ANDREWS MAY GIVE
UP PROHIBITION lob
Discouraged at Failure of
Congress to Pass Dry Bills
Held Essential.

Gen. Lincoln G. Andrews is seriously
considering resigning as prohibition
chief because OF his discouragemen1
over the failure of Congress to enact
legislation he has recommended as
essential to carrying out effectively
his program of enforcement
Although he has reached no decision
and even should he decide to resigr
he probably would not do so before
September. Gen. Andrews has admit
ted to friends that he has beer
brought to the point Of giving serious
thought to the matter.
While Congress has given him the
money and men he has asked for. Gen
Andrews said yesterday. IL II fails tC
act on the prohibition bill, with its
provisions to strengthen the Eolstead
act. 1t will be "a serious handicar
in the campaign we have outlined for
this year" This legislation. he said
Is vital if we are going to get at
the real sources of liquor supplies"
Organizing New Forces.
Meanwhile. the Assistant Secretary
Is busy organizing tho new forces au
thoriZed by Congress for the fiscal
year, which began Thursday, and tC
whip his orga nization into shape be
fore he leaves next week for London
Gen. Andrews will head the Amer
ican mission going to England at the
invitation of that government in an
effort to effect close cooperation be
tween the countries in enforcement
of the smuggling treaty. There also
Is possibility that he will visit other
European capitals unofficially in that
connection and he will not return
until early August.
Another factor in the situation OF
his continuance in office is the health
of Mr.. Andrews. who has been con
siderably affected in recent months by
the strain of his work.
Bills Approved in Committee.
Among the bills which Gen. Andrews
proposed to Congress as necessary to
the proper enforcement OF prohlol
ton" were those providing for the ere
alton Of a separate prohibition ano
customs bureau, measures authorizing
more strict provisions of alcohol and
brewery permits, and another with
several provisions proposing to put
teeth" in the Volstead act. The
House approved the first of these
which is still before the Senate, and
the others have been favorably re
ported by committees in both the Sen
ate and House, but have not been
brought to vote.
In connection with his new organi
zation, MIR. Andrews was forced yes
terday to find a new chief for the al
cohol squad. John Foster resigned
that office and Mr.. Andrews named
Frank Hale. connected with the New New
York prohibition office, as acting
supervisor, with headquarters here.
The Secretary expressed satisfactlor
over the prohibition situation in New
York, where he made an inspection
visit Thursday. He describes the New
York force, under the direction OF
Col. John Mills, as efficient and
promising of future development
Mr.. Andrews expects to summon all
of the prohibition administrators for
a conference here in September, at
which time he hopes to have this
years campaign in full swing.

NEW YORK, April 22.-William
Muldoon. first chairman and senior
member of the New York boxing com
mission, threatened to resign today
unless his fellow commissioners
changed their stand against heavy
weight championship fight between
Jack Dempsey and Gene Tunncy.
Muldoon said the commission had
placed itself in "ridiculous pos
ition, and he said that under no
circumstances would he vote APP
proval for bout between Dempsey
and Harry Wills.
He said he had a personal and
professional preference for Tunncy
as the challenger and he would not
become a party to threats that Tex
RickaI'd would be driven out ofshQx-
ing if he matched Demrsey and TIM.

"a Dempsey -Tunpey flight, J" he
said, "would lin rIrth more frt cr-'

why Tmncy should not be allowed

Joe Leopole, who meets Ernie Far
ren in the semi-final, was seen in ac
tion at McXicali several times
little more than year ago, and he
gave Il good account of himself on
each occasion.
Followers Of boxing in larger
cities, who may have an opportunity
to see champs and near champs in
action, would probably see nothing
much in the three preliminary fights
that are scheduled for the evening $
performance, but Imperial Valley
fans know that the boys who are
lined up for the occasion can fight,
and fight hard, even though they
the finer points Of boxing.
Bonnie Romero and Jimmy Er9d-
shaw, for example. They would look
miserable against the topnotch boys
in the country, but when they meet
tomorrow night in grudge fight,
there is going to be plenty of action.
Romero is sore as a wet hen because
hc figured he beat Bradshaw the
last time out. instead of getting a
draw as the referee decided the af
fray.

Last year the Braw1cv gang used
to come down to cheer Battling John

with Romero. This year Brawley
charged over to Horace Self, who
