Jones Becomes Director Of
Prohibition" Under New
Regime of Andrews

Major Roy Al. Haynes, Federal
prohibition commissioner, has been
commissioner in name only for
more than a month, and today his
title means less than 1t ever did
The real chief Of the prohibition
forces is James e. Jones, assistant
commissioner, who has been run
ming affairs of the dry unit since
shortly after General Lincoln C.
Andrews took office as general SUI
pervisor of Volstead law enforce
ment.
Realizing the incongruity of keep
ing Mr.. Jones as assistant commits
sioner, whereas he was really the
guiding spirit of the Administration,
General Andrews gave him new
title, and his latest stationery bears
the letterhead Director of Prohibit
ton"
The first really important work
Undertaken by Mr.. Jones since the
Andrews regime came into being
was early in October, when he was
successful in having adopted new
engraved form of liquor presc.,is
tions, at which counterfeiters
CRASHED their teeth.
Everybody went to Mr.. Jones for
orders, and inquiries about Major
Haynes were met by vague replies.
Nobody knew. exactly what he was
supposed to be doing.
Shortly after this quiet deprfva-
tion OF authority had fallen on
Major Haynes the information Of
flee was practically disbanded, and
new faces froms General Andrews
office began to show up, and to
speak out about their war on the

Captain Burlingame's flying

Frederick Al. Fenning today" when
told of the opinions of the coro-
ner's jury and the Chamber of
Commerce that steps should be
taken to curb the recklessness of
police chasing bootleggers.
Commissioner Fenning said the
police department would continue
its operations to cut down rum
running in the District OF Columbia

acted as heretofore Its work would
be commendable
Major Edward B. Hesse, superin-
tendent of the police department..
concurred with Commissioner Fen

Despite the decision handed down
by the coroners jury yesterday in
sending Policemen Henry Rtnke and
Robert Langdon with Francis Dee

.that steps be taken to curb the reck-
less activities of Captain Burlingame
and his squad, Major Hesse said he
would take no action.
It is merely the opinion of q few
people that the flying squadron is
not acting safely with all circum
stances taken into consideration,

Major Hesse for Redress

Major Edwin sHesse, Superila-
tendent Of Police, today ordered
an investigation into the action
.of Captain Albert ]. Headley, of
the Fourth Precinct, lii stationing
policemen Of his precinct in four
hour shifts IN the near bear
saloon and lunchroonl owned by
Thomas Koran, 523 Seventh
street southwest, for the past two
months.
According to Koran, this action
on the part Of Captain Headley
is entirely unprovoked. This con-
slant surveillance inside of his
place of business by the police
not only has caused him great
financial loss, he says, but has
also hurt the business Of bar
Der shop and a cigar stand adj
joining his place of business.
No Arrests Known
s Police Of the Fourth precinct
admit that Koran has never been
arrested on any charge, and further,
state that they have no recollection
of anyone ever having been arrest
ed in Horan's saloon
Practically the entire personnel
of the Fourth precinct has done
duty one or more times in the
four-hour shift period ordered by
Captain Headley.
II have been IN business in
Washington for seventeen years and
have never had any trouble with
the police during that time, Mr..
Koran said today, and am there
fore at loss to understand Cap
tain Headley's action.
There have been no violations
of the prohibition or any other
been in business here, and I feel
that I am being done great in
justice by Captain Headley. Even
his own policemen, stationed here,
feel sorry for me, and have de-
clared this action an outrage, he
said.
According to Mr.. Horan, he pur-
chased the near-beer saloon and
lunchroorn in June. Previous to
that time he had been engaged in
the lunchroom business in another
section of the city. When inter-
viewed today neighbors spoke
highly of him.
Ordered to Duty
About the middle Of last Septern-
Der, without any warning Koran
says. policeman attached to the
Fourth Precinct entered the place
at o'clock in the morning and
said that he had been ordered for
duty there by Captain Headley. He
was relieved at noon by another
policeman and at 4 o'clock another
relief arrived. He stayed on duty
until 8 o'clock, at which tiEae the
fourth policeman made his appear

HAYDEN SAYS ARIZONA
TO GET OVER MILLION
FEDERAL AID THIS YEAR

Arizona will receive a little over
81 100000 federal aid money to help
build highways in this state during
the coming year, Congressman Carl
Hayden told the members of the
Phoenix Lions club last week. The
federal government will appropriate
as high as 72 per cent of the total
cost of the roads through certain sec
tions of the state, Mr.. Hayden de-
clared.
Arizona failed to get her share of
federal aid, Mr.. Hayden stated, as
the area of untaxed Indian lands left
the taxable area at point where it
was impossible to match the fund and
build any kind of highways across the
state. Mr.. Hayden said that this year
he had worked to have the amount of
federal aid increased and succeeded in
getting as high as " per cent federal
aid. This takes in the untaxed In
dian lands
Federal road building plans call for
new road schedule leading to and
around the Grand Canyon. Give

highway program is competed, Mt.
Hayden said He compared the
thorough system of highways in Yel-
lowstone park to the road that now
leads only to the rim. The new road
will penetrate the depths of the can
yon and branch roads will include the
points Of scenic interest. When this
road is completed Arizona will receive
plenty of publicity through the inter-
ior department, Mr.. Hayden said

LARUE SAYS BRIDGE
CANYON is DAMSTTE
BETTER THAN BOULDER

Plans to secure joint engineering
survey Of the Colorado river, with
the state of Arizona and the United
States geological survey cooperating,
are being considered by Frank P.
Trott, newly appointed state water
commissioner.
Assurances of such a survey have
been made more certain by the pub
lication in Los Angeles Of a new re-
port brought out by II. C. LaRue,
chief hydraulic engineer with the geo
logical survey, relative to the acque-
duct plans OF Los Angeles and neigh
boring cities.
This report gives Bridge canyon
the preference over Boulder canyon
as being the most feasible site for
dam, a conclusion that was reached
by Mr.. Trott in report filed with the
governor and presented to the legisla-
ture some weeks ago
The Bridge canyon site is between
walls of solid rock and permits the
construction of dam from 500 to 900
feet high. According to LaRue it
would be less expensive to divert
water from the river at this point,
convey it by tunnel or otherwise to a
point lower down and syphon it under
the river, thence to Los Angeles, than
by pumping the water over the di-
vide after being diverted from the
liver at Boulder canyon.
That Arizona will be in on any at
tempt to develop the Bridge canyon
site was indicated by the following
statement from Water Commissioner
TTott:
q have read with much interest a
statement from Mr.. LaRue, outlining
a gravity plan for diverting water
from the Colorado river at the Bridge
canyon dan1site.
sAs / gather from this statement,
Mr.. LaRue and myself seem to be in
sull accord"
