I) FIRST YEAR

OF PROHIBITION

i - . -

tistics for Indiana Show

8.8 Percent Decrease in

Number of Prisoners.

i Wayne county has prospered during

the first year of prohibition in Indiana

which ends Wednesday evening, April

2, as have all other counties In the state, according to statistics compiled

in Indianapolis. -

In spite of the fact that an Ohio county Beat in which whisky Is sold. Is hut sixteen miles from Richmond, the propinquity of wet territory did

not attract a volume Of trade that re

ected upon business conditions in this

city.

Merchants here say that collections are much better than at any time dur

ing the. regime of John Barleycorn;

deposits in the savings banks and financial Institutions exceed those of

any year In the history of the country;

dry goods merchants report the heaviest business they have done for

years, and grocers and butchers say

they are favored by a marked increase in the number of cash customers and

the payment of accounts long in arrears. In addition to this condition of affairs as a result of prohibition, the number of persons cared for in the county Infirmary and Jail, comparing March, 1918, and March, 1913. shows a marked decrease In favor ofthe latter month. For the entire state, Indiana's first year under prohibition shows a reduction of 38.8 per cent in the number of prisoners committed to Jails. In 1917- 18 the total was 34,526 and in 1918- 19, 21.127, with the returns for March estimated. Workhouse Is Closed The total commitments to the Jail and the workhouse In Marlon county In the twelve months erring March 31, 1918, was 6.025. while for the last year the total Is cfjfr 8.171. The decrease amounted, to 47.3 per cent. The Ma

rlon county -workhouBe was closed after two months of prohibition, there being only forty-seven commitments In April and May. the last two months in which that Institution was operated. Even with the workhouse closed the

Jail population fell from 4,142 in 1917

18, to 3,124 in 1918-19, a decrease of

. 1.018, or 24.5 per cent. Not Absolute Index

While the comparative Jail statistics of two years are not to be taken as an absolute index of the effect of he prohibition law, say observers, because other factors unquestionably entered

into the reductions, the legal ban on Intoxicants which became effective

after April 2, 1918, accounts for a very

Important part of the decrease.

Amos W. Butler, secretary of the

board of state charities, pointed out

that the departure of more than 100.

000 persons from the state on account

of war was probably a factor in bring

Ing reductions, and that a condition of

universal employment, likewise due

to the war, also played its part in reducing the number of arrests and the

resultant Jail commitments, in nor

mal conditions of employment there is some idleness and this leads to trouble or misdemeanors which find their way

Into the courts and later are recorded

on Jail registers. . Arrests Decline Suddenly

It is interesting to note the sudden decline in arrests in April, 1918,' the

first month of prohibition. In March, 1918, the records show that there were 2,823 persons committed to

county jails, but in April, 1918, the

number dropped to 1,570, a decrease

of 1.253. The next month. May. 1918.

showed the smallest number of com

mitments in any month during the two years in question. In that month there were 1,558 Jail admissions. Each month thereafter there was a larger number of arrests than in May and during January of this year the total

reached 2,081. The total commit

ments in any one month of the last

year did not, however, reach as high

a figure as the lowest month or the

previous "wet year, which was Dec

ember, 1917, when 2,108 persons were

taken Into Jails.
