MORE fines
IMPOSED AND
| CASES TRIED

WASHINGTON, Aug. IL -CF-
The first months work by the big
geSt federal dry army in history
was reported today by the prohibi-
ton bureau 10 have produced more,
bigger and better cases than did
the smaller force in the correspond
ing month Of July last year.
1t was disclosed that federal
agents engineered 6,623 cases in
which arrests we're made, that s.
003 men were ordered held by COM
missioners. and that 1,139 jail SEN
fences totalling 452 years were I'M
posed along with 1.47i fines az
gregating 1921, ISIS.
Wooucock Careful
Prohibition director Woodcock,
however, was careful Of placing TOO
much weight upon cold figures
produced by his statistical division
Its true" he said, that we pro-
duced more cases this July than
last, but it's a little too early TO
make definite comment. The most
significant thing is that a greater
number Of jail sentences were I'M
posed.
I'VE like to assume that the
cases were more important and bet
ter made. but we can't tell defin-
itely yet"
The federal dry chief pointed out
rlbat although a greater number
az fines were imposed this July
than last, that the total Of all
fines was not as great. In contrast,
however, he indicated the l.l39 jail
sentences a. against the S57 Tor
July, 1880.
Docket Clearer
Still another favorable factor, he
said, was the fact that only 1854
cases remained on the docket at
the end Of the month as compared
with 23,302 at the same time last
year.
The figures showed the seizure OF
stills during the month .totaled
1.T23 as against 1922: the seizure
of beer fermenters 1889 as against
2,599; the seizure OF 395.6l9 gal
Ions of beer and 99.414 gallons OF
liquor against &c., ISL gallons of
beer and 123,524 gallons o. liquor.
However, a larger number OF
permanent injunctions was shown,
the figures being 422 against 1896,
while a similar increase was in
dicated in the seizure Of 898 auto
mobiles and boats against 727 dur
ing July 1880.
