“MONDAY, MARCH 23, 1925 The Good Maxwell— THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ARRESTS ABOUT DOUBLED SINCE PROHIBITION Anti-Saloon League Admits Number Has Increased Nearly 50 Per Cent , @ BY LARRY BOARDMAN NEA Service Writer Washington, Mar. —The num- her of arrgets made by “police throughout the country has increas- ed nearly 50 percent since prohibi- tion. is not a statement by the It is an admission by‘ the Saloon League. The league made a survey of all the arrests made in 100 representa- tive cities, located in 31 states and ranging in population from 5000 to 5,000,000. The survey showed that during the three years preceding prohibi- tion—1917, 1918 and 1919—the num- ber of arrests made in these cities ag steadily decreasing. It showed that since prohibition the number of arrests has been rap- idly on the increase! In 1917 there were a few more than 1,050,000 arrests for all causes. In 1918 the number dropped to less than 1,000,000. In 1919 it dropped to slightly more than 900,000. But in 1920, the first dry year, the number of arrests increased to rearly 950,000. In 1921 it jumped to more than 1,100,000, In 1922 it soared to nearly 1,250,000. In 1923 it stood atmore than 1,400,000. And the figure for 1924, estimated at the same rate of increase, would be more than 1,600,000. In other words, the number of ar- rests since prohibition has increased from slightly more than 900,000 in 1919, the last wet year, to more than 1,600,000 in the year just passed—an increase of 700,000. Arrests fdr intoxication before and after prohibition show the same trend. The number dropped from about 325,000 in 1917 to approximately 176,000 in 1919. Then it increased to an estimated figure of nearly 400,000 in 1924. Asked to explain the figures, Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Saloon League, declared that the increased total number of arrests does not mean an increase in crime. He also expressed satisfaction over the number of arrests for intoxica- tion, stating that while there may have been a numerical increase the proportion in comparison to the to- tal number of arrests is smaller. “In the license period before pro- hibition,” he said, “arrests for drunkenness were 32.5 of all ar- rests. In the dry years they have only been 188 per cent. “Increase in the total number of arrests is due to automobile and traffic causes, sanitary regulations, enforced school laws and a host of municipal ordinances. These arrests show we are more carcful of the public welfare, not that we are more criminal.” Wet leaders, however, declare the figures only show that intoxication is rapidly increasing while crime in general is still more rapidly increas- ing. They admit that traffic and other ordinances may have somewhat in- creased the total number of arrests —but, not by 700,000. A. C.
