MEN FLEE CAR; POLICE
FIND CORN WHISKEY INIT

The hasty abandonment of an
automobile, which they were back
ing out of a garage in the rear
of 1922 First street northwest, by
two unidentified colored men, led
to the discovery Of sixty.five gallons
Of corn whiskey in the car and
thirtyfiVe gallons of alcohol in the
rear of the garage, according to
Policemen l.. Christensen and F.
w. Barr of Number Two precinct.
The suspicious of the policemen,
being aroused when they saw the
two leave the car, led to an in.
vestigation. A trap was located by
the hollow sound as they walked
over it, under which they found
the alcohol and complete apparatus
for making gin. The men are
thought to be known to police and
their arrest is expected today.

BEGIN
BRIDGE
PIERS
Arlington Memorial Work Is
Waiting Only on Report .
by Engineers

Construction Of the sixteen con-
crete piers for the Arlington Me-
mortal Bridge will begin before
many more months have passed.
Lieutenant Colonel c. 0. Sher-
rill, in charge Of public buildings
and parks, today announced that
bids will be advertised for early
in September. Virtually all Of the
preliminary work has been done.
The piers will be not only for
the bridge proper running between
Potomac Park and Columbia ISL
and, but for two boulevard ex-
tensions of the bridge.
Purposes Of Extensions.
One of the extensions will link
the main structure with Arlington
Cemetery and the other, running
between Columbia Island and the
mainland, some distance south Of
the bridge, will connect 1t with the
Lee Highway. Nine of the piers
will be for the main bridge.
Full details relating to the build
ing of the piers will not be avail
able until Lieutenant Colonel Sher-
rill has received a report from the
engineers giving the results OF their
work up to the present time.
This report, it is expected, will be
placed upon his desk within the
next few days.
The Federal Government has pur-
chased land on the Virginia shore
which will give ample space for the
construction Of the two branches
between Columbia Island and the
mainland.
These transactions have been
completed and in the near future
there will be consideration of the
artistic questions involved and the
Improvement of this land.
1t is not likely, however, that
there will be any radical modifica-
ton Of the plan already made pub
lie by the Arlington Memorial
Bridge Commission.

IS
ENDED BY
DECISION
Attorney Generals Decision
Is Lauded by
District

Director of Traffic M. O. Ed
ridge Is not subject to the juris-
diction Of the superintendent Of
police, but is responsible only to
the District Commissioners, ac-
cording to an opinion rendered
BY Attorney General Sargent.
This ruling frees the post Of
traffic director automatically from
control of the Civil Service Com
mission and sustains the conten-
ton Of the District Commissioners
that they have sole right to APP
point the director Of traffic, with
out regard to civil service regula
tons.
Settles Dispute
The opinion settles the dispute
between the District Commissioners
and the Civil Service COMMISSIONER
over appointment Of the director.
The Attorney General, in his opin-
ion, overruIes the finding Of the
legal department of the commission
that Eldridge and his assistants
must pass Civil Service examina
ton as members Of the police
department
The case was sent to the Attor.
ney General for legal ruling by
President Coolidge about two
months ago.
Today's ruling overcomes q situa
ton which threatened seriously
the free operation Of the traffic
bureau. in the opinion Of District
officials. It is held that a ruling
of the Attorney General making the
traffic bureau subject to the police
department would have practically
nuIIified the value of the new traf-
fic act.

LICE NSEE
To PAY
TAXES
Law Requires That Plates
Must Be Turned In to
End Responsibility

Drastic action to break up the
practice of using dead automobile
license tags IN the District is
threatened by the police depart
ment and the traffic bureau.
Owners of automobiles who Sc
cure license tags will be held
strictly accountable for use of the
tags until they expire or are sur
rendered to the license bureau for
destruction, it was announced.
Mere destruction of tags by the
owner upon sale of a car will not
: be sufficient to clear him of re-
sponsibility. it was stated.
WIN Tax For Car
As a means Of breaking up the
practice of withholding tags after
the car for which they were Sc
cured has been sold, the District
personal tax office will continue to
bin the owner of the car for taxes
on the vehicle as long as the tags
remain uncancelIed, even though
he may have sold the car and de
stroyed the tags. it was announced.
"Tbe law requires that when a
ear for which tags have been is.
sued is sold. the dead tags must
be returned to the license bureau
at the District Building" it was
stated by Wade H. Coombs, super
ntendent of licenses.
Gags must be turned in within
sorty-eieht hours after the car is
sold. They should be turned in Oy
he owner in person. 1t is not sut-
Hcient for the owner to destroy the
Tags and then to telephone or write
This office that he has destroyed
them. We will still hold his card
b the files showing that license
outstanding against his name and
be will be taxed for that car"
Receipt Not Necessary.
1t Is not necessary for tag own
srs to secure a receipt for the tags
when they are turned in for de-
ytruction, Mr.. Coombs said. When
he tags are turned in The owners
