YELLOWLEY WARNS /.
AGENT IN SHOOTING.
Suspends Man Who Fired to
Prevent Prisoner From
Escaping After Arrest.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January elise of
firearms by prohibition agent merely
to prevent the escape of prisoner
will not be tolerated, +. G. Yellowley,
prohibition director, stated today in
suspending Jacob Mas. Mas last
night shot Frank Davis, 81, through
the shoulder. In falling. Davis frac-
tured his jaw.
Davis had been caught with marked
money after he sold Mas and Robert
Mcknight, another agent, two bottles
of what purported to be Scotch
whisky.
Thought Life Endangered.
"If an agents life is in danger
that Is another matter" said Mr.
Yellowley. But that is the only ex-
cuse which will be accepted in this
office
Mas maintained that he thought
his life was in jeopardy when he
fired, and that the bullet which struck
Davis was fired downward to brighten
the prisoner, but it glanced from the
sidewalk. Mas said that Davis ran
toward him with his hand in his
pocket. Davis was struck in the
Dack.
Patrick Roche, special intelligence
agent of the Internal Revenue Bureau,
was assigned to investigate Davis
alleged criminal activities. Yellowley
was informed that Davis was known
to the police as dope" peddler.
Refused to Halt"
According to Agent Mcknight,
Mas made an engagement to meet
Davis and receive the liquor. The
agents received the liquor and in
formed Davis he was under arrest.
Davis got permission to go inside
for his coat and hat, according to Nc
Naught, returned to the sidewalk and
assured the officers that they need
not call a patrol wagon.
Suddenly, said Mcknight, Davis
ran. He refused to heed an order to
halt, and Mas fired.

RADIO COMPROMISE
IS BELIEVED NEAR.
Conferees Tentatively Agree
to Give Secretary Power
! After Board Serves Year.

After weeks OF deliberation Senate
and House conferees last night reach
ed a tentative agreement on radio
legislation under which control of
brcadcasting licenses would be vested
in an independent commission for one
year, after which jurisdiction would
pass TO the Secretary of Commerce,
with the commission thereafter pass
ing on controversies referred to it by
the Secretary.
This arrangement is a compromise
between the House bill, which placed
the radio problem under the Com
merce Secretary, and the Senate
measure, which would have placed it
entirely in the hands of a separate
commission.
Although the conferees have not
signed a formal agreement, spokes-
men for them outlined this tentative
settlement following yesterdays meet
ing. and expressed the hope that it
would be definitely accepted. The
conferees will meet again Wednesday.
Five Members on Commission.
Under the tentative agreement the
commission would be composed of
five members, appointed by the Presi-
dent, subject to confirmation by the
Senate, for terms of six years, one
from each of the five zones created
by the legislation.
The commission would be given
original jurisdiction over the grant
ing, renewal and revocation of ALL sta
ton licenses and the making of all
regulations for a period of one year.
Thereafter the commission WOULD de-
eide only controversial matters trans
ferred to it by the Secretary of Com
merce and cases referred to it by the
Secretary and all appeals from deci-
sions. It's decision would be final,
subject to court appeals.
The Secretary of Commerce would
be given all administrative functions
and full control over operators and
the issuance of their licenses. The
Secretary would have original juris-
dicton after one year over granting
and renewing of station licenses con-
corning which there is no contro-

the commission would receive $4,000

IT, as now seems apparent, the con-
ferees report an agreement to the
Senate and House within few days
the chances viii be bright for final
enactment of the legislation at this
session.
Because of the rapid growth of ra-
do broadcasting in the past few
years, the pending legislation has
been looked upon as one of the i'm
portant questions awaiting the atten-
ton of the present short session. For
the past two weeks Representative
White, author of the House bill, and
Senator Did, sponsor for the Senate
measure, have been busily engaged
in trying to iron out the differences
between the two. Bills. The tentative
agreement. IL finally approved by the
conferees this week, will have to be

PARIS, May 27.--Short trousers,
except for sport, will never be popu.
lar for men, says NJ. Andre de Fou.
quieres. recognized as the Fashion
Dictator" of France.
Several Paris newspapers have
recently launched a campaign, in
conjunction with fashionable tailors,
in favor of short trousers for men.
| Two well known tailors have issued
fashion plates of the new style"
which have been widely published
in France.

brother Of Pierre de Fouquieres,

Economic Reasons
II associate myself with fashions
for men for two reasons" declares
NJ. de Fouquieres, firstly because
/ think that a man in company
with a well-dressed woman should
himself dress in keeping with his
campanion. In 1895, during the
Restoration. men were as particular
about their dress as were the
women. We've grown out of this
since but don't see why we should
My second reason is an economic
one. If you can convince a man
that he should take pains with his
dress it will boom many industries

cloth weaving, hat making and
many Others"
elegance in dress. Comfort and
elegance cannot go together, he
claims.
Il believe in evolution In mems
styles-not revolution" he said
smilingly. "If short trousers were
to come in 1t would have to be
slowly. Most men like comfort and
comfort has nothing to do with ele-
gance.
You Americans wear golf trou.
sers a great deal-but naturally
that Is in the morning and during
the golf-you wouldn't think of 60
ing out to dinner in golf clothes
You might wish you could because
you would doubtless be much more
comfortable than in a dinner coat
but elegance DEGREES the dinner
coat and bit of discomfort.
Wants Elegant Trousers
II am not an enemy of short
trousers" assures the fashion ex-
pert. especially for eve ing wear.
but they must be elegant I mean
by that-made of special material
such as satin or velvet and of
course the best silk stockings and
patent leather pumps should go
with them.
M. de Fouquieres believes that
anything can be done in the chang
ing of clothes provided that 1t is
done gradually.
so l say" concludes the French
Beau Brummel, latter all trousers
may become shorter as did collars,
but in all this you haven't thought
of certain men who would not wear
short trousers for the same reason
that certain women have never
taken to the latest style Of short

KANSAS To SELL
CIGARETTES
By international News Service

Nv international news service
TOPEKA, Kan, May 27.--Kansas
Is preparing for legal traffic in ciga.
rettes on June /. For 90 years the
flag" has been under the ban but
last winters legislature legalized
the sale of the former ''bootlegged"
article by taxing them two cents a
package.
Fifty million stamps are being
rushed to the larger cities and
towns for distribution and this
supply is expected to take care of
the sales tax until the legislature
meets again.
Although it will be legal to sell
cigarettes anywhere in the state
after June and dealers will be
licensed, the new law makes it
illegal to advertise them. This fea.
ture, in the opinion of many law
yers, is unconstitutional and it is
expected test case will be taken
to the courts within a very short
time.
Enactment of the new law took
place without a great deal of op.
position from the various s'anti''
Organiza tons. AS soon as it was
announced by w. ]. French. state
auditor, that the official state bird
OF Kansas the meadow lark -
would be pictured on the cigarette
stamps, a rush of protests were
made. French, however, refused
to change the design.

women to allow men to fit their cor

Men have no business selling cor

rods, oil stock, grass seed, Ford cars
and canary birds are fit and proper
for the men to handle. but when it
