DRY LEAGUERS WIN BATTLE TO - ‘GET’ANDREWS t Resignation Is Halted, Then White House Agrees to Accept It. This is the last of eight articles telling of Lincoln C. Andrews’ two-year futile effort to enforce the prohibition laws. BY RAY T. TUCKER Brig. Gen. Lincoln C. Andrews' resignation as Federal prohibition chief in July, 1926, was received quietly enough by Secretary Mellon, and accepted. Being a business man first and a politician as an afterthought, Mellon immediately did not sense the unfavorable effect such abrupt action might have on the approaching congressional elections or other political events. But when he related the incident at the White House the same day, Mellon was made to see that such on untoward happening could not be permitted. General Andrews was summoned into Mellon’s office for a heart-to-heart talk. He was persuaded to stay on, and he withdrew his resignation, though it is understood the letter originally presented to Mellon was kept at the White House. Like a good soldier, General Andrews then denied that he had resigned, although at least two newspaper correspondents had read the letter. Begs in Vain for Help The incident serves to reveal General Andrews’ state of mind after one year in office, as well as the attitude assumed toward him and his work by the Administration. Not until It seemed his actions might have an unfavorable political effect did they command much attention from his superiors. Andrews continued his reorganizations and enforcement work during his last year, but it was concerned mostly with departmental affairs and regulations. Again, he begged Congress to enact the additional enforcement bills which failed of passage at the previous session, but again ne begged in vain. Congress, as well as the Administration, seemed to sense a change in public sentiment toward extreme methods of prohibition enforcement. A spirit of laissez-faire and tolerance had displayed itself in elections, press, pulpit and platform. Haynes Comes Back But the Anti-Saloon League never left its post. With the passage of the reorganization bill, its leaders demanded that Roy A. Haynes be made prohibition commissioner. Both General Andrews and Secretry Mellon opposed such step, but the leaguers presented their demand to the White House. The compromise measure designed to placate the league led to the downfall of Andrews. Haynes was made “acting commissioner.” As soon as he got back into high place, there was started a campaign to undermine Andrews. Haynes made clear that, if made permanent commissioner, he would consider himself superior to Andrews under the terms of the reorganization bill. Dissension immediately spread through the prohibition establishment. The situation became intolerable. Mellon was slow to act, but circumstances compelled him to intervene. League Gets Andrews Andrews was permitted to resign and was succeeded by Seymour W. LOwman, former Lieutenant Governor of New York. The post sought for Haynes was given to a twentyyear Government employe, Dr. James H. Doran. Though personalities and records of the two men warrant the belief that neither will measure up to Andrews, the Anti-Saloon League appears satisfied with the change. It succeeded in forcing out Andrews. Past experience indicates that the professional drys will be content with less enforcement and more glorification of prohibition. By the same token it appears that the Administration will welcome less fuss over prohibition, even if it means less enforcement. For a national election is only a year off!

Air Pilots Have Many Close Shaves in Performing Daily Work. [This is the seventh of ten articles telling of the heroic exploits and thrilling experiences of Lindbergh’s pals in the air mail service. Succeeding articles will appear daily.] BY RODNEY DUTCHER \ HA Service Writer WASHINGTON, June 16.—Pilot L. L. Bowen “knocked on the door of eternity” one day last August, to use the expression of Assistant Postmaster General Glover. Bowen’s experience was not isolated, and many more, where pilots had equally close shaves, may be cited, but the adventure is typical of what often happens to mail pilots. Flying east from Omaha, Bowen encountered storms near Valparaiso, Ind., and was flying under a 50-foot ceiling, so decided to land there. He found the field covered with water and was forced to turn back toward Omaha. Couldn’t Come down “The two electrical storms met,” says an official report, “and because of poor visibility he lost his way, but after flying several minutes he discovered the light at Gretna, which he circled several times, but could not find a suitable place to land. “However, hr recognize a road leading toward Lincoln, which he attempted to follow until he came to the Burlington tracks, which would lead him to Omaha. “While following the road he evidently went through a cut, as he scraped the left wing light on the ground just enough to break the lens and fill the streamlining with mud and weeds. Has Narrow Escape “Upon feeling the wing touch he pulled the ship up into the low clouds and again became lost, but after a short time located the Burlington tracks and came into Omaha, landing on our field at 2:10 a. m. “Bowen’s air speed was registering 130 miles an hour at the time the left wing touched the ground, a very narrow escape. Pilot J. D. Hill, flying from Cleveland toward New Brunswick, landed on a treetop last January. “The motor first cut over some coal mines near Aristes,” says Hill’s report. “Trying to reach the open country I turned north and cleared one ridge, only to find more timber and brush land. Tried both tanks, hand pump and gravity. The ship continued to lose gravity till I had to stick it in the trees. “I kicked the rudder to get squared off and pancaked the ship in the tree tops without turning it over. There was a little jar, but I have had air pumps that were worse.” * Tries Treetop Landing Pilot Hill is not the only one who has learned how to land in a tree top correctly. “While coming to land on the Omaha field at 1:45 a. m„” says a report to the Airmail Service here. “Pilot Biffle approached the field from the north over the three tall cottonwood trees near the north edge of the field. “As he was about to clear one of these, his ship settled unexpectedly and Biffle found himself staring the rapidly approaching tree directly in the face. “Buffle decided that his only chance was to hit the trees as squarely as possible, for there was not time for him to avoid it. “His aim could not have been improved upon, for he struck the trde squarely with the hub of his propeller. At the same time his motor got back on the job. He opened the throttle and forced the ship through the branches, across the trolley line and into the field. He taxied up with branches and limbs of all sizes sticking through the wings and radiator.” FORESTER PARLEY ENDS Banquet to Mark Conclave Wind-Up of Order in Gary.

