Appointment of Doran as
Successor to Haynes Also
Anticipated.

The resignation of Assistant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Andrews, the
dropping of Acting Prohibition Com
missioner Roy a. Haynes and appoint
ment of DIR. James M. Doran to be
prohibition commissioner probably VIII
be announced late today by Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon. This sweep
ing change in enforcement. the most
far-reaching since Gen. Andrews took
hold two years Ggo,s in April, 1870,
was confidently expected TO be made
today by the administration, following
long-drawn-out and sensational bat.
tie over prohibition enforcement and
Haynes in particular.
Secretary Mellon attended a cabinet
meeting this morning at the White
House, where it was thought probable
he laid his entire program before the
President and his advisors.
The expected resignation OF Gen.
Andrews, an Army officer of long ex-
perience, it was anticipated. would
cause an even greater sensation than
the final disposition of that stormy
petrol, Roy n. Haynes.
job for Haynes Reported.
Haynes. it was reported in authentic
circles today. probably will be offered
well paid job in the Anti-Sa,oon
League, which has been his faithful
friend and most ardent supporter since
the beginning, in spite of almost
unanimous opposition from every
other source
Whether Secretary Mellon would
name a successor to Gen. Andrews
today. was not clear prior TO his for

The effective date of Een. Andrews
resignation was the subject of sptcu

that it would be very shortly.
The resignation of Assistant Secre'

terested in prohibition enforcement,
has enjoyed the entire respect and
confidence of Secretary Mellon and
President Coolidge.
Resignation Long Predicted.
1t was believed his resignation, long
predicted, was largely for personal
reasons, and it was known that he
felt that his mission of reorganizing
L
virtually had been completed. Gen.
Andrews succeeded. with the support
of the administration, in establishing
the new Bureau of Prohibition and
the Bureau of Customs and the set
ting Up of a coordination between
these two bureaus and the United
States Coast Guard for enforcement
purposes.
HAYNES, on the other hand. received
a final blow from the administration
which four times before had tried to
drop him, but had been prevented by
the Anti-Saloon League, according to
documentary evidence recently dis
closed. Haynes methods proved
troublesome and unsatisfactory not
only to his superiors but to great
ma ajority of his immediate associates,
the administration feels.
White for Assistant.
Haynes had been holding the job
of acting prohibition commissioner OF
the new prohibition unit created by
law, but in reality he was listed on the
pay roll as assistant prohibition COM
missioner This position, il IS under
stood. will be given to Mai. Herbert
II. White, brought into the service
by Gen. Andrews. Maj. White, who
at one time was prohibition admins
traitor for the District of Columbia and
Maryland, has had long experience
not only in the Army but in prohibi-
ton enforcement.
The two deputy prohibition COM
missioners, it is understood, will be
those now holding the positions. James
T.. Jones, for prohibition, and Col. l..
G.. Mutt, for narcotics.
Haynes has been prohibition com
missioner for several years. having
headed the prohibition unit which
preceded the Prohibition Bureau.
