Policemen, he said. should wear

to other autoists and to pedestrians

for them to be understood and

Hint For Pedestrians.
In order to minimize danger al
street crossings, Dodge suggested
that pedestrians cross twenty feet
from the cross street rather than
directly at the intersection. This

from cars making unexpected turns
One way traffic on parallel streets

secret Italian order. John ana

body and to aid the police in
clearing UP the mysterious death
Of the young boy.
The body of Rocco was found
late Wednesday night in a swamp
one mile outside OF Wilmington.
His head was literally chopped to
pieces and a bloody hatchet was
picked up nearby.
Wilmington police today were
running down q number of clues,
but they declared the staying would
be hard to solve. Detectives have
been assigned to the Italian quarter
and several men are under suspicion.
The police expect to get informa-
ton from the dead mans brother
which might aid In solving the
crime.
Black Hand Is Suspected.
The two brothers declared today.
Just before they boarded . train.
that they did not know why any
one should want to kill their
brother. They advanced the belief
that q black hand gang or soma
other secret order was responsible
for the boys murder.
Rocco had been. in this country
only about two years. coming here
from Castelluccio, Italy. where his
parents now reside. He came to
Washington and took employment
In q shoe shop near Eighteenth and
L streets northwest. Last April he
went to Wilmington. whore he
opened q shop Of his own.
