hates one fat policeman on the

1t was Policeman vaughn's weight
that caused the undoing Of Lewis
and cost MIN sfso yesterday.
Lewis, in his auto. speeded down
Pennsylvania avenue Monday after
noon at a thirty-mile clip when
Policeman Vaughan of the Fourth
precinct, who rides a motorcycle,
gave chase. Lewis heard the omi-
nous put-put of the motorcycle and
began TO hit Ter up. He began do
ing hs.y miles, but he couldn't
shake the fat avenger
A cute idea hit Lewis, so ne
pointed his auto toward some nice
cobblestone streets which have been
the Waterloo of many a valiant
motorcycle cop. But they didn'y
halt Vaughn a bit. He was so heavy
that he held that motorcycle down
and kept chasing Lewis until he
caught him on the river front IN
the Southeast. He chalked up near
ly every charge in the trafic code
against Lewis.

Another protest against the pro-
posed tax increase for the District
was raised last night when the
Park View Citizens Association,
meeting in Park View school,
adopted a resolution condemning
the plan of Congress to put the city
on a cash basis.
Business at the meeting was

Announcement was made that a
big Washington coal dealer had ex-
tended his free delivery zone to in
clude the entire area of the associ-
alton. Members were urged to take
concerted action against coal deal
ers who charge for hauling coal
and thus increase coal bills.
A proposal was made by James
w. MCGUIRE that the association
endeavor to have a bus line estab-
lished which would run from the
Upshur street entrance to Soldiers
Home, south on Warder street to
the reservoir, thence to the down
town district. touching the Pension
office, Union Station, the Capitol
and the Library.
Sixty new members were voted
into the association. A resolution
was adopted expressing apprecia-
tion to BAR. Robert w. Shufelt, a
naturalist. for his instructions to
the Park View school children.
