But insurance companies last year paid out 12 times as much for bur- glary lowses and 4% times as much for embezzlement lonves as 10 years ago. Big, outstanding crimes which are traceable to booze parties include the Hamon murder in Oklahoma, Elwell murder in New York, Ken- nedy murder in Las Angeles, Mo Gannon affair in Cleveland, Ar- buckle-Rappe tragedy In’ fan Fran- cisco and the Al Stein tragedy in Los Angeles. Bootlegging and rumrunning ts a big business. But enforcement agents spend most of the time ar- resting small retailers or raiding small stills. Traffic from the Bahama Islands is so profitable that last year more than 100 vessels were transferred to British registry, Eleven prohibition agents have been killed since July, 1920. The ac tual death toll among bootleggers and rum-runners and police is many times that. You can buy any/ kind of booze you want—even imported cham pagne, at $130 to $150 a case, You can have it delivered to your home or office, In some cities patrol wagons have been used to deliver booze.
