PLAN
By RoBT. 8. THoRNBURGH

AAASS4AASAAOAA1A
If the prohibition higher-ups
had any idea Of attempting to
have prohibition courses intro,
duced in the public schools.
that plan has been definitely
vetoed at the White House, II
was learned today.
President Hoover was not I'm.
pressed with that form of educa-
tional activity and so expressed him
self. The same view has been
adopted by high officials of the
Treasury and Prohibition Comm.s-
sioner j. NJ. Doran. who not only re.
pudiated the school drive but de-
cidcd nat to permit the distribution
Of the educational pamphlets until
he had time to peruse them
thoroughly.
Origin Of Pamphlets
On whose authority the prohibit.
tion pamphlets were prepared has
not been disclosed. It appeared Ger.
tain, however. that their issuance
came as a complete surprise to Sec.
rotary Mellon, Undersecrerasy Of the
Treasury Ogden L. Mills and As.
sistant Secretary Seymour Lowman,
in charge of prohibition.
Announcement Of the propaganda
campaign was made by subordinate
at the prohibition bureau while Com
missioner Doran was out of the city.
Immediately on his return a for.
NAL statement was issued explaining
the Treasury's position. with only
indefenite reference to the use OF
the $4,000 congressional appropria-
ton authorized to educate the pub
lie as to the advantages Of prohibi-
ton.
Not Anxious for Fund
In this connection it also was
learned that the Treasury was not
anxious for the $4,000 educational
campaign appropriation, feeling that
little benefit from the enforcement
standpoint would accrue. Now that
the money is available, it probably
will be spent, although in just
what manner the bureau never has
made clear.
PNDpagandizing by officials Of the
prohibition bureau on the morality
of the dry law has been tabooed
definitely by high Treasury authori-
ties. During the old Haynes dry
regime, reams OF information rela-
tive to enforcement conditions were
issued every week by q publicity
man for the bureau.
When Haynes was succeeded by
DR.. Doran, the dry press agent
office was closed and information
was given out by the commissioner
or the Treasury. Official said that
it was considered desirable to con-
tinue this policy.

racketeer to his death on
lonely Long Island road on
Monday evening, appeared i'm
minent today as detectives
here and in Boston threaded
their way through a maze Of
clues.
While Police Commissioner Grover
Whalen announced here that he
knew the identity of the two men,
New York detectives were In Boston

who last year was acquitted OF a
murder in South Boston as a result
of an alcohol war there.
Police Theory
Police now believe MARROW was
slain because he attempted to horn
in" on either the alcohol or Prize
fight racket in the Hub, and they
think that Mickey. the Wise Guy"
may be able to tell them what enc
mics NARROW made by his intrusion
into Massachusetts, territory.
The gangster also will be quizzed
concerning a report that he was seen
in a lunchroom on Flushing Avenue,
Brooklyn, shortly after Marlow's
body was found.
Mickey" was In Boston on Tues
day and has an alibi as to his
whereabouts on Monday evening, &C
cording to information received here
from Massachusetts.
Commissioner Whalen did not re-
veal the identity of the two men
who talked to NARROW before he
stepped into their automobile for
the fatal ride.
One OF the pair is a business
man" he said and the other a
sporting man."
Whalen Clears CapOne
Al Capone. king of the Chicago
underworld, who is now trying to
get out of Pennsylvania jail, had
no hand in the affair. in the opin-

LEIBER TO GIVE
SHAKESPEARE AT ENGLISH'S

It is expected that extraordinary
interest will be focused on Fritz
Leiber's conception of Hamlet"
when he performs that great role
on the opening night Thursday,
Feb. 81, at English's. With large
distinguished company he will play
a fortnight engagement at that
playhouse, giving a series of Shakes
pearean plays. Regarding the offer
ing, the theater management says:
"When Mr.. Leiber made his de-
but as a star in New York in 1913
if was in Hamlet the role essayed
by virtually every other great ro-
mantle actor of the past. He
achieved a tremendous success. Inc
reviewers called him the ideal Ham
let No less a critic than George
Jean Nathan, dramatic editor OF
the American Mercury, said: Lel+
Der is the best Interpreter of Shakes
peare on the American stage.
"Tn the years following his initia-
ton into stardom Mr.. Leiber has
won repeated successes in New
York, Chicago and other important
dramatic centers. Unlike many OF
his predecessors he gives to the
character of Hamlet" a calm, hu-
man natural performance.
GAS a matter of fact, Leiber's
playing as we'll as his company, is
based on naturalness. He takes the
attitude that the characters OF
Shakespeares time were no differ
ent humanity than those of today
so he goes about interpreting these
classic roles like any other actor
essaying modern plays. For that
reason he has popuIarized these
masterpieces by making them inter-
esting and understandable"
The plays for the engagement
will be: Hamlet Thursday night,
Macbeth" Friday night, Romeo
and Juliet" Saturday matinee and
1.-THE Tanning of the Shrew" Satur-
day night in modern dress making

while he tried to compose songs Of

mated him greatly, so much so that
it interfered with his regular work
AS a result he was fired. He then
went with Fred Fisher, also music

pianist again. But one day the ar
ranger and orchestrater for The

work was given to Henderson. He

VARIED LIFE
FOR COMPOSER

Ray Henderson, who composed
the music of Good News" starting
at English's Monday, Feb. rs, is a
Buffalo boy, having been born there
and matriculated from the Uni
versity of Buffalo, specializing in
music with particular stress on the
piano, organ and counterpart. On
finishing his course, Henderson
taught the piano to young Buffa-
loans and played the organ in vari-
Gus churches. From these sedate
occupations, he switched quite sud-
denly to jazz bands, and played for
the local balls and parties. The Or
ohestra which he played in won
such praise locally that it decided
to branch out and Henderson found
himself playing on street corners
for charity bazarS and then in a
whirl of one-night stands.
He came to New York to seek his
fortune about eight years ago, his
first job being with Leo Feist, music
publishers, as pianist. 1t was his
duty to play over the Feist songs for
