BOOZE ARRESTS
INCREASE CITY
POLLS REVEAL
81 of Largest U. S. Cities
Yield Statistics on Dry
Law InfraCtionS.
BY ROSCOE B. FLEMING

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-There
were more than 100000 arrests a
year for drunkenness and offences
growing out of drunkenness in 81
large cities of the United States
in 1926 ad 1927.
The figures are almost double
the arrests for the same list of
cities in 1921, three years after the
birth of prohibition.
They were presented to the House
by Representative Linthicum OF
Maryland in connection with a
speech in which he declared that
major crimes, as we'll as deaths
from alcoholism, and from causes
attributed to alcohol, also had
shown tremendous increase.
Show 4O1, 900 Total
His figures were collected by tele-
graph fom the police chiefs of the
cities represented. They show to-
tai Of SOL $50 arrests in 1927 and
41O,989 in 1926, against showing
of 214,224 in 1921.
Among the figures for individual
cities are:
New York, 1921 arrests, 6,237;
1926, 1880; 1927, 1897: These fig
ures also included arrests for drunk
and disorderly conduct, and fol
driving while drunk.
Pittsburgh: 1921 arrests, 1851,
1925, 29,427: 1927, 34,070. This in.
crease Of three times since 1921
was the greatest attributed to any
large city.
Baltimore: 1921 arrests, 1888,
1926, 5,755; 1927. 5,475.
Increases in Washington
Washington: 1921 arrests, 6,375
1926, 1915; 1922, 1892.
Birmingham: 1921 arrests, LIB
1926, 1886; 1927. 5,8l5.
Knoxville: 1922, arrests, 2,753
1926, 1881: 1927, 4,181.
Cleveland: 1921 arrests, 5,166
1926. 1882; 1927, 1O,35O. The peal
in Cleveland had amounted to 49,
1893 in 1925, so the figures for the
last two years represent a large re,
duction.
Cincinnati: 1921 arrests, SOB; 1926
$500; 1927, $500.
San Francisco: 1921 arrests, 3,487

Several Captured in Booze Running
From Canada.
By United Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-Or-
ganization rum trusts are now en-
ploying young women as liquor
smugglers and bootleg distributors,
it was learned at the Treasury today.
Assistant Secretary of Treasury
Lowman said a number of young
women, some hardly out of their
teens, had been captured recently
when they attempted to smuggle
whisky from Canada.
He said such women work on a
straight commission basis, bringing
automobile loads of rum across the
border. They hope to avoid close
inspection by their winning ways, it
was said. Authorities also said big
liquor vendors employ young girls
to make city deliveries. as they are
less apt to be suspected by police.

BOTH PARTIES
FACE ROWS ON
DRY QUESTION
Increasing Evidences Grow
of Possible Campaign
Fights on Issue.
BY PAUL r. MALLON
United Press STAFF Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.-In-
creasing evidences of possible cam
paign trouble over the prohibition
issue we're displayed today in both
Republican and Democratic circles
here.
Senator Willis of Ohio, has started
a movement to write a bone dry
plank in the Republican platform
which wet men in the party fear
may chase away damp" Republican
votes in the election.
simultaneously, Senator Bruce,
Democratic wet of maryland, has
begun action in Democratic ranks to
hinder advancement of Senator
Walsh of Montana, as a dry Catholic
to oppose Governor Al Smith of
New York.
Answer Borah's Quiz
The Willis movement was started
after Senator Borah had started
circulating his prohibition question
aire among candidates for the Re
publican presidential nomination
Borah wants to place the candidates
on record as to the degree of dry
ness they will represent should they
get the party nomination.
Thus far, Borah has addressed
Willis. Curtis of Kansas and Her
bert Hoover. Willis answered with
an announcement he would de-
mand strong and unwavering
plank for prohibition enforcement.
Curtis said he is dry and always has
been. Hoover, generally known as
dry, is now framing a reply which
is expected to be made public next
week.
Soon, Borah plans to address sim
liar questions to Lowden of Illinois
and Watson of Indiana.
Vets in the Republican ranks do
not intend to make a fight at the
convention against a moderately
dry plank but they do not want a
plank such as Willis would write.
Smith, Reed In Saddle
Senator Edge, New Jersey wet, is
one of two Republican leaders in
the Senate who has come out for
Hoover. The other is Senator Jones
Of Washington, strong DIR.
Some of Hoover'S friends fear he
will ALLEVIATE vets like Edge if he
consents to Willis dry plank. Willis
has charged that the pro- Hoover
, movement in Ohio results largely
from Willis championship Of the
Anti-Saloon League cause.
In Democratic ranks, Smith and
another listed as a wet, Reed of
Missouri, appear to have the upper
hand for the time being at least.
There have been reports for some
time that McAdoo supporters IA
vored Walsh of Montana, to oppose
Smith because then the Smith OPP
position could not be placed on
religious grounds.
