POLICE DECLARE
AUTO KILLED MAN
Identify Dead Watchman as
Victim of Speeding Car.
Murder Theory Backed.

Identification by three members of
the ninth precinct police station of
George Edwin Loveless. fifty-six-
r-old watchman on a dredge near
the Benning bridge, as the man who
was knocked down Sunday night by a
speeding automobile resulted in the
release today of John Robertson, held
by the police for investigation since
the death of Loveless yesterday af-
ternoou.
Loveless died at his home. 1927
Brothers place southeast, maintain
Ing to the last that he had been at
tackled and beaten while returning
from work Sunday night by two men
who hit him with blunt instrument
Saw Auto Hit Man.
Chauffeur Worrell of the ninth pre-
cinct. however. said that he saw an
automobile hit Loveless. And Police~
man Perkins of the same precinct
identified the watchman as the man
whom he and Policeman Parker took
to the station house after the acci
dent and gave first aid treatment
Loveless. according to the police
who identified him, was picked up on
the Benning bridge and taken to the
ninth precinct. where a three-inch
cash in his head was dressed. and
released under the belief that his in
jureS were not serious. In the mean
time Chauffeur Worrell was cha asing
the speeding machine that struck the
man. but failed to overtake 1t.
Shortly after 2:30 O'Clock yester-
day morning Lovelcss arrived at the
home of his sister. Mrs. Lucius Bee
1401 X street southeast Mrs. Bee
called DR.. a. n Meloy. 1924 9th street
southeast, who treated him. DR. Me-
10y called a private ambulance and
Loyeless was taken to his home.
Believes In Murder Theory.
DIR. Meloy expressed the opinion
that the location of the injuries tend
ed to strongly substantiate and con-
firm the story Of LoveleSs.
This morning another angle en-
tered. Mrs. Bee. the sister of the
deceased, notified Capt. Stoll at the
ninth precinct that it was her firm
opinion that her brother had been
murdered by thugs-not struck by
an automobile.
DR.. Meloy expressed the belief that
an automobile travelling at an exces-
sive rate of speed could not cause sc
rev and such type of injuries as
those sustained by Loveless. namely
bruises on the legs and cuts on the
side of the head. and nothing else.
Inquest to BE Held.
An inquest is to be held this after.
noon. Robertson has been ordered tc
appear at the inquest
Despite all this, d city-w wide search
was started today for the automobile
which Chauffeur Worren says he saw

TWO LOCAL BILLS,
TO GO TO SENATE.
Commissioners Recommend
Auto Reciprocity and A.
ley Dwellings Measures.

Senator Ball, chairman of the Dis
trict committee. will introduce two
bills drafted by the District Commits
sioners and sent to him today. One
provides for tax on gasoline OF 2
cents a gallon. with a registration
fee of 81, which is designed to bring
about reciprocity in the matter OF
automobile licenses with Maryland.
A similar bill was introduced in the
House yesterday by Chairman Focht
of the District committee. The Mary
land authorities have announced that
if the tax is established in the Dis
trict they will agree to full reci-
procity in the matter of automobile
licenses.
The other bill would extend the
time in which the alley dwellings
may be occupied in the District. I'm
der existing law the alley -dwellers
are required to vacate by June l.
1923. The bill proposes TO extend this
time until November IA, 1924. In a
letter accompanying this bill. the
District Commissioners say: The clos
ing of alley houses at the time set
would work unmeasurable hardship"
Senator Ball also received from the
Commissioners a favorable report on
bill recently introduced providing
for the comprehensive development
of the park and Fairgrounds system
of the National Capital. The bill
calls for comprehensive park sys-
including parts of Maryland and Nir-
ginia. Tho Commissioners say they
are heartily in favor of the purposes
of the bill.

