Over Attitude on

Haynes Accused of Purveying
Public Information for
His Own Gain in
Book.
By GEORGE F. At'THIER.
n ashlnftoa Correspondent The Omaha Bee.
Washington, June 28.—Prohibition
Commissioner Roy A. Haynes has
added zest to the summer slumber
which has overtaken Washington
with the Joint absence of the presi
dent and congress. It is all because
Commissioner Haynes has written a
book. Joining the literary chorus Is
not In itself remarkable in these days
of best sellers and of over zealous
censors, but In the manner of the
hook and its method of distribution
i hat has caused trouble.
Mr. Haynes has written a book
which undertakes to give sensational
disclosures concerning his office, in
formation which he has obtained offi
cially but which he has not disclosed
to the public. This information he
proposes to sell to the publio and for
his own profit.
When the information was first
given out that Mr. Haynes proposed
to scoop the newspapers and make
the public pay for the information to
which It might be regarded as en
titled through the medium of news
paper publication, it was believed the
oresident would not approve the
course.
Harding Writes Foreword.
To the consternation of everyone,
it was learned the president had
written a foreword, thereby giving
it even ipore than approval. It is
Intimated, however, that the presi
dent‘may not have known that Mr.
Haynes was taking a flyer In finance
on his own account when he wrote
the. introduction.
At any rate, the trouble reached a
breaking point when certain news
papers to which the Haynes book had
been offered for serial publication de
manded of him details concerning cer
tain sensational things mentioned in
his prospectus.
Among them was the alleged at
tempt to bribe the department by the
offer on the part of a brewing firm
for the permission to operate openly
in a certain city. Mr. Haynes re
, <ponded ho was helpless as the mat
ter was in the hands of his publish
ers. The same demand was made up
on Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
who admitted the sensational acts
had never been reported to him,
Mellon Passes Ruck.
Mr. Mellon was just leaving for Eu
rope so he turned the matter over
to a specially organized literary
board consisting of Commissioner of
Internal Revenue David I. Ulair and
Judge McKenzie Moss, assistant com
missioner. These men went into con
ference with Mr. Haynes but with
out result.
It has been intimated the presi
dent might t>e appealed to to prevent
the establishment of a precedent by
which literary government official?
might be tempted to deny govern
mental facts to the public in order
to pad theh- own private purse.
Such a precedent, it Is realized,
