HAYNES LIKELY ID
 QUIT DRY OFFICES
Nith Harding Gone, He Has no
 Official Friends Left
nr GEORGE H. MANNING


 SWashington Bureau of New Britain Heraldl
 Washington, D. c. Aug. 2s.-Re. ports of Prohibition Commissions, Roy A. Haynes illness are being gen. orally taken as practically conclusive Werihcation of recent predictions that the Ohio man will resign his post as head of the Volstead law enforcement bureau before snow flies.
 With Warren c. Harding, his spon- sor and protector, gone, Haynes will ind it very uncomfortable and diff cult to work under Secretary Mellon and Internal Revenue Commissioner Blair who have had it in for him. rom the start, it is believed.
 The consensus of opinion is that Mir. Haynes sees the handwriting on the wall and realizes that, although President Coolidge may be staunch supporter of his predecessors policies, he does not feel called on to assume MT. Harding's friendships.
 With Grain Of Salt.
 For this reason, the alleged serious ress of MT. Haynes condition is taken with several grains of salt by most political wiseacres, who see in the throat operation about to be under gone by the anti-hooch director a more or less providential excuse for the rendering of his resignation on account of i'll health. Not that there is any doubt as to the fact of MT. Haynes throat trouble. Several times before during his incumbency he has disappeared from the capital for medical treatment, but he has usually managed to return to his desk. with at least enough vocal powers to whisper orders to his trusted aides, is being dried up"
 Mir. Haynes has recently been quoted as having told several of his friends that he was planning to resign his office in order to become a can didate for governor of Ohio. It is now learned from a reliable source, however. that he. has abandoned this idea-and some say that the ground of i'll health is liable to cause him less em mbarrassment, than any other cx- cuse.
 Probably Will Retire.
 But whatever the grounds. there are very few who doubt that Commis- ;ioner Haynes is going to retire. The whole history of his occupancy of his office is story of his protection by President Harding, who had close friendship with his fellow Ohio editor. Neither Secretary Mellon nor Internal Revenue Com missioner Blair, Haynes superiors, have ever dis played any marked sympathy with the Haynes administration. and the pre3i- | dents intervention has been continu- ally necessary to shield the prohibit ton commissioner from the wrath Of lis departmental chiefs. As an instance Of the way in which Mr. Haynes, was always getting him self in hot water with his superiors is he comparatively recent episode Of his books complete story of pro- hibiton enforcement. as waged under Commissioner Haynes, written by Mir.

Majority of Yale Football
 Cubs Are Now DisQualifed

New Haven, Aug, 28.-More than half the members of the Yale Fresh men football eleven of last fall have been disqualified for the coming sea- son and will not be varsity material as expected. Three of the regulars were dropped for low scholarship while eight were found guilty of in stigating the Freshman riot last spring and have been barred from Yale athletics for one year. The loss of the freshmen will be a severe blow to varsity prospects because of the unusually large graduation of varsity players last June, One of the most promising players disqualified is Cap tain Dan Allen, hslf-back and former Andover star.

Times for serial publication. prior tc its appearance in book form.
 Book Causes Trouble
 When this was announced. the charge was at once made that, if the information in Mir. Haynes book was properly public information it should have been given free of charge to all papers alike--and if not information to which the public was entitled, it could not ethically be published by Mr. Haynes in any way. This popu- lar view of the situation was fully acquiesced in by Commissioner Blair and Haynes was summoned to his office and put on the carpet for the greater part of two days.
 Just what Mir. Haynes was told by his chief will probably always remain shrowded in mystery-but aside from speaking his mind with more or less freedom in the privacy of his office, MT. Blair was powerless to adminis- ter any public rebuke because Presi- dent Harding had sanctioned the Haynes book by personally writing the to it.
 President Coolidge's attitude toward Haynes is not known to be unfriendly; but it is certain that MT. Haynes will no longer be able to look to the White House for champion against Secre- tary Mellon and Commissioner Blair. And under these circumstances his tenure of office will be precarious, to say the least
 Not a Bed of Roses.
 Even with President Hardings protection, Haynes job was nothing resembling bed of roses. When he brought Hazeltine, the so-called "bearcat of the northwest" to Phila- delphia as divisional director, he was met by Senator Peppers refusal to the operations of the prodigy in his state, and forced to send the "bearcat" to Florida.
 When he attempted to name an anti-saloon league candidate as pro- director for New Jersey, the was blocked by Senator Edge, and after six months of futile struggle, he had to name an Edge man.
 When, after the fall of Hazeltine in Philadelphia, by the diction of Sena- tor Pepper, Director Sans was sent to that post, Senator Edge delivered his edict that MT. Sans might work in Pennsylvania, but his activities were not wanted and would not be permitted in, New Jersey-and since that time the New Jersey state direc- tor, a close friend of Senator Edges has had full sway in New Jersey, while the divisional director has con- ined himself to the Pennsylvania half ,f his division. Similar occurrences throughout the country have continu- lily marked the administration of Commissioner Haynes.
 Incidentally, it may also be men, toned that former Congressman Bas- ;om Slemp. who has been named as to President Coolidge, and sexpected to act as political advisor o the chief executive, has never been leard emitting loud cheers for Haynes. Mr. Slemp, however. did lave an important part in the ap- ointment of Blair, his close. friend as avenue commissioner, and might be to back up the latter in any | nove to oust Haynes which he might | ind necessary.

