SENATE GROUP
To REPORT. 8
r DRY BILLS
Jones Law Penalties Reduced;
Waivers of JurieS Allowed
And Petty oftense Defined

Three recommendations for
changes in dry laws put forward
by President Hoover's law enforce.
ment commission were slated for
approval by the Senate judiciary
Committee today as Congress de-
bated the question of continuing
the life Of the commission itself.
The measures. already passed
by the House, would reduce
penalties under the Jones Five
and ten" law for minor violatorS.
allow waiver of jury trials, and
define petty offenses under the
law.
$500 Or s Months Limit
The penalty reduction measure
would allow a maximum $500
fine, or six months Imprisonment,
or both, for sale by a person
mot habitually engaged in viola
ton of the law" Of not more
than q gallon Of liquor; for the
unlawful manufacture of a similar
amount by a similar violator, or
for the. unlawful sale or trans.
portation under the same circum-
stances.
Petty offenses would be de.
fined under another Of the meas
ureS, as all those, the penalty for
which does not exceed confine-
ment in a common jail without
hard labor for a period of six
months or imprisonment for six
months or both. Such offenses,
under the bill, could be prosecu-
ted upon information or COM
plant. --s
The last of the provisions would
authorize the waving of jury trial
in all criminal prosecutions within
the Jurisdiction of United States
district courts when the accused,
in open court, demanded such pro-
cedure under such regulations as
the court might prescribe.
New Prohibition Rule
Makes Good Start
Uncle Sans newest plan for
drying up the United States got
away to a flying start when the
Government opened for business
at 8 a. m today.
The Prohibition Bureau began
to function under the direction of
Attorney General Mitchell. in
stead Of Secretary Mellon. though
the latter retained the industrial
| alcohol bureau. the Coast Guard
and the Customs Service, the lat
ter two being charged with the
prevention of smuggling.
Col. Amos w. w. Woodcock,
until yesterday United States At
torney at Baltimore, the new di-
rector of prohibition, had nothing
to say definitely about his plans
other than the convention al state
ment that he intended to en-
force the law"
All officials seemed to believe
the new arrangement will bring
about an improvement because
the district deputy Of administra'
tors will be in close touch with
the United States attorneys, the
offices of the latter having a big
voice in enforcement activities.

SMOKING BY WOMEN
 F PER CENT TOTAL

How many cigarettes do women smoke? A recent survey by the Moody's Investors Survey estimat- ed the smoking by women at 12 per cent of the country's total production, or 14,000,000,000 cig- arettes year There are no ac- curate figures although it is known that the introduction of modern methods of manufact- nre for the removal of harmful irritants found in cigarettes made in the old d-fashioned way. and the increasing use of cigarettes as m aid to avoid ver-indulgence, have resulted in tremendous in creases in the use of cigarettes by women

PARIS, May SAN alarming
series of crimes, including murder
and kidnapping, has forced the high
secret police Of France 70 conduct
an intensive check Of foreign poll
teal refugees in ar effort to weed
out the violent elements.
The generous French spirit Of
hospitality has been offended, po-
lice say, by the quarrels Of foreign
political agitators who have used
this haven Of security as q field
for developing their plots. Not
only are the police and courts call
ed upon TO deal with the troubles
Of the refugees among themselves.
but their revolutionary activities
are likely, and sometimes Ndo,
cause strained relations with 9TH
er governments.
The check Of foreigners Is being
conducted by Jean Chiappe, force
full project of police Of Paris. who
Is acting under orders Of Andre
Tardieu, Minister of ths Interior as
well as Premier. Marsef1les and the
Riviera are being given particular
scrutiny.
Against Agitators
France long has been an asylum
for the politically prosecuted. and
her policy will not be altered with
respect TO those refugees who con-
fine their activities within the
limits of French laws, but rigorous
measures are TO be taken against
agitators who abuse this hospital
ity.
Although italians probably have
been the first offenders, with con-
flicts between Fascist and anti
Fascist sympathizers, the mysteri-
Gus disappearance in the heart Of
Paris Of General Koutepoff. White
Russian military leader, has arous-
ed widespread public indignation.
The theory that he was kidnapped
by Soviet secret police is now gen.
orally accepted and as a result OF
the outrage a section OF the press
Is demanding the breaking OF dip
lomatic relations with Soviet Rus
STA
IL - eSLlIlaLcd LQd IueIC Gle
nearly 100000 political refugees
now In France. BY far the largest
colony Of political exiles is the
Russian, with something over TO-
coo IN Paris alone. Many OF them
are former soldiers in White Rus
sian armies, but all social ranks
Of the old regime are represented.
Maintain Military Groups
Although they are divided In
several factions OF various politi-
cal leanings, they are at least
united In their hatred Of the Boil
sheviks. They maintain their mill
tary groups and spread their prop
uganda with their OWL newspapers.
Communists resident in France, OF
whom there are many working in
official capacities, try TO combat
this influence with their own prop
uganda. Both sides : known to
be active with intelligence agents
