CRIMES DECREASE A FOURTH IN THE FIRST DRY WEEK.

Crimes in Chicago decreased per cent in the first seven days of prohibition, according to figures given out Sunday iby First Deputy Chief of Police Alcock. T He said he doubted the decrease was attributable solely to the fact' that Chicago was dry; he thought the precautions of the department against radical demonstrations July 4, 5 and 6, when the entire department remained on duty, had markedly influenced the criminal element. On July 4 only one crime was reported—a record—but the following day there was a slight increase. Adi phases of crime reflected the dry wave decrease except murders, which remained stationary at 5; assaults, which increased from 8 to 16, and manslaughter. One such case has occurred under prohibition; there bad been none the week before. —The most remarkable .proportionate falling off was in the number of nonsupport complaints, which dropped from twelve to one.

NINETY MILLION PENNIES TURNED OUT EACH MONTH.

Ninety million pennies are being turned "out of the United States mints every month to meet the demand for the "odd cent” sales caused by the war taxes. This average of 3,000.000 coppers daily requires between 400 and 500 people in the various mints just to count the pennies and put them in 'packages for distribution. Practic- ' ally all of the work of the mints is now being diverted to making pennies. At the present rate, t|ie output, bringing it down to fine points, is about thirty-five bright, new pennies every time the clock ticks. Plans iare to continue this large producition for several weeks. ■

THE EVENING REPUBLICAN. RENSSELAER, INDIANA,

SALt OF 2% PER CENT BEER MEETS DEFEAT. Washington', July 14>—Prohibition forces took full control in the house today, refused a permit to vote on a straight-out motion to repeal the wartime act, defeated overwhelmingly an amendment providing for the sale of 2% per cent beer, and stood solidly against all attacks bn the general ••enforcement measure. Just as fast ais one “liberal” amendment was offered by opponents of, prohibition, it os voted down without ceremony, always by a triple vote for the minority, fighting every inch of the ground, demanded a division after the ayes and nays were called, and then asked for tellers. Before the house got through with the first section of the first part or* the three-pant bill, there was more disorder on the floor than at any time this session. ■ ■ The disturbance arose first during an Attempt by Representative Blanton, democrat, Texas, to speak a second time against an amendment which would have given a jury the right to define jntoxicants, and was increased during an address by Representatives Gallivan, democrat, of Massachusetts, who declared members voting dry should print in the congressional record exactly how much liquor they had stored in their homes and offices. The real battle of the day, however, was over the amendment to define a non-intoxicant as a bev-. erage containing two and threefourths per cent alcohol, instead of one-half of one per cent, as written in the bill. Representative Dyer, republican, Missouri, author of the amendment, did not ask for any definition in the constitutional prohibition amendment, but simply in the wartime law. In pleading for its adoption, Mr. Dyer declared it was what President Wilson had recommended to congress, and would permit, during the remaining period of wartime prohibition, the sale of light wines and beers, and might delay issuance of a proclamation by the president which would restore the sale of “hard” liquors. There was a round of speech making on this motion, an hour of it, with the drys assailing it as an entering wedge, and the wets asserting that it merely would permit the very thing the president, as commander in chief of the army, had said was best for the country for the next six months. After two and three-quarters per cent beer had been bowled over by a record vote of 151 to 90—and this was about the relative division on all amendments —the prohibitionists went after another amendment by Representative Igoe, democrat, of Missouri, which would have stricken out all definition of intoxictnas, killing the proposal, 128 to 83. There was the utmost confusion at times, despite vigorous whacks with a gavel, and some of the prohibition leaders applauded every move in their favor in the galleries,, filled largely with women, and offi-f cers of anti-liquor organizations, broke into applause when the house reared its disapproval of tow and three-quarters per cent 'beer.

DEMOTTE BOY WITH THE ARMY OF OCCUPATION.

The following letter has been received by Dr. P. T. Leighly, DeMotte physician, from his son, Corporal Hollis Leighly; Rumelangeburg, Germany, June 19, 1919. Just now the weather makes me think it July or August. Dry also, at least so far as rain /is concerned •for the fields are showing a bit yellow under the drought. On the 17th of June we registered just a half year of our occupation in our present location. On the whole it has been the most pleasant part of our army life,' for after putting up the division on a basis for a prolonged stay, most of which work was done by the engineer regiment. At the present time we are the only division occupying the Grand Duchy and have been very well treated by the inhabitants, tin our town we have welcome in practically every home and there are some very fine people here, and as to hospitality, nothing could beat it. There are two or three families with which I am very well acquainted and they have made every effort to make a few of my particular crowd welcome. There are six of us who always did sort of hang together ever since the first days and we have managed to have some mighty fine times. We always split our joys and sorrows as best we may and wish we had Birgen and Smith along, but we rest them back in the’ Argonne and can only think of them as two who were in spirit with us and let the solution of the riddle of life give them back to us. We are watching the peace conference rather closely because we are betting on ’em. Not francs, but our time and prospects for the future, and, believe me, if there is an “encore” there will ’be no more of the long lines of prisoners who used to filter back from the front looking very happy that it was over for them. \ , Today the battalion marched over into Lorraine, about five kilometres, and stacked arms in a Httle valley. We fell out with the instructions to be there for dinner. The crowd took to the hills, woods and the surrounding villages. I have forgotten so much French since coming here that that very useful lingo’s most dofficult for me now on account of speaking German every day. The Luxemburg dialect is a mixture of the two, many vowels as in English, and I am also able to understand it. Upon the Rhine there are some very fine gardens and a garden is really a part of the house, for it is there where the family spends the long summer evenings, which compare in length with those at Winnipeg. It is now almost 9 o clock and I am writing inside my tent without a light. We can easily play a seven-inning ball game after supper or wailk to Esch to a boxing match. , Some time ago, perhaps six weeks, I was notified in a letter from G. H., signed by Gen. P., that I had been appointed to a commission in reserve. That is, I may be called to active duty as an officer, brnt for the present I retain my present status or am discharged. I have ordered the commission sent home if granted, but, as there have been some thousands put out, there is where the whole matter will P£Od-

ably end.

i Cincinnati, 0., July 12.—Jack Dempsey, conqueror of Willard, is growing mighty tired of hearing the falsehood about him being a slacker. Jack said so Friday when he advised a gathering of newspaper men to nail the lie in the papers and that he would nail the liar who repeaftp the falsehood“I tried to enlist in the navy, but was rejected because my left ear drum had been broken in a fight,” said Dem,psey. “My right ear also is defective. I was placed in class four by the draft board on this account, and since the country was in need of shipyard workers I took up that end of it. Later I was placed in class 2D, but While I was ready to answer a call, the government did not requisition my services. “In the meantime I got into thirty or forty bouts on this side, fighting all over the country raising money for the Red Cross, and these fights netted the Red Cross more than $200,000. “Two of my brothers were in the service and I /was the only support of our family, Which included an invalid brother. “Barring the doughboy, I can’t figure where any one who was in my circumstances at the time gave so freely of his services as did I and yet there is talk that I was a slacker.” •There is nearly as much “ire” as “land” in Ireland these days.— Salt Lake Citizen.
