Arthur Woods '92 will probably succeed Roy A. Haynes as national prohibition commissioner if the latest reports from Washington are founded on definite information.
Mr. Woods, who is the brother of Professor J. H. Woods, of the Department of Philosophy, has led a very distinguished career since his graduation from the University over 30 years ago. He became deputy police commissioner of New York City in 1907, and served as police commissioner from 1914 to 1918, establishing an enviable record.
His service overseas earned him the D. S. M., while France made him a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. After his return he was appointed an assistant to the Secretary of War.
His probable appointment does not come as a surprise, since President Coolidge knows him, and according to circles high up in the capital, considers that he would make a highly competent and efficient prohibition commissioner.
