AUTO WRECKS FENCE
AT WHITE HOUSE
Crashes Into Lower West Gate,
Bending Bars and Moving Pillar,
Then Speeds Or.

A large automobile, travelling at
high rate of speed, last night crashed
into the iron fence of the White
House grounds at a point few feet
from the lower west gate. bending
several of the large bars of the fence
and knocking one of the heavy
granite pillars from it's position.
There was no evidence about the
scene of any one being injured.
Private Price of the White House
police was standing near the rear
portico Of the White House at the
| time of the accident and heard the
noise caused by the crash. He hurried
| to the scene, a distance of less than
| 500 yards, only to find upon his ar
| rival that the car and its occupants
! had disappeared. Strewn about the
ground was considerable broken
| glass. Persons viewing the scene of
the collision today found 1t difficult
| to believe that any machine. despite
it's size, could have survived the force
of such a contact and that any per-
son in the car at the time could have
| escaped injury either from the col
| lision or from the flying glass.
| The theory advanced by the White
| House. police is that the driver of the
car was speeding east on New York
| avenue and as he rushed past the
rear of the State. War and Navy
building did not see the turn in time
| to make 1t and continued on into the
fence.

JUSTICE TO DISTRICT

Former Floor Leader in Pre-
pared Statement.

Charging that Frank w. Mondell,

denied justice" to the District of
Columbia. and censuring him for sug
gesting to the people that they dis
regard and disobey" the alley-closing
law, Representative Thomas L. Blan-
ton, d member of the House District
committee, has issued a vigorous at
tack on Mr.. Mondell. He said. in part:
ITO the informed. Mr.. Mondell's late
effusions are highly amusing. For
Is years he helped to pass laws for
all others to obey. but as soon as he
becomes an ordinary citizen again
his first suggestion to people of the
District is that they disregard and
disobey the alley-closing law, which
he helped to pass, and that they con-
tinue the alley dives during nine
months recess of Congress.
During the thirty days preceding
March Mr.. Mondell had the chance
to do justice to the District, but il
was he who denied it justice. Had
he given District legislation half the
time he devoted to wasteful junket-
ing resolutions, the teachers salary
bill and other urgent measures could
have been passed"
