HAYNES NOTIFIES MORGAN

IXDIAJTAPOLIS. Indiana. Dec 4. A program of more concerted co-ope-ation berw-een federal officials and local enforcement agencies Is planned for the coming year. Federal Prohibition Commissioner R. A. Haynes advises Director Bert C. Morgan of thig State. Section II. of tha enforcement act divides the responsibility between the government and tha States Practically nil of the States have enacted legislation to this end and the various State agencies report increasing: evidence of co-operation. Commissioner Haynes says that every State, county and city has the initial '-esponsibtlSty of cleaning up its own conditions througrh locally selected officials, before the federal machinery should be expected to take charge. Ilance, the necessity of close co-operation between the States and Federal agencies. Director Morgan is greatly pleased with the progress that has been m'ide in enforcement in this State, and Is most optlmlstio In regards to the future, in view of the spi-it of co-operation. In evidence practically everywhere. More and more is the public becoming convinced that the success of enforcement lies aa much with the people themselves a.s with the officers who axe designated to enforce the law. Ia spite of obstacles a.nd many complications, prohibition is showing itself as & means of pronounced public betterment, of improved living conditions, and healthier. happier human beings. There la evidence everywhere of marked progress la the way of enforcement. Tills Is not the time to be Impatient, nor discouraged, for the friends of the law are truly In action, as shown toy report which Commissioner Haynes has receired from the various States, Justifying the optimism which he entertains. Tiodnolnsr the source of supply.

through concentration, ia Commissioner Haynes' opinion, will aid materially in enforcement and also make for economy, for, as he says, economy has been the watchword of the administration. Concentration of bonded whiskey in a smaller number of bonded warehouses will esult in the saving cf at least $300.--"'00 per annum. A savin? of S250,000 has been effected through reductions secured in rental of office and storage ,pace and the disposition of seized property. A furthejavlng of $156,000 annually has been effected by the readjusting of salaries. Referring to the cry that prohibition is a "failure," Commissioner Haynes says that in his Judgment, one of the most remarkable successes ever attained in the enforcement of a new and drastic law has been recorded in the present status of enforcement of the National Prohibition Act. A complete reorganization has been effected tn the last fifteen months. Fifty-one directors' offices have been established in each State, and Hawaii, Torto Rico and Alaska. These complete changes in the reorganization of the work have resulted in the elimination of duplication of work and a greater efficiency. Experienced men of undoubted Integrity have been called into service. The Washington office of over 600 employees, and all the Field Forces have become enthused with the greatness of th task. Thirty-two hundred and one temporary and permanent appointments have been made during this fifteenmonth period. A new feature of the organization is the General Agents' Force operating independent of the Directors' Forces. To date this force has reported 3.231 cases, and recommended taxes in the amount of $24,168,824.62. The Narcotic forces, which also operate under the prohibition unit, have also been reorganized. There has resulted such an increase of efficiency that with no large appropriation or appreciable increase in field force, there has been an Increase of come sixty-five percent in the number of violations reported in the period of one year, and an Increase of one hundred percent in thf- Tinvlrtior"? secured.

The business or defending the light ight championship of the world has been put aside temporarily by Benny Leonard and tor the time l:e is an actor. Taougljta of a rosined canvas fioor, five ounce gloves a d the cheers of a fight crazed multitude still are in th back of his head, but uppsrna j. t in his mind are the footlights, his lines and gestures and .he polite applause of t fashionable audiercp "Not until recently did I ever think serious! cf going ii the stage," he said recently. "I've had lots of offers to go into vaudeville at one time or another, but I al ways turned them down. The ic?a of merely punchir.gr a baj, skip ping a rope and doin the usual stunts of a boxer's act d: 'n't appeal to me. The work I'm doine now is different. T have a part m a show. I sing a sor;g I can sin a little bit, you know and trad gags with a comedian and all that sort of thing. I like it because it gives the people ch ..ee to see another Leonard thai, the one they've known a Leona.-d who sneaks English and laughs with them and lets them see he's something more than just a ighter. "As a matter of fact tha the main thing I'd have the public know that I can do iomethine other than fight. The boxing game hasn't the grip on me it once had. I've put a few years uito it ai.d I've worked hard at it I've won the championship of my c'a?s and I've held it for some time There are no more thrills left in it for me and I have little or nothing more to gain from it. A few more big fights and I'll be ready to stop. I know I've said that before, but I mean it. Meanwhile I want the puhlic to regard me as something more than just a fellow who knows how to put up his hands." After all. what are i j most important accomplishments . a c.rize fighter's life? Johnny Coulon peems to have answered the question. Where in the past he has

often shown signs of worry nd depression on the eve of some more or less talked of ring tussle, Le is absolutely beside himself now He has left a Congressiona1 Medal awarded to him for saving the 'ife of a boy in July, 1905. Friends claim that' he cherises the medal more than any honor te ever won with the padded mitta. Disheartened by his reverse at

I the hands of Mickey Walkt in the i Garden ex-welterweight champion I Jack Britton now says he will quit I the ring. I "I am getting too ola to train," ' the former champion declared, sor- : rowfully. "I thought I was in good shape for Walker, but when I got into the ring my muscles would ; not respond. I just couldn't get ; started. ! "I have been boxing so long that i training has become almost a tor- : ture. Many times I have decidt'.I ; to retire, but after I take, a rest ; and f?--t feeling tike a youngster ; I just have to go back at it again, j But I have been boxing since 1903 land I am not foolish enough to I think that I can go on forever." ! Mrs. Britton, the mother of three j fine boys, is urging her Jack to j retire from the ring. "Even though ; I have always had confidence that Jack could take care of himself, it i has been a terrible strain all these i vears and I want him to stop," i she said. j E!ritton may be willing to quit t the game now, but there is an- ! other factor in the case that may

cause him to continue oxing for a while. He is wealthy but his manager, Dan Morgan, who made him and handled him all those years is broke, and Britton isn't of the ordinary run of boxers who would cjuit to live a life of case while h:s best friend was in need.

bmce he dropped his title by a decision, and did not suffer the hui milistion of a knockout, Britton i is still a good card and he may ! continue to engage in small bouts j where he will not have to undergl I the strain of intense training.

He who is silent is forgotten. He who abstains is taken at. his word. He who does not advance falls back. He who stops is overwhelmed, outdistanced, crushed.

He who ceases to grow greater becomes smaller. He who leaves off gives up. The stationary condition is the beginning of the end. 1
