DALLAS, Texas, May "a. p.
Minchew, Dallas and Denver oil op-
orator, today was acquitted OF a
charge of conspiracy to MAIN his
former wife, Mrs. Stanley G. Smith
of Denver. The expense of bringing
numerous necessary Denver witnesses
here also makes it unlikely that
Minchew's prosecution on three re-
naming indictments charging con-
spiracy to MAIN and kill, will be
held, District Attorney Shelby S Cox
said tonight.
Minchew was freed after the jury
had deliberated 80 minutes.

night was in Jail awaiting an early

set by an aerial bomb, Loren Nit

half a mile through the air at sunset

While 5000 feet above the city he

bombs in each hand, and when about
$500 feet up started tossing the
bombs, timed to explode a few yards
from the dropping figure. One of
the bombs, however, exploded too
closely to Mitchell and his sweater
caught fire. He dropped all his
bombs at once and they exploded

BERENCER BACK
IN PARIS FROM A
TRIP TO THE u. S.
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)

PARIS, May 29.-Harry Berenger'
ambassador to the United States, re
turned from Washington today, Won
dering whether the interest in his
home coming, which was really an
extraordinary manifestation, was due
more to unpopularity arising from
the fact that he committed the French
to increased financial obligations or
that he had finally succeeded IN
reaching an agreement with the
American government on the war
debt.
The ambassador modestly attributed
the unusual interest in the return
of an ambassador to dissatisfaction
with what he had done in Washing
ton. Yet, even before he had got
his land legs, leading business men
of Havre, joining with the municipal
authorities, this morning gave him
honors and reception such as is
seldom accorded in that city of dis
tinctIy foreign traders.
Immediately after his arrival in

Styles in collars are slowly
changing, say local designers of
mems wearing apparel, Several
years ago the style was short points
and low bands but later the pendu-
-,--s- swung back and the long points
and medium height bands of the
present time resulted. Slowly, the
style trend is back-tracking to the
low bands and short points, mer-
chants say.
As reaction against the color
wave, men now are Selecting plain
shades of socks and conservative
horizontal striped foot wear. The
new blonde" shoes had & hand in
the change since the loud patterns
did not go with the soft shaded
footwear. Men are now buying tan,
blue and black to match their shoes.
Shirts also are reacting against
loud colors and most of the advance
showings of shirts bring to light
shirts with lighter background.
White with wide cross stripes is one
popular combination.
Felt Hats Popular i
T Hot summer weather has popular
lied the light weight felt hats with
bands of two horizontal stripes Of
two colors. The shades blend with
each other. Straws have the two
color bands also.
Several new ideas in cravats have
been received this week. The old
fashioned Paisley shawl design has
been reincarnated in a tie of that
shade made in foulard silk.
A light weight silk cravats is
shown with two designs, usually a
polka dot at the top and checks or
stripes at the ends. The solid blue
and mauve pastel shades are gain
ing popularity among the best
dressers," merchants say.
