juries. In 1925 out of 261 arrests
there were 232 convictions, eight ac
quittals, three were dismissed and 18
bound over.
Drops in Fines
There was a material drop in the j
sum assessed in fines during the year j
while prison sentences remained vir- j
tually unchanged. Last year fines i
aggregating $23,6$9 were imposed by |
various courts as compared to $37,- j
416 for the year before, a decrease j
of $13,727. Prison sentences aggre- ;
gating 26 years and 11 days were !
imposed as against 26 years two
months and 18 days the previous 12
months. The average prison sen
tence was, Mr. Birgfeld pointed out, j
therefore, longer than for the pre
I
ceding year. The Prohibition agents j
seized 30 stills, last year, 756 gal-:
Ions and three quarts of spiritous |
liquors (bonded and moonshine whis
key), 826 gallons and three pints of,
malt liquors, 162 gallons and one
quart of wine, 4,300 gallons of mash,
as compared to 41 stills, 9621* gal
lons of spirituous liquors, 2,186 gal
lons and five pints of malt liquors.
3,448 gallons of mash.
Seize Boats
Three boats were seized as a re
sult of prohibition activities last
year, valued at $9,050, and one auto
mobile valued at $900. The year
previous no boats were seized and
one small car worth $200.
From all over the Territory, Mr.
Birgfeld said, reports show that con
ditions are much better. This, too.
despite the fact that the Alaskan
unit was cut down during the year
to less than one-half its size in 192,5.
At the end o.f the past year there
were only three agents on the force !
as compared to seven for the preced- j
ing fiscal year. And during last '
year no outside agents or under cov
er men were called in to aid local
agents.
Supporting his viewpoint of im
provement in the situation, Mr. Birg
feld said it is now almost impossible
to buy drinks over bars in any com
munity.
Go After Sources
“We have been severely handi
capped for several months by a lack ;
of funds which made it impossible I
to function as efficiently as was de- j
sired,” Mr. Birgfeld said. “It pre- j
vented us from having the right kind
of boats necessary to handle the
rum running operations between Al
aska and British Columbia and in
other ways handicapped our field
work. Consequently we have not
been able to press as vigorously as
we would have liked to do the pol
icy of the Prohibition unit to dry up
the sources of illegal liquor supply.
‘‘This is our main objective and
we expect to pursue it strenuously
this year. Congressional appropria
tions have been more generous for
the current fiscal year and our funds
for operations should be more ade
quate than during the past year.
With sufficient money and backed
by a wholesome public sentiment we
are confident we will go a long way ;
toward breaking the backbone of!
rum smuggling this year,” he said.
