Mr. KENNARD. I have a separate statement on that.

Mr. TINKHAM. Does that sheet give the number of cases at the end of each year not disposed of?

Mr. KENNARD. Yes, sir; this also gives the number pending at the close of each year. It shows that at the close of 1912, for instance, there were 102,000 cases pending-leaving out the odd figureswhile at the close of 1923 there were 179,000 cases pending.

(The table referred to is as follows:)

Increase 1923 over 1922 excluding $2,000,000 strike expense.

Mr. KENNARD. In another statement-proceeding from the general to the particular-we have for the last three fiscal years, 1921, 1922. and 1923, divided the total business into five general classes, namely United States civil business, criminal business, admiralty, private litigation, and bankruptcy; showing the relative increase in each of these classes, both as to actions commenced, terminated and pending. That is a slight step toward detail.

This statement for 1921, 1922, and 1923 shows that the increase in 1923 over 1921 in actions commenced was 30 per cent plus; in actions terminated, 53 per cent plus; and in actions pending, approximately 26 per cent. Decreases, where they did exist in minor items, are shown in italic.

(The table referred to is as follows:)

Mr. KENNARD. Proceeding still further into a little more detail, we have made a separate statement concerning the national prohibition act, because of the enormous magnitude of the work. There is covered by this third statement all cases commenced since the enactment of the law up to the close of June 30, 1923. It specifies, by years, the number of cases dismissed, the number of acquittals and convictions, etc., also civil business as distinguished from criminal.

Briefly, the statement shows that the total number of civil cases commenced under the national prohibition act up to the close of June 30, 1923, was 8,775; the number terminated, 4,921, and the amount realized on judgments, $336,000 plus.

Mr. TINKHAM. Is that by years?

Mr. KENNARD. Yes, sir; by years. I am just giving the total now. It also shows that the number of criminal prosecutions commenced since the passage of the act up to June 30, 1920, was 120,410;

the number of criminal prosecutions terminated, 97,865, and the total collections in criminal actions over $9,470,000.

I have just mentioned the leading points of the statement. (The table referred to is as follows:)
