US. SENATOR
IS SHOT DOWN
: BY DRY AGENTS
Whole Situation Stirred as
Senator Green of Ver-
mont Is Wounded
CHARGES ARE FLYING
Imbi oglio Among Forces
Charged with Enforcing
Law COmplicates Situation

Washington, Feb. 16.-(By the A..
P)~Thes prohibition situation in
Washington, for months center of
criticism and controversy, has cul-
minated in the shooting down of
United States Senator almost within
the shadow of the capitol.
As result the whole muddle OF
conflicting opinions, charges, explain
ations, denials and counter-charges
that have characterized efforts to en-
=, force the prohibition laws here seems
likely to have thorough airing in
Congress.
Senator Frank l.. Green of Ver-
mont was shot in the head last night
as car containing prohibition
agents whirled out of an alley into
Pennsylvania avenue in pursuit OF
another automobile suspected of car
=. rying bootleggers.
Expected To Recover
After an X-Ray examination ply
sicians announced that the bullet
which hit Senator Green had not re-
maned in his head. The discovery
was regarded as extremely encourag-
ing and those in attendance said they
expected him to recover.
The incident was not the first in
which lives here have been endancer-
ed by pistol battles with bootleggers
Mad chases of that kind through the
center of the city have been numer-
\ Gus and there have been number
of accidents to bystanders.
Agents Disagree z,s-.
The whole question has been com
plcated by three-cornered row
Joined in by agents Of the prohibi-
ton unit, officers of the intellig-
ence division of the treasury depart
mcnt and the city police. Recently
police and prohibition officials en-
gagged in legal battle in which SER
ious charges were made against MEM
bers of both forces and several on
both sides were suspended.
Three deputy United States Mar
shals now are held under bond on
charges of conspiracy to violate the
\ prohibition laws. While all of this
las been in progress charges OF Ii
!uor buying by high officials and or
einary citizens alike have been on
he increase. Not long ago it was
nnounced that list of hundreds of
names of prominent bootleg custom
crs had been seized in police. raid
. but the superiurs of those who made
he raid shifted responsibility for
he list backward and forward until
he names themselves finally disap-
reared from public attention.
There have been repeated demands
in Congress for an investigation but
every move for public inquiry into
conditions has for one reason or an
other fallen short of the mark
Today it was apparent, however,
hat the shooting Of Senator Green
had deeply stirred those in official
positions. Many of his colleagues
i said they were ready to demand that
! something be done.

EXPECT S90,000 U. s. TAX
 FROM WORLD SERIES GAME
These Are Derived From Unofficial Estimates of the Attendance
 at Coming Games.

Washington, Oct. 1.-Uncle Sam will cut into the world series receipts for a share of at least $90,000, ac- cording to unofficial estomatcs ty basis of short or five game series. If More games are necessary to de- termine a winner Uncle Sans share will be larger.
 Grand stand seats for the series will pay tax of 50 cents each, box seats a tax of SO cents each and other seats 30 cents each Standing room customers will only have to give a dime to Uncle Sam for each game. The Polo Grounds in New York is claimed to have 50,000 seats and at least three games will be played there. The Washington park will have nearly 35,000 seats and at least two games will be played there.
 Assuming that each park viii be full for each game-and 1t probably will be sold out-the average tax per customer will be about 40 cents for each game. This would net the treasury sSS,O00; but much more is expected.

WORLD AIRPLANE
 RACES TOMORROW
New Marks Likely to Be Made
 at Dayton Airdrome
By The Associated Press.

Dayton, O., Oct. 1.-The worlds airplane speed record of 243.ss miles an hour, made by Lieutenant A. J. Williams, U. s. navy, in the Pulitzer races at St. Louis a year ago, Is ex- pected to be beaten by one of the three United States army aviators entered in this event at the interna- tional air races to be held here Oc- tober 2, 3 and 4.
 The navy will not take part in the races this year. This decision, made early last winter, conforms to a pol | icy whereby the army is responsible for the defense of the Pulitzer tro- phy against International competi- tors, and the navy accepts similar responsibility with respect to the in- ternational seaplane races for the Schneider cup trophy.
 i There are no entrants for the Pulitzer race this year outside of the three United States army men. They will fly planes that went through the Pulitzer race at St. Louis last year. Two of the planes, recopditioned Curtiss army racers, will be flown by Lieutenant W. H. Brookley of Mo- Cook field and Captain Burt Skeel, of selfridge Field, Mich. Lieutenant Harry H. Mills, of Wilbur Wright field, will fly Verville- -Sperry mono plane
 Wright field, where the races will be held this year has $500 acres and grand stand mile long is being built for the spectators.
 In order that those who attend may hear as we'll as see, loud speak CTS will be installed at intervals of 800 feet along the grand stand and connected with the judges and tim CTS stand at the start and finish of the 200 kilometer triangular course.
 The army entrants have stated they expect to eclipse Lieutenant Williams record by at least 20 miles an hour. They are figuring on 6 speed of between 260 and 270 miles an hour.
 Lieutenant Alexander Pearson of McCook field, who was killed recent ly while he was flying the plane on which Lieutenant Williams made his record at St. Louis had touched a speed of 266 miles an hour. Pear son was making practice flight and the wings of his plane collapsed while he was banking for a turn.
 The Pulitzer trophy was first con- peted for in 1920. It has been won twice by the United States army air service, once by the United States navy air service, and once by 6 civilian flyer. In 1920 15s miles an hour and in the intervening four years the speed has increased nearly 100 miles an hour.
