DRY LAW ARRESTS INCREASED IN 1880
Manufacture of Corn Sugar Held
 Menace to Law

Washington, July 10 P-Prohi- bition enforcement during the last fiscal year of its operation under the treasury resulted in the arrest of 6S,1S6 persons and seizure of 24.373 stills.
 The arrests showed an increase of approximately 2.ooo over the 1929 fiscal year and of approxi- mately 1000 in the number of stills seized. The figures included the number of: arrests and seizures for Il months of the year and est- mated arrests and seizures for June.
 Prepared by Old Bureau
 These statistics were prepared by the old prohibition bureau which operated upder Prohibition Com missioner Doran until the depart nent of justice took over prohlbi- ton enforcement on July 1 and showed that about 1,320,000 gallons of spirits and S,o00,o0o gallons of malt liquor had been seized. In ad- dition agents of the bureau seized SITS automobiles.
 During the year the majority of stills were captured in the southern states About 50 per cent had q capacity of less than 100 gallons daily while five per cent had ca pacity of 500 gallons a day. Of the total the figures showed only about two per cent were found to be op- erating on denatured alcohol while the others used corn. corn meal, corn sugar, molasses and cane sugar to produce liquor,
 Get Many Stills
 Many stills captured in the south were of the old moonshine variety which were operating before there was a prohibition law.
 Corn sugar stills during the last years have shown an increase. Dor an recently said this variety of il- licit distillers had turned to corn sugar and were producing as good a grade of alcohol as that turned out in the industrial plants operat- ing under permits. At that time he pointed to the huge increase in manufacture of corn sugar as one of the outstanding menaces which the bureau had to face.