DOUBLE LIFE BARED
 AS BODY IS FOUND
New York Man Dies MySteriouSly
 in Mistress Apartment

New York, Aug. 2S.-Another chapter in Broadway's nightslife slow ly is being revealed to police in the murder of John H. Sutphen, a pri- vate secretary, who was found dead, 8 warm pipe in his mouth, day before yesterday,
 Two tlashily dressed women; the presence of poison in Sutphen's stom- i ach: third woman known as Mrs, Sutphen" who lived in his apartment and real Mrs. Sutphen in New Jer- sey were the tangible facts police had to work on. It also was learned 1 that Sutphen, although working at a comparatively small salary. had been 1 paying high rent for more than a year for the Central Park West apart ment which he occupied.
 The two women were first seen in Sutphen's apartment by a medical ex- aminer who went to the spot when the secretary's body first was discov- cred by d friend. who said he had taken Sutphen home in an intoxicat- ed condition the night before.
 One of the mysteries confronting the police is how the poison was ad- ministered. No glasses showing the slightest trace of poison had been found in the apartment. There was a suggestion that the death poison had been placed in the stem of Sut- phen's pipe.
 No definite motive could be found for the murder, although police stressed the importance of finding the women seen in the apartment.
 It was not until his death that Stuphen's alleged double life" was revealed.
 Sutphens expenditures and their relation to his probable income as private secretary to George A. Heime, l tobacco and snuff manufacturer. were | studied by the police. Sutphen lived 1 lavishly. paying s12.ooo a year for his l apartment.
 Sutphen was said 10 have inherited | s300,0 ,000 from his mother, who died | in Englishtown. N. J., little over a | week ago.

JUDGE GRANTS TENANT INTEREST ON PRE-RENT
Where Gotham People Put Up Ad- vance. It Will Earn 6 Per Cent

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The' New York Iandlard has been interrupted at a quiet job of plundering which in the last few years of the hous- ing shortage has given him millions of dollars, free.
 Mrs Christine Kelly is a Glasgow woman who can find better ways to use per cent interest on her money than giving it free to a rich realty corporation. It was Mrs. Kelly, a widow. with large family of grown sons and daughters who, in a five minute hearing before Judge William E. Morris of the municipal court, ob- tained a ruling which can compel every landlord in the city to pay 6 per cent interest on the rent de posit" posted by every tenant.
 Nineteen months ago Mrs. Kelly rented an apartment for s100 month and. as usual, posted a for felt of one months rent with the landlord. This is the general practice in New York. The landlord demands it as guarantee in case the tenant should move before the expiration of the lease. In the present shortage landlords seldom have any trouble reletting an apartment, so the S100 would be velvet" if it were seized in this manner.
 After 19 months, Mrs. Kelly pur- posely fell one month behind with her rent. The realty corporation threatened. Mrs. Kelly said she would redeposit the forfeit if the corpora- tion would pay her 6 per cent com pound interest on $1O0 for 19 months and per cent in the future The corporation brought her to court.
 The landlord must pay interest on the money" said Judge Morris.
 That brief opinion meant millions to the landlords and millions to the renters. Some landlords require as much as the equivalent of three months rent, and in the cases of some apartments this amounts to $l,00O. From the renters of a build Ing having 50 or 100 apartments. a landlord has been able to borrow. without interest, from his tenants. enough money to put up new build ines wherein to exact further free building loans.
 No wonder landlords can start on shoe string and run it into a block or apartments,' said the indignant take my interest, please"

WOMEN MEDICS JEER AT MEDICAL EDITOR
Charge Made That They Are h.
 ferior To Men In Practice

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-Woman physicians of New York are surprised ttorial in the New York Medical Jour nal and Medical Record, entitled, Women in Medicine"
 Women" says the editor, "are not nearly so well fitted as men to prac- '. tice n. n.edicine. This he conjectures, It's due to '.feredity.
 "As a class they are more liable to mental breakdown" he writes.
 He grants them intuition" which nay help in diagnosis, and an inher- ! snt lawabiding conservatism, the re gult of the Hong continuance Of .aan's supremacy" Although it is nany years since women were admit ted to the field, he says, their prog ress has Jagged somewhat.
 Dr. Mary D. Rose, president of the New York Medical society, chuckled Nover woman's Tagging progress
 Ut is easier today for woman physician to get and hold good 2 practice than it is for a u.an," she said. There are not enough women physicians to satisfy the demand. Women doctors have so much more business than they can handle that they are usually able to retire, ffnan ctally independent, at an early stage, unless their love of the profession keeps them working when they no lonber have to-
 Dr. Eliza Mosher of Brooklyn, one of the best known woman physi- clans in the country. said the actual history of the work done by the American women's hospitals in the war contradicted the statement on ~omens Hack of adaptability." Sh9 also said the statements about wom- ems physical unfitness" to be physi= cians were disproved by the hundreds of women who had done both a mans and a woman's work in the profession.
 Dr. Elizabeth Thefberg of Nassar college called the editorial ridiculous
 pr. W7lhelmina Ragland of the staff of tine New York Infirmary for Women and Children and special ist in obstetrics, said the article was a good joke" and that women are more and more successful in the pro- fessiou.
 Dr. Augusta Fucker of No. 145 East Thirty sixth street, said women. by their psychological attributes are especially well fitted for general medical practice. Women, she assert ed are by nature more interested in the individual and his problems of health, instead of the narrow field of medical research and investigation.
 Dr. Esther r. Loyejoy of the American Women's hospital said the editorial sounded far from the truth. "
