MORE FINES
IMPOSED and
CASES TRIED
Increase Shown In
Seizure of Cars
And Boats

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA @(9-
The first months work by the big
gest federal dry army in history
was reported today by the prohibi-
ton bureau to 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
egnts engineered 6,623 cases IN
which arrests were made. that S.
003 men were ordered held by COM
missioners, and that 1,l39 jail SEN
fences totalling ASP years were i'm
posed along with 1,47l fines ag-
~gregating SPILL 55.
Wooucock Careful
Prohibition director Woodcock,
however, was careful OF placing too
much weight upon cold figures
produced bs his statistical division.
Its true,' he said, that We pro-
duced more cases this July than
last, but it's a little too early 10
make definite comment. The most
significant thing is that a greater
number Of pail sentences were i'm
posed.
we like to assume that the
cases were more important and bet
ter made. but we can't tel delln-
itely yet
The federal dry chief pointed out
that although a greater number
OF fines were imposed this July
than last, that the total OF all
fines was not as great. In contrast,
however, he indicated the 1,l39 jail
sentences as against the 857 Tor
July, 1880.
Docket Clearer
Still another favorable factor, he
said, was the fact that only 1864
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
1928 as against 1922: the seizure
of beer fermenters 1859 as against
2.599: the seizure Of 395,6l9 gal
Ions Of beer and 99.4l4 gallons Of
LIQUOR against 696.35l gallons Of
beer and 1882 4gallons OF 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 1913 auto
mobiles and boas against 727 dur
ing July 1880.
