'BOYCE STILL
HAS DIGNITY
But Prohibition Officer
Loses All Furniture in
Office
BORROWS DESK
AND SOME CHAIRS

Federal Prohibition Director W.
TruXton Boyce and his staff were to-
day using one desk, large table and
three chairs. Their regular Office
equipment was carted away yester-
day afternoon on requisition of the
Federal Bureau OF Employment at
Washington. to which city it was
shipped.
The Federal Prohibition Office Is
located in the United States Engineer
Building. Sixth and King streets.
1t was reported that the dry"
staff was using packing boxes for
desks and upturned vegetable bas-
kets for chairs This report, how
ever. proved an error. At the office
Il was said that Director Boyce had
been expecting for some time past
that the Office furniture would be re-
moved, but did not think the action
would occur so soon.
During the war, when the United
States Employment Bureau was
! located at Sixth and King streets,
| the government furnished it with a
complete set of desks. chairs and
| cabinets. Later, when the armistice
was signed and the use for such an
employment office dwindled. the
dry" officers moved into the rooms
formerly occupied by the employ
ment men. As a matter of conven-
ience. the prohibition authorities
made use Of the furniture which had
been supplied the former tenants OF
the office.
Yesterday afternoon several motor
vans drove up to the Engineer Build
ing and a gang Of men proceeded to
cart away the desks and chairs. Di-
rector Boyce. Israel Howard, chief
of the enforcement squad. and Harry
I y. Willis. chief clerk, did some lively
work, emptying drawers OF their con
tents. After the furniture had beer
taken away. Director Boyce got &
desk from the internal revenue Office
Ia the Postofice Building. and al
antiquated table which had beer
stored in a conference room in th'
Engineer Building.
Speaking today Of the incident. hi
rector Boyce said that it was due t'
his desire to save the Governmen
money. Instead Of making n re
QUESTION for Office furniture he ha,
used the equipment LETT by the ole
femployment bureau.
AT any rate" he said smilingly

The Boy heaved a sigh Of relief
