S. Dry Chief Boy Haynes Ousted; Will Be Sup planted at Once; Chief Chem ist Named as Successor Washington. May 21. Gen. Lin coln C. Andrews, assistant secretary of the treasury, resigned Friday as "dry czar" in the most sweeping up heaval in prohibition enforcement since 1925. Roy A. Haynes was supplanted as nrnhibition commissioner and will retire to private life. Seymour Lowman, former lieuten ant governor of New York, will take office as Andrews' successor on Aug ust 1. Dr. J. M. Doran, prohibition chief chemist, will assume Haynes' place as prohibition commissioner at once Rests With Coolidge Doran's appointment, and the rec ommendation of Lowman, were an nounced officially by Secretary of the Treasury Mellon as forecast exclu sively by Universal Service. Low man's appointment rests with Presi dent Coolidge, but the president s favorable action is assured. Announcement of the two new ap pointments found both the national dry army and the forces of organized prohibitionists sundered as never be fore since the Volstead act became effective. Lowman and Doran, with Andrews' temporary help, will work to re-es tablish morale and vigor of action in the dry army aided, in the adminis tration view, in the elimination of both principals in the savage right waged over the commlssionership for more than two months- Defeat and Victory. For the organized prohibitionists the new deal was at once a crush Ing defeat and a partial victory for Wayne B. Wheeler and his support ers in the Anti-Saloon league. Wheel er made a nationwide campaign for Haynes' appointment as commission er, with successive ultimatums to Coolidge and Mellon, and lost. Both the threatened loss of his rulership among the organized drys was swiftly and dramatically averted by the retirement of Andrews. Low- man comes to Andrews post as a recognized dry and bearing the reput ed stamp of Wheeler's approval. OLDS SUCCESSOR OF GREW Washington, May 20. Formal an nouncedment that Joseph C.
