POLITICIANS AND VETS SEEK
TO KEEP DAVIS FROM JOB
Back Sutherland for Prohibition
Director Since Penrose's Death

ny n SIuU tOFT'SDOHu'Vt
Washington. Jan. 13.-Powerful po.
litical influences in Pennsylvania, aided
by the "wcts." are said to be seeking to
prevent thu appointment OF state Rep.
rcscntatvc John Il. Davis. OF Indiana
County, as Federal prohibition director
for Pennsylvania.
Davis has tho backing of the "drys"
and the Anti Saloon League. and was
in line for appointment By Prohibition
Commissioner Haynes when Senator
pcnrose died. 1t has been said since
that pcnrose approved Davis and that
the resignation Of William G.. McCon-
ncll. MS Prohibition Director was, at
the time of the Senator death, mat
ter Of only few days.
Prohibition officials stated today Nc
Conncll's resignation could be expected
"at an carly date Similar reports
have come from official sources for sev
cral weeks past.
Western Pennsylvania political lead
crs are backing J. Chester Sutherland,
Of Washington County, for the prohibit
ton dictatorship.
1t is understood Commissioner
Haynes will take up the Pennsylvania
situation in the next few days. lie will
probably communicate with Senators
Grow and Pepper before taking any
drastic action.
Meanwhile complaints against the
management of the Philadelphia Office
by Mcconnell and Rutter continue to
reach Washington through congress
sioual circles. During the week, two
steel companies have filed protests
against the red tape" measures alleged
to have been established since the dry"
agents have taken charge.
