic, it came into
competition with the railroads, which
were subject to such regulation.
President Pearson said that some at
tention should be given to the rights Of
stockholders in the plans for consolidn
tion. None of the plans thus far I'D
vanced, he said, had taken the stock
holders into consideration notwitl
standing that they had suffered muci.,
and for long time.

WOMAN WHO CLAIMED
HEARD SHOTS TESTTFTES
Mrs. Emma Voorhees, Was First Wit.
ness Before Grand Jury To-day
in Hall-Mills Case.

Somerville, N. r., Nov. 22 (By the
Associated Press Mrs. Emma vor-
hees, who is said to have heard shots
fired ON the Phillips farm about 10
o'clock the night of the Hall-Mills muir
der, was the first witness called before
Che Somerset county grand jury to-
day when it opened the third session
of its investigation.
Special Deputy Attorney General
Mott and other prosecutors held a
brief conference before the jury con-
vened. II was indicated that the evil
dence to be presented to-day would be
to establish the motive for the slay-
ines. sn
Detective George Totten of Somer-
set county was the second witness.
He was in the jury room for short
time and was followed in turn by Mrs.
j. C.. FraleY, her daughter, Catherine
Sigourney Smith, and Harry McCabe,
all living in the vicinity of the Phil
lips farm. They were questioned re-
garding the shots fired and the hour.
In the grand jury witness room,
Charlotte Mills, daughter of the slain
choir singer, sat with Barbara Tough
and Louise Geist, maids in the Hall
home, discussing winter costumes they
intended purchasing.

Turkey Wanted All Terri
tory of Western Thrace
Held in 1913 !

| Lausanne, Nov. % tBy the Associ-
ated Press The question of the dis
position of western Thrace came def
nitely before the powers to-day, when
Pa ha presented to the commission ON
military and territorial matters Tur-
keys claim to all the territory EN-
braced within her frontiers of 1918.
NJ. Venizelos, for Greece, immedi-
ately opposed the claim, and was sup
ported by the Jugo -Slavs and Ruma-
mans, who favored maintaining the
Martha river as the western bound
ary of Turkey in Europe and agreed
with him that there should not be even
a plebiscite to decide the sovereignty
Of the disputed territory, as Ismet
suggested.
A delegation representing Syria ar
rived to-day, demanding that the con-
ference grant independence to their
country, which was given the statute
Of French mandatory state by the
allied supreme council at San Reno
in 1920
In presenting his demands for West
ern Thrace, Ismet limited himself to a
bare claim for the territory and a vote
by the inhabitants, Lord Curzon, who
was presiding, pressed Ismet for an
argument in support Of the claim but
the Turkish delegate, while reinforcing
his opening statement slightly, showed
a disposition to wait until all the
others had laid their cards on the table.
Ex Premier Venizelos began his
argument against the claim by feeling
ly contrasting the broken Greece Of
to-day with the Greece that, he said,
had carried on the war against Turkey
for the allies. Greece after all, was
one of the allies, he declared, while
Turkey was on the enem. side.
The present conference was not be-
ing held simply to settle the differences
between tie allies and one of the
they had vanquished.
At this afternoons session Premier
of Bulgaria was prepared
to present his views on this question
and with regard to Bulgaria's claim for
her promised outlet to the sea.

one or two operators were quoted to
that effect, as1failed to materialize,
according to a survey Of fuel condir
tions based on statements of state fuel
and railway commission officials and
coal operators In middle western
states.
The wide publicity, combined with
an unusually warm autumn, discour-
aged buying by domestic consumers TO
such an extent that there has been q
noticeable drop in prices. This is par
ticularly noted in those coal producing
areas where freight rates for short
hauls are not major factor in set
ting the retail prices
Typical of the general trend, accord
ing to Robert Medill, state fuel adj
ministrator of Illinois, are prices at
the central Illinois mines. Immediate
ly after the strike the operators quot
ed screenings, their lowest grade coal,

Last week central Illinois screenings
were offered as low as $l.50 and in
spite of the reduction the mines are
unable to book enough orders TO aver
age fifty per cent production.
Similar price reductions are reported
from several states. In Kansas dealers
are selling coal at one to two dollars
