Dry Chief Changes Mind About
Bringing Chicago Man
Here.

The great mind-changing stunt OF
Federal Prohibition Commissioners
| Roy A. Haynes, exercised In connec-
ton with the big national shake-up
of enforcement officials, was again
demonstrated yesterday when AS
sistant Director A. r. Harris, of Chi
cago, who was to have taken charge
Of the District division on July /,
| was ordered to duty in Kansas CITY.
It had been officially announced,
after considerable mix-up in choices,
| that Harris would succeed Edgar N.
Read as local dry chief on July /.
Reads destination was changed two
or three times, and it was finally es-
tablished yesterday that he would be
the new director of the Alabama
office.
Everything was arranged for Har-
ris' assignment to Washington. To-
day, however, the commissioner and
his aides made an unexpected move
in the game and switched the Chi.
cago man to Kansas City. The Mis-.
souri, post had long been a matter
of doubt.
This latest development leaves the
District division with a retiring chief,
but with no incoming executive.
Questioned today, Assistant Prohi-
bition Commissioner James r. Jones
stated that the list Of officials was
beng scanned carefully in search Of
man eligible for the local job.
I'VE want an experienced man Tor
this position" he said, but we have
given no definite confederation to any
group Of possible appointees. Our
search has not narrowed down that
far"
It was stated today that 1t is pos
sible a man now in the division may
be elevated to the position vacated
by Read. Officials realize, the impor-
lance OF giving the post to an execu.
tive who is familiar with Washing.

known locally in. connection with en-.

company's percentage of domestic
trade in harvesting machines has de
creased from IS per cent in 1908 to

On farm implement trade in gem

much smaller share OF the domestic

IN 1918 It was 22.e. the following

II was argued, would place 1t in an
unfair position in the competition OF
the business and would deprive Its
stockholders OF participating In a