ANT|-SALOON LEAGUE
OPPOSES LONGWORTH

The Anti-Saloon League apparently
is taking a hand in the contest over
the selection Of republican House
leader in the next Congress. Several
republican representatives. to
the next House have received letters
from the Rev. DIR. Homer r. Pope,
president OF the Pennsyivania Anti
Saloon League, suggesting that Mich
olas l-ongworth in his service in the
Ohio Legislature and the national
House of Representatives has voted
against legislation which would in
terfere with the liquor traffic. 1t
was added that the drys OF Pennsyl.
vania would not want him elected to
the House leadership
Friends Of Mr.. Longworth, to whose
attention this letter was called, said
today that the answer to It is that
two of the most radical drys in Ohio,
Senator Willis and Senator-elect Fess,
were favorable to his candidacy for
the House leadership and that only
two members of the entire Ohio re-
publican delegation in Congress were
opposed to It.

For the purchase of a site near

site north of Webster street and
east of Georgia avenue. $4,000"
When these school items came up
for consideration Senator King Of
Utah, a member of the joint congress
sional committee on public schools
said that he regretted the committee
had not made its report. He said that
he believed a comprehensive school
building program should be adopted
for the District. costing perhaps six
or eight or ten millions of dollars to
be expended in the next few years
He said he feared that the buildings
now proposed might not be in accord
ance with the recommendation of the
joint committee.
Senator Ball pointed out that it
would be unwise to delay appropri-
atfons for school buildings now so
| much needed. when the joint commit
! tee has not yet made it's report, and
! there is no telling how soon it will
| make it. He said that he had urged
the joint committee to make a report
before the present appropriations bill
| was taken up.
Senator Phipps. in charge of the
District bill. pointed out that all the
buildings now proposed were "ex-
tensible." and could be made larger

calls for larger school buildings

BUS LINE OFFERED
|. TO WALTER REED
Capital Traction Assures
Service, if Desired, Until
Tracks Are Extended.

The Capital Traction Company to-
day made an offer to the Public Util-
! tiles Commission to establish motor
| bus service from the end of the 14th
street car line. west to 10th stree,
and trence north to Walter Reed Hos
pital
This proposition was advanced by
John II. Hanna, vice president of the
company. at a hearing called by the
| commission to consider an application
of 18th street citizens for an extern
sion OF bus service on that thorough
fare beyond Buchanan street. AT
present the Washington Rapid
Transit Company runs busses to 10th
and Buchanan streets
Mr.. Hanna made it clear, however
that the company would withdraw such
bus service as soon as 14th street is
extended northward and the existing
carline is extended.
Ready for Car Tracks.
The Capital Traction Company. he
said. stands ready to begin laying car
tracks northward as soon as Congress
enacts the legislation for the opening
of 18th street
But if the commission believes ad-
dltlonal service is needed Immediately, -
said the traction official, I'VE will fur
nlsh the bus service with the under
standing that 1t would be Withdrawn
when car tracks are laid"
MI Hanna also stated that his COM
pany Is considering running busses from
l4th and Kennedy streets into Rock
golf course
In this connection. William F. Ham,
president of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company, reminded the
commission that his system already
operates motor buses into the park on
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, and
mat is has also considered running these
ousses to the vicinity of the proposed
| golf links.
Asks Bus Extension.
John D. Rhodes and Z. r. Woodson
appeared in behalf of the Sixteenth
Street Highlands Citizens Association
to ask for bus service on 18th street
beyond Buchanan street Mr. Rhodes
said he was not particular about who
should operate the busses as long as
the service is furnished.
w. f. Holmes also appeared from
| the Sixteenth Street Heights Asso-
citation to ask for the bus line, citing
! reasons why better transportation ia
| cilities should be afforded the new
! residences west of Georgia avenue
and north of Buchanan street
William Nick. Clayton. representing
/ the Brightwood association, supported
| the bus line He said the failure OF
| the commission TO grant transfer privi-
| leges between the two car companies
at Georgia avenue and Kennedy street
| was an added reason for the bus service
! on 18th street.
! The commission took the matter un-
! der advisement.
