 Pistols, shot guns. machine guns and firearms enough that 1t sounded like a civil war walked the echoes at East Birmingham yesterday.
 It was a sham battle staged to show friends of the Birmingham Sabres, cavalry organization under the command of Capt. John Carter, just what Uncle Sams men learn to do and are prepared to face in case of war or riot. But It was sufficiently real for most every body to murmur thankfully:
 Land, but I'm glad the stuff's not realr'
 For with blazing lights flaring brilliantly few moments and then dying upon the field, it was DO sible to discern dimly, or with daylight clearness, the outlines of soldier forms creeping on hands and knees, or flat on their stomachs, along the supposed NO Mans Land" where. had 1t been real war. many lives must have gone as sacrifice that Uncle Sam's whole people might have freedom from oppression.
 The boys invited 250 of thelr friends to be their guests at the ar fair; and besides these. great audience gathered outside the grounds to witness the unusuai anu

During Probe
Six Local Enforcem ent
Agents Suspended on
Charges of Unbccon,ing
Conduct : Director Quits
Business Prompts Move
Haynes Lauds Efficiency of
N. Y. Office; TO Appoint
Successor After Election

Ralph A. Day, prohibition director
here, announced his resignation yester-
day, effective November l. Almost
simultaneously six local enforcement
agents were suspended, as what is be-
lieved to be the first step in the revela-
tion of extensive frauds and graft.
The agents are Henry Gruenwald, Abra-
fam Toplitz, j. w. Carson, Joseph Fu-
salo, George Fennelli and Ross Saver.
Toplitz is accused of accepting bribe
of $1,000 from a. physician. The
charges against the others are as yet
no more definite than that of condu 4
unbecoming their Office.
The resignation of Director Day, it
was said, was il keeping with stipuIar
tion he made when he accepted the
office November ! 1921, that he must
be at liberty to resign at the end of a
year. He is q clothing manufacturer,
and does not feel that he should neg
lect his business any longer.
His resignation was announced in
Washington after he had had q con-
ference with Roy Haynes, Prohibition
Commissioner, and Commissioner B, air,
of the Internal Revenue Bureau, who
are said to have acquiesced most re-
luctantly in his decision to leave the
service.
Successor After Election
Although Commissioner Haynes gave
out a statement in which he said that
it was understood" that successor
to Director Day had been decided upon
some time ago, it was believed in we'll
informed quarters in Washington that
his successor would not be named until
after election.
Senator Calder, candidate for re-
election, wanted nothing to do with
time, it was said, believing it impossi-
BILE to avoid alternating one faction or
the other, and Senator Wadsworth con-
sistently has refrained from having any
thing to do with prohibition matters.
Charles d. Hilles, chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee, and
George Glynn, of the state commit
tee, are said to be equally reluctant
to interfere. The statement given out
by Commissioner HAYNES follows:
Haynes Praises Work
"At no stage of the conduct Of the
prohibition work since the Eighteenth
Amendment became operative has the
New York branch of the Federal pro-
hibition unit been on such high plane
of efficiency as to-day. When Mr.. Day
was importuned by close friends about
year ago to accept the appointment
as Federal Prohibition Director of the
State of New York he did so with great
reluctance. knowing that it would be
necessary for him to make many sacri-
fees, but because Of his deep interest
in the national Administration and the
welfare Of New York, and since there
was a unanmity of opinion among his
political and personal friends and the
officials at Washington that he was the
man best calculated TO bring the New
York Federal prohibition office up to
the high plane of efficiency required,
he ratriotically made the decision to
accept the appointment, with the dis
tinct understanding with Federal Pro-
hibition Commissioner Haynes that he
would devote his best energies to the
