Washington. April 1.-Supervision of the major federal agencies charged with the enforcement of the prohibition act was placed today in the hands of Lincoln C. Andrews of New York, a West Point gradu- ate and a veteran of the great war.

 While officials declined to stress this phase of the reorganization as significant, it was indicated that Andrews later might attempt a rr- organization of the three agencies the prohibition unit, the coast guard and customs service - engaged wholly or partially in enforcement of the Volstcad act.
 Split Dry Unit
 In order to place the three arms of the service engaged in prohibit tion enforcement under Andrews, it was found necessary 10 split the prohibition unit and the internal revenue bureau under which the prohibition commissioner has many legal functions to perform.
 Details of the supervision which Andrews will exercise over the pro- hibition commissioner have not been worked out and it was said prob ably will be delayed until those in charge have had some experience to guide them.
 In taking all phases of prohibit ton enforcement from the jurisdic- ton of Assistant Secretary Moss. the treasury lifted a heavy burden from that official and at the same time sought to pave the way for the re- moval of the basis of many com plaints against enforcement

 City

New York, April 1.-The body of Mack Passwell. gambler-bootlegg and former cloak-and-suit merchant of St. Louis, was discovered today, stuffed into [. nook in the celiarway of a Park avenue apartment house.
 A bullet had entered the mans throat and another his head. In his clothes were found valuable watch and several pieces of jew elry, q few cents in cash and bank book showing recent deposits of $60,000. His fingers bore several eXpensively jewelled rings.
 Rose Fain, owner of a fruit store who said she knew the Passwell family on Maple street, St. Louis. identified the body. She described the dead man as one who played cards a great deal" and who re- gently had obtained permission to receive his mail at her shop. She was unable to tell where he lived.
 First efforts of police to learn Passwell's place of residence were unsuccessful. Reports that he had an apartment at the Alamac hotel were denied by the hotel manage ment.
 Authorities said they learned, however, that the dead man moved in mysterious circles: that he was a large operator in the sacramental wine branch of the bootlegging business; and that he had large sums on deposit in banks other than that identified by the East River National bank passbook found on the body.
