pale moonlight, two men, stripped

it was. No sparring, no shadow

It was a question of survival of tbe

It wasn't. The defeated cattleman

CHIEF IS OUSTED
Lincoln Andrews Succes
sor To Haines; New Era
In Enforcement On
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. (United
News) The demotion of Roy A.
Haines, federal prohibition commis
sioner, which has finally been of
ficially announced, anngs to ant end
an era of dlrided authority In en-
forcement ot dry law, which- was
marked by - considerable confusion,
much ot it under the surface.- and
esutad a great, deal of eritlciam.
I . Hereafter, there will be one boss,
in the person of Lincoln Andrews,
who will conduct a military regime.
Haines' tenure of office was char-
acterlzed by friction ' with treasury
officials, especially with Commission
er of Internal Revenue Blair, who
was his superior. Authority was di
vided. Under the new administra
tion Andrews, as an assistant secre
tary ot the treasury, will have
free hand.
To Face Cold Facta
The passing of Haines, as a real
figure In prohibition enforcement,
announced in an order from the
troasury Mopitsy, also ushers In an
era of facing the facts. There will
probably be no such optimistic and
fulsome statements from Andrews
were Issued regularly from
Haines' office in the form of "press
hand-outs" which came to be dis
regarded by cynical newspapers.
Haines was earnest. He probably
had the most difficult Job In the
whole government service; his was
a thankless task, just as will be that
ot Andrews. He was subjected to
continual criticism and stood it well.
