Rise In Prices Of Wheat and Oil Due to War Demand;

The sudden rise of the price of

economic conditions is the result OF
the buying Of these war commodities
in preparation for the attack against

VAST SUM IN
LIQUOR FINES
Total for Ten Months Of
Fiscal Year Well Past
$4,000,00O.

81 IUffCQ PTca8
WASHINGTON, May 14.-Fines
in federal dry law cases In April
throughout the country totaled
1892 488, according to Prohibition
Director Amos Woodcock's monthly
summary.
Total for the ten months of the
fiscal year is well past 100000.
Jail sentences during the month
totaled 2,949, for an aggregate Of
l,712 years.
If this total for April were sub
tracted from the current date, 1881,
it would set the country back in
the days prior to the Arian-Atha-
nasian schism in the Christian
church, about the time of Marcus
Aurelius Antonius, the Roman en-
peror.
Maine, 1t appeared from the sum-
mary, is the place most to be
feared by prohibition law violators
II money is an object.
The average fine in that state
during April was $3.50, as against
a national average Of $146 for the
last ten months.
If loss Of liberty be considered,
West Virginia is the bootlegger's
bane, since the average sentence
there was 500 days, as compared
with the national average Of 221
days.
