MAYORS RENEW
ROW IN PARIS
Hinted Honor for Oregon
Man BreWS Storm.

BIZ United Press
PARIS, May 29.-Another storm
was arising amidst America S
junketing mayors today because it
had been learned that it is the GUS
tom of the French government to
reward the leader of such a group
with a knighthood of the Legion OF
Honor.
Mayor George Baker of Portland
would be the one man IN the group
eligible for such distinction, and he
was pushed out of Craftsmanship of
the mayors party, in favor of COM
mittee rule, because it was thought
he was getting too much spotlight.
If France were to give him the
Legion's red ribbon there would be
a second outbreak.
The mayors feel that their group
is made up entirely of generals, with
no privates, and they indicated that
either all must receive knighthoodS
or Baker must refuse.

REGARD

Lafayette Jackson, prominent
merchant, was killed ruthlessly
at his Office desk.
Mayor Sullivan laments that
the city can offer no reward
to spur the hunt for these
killers.
The Times believes that the
hour has come to make this
city safe from the lawlessness
that has come to other centers.
1t believes that the punish
ment of the murderers of
Lafayette Jackson will do much
in this direction.
Therefore, The Times offers
a reward of $500 for any in
formation which will lead to
the arrest and conviction of
these killers.
This offer. printed in the
noon edition of The Times,
brought immediate response.
A public-spirited citizen, in
no way connected with the
Jackson family, telephoned to
the editor of The Times:
"Will you please raise that
reward to $1,000, and permit
me to match your reward?
The murderers Of Lafayette
Jackson, my friend, must be
caught. I offer this on con-
dition that my name not be
used, and in the belief that
this factor may help in trac-
ing the killers"
The reward now is $1,000.

LIE HAVRE, France, May 2e.-
Texas Guinan, her white horse and
her troupe of show girls were
barred from France today when
they arrived on the liner Paris.
The minister of interior and labor
definitely decided to refuse permis-
sion for Miss Texas Guinan and her
troupe of show girls to land in
France.
Previously there had been an in
dication that the group might not
suffer the fate of being barred when
the ministry of interior explained
Miss Guinan had been prevented
temporarily from landing pending
examination Of reports of happen
1ngs during the crossing"
AS the French detectives left the
ship, Miss Guinan screamed at
them from the top deck:
Hey, suckers, I've been thrown
out of better places than this"
O6LACu III E0S1duu, 100
Miss Guinan, who sailed from
New York to show English and
French suckers" how a night club
should be run, is unwelcome in
England, but counted on the hos
pitality of the French.
Instead, she was met by a group
of detectives when the Paris ar
rived today and the ensuing con-
versation conducted in French and
heated English, was colorful and
riotous.
The gist of it seemed to be that
Miss Guinan had a signed labor
agreement with a Paris night club
and therefore was ineligible to land
under the French employment laws,
which are particular about for
eigners depriving natives of their
livelihood.
Must Go Back on Liner
To a United Press correspondent
she exclaimed:
rs this the land Jack Pershing
and two million Americans helped
to liberate? There's no more liberty
here than in Russia! understand
now why the French shipped the
Statue of Liberty to New York
they didn't need her any more!
And what am I going to do with
these girls, all expecting to see
PARISH"
Because police insisted that each
girl would have to be locked in her
hotel room until the next sailing,
Miss Guinan refused an offer that
she and the girls might land tenn
porarily.
The Guinan group must return
to New York on the Paris, sailing

foreigners"
