Facts and figures together with “an even dozen unquestioned points in proof that the eighteenth amend- ment s being enforced” have been made public by Prohibition Com- missioner Haynes in & formal state- ment on the eve of the second anni- versary of the national prohibition act, which became effective Janusry 16, 1920. Cites Twelve Polnin. The twelve points cited as “so out- standing that no attempt can be made in denial” follow: “Disappearance of the open saloon. “Abatement of open drinking in public dining rooms. “Passing of the _treating evil, which was recognized as the great- est contributing_agency In the de- velopment of a liquor appetite. “Closing of whisky cure and stmilar institutions. “Increased savings accounts. “Record-breaking Christmas busi- ness. “Decreased drunkenness. “Prohibitive prices of ‘bonded’ liquor for beverage use. “Dangerous character of illicit whisky. urreptitiousness of present-day drinking. “Wail of howling minority who would go to the length of under- mining the Constitution in order to nullify an amendment which their action demonstrates Is in actual effert “Changed attitude of former hostile statesmen, political leaders and the press.” Deplores “Wet” Officials. Mr. Haynes declared that the prohi- bition ammendment was being en- forced to an even greater extent than had been anticipated and predictions of opponents had not been borne out by actualities. 4 “The chief cause of non-enforce- ment,” Mr. Haynes said, “was the appointment o1 wet officials and smus gling. This is being corrected by th appointment of officials who ar in sympathy. with the law and by serving notice on our neighboring countries that their flags are being used to protect smygglers.” He declared that prohibition en- forcement would henceforth be a much easier undertaking for various reasons, including the attitude of the public, curtailing of source of supply. closer co-operation of all enforce- ment agencies and the ‘poisonous death dealing character of practically all fllicit liquor now on the market. Arrests for drunkness, Mr. Haynes declared, have decreased 60 per cent liquor withdrawls have been reduced 6u per cent, while iast year's import tion of liquor was one-half of 1 pe cent of total consumption of liguor ir America the year before prohibition. Heavy Seizures Made. Seizures of liquor were estimated by Mr. Haynes at 950,000 gallons of distilled spirits and wine, while the estimated value of property seized during the past year was $12,307,000 10us pr Th: @ Verts consisted of 600 automobiles, 40 boats, 26 wagons and carriages, 45 horses and mules, 1 airplene, § motor- cycles, $7.500 in cash, 10 tracts oi land .and 7 stocks of merchandise. Under court proceedings Mr. Hayne said there were 30,000 federal indict ments, 17,000 pleas of guilty, 21,00 convictions @nd 950 acquittals. Ap proximately $3,000,000 was collected by the prohibition bureau, he added while the total of assessments was estimated at $57,500.000. Details Expenses. Expenses were placed at approxi- mately $6,274,523, listed as follows rent, $128,847; telephone, $17,400:°sup plies and equipment, $7,253; evidenct and miscellaneous, $163,458; seizure and sale, $51,464; salaries, $3,501,210; travel, $1,396,444; office expenses $980,429. Upwards of 300 brewers have been investigated and charged with viola tion, Mr. Haynes declared, while some public officials have been indicted and some have gone to jail. “In fifty-nine cities, with a popula- tion of 30,000 or over,” he said, “and "combined population of 20,000,000, ir cluding New York, Chicago and Phila delphia, official and estimated figures show a decrease In arrests for drunkenness from 336,842 in 1917 to 107,768, notwithstanding bad booze. temporary individual hard drinking and a zeal to ‘jug’ all Intoxicated people,” Mr. Haynes estimated that 17,600,000 drinkers have quit indulg ing in liquor. Declares Drinkers Decreased. ., “From various sources it is estl- mated,” he said, “there were 20,000,- 000 drinkers in the United States be- fore the country went dry. Of this num- ber there are 1,600,000 who drink oc- casionally new, and another 1,000,000 of old drinkers who inbibe whenever they can get it. If there were 20,- 000,000 drinkers when liquor was ac- cessible, and it is doubtful; and if there are 2,600,000 drinkers now, more doubtful, the 17,600,000 former drink- ers have quit—a wonderful record. Only 15 per cent of former drinkers are drinking now and these are drinking, but & per cent the quantity of liquor that was formerly consumed while the entire drink bill of the na. tion had decreased $2,000,000,000 a year.

FIHTSEXTRADIION OFBULLOCKTOU.S. Member of Canadian Parlia- ment Asks Fair Trial for Colored Man. By the Associated Press. TORONTO, January Mayor T.

Bullock 15 in custody at Hamilton, awalting the outcome of the pro- ceedings. - The police report the negro is panic stricken at the pros- pect of returning to the North Caro- lina police, saying his brother was Iynched and that he will suffer the same fate if taken back.

C. PASTOR. Bullock Declares He Is Afraid He Will Be Lynched. Matthew Bullock is the son of Rev. William Bullock, a_preacher of the Christian Disciple Church here. “I do not mind going to jail in Canada, but for God's sake, gentle- men, do not send me back to the United States. I am not afraid of a fair trial, but I know 1 will share the usual fate of men of my race and will be lynched by a mob,” Bullock is said to have told the Canadian police. According to information received here Bullock’s brother was lynched by a mob. He does not admit he shot any white people and said, “I only used the revolver to avenge my brother. T cut down the bodies of twenty-five negroes who were lynched.” According to a dispatch received interpational interest attaches to the case, and it was intimated at Ham- iiton that powerful colored or- ganizations in New York city will oppose the extradition of Bullock. Anti-lynching advocates in New York and this city, it is stated, have in- formed the Hamilton authorities that they will spare no expense in seeing ! that Bullock gets the fullest measure | 2 satica i We’ve Helped —success culminate the efforts of many inventors, machine experi- mentors, etc., by our co-operation in doing their Special Machine Work All necessary mechanical equip- ment—expert hands and interested supervision. g Punch Press Work—Die Making.
