Jail sentences agtiroRHfinff more

Giving a final accounting of his
stewardship over the prohibition
bureau before It was divided by
congress into three parts. Dr. Do

trial alcohol, reported to Secre
tary Melton a total of 68.173 ar-
sentences out of 54.085 convictions
up to last July.
Dr. iDoran made his annual re
port the vehicle- for denying that
considerable corruption had exist

n rkers. He euid 567 cases had
been Investigated by a special in
spection division and all but one
case closed.
"In a very large proportion of
the cases, he (inserted?, "the
charges were either absolutely dis

found very frequently to bo vic

mas dollar promises Ui go further
thiii season than It luis fur 13 or
14 years,
I n most places dad's neck t ie.
Johnny n shirts, Mary's hose and
tho family dinner will be cheaper.
Government statistics indicate
that tho average wholesale price
for all commodities in the low
est since the spring of lUlti.
Six months ago tho average ro
tail price for these commodities
was the lowest since December,
1!H7. . figures on retail prices wilt
not bo computed again until Feb
ruary, but statist iciuns of the la
bor department point out that the
trend has been downward since
lust summer.
Using 100 as the index number
for prices prevailing in 1526. the
wholesale price of all commodities
dropped to 82. ti In October this,
year.
Figured another way. the 19-6
dollar had a purchasing power of
$1.21 a few weeks ago. In Octo
ber, 1929, tho rtime dollar would
buy only $1.03 worth of goods.
Food, men and women's cloth
ing, household furnishings, fuel
and lighting ujist less. Surveys
made by business bureaus in some
of the larger cities show a drop
of as much as 20 per cent in re
tail prices since 1929.
The reduction in dresses Is re
ported us ranging from 10 to 30
per cent, of fur coats from 50 to
40 per cent, of shoes from 8 to
23 per cent and of hosiery from
1G to 30 per cent.
Men's eults and overcoats were
said to have dropped in price
from 9 to 20 per cent.
Poultry, beef, pork, lamb, pota
toes, fresh fruits, coffee, sugar,
butter und eggs rango from 3 to
33 per cent cheaper.
Government statisticians say that
while retail prices of commodi
ties cannot be forecast accurately,
the prospect Is that living costs
will remain low throughout tho
winter.

Is 'being done at the request of
the relatives of one of the mluslng
men. '
Chinese servant, was in jail today j
for the slaying of Mrs. Kosetta j
Itaker, (i0. wealthy widow, yester-j
day. I
A gashed finger, a button and
a shoe heel marked the servant as
the killer, police- said, as they hunt
ed for a motive.
Links In tho servant's story
which at first led polico to ques
tion youthful actor friends of tho
stain woman, failed to jibe, offic
ers said.
I a v Koo k was taken to h ea d -
quart era with the actors for ques
tioning. 1 lo kept his rinht hand
in his pocket. Thero in lay his
undoing.
Injury Is Clue.
iPolico drew his linnd from his
pocket and found a fresh gash.
They said a piece of skin which
Mrs. Itaker may havo scratched
from her assailant, fitted tho Chi
nese's wound.
A button and shoo heel, presum
ably lost by the Mrangler In tho
death fight with tho woman, be
longed to Low Fook, officers said.
He denied responsibility.
A report of the manager of Mrs.
Maker's apartment that valuable
rings were missing led polico to
Investigate a theory of robbery.
They wero also considering possi

his recent discharge, or demented
by narcotics which he admitted
using, had killed tho woman he
