NEWCASTLE, Ind, June 20
Mayor Strod Hays, whose career in
Office has been marked by frequent
outbursts, has lost another battle,
it is generally believed here.
AS the result Dean L. Ross, city
inspector, both appointed and dis
missed by Hays, is beginning a new
term in off1ce-his first official term,
according to his attorneys and those
employed by the mayor to see to it
that Ross remained fired"
Ross brought a mandate action
to collect his pay, but attorneys en-
ployed by Hays to see that he did
not get the pay, charged in their
answer that Ross was never inspec-
or, because he had not been legally
appointed, under the last ordinance
governing the Office. The ordinance,
passed in 1918, had been forgotten
by city officials. 1t provided that
the health department. makes the
appointment, not the mayor.
Attorneys for Ross went to the
health department, and succeeded
in having Ross appointed by it.
They then added to their victory by
getting the city council to approve
the appointment. Ross was Inspec-
tor again before Hays and his at
torneys realized what had happened
Ross, today, is beginning gen.
eral cleanup of conditions that have

\ new warning that the govern

against liquor smuggling along
the Canadian border was nroad-
east today by Seymour Low
man, assistant secretary Of
treasury in charge of customs
and prohibition enforcement.
we are going right ahead and
there will be no let-up in this cam
paign until smuggling is stopped"
Lowman said. commenting on a re-
port from Detroit that rum runners
fired on United States customs men.
That shows the desperate charac-
ter of the men We are fighting" he
added, saying it illustrated the nes
cessity for arming federal agents.
Hoover Request Denied
Lowman said the organization OF
the customs service in the Detroit
district has been completed and that
it would proceed with fullest energy
against the snugglers.
Congress failed to comply with
the request of President Herbert
Hoover that a Joint committee be
appointed to cooperate during the
congressional recess with the Presi-
dents law enforcement commission,
looking to recommendations for re-
organization of prohibition enforce
nent agencies of the government
which could be. considered by con-
gress at its regular session next
December. Neither house acted on
this request before recessing for
the summer.
Just before the recess there was
criticism of Hoover's course on
prohibition in the senate.

James Doran. prohibition commits
sioner, believed that long step
forward in getting at liquor sources
had been taken with the returning

Wisconsin Out of Union

81 utcd Press
MADISON, Wis, June 20.-His-
torians fastened to the archieves
today to establish whether Wis
consin. with its Unique ideas about
prohibition enforcement, still is in
the union.
Senator Bernhard Gettelman, Mil
waukee, Who would put the state
into the liquor business, said he had
been informed Wisconsin formally
seeded from the union in 1857 over
the fugitive slave law question and
never had rescinded that action.
When repeal of the state dry law
was proposed few months ago,
Wisconsin W. c. T. U. officers i'm
mediately set up the cry Of
Secession came long ago.
Gettelman compared the slave
issue to the prohibition question and
pointed to the possibility of another
civil war" ensuing from present
enforcement methods.
The Milwaukee senator has spon-
Sored two novel legislative proposals
concerning prohibition, one actually
introduced and the other in prepa-
ration.
The one pending seeks to amend
the state constitution to permit
manufacture and sale of intoxicat-
ing liquors by the sttae.
Today he began work on a pro-
posal TO create state medical
liquor commission with the idea of
letting every man write his own
prescription.
