APPLEBY REMOVAL is
TALKED At WASHINGTON
BY GEORGE H. MANNING
Washington Correspondent of The
Perth Amboy Evening News

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-In spite
of the rather weak denials of the
Washington prohibition headquar-
ters officials, the impression is gain
ing force here that the transfer of
Divisional Chief John Appleby from
the New Jersey and New York divi-
to the Boston division, announc-
ed here last Saturday, is more or less
attributable to the hot water Appleby
got himself into when he made the
alleged wanton and scurrilous attack
upon the Atlantic City officials and
business people.
Commissioner Roy Maynes is Gre
dited here with having noted the
reported determination of Senator
Walter e. Edge to demand the dis
missal or transfer of Appleby if the
latter could not prove his charges
against Atlantic City, the Senator's
home town, and to have made his
move before Senator Edge had OPP
portunity to deliver an ultimatum.
The only reason assigned by the
Washington prohibition headquar-
tiers for the transfer of Appleby
which also involved transfer of three
other divisional chiefs, is that 'it
was part of a well established pro-
cedure."
AT any rate, the removal OF APP
pleby from supervision over the
northern New Jersey division post
pones again the clash between Com
missioner Haynes and Senator Edge
which has been imminent since three
months ago when Edge checked
Haynes when the commissioner was
on the point of naming a new state
enforcement director of New Jer-
sey, who was endorsed by the Anti
Saloon League and Senator Freling-
huysen, without consulting Senator
Edge.
