Rum Car Escapes After Re-.
leasing Cloud, Causing
Temporary Blindness.

A smoke screen containing gas
that caused temporary blindness and
severe nausea was employed by boot
leggers to escape capture when their
automobile was being overtaken by
Motor Cycle Policeman G. c. Deyoe
of the tenth precinct.
Deyoe spied the car in the neigh
borhood of 18th and Buchanan streets
about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Upon noticing that its occupants were
moving about suspiciously he started
to draw up close when the chauffeur
saw him. In an instant the machine
sped away. but the officer opened
the throttle of his motor cycle wide.
He was rapidly overtakng the
supposed bootleggers, he reported
when a great cloud of heavy smoke
was suddenly emitted from the ex-
hauSt pipe. completely enveloping
him. Before Deyoe could turn out of
the smoke screen his eyes began to
burn severely and severe nausea
gripped him. He barely had time to
stop before complete but temporary
blindness overlook him.
Deyoe recovered in a few minutes
but the bootleggers were then out of
sight. According to the policeman's
story the smoke screen was laid
down SO soon after the chase started
that he did not even have time to
obtain the number of the fleeing
automobile Their escape, apparent
ly, was complete.