SLAYER GETS NEW TRIAL Former .Lebanon Physician, 60, Killed Young Farmer. Bu United Press GOOCHLAND, Va., June 16.-Dr. George Reavis, 60-year-old physician, recently sentenced to serve ten years for killing Gilbert Lacy, popular young farmer, and given a penal term of ten years, lias won anew trial and a change of venue.

Bu United Press NEW YORK. June 16.—Walls of the Hans Sergle stamp store are papered with money. However, the proprietor has little fear that enterprising burglars will attempt to remove the interior decorations, because the money happens to be paper money from the German provinces which was issued after the war, and now is practically worthless. PRISONER SAVES JAILER Gets Keys, Frees Self, Calls Doctor for Qustodian. Ilii United Press lOLA, Kan., June 16.—Sidney Simon of Kansas City is an honest prisoner. When L. Daggett, county jailer, was stricken with ptomaine poisoning he tossed the keys of the jail to Simon. Simon released himself and called a doctor, but he ignored pleas of other prisoners to release them. Daggett’s life probably was saved.

JUDGE TO RUSH j HIS RULING ON MANAGER VOTE Four-Hour Argument Hits and Upholds Change in Government Form. Ruling on the injunction suit to prevent the city manager election Tuesday will be given within the next few days by Judge Linn D. Hay of Superior Court Two. Attorneys for James R. Collier, 415 E. Fiftieth St., and for the city manager group argued the case for four hours Wednesday. Judge Hay said he probably will not give a written opinion and will rule soon, because of the proximity of the election date. The ruling will be made on a demurrer to the complaint filed by city manager attoi’neys, in which calidity of the law was upheld. Sees Harm to Citizens Fred C. Gause declared a ruling against the election will harm Indianapolis citizens who have petitioned for it. He explained that under the city manager law this is the only time the election could be held. Gause asserted that since the law was comparatively new, "its possible infeasibility led many to believe it unconstitutional.” The election is not a delegation of legislative power to the people that can be considered violation of the State constitution as contended by Attorneys Samuel Ashby and Louis B. Ewbank. averred Gause. He pointed out that communities, ! towns and cities can change forms I of government by vote. Says “Kingdom” Created Ashby declared the “Legislature 1 might as well have created the king- ) dom of Indianapolis as make proI visions for the city manager form of government.” Clinton H. Givan. representing the manager group, declared validity of j the law had been upheld in numerous Supreme Court decisions throughout the country. Ewbank said personal liberty was taken from the people under the new law’, because officials could not be active politically. He also asserted unconstitutionality of the law, because the manager does not have to reside in the city. 500 TEACHERS ENROLL College Grants Leave to Six; Add One to Faculty.

WETS DENOUNCE REED, GARNER Pennsylvanian and Texan Are Called Issue Dodgers. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON. June 16.—Senator David A. Reed, Pennsylvania, Republican, and Congressman John N. Garner, Democrat, Texas, who will lead their parties in the Senate and House next Congress on taxation reduction maneuvering, today were denounced by the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment for dodging “the real issue.” “Both are fiddling while Rome burns in their picayune paring of various tax items while ignoring the huge waste of public funds in connection with attempting prohibition enforcement,” the association declared in reference to a Reed-Gar-ner newspaper taxation controversy. Garner’s Congressional record on prohibition is termed “obnoxiously dry,” while Reed, it is said, became “alarmed last year when Senator Pepper was defeated” and then proposed a referendum on prohibition.
