Funeral of Clyde Lancaster.
Last Saturday was held at the
Methodist church of Alvo the fun
eral of the late Clyde Lancaster, who
was killed in an auto accident, which
occurred in Omaha last week. Mr.
Lancaster was born near Waco thi
state in 1R91, and was united in mar
riage with Miss Vera Prouty some
eight years since. The union was
graced by the birth of two daughters
who aro respectively four and six
years of age, and most lovable little
misses. The family have been mak
ing their home in Omaha for some
time where Mr. Lancaster had been
engaged in the repairing business.
He was trying out a car that he
had been repairing when the acci
dent occurred, the car going over an
embankment which caused his death.
Mr. Lancaster was a member of the
American Legion, having served dur
ing the world war as a member of
the navy.
The funeral was held at the Meth
odist church of Alvo and conducted
by the Rev. R. II. Chenoweth, pastor
of the church. The interment was
had at the Alvo cemetery.
Mrs. Lancaster has the sympathy
of her host of friends in this her

Andrews Hands
in Resignation as
U. 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. Grew,
under secretary of state had been ap-
pointed ambassador to Turkey was
made late today at the white house.
At the same time, it was announced
that Robert E. Olds, now an assistant
secretary of state, would succeed Mr.
Grew as under secretary.
Grew, as ambassador, will fill a
vacancy existing since Turkey and
the United States severed diplomatic
relations in 1917. He is expected to
sail for Contantinople in June.
Mr. Grew will take his post on
tho basis of an exchange of notes be
tween the two governments providing
for the resumption of diplomatic re
lations. The exchange was made nec
essary when the senate failed to rat
ify the Lausanne treaty which Mr.
Grew negotiated in behalf of this
country.

PUENELL BOSS OF COLONY
St. Joseph, Mich., May 20. The
first week of the state's suit designed
to throw the House of David colony
into receivership was concluded here
today -with a continuation of testi
mony regarding alleged improprieties
of Benjamin Purnell, leader of the
colony. The hearing will be resum
ed next Thursday morning.
The day's adjournment came soon
after defense counsel had completed
cross-examination of Mrs- Dolly
Smith Wheeler, a former member ofi" la believed this was the mechanism
tho ir.r.ir .hn tPKHfif,i na to tho:"ed to wreck his home. A sign on
the colony, who testified as to the
alleged improprieties of Purnell with
girl members of the colony. She told
in detail how the girls had been
ranked, those in the good graces of
Purnell housed in Shiloh, the cult
leader's headquarters and others, des
ignated as the "outer circle," In
"Jerusalem," another house.
Under cross-examination by II. T.
Dewhirst, Purnell's personal attor
ney, Mrs. Wheeler was asked:
"Didn't Benjamin say he would
ibo falsely accused, even by
those
about him?"
"Well, I guess he did," was her an-!
swer.
The witness said there was a small
house in the rear of Shiloh, which
she "understood was reached by a
tunnel," and that she had seen a trap
door in the Shiloh office.

State police checking over the
ruins of Kehoe's farm building late
today found a charred home-made
firing device manufactured from a
spark plug, a small can cf gasoline
and a coil. Several hundred feet of
wire were attached to the device and
a fence in the fear of the farm bore
the words:
"Criminals are made, and mot
born."
Kehoe, a mortgage on whose farm
recently was foreclosed, is believed
to have dynamited the school as re
venge for a controversy some time
ago with the school board over tax
es. Neighbors today said he had com
plained that taxes were so high he
could not meet the mortgage, end
that the board had refused his re
quest for reduction. A bitter quar
rel with the other members of the
board followed.
