There were 23,583 cases on Mie docket at the end of February and only 21,548 on April 1. “Purther, we haye established a definite trend in these figures, show- ing that the average of fines is stead- ily decreasing, while the average of fail sentences has been steadily in- creasing in the nine months since prohibition enforcement was trans- ferred trom the treasury to the Jus- tice department.” ‘Meantime, Woodcock pushed plans for the assimilation into the fegeral dry force of the remainder of 500 new agents authorized by the Jast con- gress.

In figures made public by the pro- hibition bureau Tuesday it was shown that agents had seized 192,195 gallons of beer during March, together with 147,508 gallons of illicit liquor. Dur- ing the same period 1,752 stills and distilleries fell into the federal hands, while 2,385 beer fermenters suffered a similar fate. Since Woodcock took office last July, the figures showed 25,913 fines aggregating’ $3,682,099 have been as- sessed against prohibition viotators, while’ 19,464 have received: jail sen- tences totaling 11,730 years.
