Over The Past Year
RISE OF 250 WEEKLY OVER 1934
ATTRIBUTED TO LIQUOR
VIOLATIONS
(By The Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21, —Com
mitments to prisons, many the result
of liquor-law violations, are aver
aging 250 weekly above the cor
responding period of last year and
the federal prison population at the
end of May was 15,957, Attorney
General Cummings stated.
This increase was to a large ex
tent attributable to liquor-law viola
tions despite the repeal of prohibi
tion, officials estimated.
Department of justice figures,
showed that in the fiscal year 1929
30, 4973 persons were sent to feder
al institutions for violations of the
liquor law, as compared with 4393
; for other offenders during the same
period.
In the 1930-31 period liquor com
mitments numbered 4961, as compar
ed with 5817 for other offenses. In
1932-33 the liquor offenses were
3337 as against 5438 for general
crimes, and in the 1934-35 estimat
:
ed period, there were 4314 liquor ar
rests as against 6342 for general of
fenses.
many. Wc have churches in most of
the largest cities of America, includ
ing New York, San Francisco, Chic
ago and Pittsburgh, and have gained
largely in membership because of
the many Russian refugees coming
to America since the Soviets came
into power. The church in Alaska
and the states is prosperous
‘ Since coming to America I have
become an American citizen, a-nd I
am proud to be such. I am very hap
py in my work, and glad to meet
all members of our church and oth
er friends in my extensive travels or
at Sitka.”
The Greek Catholic Cathedral at
Sitka is one of the most famous in ;
America. The noted Ikona, a feature
among other sacred paintings there,
was painted by the fmaous Russian
artist Borovikovsky. J. Pierpont Mor
gan once offered $25,000 for it but
was informed it was not for sale
at any price. The value is there
fore rated above that figure.

has visited Juneau, Cordova, Chan

Kidnaping Blamed on Paroles
Cummings, to whom President
Roosevelt sent a telegram from
Hyde Park recently in connection
with the Weyerhaueser kidnaping
as to possible abuses of the parole
system, asserted that there was no
break down in the system as far as
the government was concerned.
An investigation of the kidnap
ing showed that the kidnapers had
been paroled under state systems.
Some officials have expressed the
belief that the blame for the crime
can be laid partly at the door of
the state parole systems.
While Cummings would not com
ment officially on this phase, and
speaking generally, he said:
"There has been too much poli
tical pressure and favoritism in the
granting of paroles under the state
laws.”
The increase in commitments
made the establishment of new
federal jails essential, Cummings
said. This can be accomplished with
out legislation. But if new peni
tentiaries are established, appro
priations for the purpose will have
to be asked from Congress.
He saw a necessity for such ad
ditions to the federal penal system,
because of overcrowding.
"This presents a serious prob
lem,” Cummings said. The facili
ties of the federal prisons already
are overtaxed. At the present rate
within the next few months they
will be overtaxed decidedly.
