HAYNES, FIELD
LEADER, LIKELY
TOBERETlRED
Coolidge Would Like to
See More Attention
Given Bootleggers and
Less to Pocket Flask

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan.
1.-THE sixth year Of national
prohibition has been ushered in
with changes in both the, per-
sonnel and methods of the fed
eral prohibition corps. Roy A.
Haynes, field marshal Of en-
forcement since early in the
Harding administration seems
likely to be replaced by someone
who heretofore has viewed the
governments prohibition activ-
tiles from a distance and who
will bring to the service enforce
ment opinions Of his own.
Meantime, it has been revealed at the
White House in the most suave manner
that President Coolidge would like to see
federal agents give their major atten-
tion to booteggers and not to hip pock-
ct flasks and that he does not favor a
bill reported by the house judiciary
committee making it mandatory for the
courts to impose jail sentences on those
convicted Of breaking the Volstead act.
At the same time it was implied but
not stated specifically, that the admin
istration might look with favor on the
Chamton bill removing the prohibition
unit from the internal revenue bureau
and making it an Independent bureau
itself under the treasury department.
Consumers of industrial alcohol ap-
pearing before committee Of congress,
have in some cases opposed the Cham
ton bill if prohibition enforcement is to
remain as it is and Mr.. Haynes is to
have control over the release of alco-
hol for industrial purposes. The Anti
Saloon league has endorsed the bill and
al the same time has defended repeat
adly the methods of Mr.. Haynes.
1t appeared likely today that the
present prohibition commissioner might
remain on the job pending passage of
the Cramton bill but would be expected
to sep out in the course Of the reor-
ganization that would put it into effect.
His successor has not been selected.

De legates Refuse to
Modify Demands

PARIS, Jan. 17.-The tariff war be-

expected in business circles to continue
for a considerable period despite the
efforts of Minister of Commerce Ray
naldi to keep the question open and
prevent formal rupture Of the negotia-
tions for temporary commercial ac-
cord.
The French delegates, it is disclosed
by persons present at Yesterdays long
discussion. have gone far as they in
tend in their efforts to satisfy Ger
many's demands.
The technical men on the French de-
legation sometime ago irformed the
government that they were being asked
to make extravangant concessions.
NJ. Raynaldi has repeate dly informe d
them they must go to the limit of con-
ciliation in order to make an agreement
possible. They now say they have gone
beyond that limit and that nothing more
can be done on the French side to bring
about an accord.
The suspension Of the negotiations
after yesterdays conference between
the French and German negotiators
really is considered as rupture, al
though that word still is carefully
avoided in official circles The Ger
man counter proposals were rejected by
the French while the Germans -declar
ed they could not accept the French
suggestions for temporary agreement
Full reports on the situation are being
forwarded to Berlin but it is understood
that what purports to be new French
proposition is merely a re statement Of
the French case which is being put up
