MEMORANDA. 



In August last year the State Anti-7 

 Saloon League, angered by Commis- 1 

 sioncr Hayes' attitude toward the Fed- 

 eral prohibition agents who appeared 

 before his court, sought without suc- 

 cess to have him removed. At one time 

 prior to that the then enforcement 

 agent for this district, James P. Rob- 

 erts, had gone so far as to rise and 

 protest in the Federal Court against 

 Mr. Hayes' rulings. The commis- 

 sioner retorted that he intended to 

 have the laws enforced lawfully. An 

 appeal to Senator Lodge served only 

 further to strenghten the position tak- 

 en by the commissioner. He was 80 

 years of age. 



Mr. Hayes, who never married, is 

 survived by his sister, Miss Susan L. 

 Hayes, and the two had resided in the 

 same house at 396 Mt. Auburn street 

 for more than fifty years. 



Funeral services were held on 

 Thursday from his late residence, 

 conducted by Rev. Eugene Shippen of 

 Pirookline. Burial was in the family 

 lot at Mount Auburn cemetery.
