slightly to the eye, but It was high and

chains and padlocks.

DIPLOMAT CHARGES
HE WAS FIRED upon
State Department Probing
Hold-up With Gun by Alleged
Revenue Men.

The State Department has been
asked to investigate the hold.up early
Thursday morning by four men
claiming to be revenue officers of an
automobile bringing ]. Alvarez de
Buenavists. attache Of the Peruvian
embassy from baltimore.
Three bullet holes In the automo-
bile OF the attache give evidence OF
the affair. One bullet passed through
the right fender. another through
the gasoline cap and the third
through the body of the car.
The attache went TO Baltimore
wednesday night to attend the musi-
ca,e Of the Philadelphia Orchestra in
which his sister, Madame Marguerite
de Alvarez. is soloist. After the
musicale they went to a late dinner.
Leaving Baltimore at 100 O'Clock.
Thursday morning, with his chauf-
feur, Frank Murray, OF wardman
Park Hotel, at the wheel the sttache
proceeded TO Washington without
mishap until they reached Hyatts-
Vile.
As the roadster reached Hyatts-
vile, two cars driving zig-zag across
the street ahead OF them impeded
their progress for time. Murray
sounded his horn and finally passed.
One OF the strange cars started
after the yellow roadster.
When three revolver shots were
fired, the Peruvian ordered the
driver to stop.
Four men from the touring car
leaped out and came up to them.
Each of the men flashed badges such
as those worn by revenue officers.
Ripping open the door on the rear
Of the roadster, the alleged revenue
officers found no liquor and then ex.
planned that they had made a mis-
take: that the roadster was not the
car they were on the lookout for.
The four men denied they had fired
the shots that took effect in the
roadster.
The matter was reported to Attor-
ney James w. Folk, counsel for the
Peruvian embassy. The State De-
partment and Internal Revenue Com
missioner have been asked to make
thorough investigation OF the af-
fair.
