AUT0|STS ESCAPE
IN BULLET SHOWER
Two Complain of Attack by
Policemen, Showing "Sots
GraZed Hats"

Two men narrowly escaped death
! in a miX-up with Policemen at TWcn-
ty-seventh and * streets about !
! o'clock this morning. They were Carl
f. GunneIl, 10$ Tenth street north
east, of the firm of Stabler & Gunnell,
automobile dealers at 425 X street,
and Harry Tanner, 125 Eleventh
street southeast, one of two other
| men who were in the car with them.
Fuller L. Arlington and Henry
Rinke, members of the third precinct
command, engaged in the investiga-
tion of violation of the dry enforce
ment law, arc mentioned in IL COM
plant made to Maj. Sullivan about
! the incident. The automobile, with
seven bullet holes, was shown police
officials.
| The first record of the incident was
contained in a tracer seat by the two
! policemen for L Lafayette machine
occupied by four or five men, it being
suspected that liquor was in the car.
1t was further stated that the driver
was wanted for attempting to run
over a policeman and for using Il
! smoke screen.
| Seven Shots Fired.
Policeman Rinke admitted to In
Spector Charles A Evans, conducting
| the investigation, that he fired six
| shots, and occupants OF the car stated
/ that one bullet had passed through
| both the body and top of the car. Ar
| rinSton fired one shot.
Arlington and Rinke alege they
! were near Twenty-seventh and Il
streets, awaiting the appearance of
| persons who were reported to have
| arranged q liquor delivery, and Rinke
alleges that the driver of the sus-
! pected car tried to drive over him
I and that he took a revolver from 4
| pocket of the car before he (Rinke)
| started firing. 1t is the contention of
the two policemen that the car was
driven away at a rate of speed in
excess of SO miles an hour. but oc-
cupants of the car say the police
virtually gave up interest in the af
fair when they seemed to realize thev
were mistaken and drove leisurely
! away.
Others TO be Heard.
! Maj. Sullivan directed Inspector
| Evans to make a careful investiga ton
of the affair. Preliminary statements
| of the affair were made at headquar-
! ters today by the two policemen, and
/ it is the intention of police officials
! to hear statements of other witnesses
before determining what action will
! be taken. Gunnell and others in the
car deny there was any liquor in it
or that it was equipped for laying
smoke screens.
The car, they stated. was driven to-
ward Georgetown for the purpose of
q dem monStrating it to man from Nir-
ginia who wanted to make Il pur-
chase. He had been shown another
car yesterday, police were told, but
was not satisfied with it, and it was
because Of his suggestion that he
thought a Lafayette car would suit
him that the latter car was taken
there this morning. The hats of Tan
ner and Gunnell bear marks appa-
rently made by bullets.

THE open alliance" the statement

throw the election into Congress and
thus deprive the voters OF their right

THE program of the third party

ship of railroads has aroused the peo-
pie to the gravity of this election
and the Importance particularly of
their individual votes.
The nation wide confidence in
Calvin Coolidge and the resultant de-
termination to vote for him continues
to be one OF the most impressive fea-
lures of this campaign. We have
profited by the character of the issues
which our opponents have introduced
and the campaigning methods which
they have employed.
Our opponents are apparently not
altogether happy over the situation.
We are already experiencing their
backf1res. and I anticipate that the
next two weeks will find the air
thick with charges, accusations and
Representations aimed to divert
