BlG BUSINESS DOWN T0 THE BOOTLEGGER Federal Cases on the Increase, | Daugherty Says Washington, Dee. 4.—Litigation over violations of federal laws is on the increase in the V'nited States, ac- cording to the annual report of At- torney General Daugherty made to- day to congress. In a volume replete with statistics of the government's work in law en-| forcements, against eriminals ranging from big business to hootleggers, the attorney general and his staff de- tajled increases in prosecutions, civil as w=2ll as criminal, running the gamut of the federal statutes. In- ereases in convictions also were recit- ed in the story of the vast work of the Department of Justice to secure observance of the law, Prohibition cases formed a part of the department's work, there were large increases also in prosecating vielations of white slave, {ax, public land, postal, banking and cther federal regulations. Activity also was reported in preasing the war frauds cases. Under the national prohibition act alone, Mrs. Mabel Walker Wilde- brandt, large reported 49,021 criminal and 4,109 civil cases were begun during the last figcal year—an Increase of 15,889 over the previous vear. Kederal courts, she sald, were unable to keep abreast of the number of cases brought, al though 42,370 eriminal and 4,109 civil cases were disposed of durl the | vear, with 23,052 criminal and 4,064 civil cases left pending. “Rapldity of disposition failed quite to keep pace with the filing” said Mrs. Wildebrandt, “but with the help of ¢ judges provided in different listricts the ested conditions of k% s slowly being remedied.” Rum smuggling, Mrs. Willebrandt's reports added, is “the most gigantic riminal problem the [Unitad States ever faced on the high seas.” She said the Coast Guard was not adequate| with present equipment to patrol the | long Atlantic and Pacific coasts effect. nally, and reiterated statistics of ll. quor transactions in the Bahama Is- lands indicating extensive smuggling into this country. “Prohibition” Sentences.
