Murders in Cincinnati
Almost Trebled in Sec
ond Year of Dry Era
Cincinnati.—Has prohibition accom
plished its purpose of decreasing crime
and intoxication in the United States?
The answer of veteran police officers,
speaking from personal observation
and backed up by Cincinnati’s official >
police department aod municipal court;
records, is strongly negative.
Intoxication and crime is on the up
ward trend, police declare.
A comparison of Cincinnati’s official
records for 1921, up to January 1, 1922,
with those of the year 1920, the first
year of prohibition, shows startling in
creases.
Murders have almost trebled in num
ber over last year, the number of rob- ]
beries has almost doubled and almost
twice as many “safe-keepers.” mostly j
persons intoxicated, have been cared
for by police this year than in 1920. !
Number of arrests of intoxicated auto- |
mobile drivers increased 65 per cent, i
and the number of reckless drivers and
other traffic law and ordinance violat-'
ers* exceeds by far that of last year.
Indian Tepee Sacred,
Booze Hunters Tolu
Washington.—Indian tepees will be
closed hereafter as hunting grounds,
for Government liquor scouts unless'
armed with search warrants, according
to instructions sent all Federal prohi
bition directors Thursday night1 by
Commissioner Haynes.
Haynes quoted the section of the act
supplemental to the national prohibi
tion act which makes thej'search of
private dwellings without a warrant a
misdemeanor and called attention to a
recent ruling by Charles H. Burke,
commissioner of Indian affairs, holding 1
that this provision of the law applies
to operations in Indian country as well
as outside of Indian country.

Washington.—Have you $51 in your
pocket? You should have, for it is the
par capita distribution of the money in
the United States at the beginning of
the new year.
If you have more than $51 in actual
cash, you have more than your share
of the money in circulation.
On the other hand, your share of
Uncle Sam’s public debt is about $217.
But don’t worry; he’s not going to pay
it all in the next year.
