Offices for Three States

Headquarters for the general
prohibition agents in Texas, New
Mexico and Arizona, working under
Divisional Chief w. d. Smith, are
being moved from Eel Paso to San
Antonio where the offices will be
situated on the fifth floor of the
Bedell building, according TO inform

moved into two offices rented by
the prohibition officials Saturday
morning. although the divisional chief
will not be in San Antonio until next
Tuesday. it is reported.
General prohibition agents work
directly under the orders of their di-
visional chief and have no connec-
tion whatever with local prohibition
agents. who in turn work unde- the
direction of their groupheads. The
general prohibition agents travel from
one place TO another to assist the local
agents in enforcing the VolstcId act.
There was considerable speculation
throughout the federal building Sat

According to information obtained
at the federal building, the headquar
ter's offices of the general prohibition
agents in Ell PasO We're situated in
the federal building there where the
prohibition department was not COM
PEELED to paw rent. The fact that the
general headquarters has been moved
under these conditions has puzzled
federal officials here.
In political CIRCLES the transfer of
the offices to San Antonio has given
rise to speculation as to whether or
not the transer of the offices from
FL Paso will bring about the appoint
ment of grouphcad for that terri
tory, or whether it will affect in any
way the local office under the charge
When the general prohibition head
quarters were first moved to FL Paso.
it is recalled, +. c. White was then
grouphead in charge at FL Paso. The
office of grouphcad for FL Paso was
then abolished and Mr.. White was
made a general prohibition agent. II
the prohibition bureau should foll,w
the same policy of abolshing the of
flee of group, , in the city which
is headquarters for the general pro-
hibition agents, it would affect the
local office.
