EIGHT INDICTED M RTOTING CASE Stuttgart Grand Jury With
 holds Names Of The
 Accused Men

STUTTGART, Ark, Dec. 14. = Eight indictments were returned late today by the special grand jury which convened here Monday to in- vestigate the recent attack on the office of the Free Press, a weekly newspaper, and affairs of the Arkan- sas Rice Growers Cooperative as sociation. It was understood that several persons were named in each indictment.
 The names of the men indicted were not made public pending their arrest. After returning the indict- ments the grand jcry adjourned cntil Monday.
 In his charge to the jury Judge George W. Clark instructed the in. quisitors to investigate not only the attack on the Free Press office in which 16 unmasked men are alleged to have participated and affairs of the association, but to extend it's in- vestigation to any other matter af- fecting the rice growing industry that might come to its attention.
 The grand jury was empaneled last Monday, several days after the mob stormed the office of the news paper, beat R. A. Barry and T. F. Lawson, editors of the paper, and wrecked the plant.
 Lawson was so badly injured that it was necessary to take him to a hospital in Little Rock for treat ment. Barry was not badly hurt.

MENACE OF BOOZE
INCREASED IN N. Y.
Reports Show Figures Worse
Than Any Time Since 1914

New York. Sept. 22-Statistics COM
piled by the Department of Public
Welfare on prohibition, made public
yesterday, show that alcoholism is
on the increase. and, according to DR..
John F. Fitzgerald, general medical
superintendent of the department, is
| more of menace today than since
1914.
Based on the reports of DIR. Fitz-
gerald and DR.. Walter H. Conley,
medical superintendent of the Metro
politan hospital Commissioner Coler
of the Department OF Public Welfare
announced figures showing that dur
ing the first six months of this year
1,190 cases of alcoholism were treat
ed in the hospitals under the jurisdic-
ton of the department. As compared
with the total number of patients
treated, of which there we're 1855
during this period, fifty-fve out of
every 1000 were alcoholics. Com
missioner Coler declared the statistics
showed that cases of alcoholism were
increasing at an alarming rate, and
we're more violent and deadly than
heretofore.
Hospital Gases Double.
When prohibition went into effect"
said DIR. Fitzgerald in his report.
there was marked slump In the
number of alcoholics. due mainly to
the. fear of bad liquor and partly to
the difficulty in getting it and high |
prices. The statistics show that hos |
pital cases Of alcoholism were at |
their lowest ebb in 1853, when |
only twenty-seven and twenty-eight |
put of every thousand patients were
alcoholics. From 1919 on the increase
has been very steady. Last year the
was more than double
hat of 1919. The slight decrease
Turing the first six months of this
rear is due probably to the fact that
he liquor is getting better.
1T is an indisputatle fact that
liquor now Is easier to get and that
I is of much better quality than
hat obtainable heretofore since pro-
libition. This might argue against
he theory that cases Of alcoholism
eauirine hospital attention are on

sum total of their drinking is not ~

they drink more at one time than they
did"
Liquor and Drugs
The relation between alcoholism
and drug addiction, according to DR..
Fitzgerald, is shown by the small
number of drug addicts treated during
the years when alcoholism was ram
pant and its rapid increase when pro-
hibition set in and alcoholics were
fewer In number. When good liquor
is readily obtainable drug addiction IS
less prevalent, he said. He ventured
the opinion that people who drink
will not resort to drugs 50 long as
they are able to get good liquor.
