PAGE TWO - PROHIBITION IS GREAT SUCCESS SAYS RANDALL Less Claims Made Upon Charit- able Organizations Since Saloons Were Closed SUNSTROKE - ‘BEERSTROKE’ Claim Made That Prohibition Has Not Led To An Increase Of Drug Habits ‘Chicago May 10.—Sharp reduction since the enactment of federal pro- hibition in the number of charges pro- ‘vided for by various charitable, penal and remedial agencies was claimed by the Rev. Edward J. Randall, secretary of the Chicago Diocese of the Protest- ant @piscopal church, in a statement embodying statistics he attributed to public officials and heads of private institutions. ; Closing of sixty-five Neal institutes for the, treatment of inebriates and of the Washington home in Chicago, a decrease in the number of cases of in- temperance investigated by the Unit- ed (Charities of Chicago the year pro- hibition came into effect from the pre- vioug, year, and a decrease in. arrests for drunkenness in Massachusetts be- tween 1917 and 1920 were among the statistics he ited. The statement said that for twelve years prior to the Volstead act the Neal institutions treated 100,000 drink victims, The Rev. Mr. Randall quoted a let- ter from Secretary Evang of the Pe- orla Chamber of Commerce in which it was stated that concerns occupying the old distilleries and brewing plants (at-Peorla) employ more men land more money ‘Ig involved than in the olden days. Our bank clearings thave increased at the rate of $15,000,- 000 each year since that July 1 enact- ment. All the saloon property in Pe- oria is used for soft drink parlors, residences and offices.” Quoting Dr. W. A. Evans formerly Chicago health commissioner as call- \ing sunstroke “beerstroke,” the state- ment declared that deaths from sun- stroke in Chicago in July 1916 were 535, while in July, 1921, they were 23. The weather bureau statistics,of those years, the statement continued show that the weather in July 1921 was 8.8 degrees above normal. The superintendent of the Illinois Children’s Home and Aid Society, was quoted in the-statement as follows: “In 1914, of the 400 children served in our organization, children taken permanently into our guardianship for permanent care, about 25 per cent were affected definitely by alcoholism. é on the part of the parents. In 1920 it was necessary for us to serve only about’ 200 “children “in permanent) guardianship, ani! while this ‘decrease was by no means due entirely to the absence of alcoholism, practically not case came to us by intemperance Suring 1920.” Investigates Charge The Rev, Mr, Randall said it fre- quently is reported that prohibition has led to an increase of drug addicts. “After a thorough investigation it was found by Chicago journalists that with one exception, the officials in charge of bureaus which take care of crime and charity are unanimous in their opinion that prohibition has not in- creased the use of drugs, and that in fact drug addiction is waning,” the statement continued. Joel D. Hunter, general superintend- ent of the United Charities of Chicago, was quoted as saying. “Our cases of drug addiction are so rare that we have never kept a record of them. In the year 1918-1919, of the 8,842 cases which were actually investigated by us, 412 of them were directly caused by intemperance cases.” The statement said. that arrests for drunkenness increased in the state of Massachusetts from 93,965 -in 1911. to 129,455 in 1917, declining! to 37,160 in 1920. ny A deaconess who was declared to be in close touch with the conditions in the public institutiqns. of Chicago re- plied.to the Rev. Mr, Randall’s Ict- ter of inquiry as follows: “Regarding the &fecti of prohibition, as we see it in the institutions we visit, there was a marked change in the persons and hospitals.. There were not,the. acci- dentg and deaths occasioned by drunk- en brawlings, there was a reduction in the number of illegitimate births, and .the Bridewell had fewer in- * mates.” “The (New York Times reports the conclusion | of thirty-seven | leading American insurance companies that the year 1921 was the healthiest year in the history of both the United States and Canada,” said the state- ment. “The figures for the first ten months indicate a lowering of the death rate among policvholders from 9.8,in 1920 to 8.24 in 1921. “Reports from nine of the largest cities of Illinois, outside of Chicago, show that crime materially decreased after the enactment of the Eighteenth Amendment.” * >> Quick Relief.
