MAN IN AUTO SHOT
FROM ANOTHER CAR
ON MARYLAND ROAD
CONTINUED from First Page. }

OF the two men in It fired into Green's
machine. Both cars came to q STOP
you've shot a man in our car" Green
cried.
One Of the men pulled back his coat
as IL TO show a badge and replied:
take the man into the hospital. We
win follow on behind"
On Largo Road.
This took place 12 miles from Wash
tnston on what Is known az the Largo
road.
Later inquiry at the Ninth precinct
developed from other members Of the
car occupied by Hartley that a man in
the automobile from which the shots
came had ordered the Green car to
stop the first time II passed, but that
this demand was not complied with.
Then followed a weaving in and out on
the road by the automobile, which
ended in the shooting.
This information was obtained at the
Ninth precinct after Green and the
three other occupants of his car had
gone there after taking Hartley to the
hospital. The three other occupants
were William e. Ball. 1915 Fourth street
southeast, Susan Jones Of 626 B street
southeast and Mrs. May Green, wife
Of the owner OF the car.
After hearing the account told by the
witnesses police and Constable Garr1-
son formulated the theory that the
shooting had been done by high jack
ing rum thieves on the road. After the
shooting, the supposed high jackers fol-
lowed GREEN'S automobile for a short
distanee and then turned down side
roda.

POLICE OPEN DRIVE
ON YULET|DE RUM
Expect BootIeggers to At
tempt to Flood City, and
Prepare Accordingly.

A vigorous effort will be made by
the Police Department to prevent
bootleg liquor from flowing into
Washington for the Christmas holiday
season. Maj. Sullivan announced last
night.
In this undertaking the police will
have the full backing OF Commission
er Oyster. who has concurred in the
superintendent's plan to break UP
Christmas rum running.
The police are always on the look
out for machines attempting to enter
the city with supplies OF liquor, but
from now until the holidays are over
| every man on the force will be in
structed to redouble his efforts along
this line" Maj. Sullivan declared last
night.
Police officials take 1t for granted
that traffic in liquor Is likely to in
| crease with the approach OF Christ,
mas, and the majors plan is TO fore
stall the bootleggers' business boom
| by early police action.
Hope for Success.
The department will do It's utmost
| to enforce the prohibition law during
the holidays" Commissioner Oyster
said. We have had this matter in
mind for several weeks, and are hope
/ full of success in our purpose.
There are 27 members of the Police
Department vested with the power OF
| prohibition agents, and these men
| will lead in the campaign in their re-
spective precincts. -
But Maj Sullivan made IT plain that
| the task of keeping Washington dry
during the Christmas season would
| not be left entirely to the prohibition
| squad.
Every man on the FORCE" he said.
will be directed TO keep on the aiert
| for m-runners, who no doub. will
| be spurred on by the prospects OF
heavy sales at this time OF year"
| Particular watch will be kept on
the highways leading into the Dis
| trict from surrounding States. Police
officials do not expect to prevent er-
tirely the smuggling in of liquor. but
they intend to make the job as din
cult as possible with the number o.
men available.

The futility of apprehending "traf-

facilities has been brought to the at

In instances where coroner's 5ur-
les render verdicts holding fugitive
death drivers" for the grand jury,
the fight penalty Is overshadowed by
the more serious probable charges of
manslaughter or assault, punishable
by jail sentences. But under present
laws. Corporation Counsel Hart de-
clares, the driver who deliberately
runs away after a collision without
knowing whether he has killed or in
jured his fellowmen and without
making his identity known cannot

WALKING LESSONS
TAKEN WILLINGLY
Pedestrians Change to Atti-
tude of Cooperation With
Traffic Officers.

Persistent effort on the part of
Policeman Joseph Junghens, who has
been conducting a traffic schoof for
pedestrians at Eleventh and F streets
during the past week, proved yes
terday that Washington's walking
public is quite willing TO obey traffic
rules If it is shown the necessity for
doing 1t.
Although Junghens' efforts during
the first two or three days only met
Indignant rebuffs from many pedes-
trians, observation of conditions at
his corner during the rush hour yes
terGiay showed that most of the
pedestrians were making honest ef-
forts TO follow his directions and
walk right"
Junghens was stationed at the cor
ner to handle pedestrian traffic simul-
taneously with the handling OF We
hicular traffic by the semaphore man
who works there regularly. The
policeman was especially instructed
to call the attention OF pedestrians
who failed to obey the semaphore to
the dangers they incurred by such neg
ligence.
First Indifference Passes.
The first day or two the officer
was literally brushed aside by the
hurrying shoppers and workers
Things were different yesterday.
Even the casual observer might have
wondered at the little knots of pc
destrians that stood patiently at
either curb, waiting for the sema-
phore man TO turn his signal and for
Junghens to lower his upraised arms
by way OF showing pedestrians the
red was against them"
1t was definite proof that Wash
ington's walking public takes
chances only because IT has never
been taught the lesson OF safety in
traffic SO long have the pedestrians
had to battle their own way through
the vehicular streets that they had
become accustomed to it, and 1t re-
quired only a day or two of eaching
to correct the evil to a large extent.
The school closed yesterday. But
It had served its purpose, for II
showed that the traffic evil so far as
1t concerns pedestrians might be
solved easily and quickly IL enough
policemen could be spared to estab-
lish such schools at all OF the
buster corners for a month or two.
Even If the officers were only on
duty during the rush hours, It would
help considerably.
Picture to Show Faults.
The need for these men will be
forcibly demonstrated to the public
tomorrow when f1ve of the city's
foremost motion picture theaters pre-
sent The Stars film, Our Traffic" In
that picture the public will see the
menace of the unregulated. unin-
structed pedestrian as we'll as the
danger OF the reckless motorist.
II will be run throughout the week
at every show at the Palace, Colum-
bia, Rialto and Metropolitan Theaters,
and today and tomorrow at the Tivoli.
Although the film takes only about
FIVE minutes to run. it is a vivid
story of the danger at every crossing
to the slow or negligent pedestrians,
and the obstinate refusal of motorists
to give the right Of way where they
should.

Before placing Francis Cunning

on probation yesterday, for three
years, on a charge of housebreak-
ing, Justice Siddons inquired of
the youth why he had not remained

while in jail"
Letters received by Probation.
Officer Steele gave the boy a good
reputation, and a former employer
in Bangor offered to take him
back, so the court placed him on
probation.
Cunningham explained that he
could not resist the temptation to
see the world, but that he became
stranded here and broke into the
store of Nick Cicata September 9.
