ANDREWS LIKE 'MAN ON RAFT, ALONEAT SEA' Determined Battle to Make Law Work Hampered at Every Turn.

This is the first of a series of how Lincoln C. Andrews tried to make prohibition a fact and of his experiences during his two years as dry enforcement chief. The second will appear Thursday. BY RAY T. TUCKER In one of his many moments of despair over the inertia and active opposition he met in his efforts to make prohibition a reality, Brig. Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews, whose resignation as dry chief takes effect Aug. 1, uttered a heartfelt sigh.

-"I feel like a sailor alone on a raft, fighting all the elements at once with nobody to help me,” he said. Except that he did not add that the indifference an d hostility came from the very elements which should have supported him to the utmost—the administration, which drafted him for the job, and the

professional drys, the Anti-Saloon League of America—General Andrews summed up in that remark the story of his two years’ attempt to make America dry. Given Little Backing For all its fine professions the administration did not lend wholehearted support to Andrews. It approved some of his innovations. It provided him with more men, more money and sharper weapons. But it withheld unqualified indorsement and active assistance. The administration, in short, permitted prohibition to stay in politics. And though he took office April 2, 1925, with the avowed intention of ‘‘taking prohibition out Doctor Sends New Truss on Trial No Money Down Required; No Cash Deposit; No C. O. D.

of politics,” General Andrews soon found it was impossible. Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel of the Anti-Salon League, and the organized dry’s spokesman in Washington, was another who enlightened Andrews. Andrews aroused) Wheeler’s antagonism almost from the beginning by his assertion that if he could not enforce the dry laws they could not be enforced. Wheeler Says “No” Not at all, retorted Wheeler. The great experiment, he said, would go on under other men and would not be determined by the success or failure of one man’s methods. Wheeler, as recent events show, was right. Largely because of his two-year war on Andrews the latter was forced out of office. The Leaguers were acquiescent to the Andrews’ appointment for a few months, as a matter of diplomacy. Andrews was too brusque and busi-ness-like to please the professional and evangelical drys. Instead of insisting upon the holiness of the prohibition cause, he tried to enforce the dry law—a grievous error, apparently. Moreover, Andrew's tried to get rid of Roy Haynes, the League’s contribution to Harding’s administration. Wheeler Horrified Wheeler held up his hands in horror and scurried to the White House. Senator Willis of Ohio served notice on Andrews that Haynes must be retained. So did other leaders. Haynes’ inefficiency was admitted, but his defenders impressed on Andrews that he was a sign and a symbol to the church people. So Haynes was kept. And thus the Anti-Salon League won its victory over Andrews. Politico was in the saddle, spid riding hard—and only a month after Andrews took office W’ith the beautiful hope of driving the politicians from the temple—or stable. Next: Andrews gets too warlike In his war on rum row. DEMAND ELEVATION Postponement Plea to Bring Meeting.

A mysterious letter, threatening suicide, found Tuesday night' by Patrolman Hocioga on the sidewalk at East and Washington Sts., signed “S.C.H.”, may have been written by a former city street cleaner, so E. R. Winninger, 514 S. Alabama St., told police today. The letter, addressed to Police Chief Claude Johnson, said the writer’s body would be found in White river because a job, promised by the Duvall administration, never materialized “although I voted the Republican ticket.” Disappointment in love was given in the note as a contributing cause. The man wrote a similar letter last year, Winninger said. Found Booze, Says Negro "It was an unlucky find,” said Sam Thompson, Negro, 808 Colton St., today at city prison, where he is held on a blind tiger charge.
