MANLEADS POLICE
IN STREET CHASE
Downtown Crowds See Race
After Alleged SteaIer
of Vest.

Downtown crowds today viewed a
police chase of man alleged to have
stolen a vest, and late reports indi-
Gated that Mercury, god of speed,
would have to look to his laurels.
1t was shortly before noon when
the hue and cry was raised. The fig
ure of colored man darted from the
Eighth street door of Lansburgh s
department store and headed like a
streak Of CREASED lightning south
ward toward ID street.
After him ran. policeman, J. r.

stop him, Stop him." went mp
the cry.
Crowds Open Pathway.
And the crowds in front OF him.
seemingly gone suddenly deaf opened
up wide pathway for the fugitive.
He streaked through lanes like a
triple-quick .one-man parade.
He turned to the left on d street
and there made his big mistake. For,
sauntering down toward Seventh
street from Police Court came the
stolen clothing squad from headquar-
ters-Cox, King and Murphy. All but
Murphy had bundles of clothing under
their arms (The clothing squad had
had their day in court)
Murphy canght a panoramic glimpse
of the activities. He noticed the man
wheeling south again on Seventh from
ID street and he didn't hesitate.
While crowds were still opening a
clear lane for the escaping fugitive he
began lifting his heels and straining
leg muscles.
Then came a shot.
Bang"
Murphy turned his head over his
shoulder.
Don't shoot" he yelled. And he
put on more speed.
Bullet Speeds Pace.
The sound of that bullet discharge
increased Murphy's speed. But it also
increased the speed of the man he
was chasing About half as quickly
as it takes to read all this, the two
had sped south to Pennsylvania ave
nue. and the fugitive had dived across
the street car tracks under the very
whiskers of an approaching street
car while the motorman jammed on
brakes.
At the south side of the intersection
the chase ended. Murphy took a fly
ing Q1Ve at the man ana lne laCCer
ended on the bottom. A crowd formed
a little ring around the detective and
the prisoner.
At the first precinct the prisoner
gave his name as John Smith of 3t2
Maine avenue southwest, He was
charged with petit larceny.
Capt. Flather, after investigate
discovered that Policeman LIE Foe
fired the shot in the air during the
chase.

JUDGE RULES ADVERSELY
 BUT ALSO GIVES ADVICE
Finds That Alcohol Distributing Company Ought to Have
 Some Legal Redress.

Hartford, Dec. 8 UP - Judge Thomas in the federal court this afternoon dismissed the petition for ruling to show cause why Su- perintendent Robert T. Hurley oi the state police should not be en- joined from seizing denatured alco- hol of the Connecticut Alcohol Distributors, Inc, Of New Haven while the alcohol Is being trans ported fin this state.
 The hearing today was assigned by Judge Thomas on the petition Of the Connecticut distributors be- cause thirty-hve barrels of dena tured alcohol on trucks were seized in Newtown last Wednesday by the state police while the liquor was being transported on trucks from the Solvents Recovery, Inc, in panbury the only denaturing plant in the state.
 Both the Solvents Recovery and the Connecticut Distributors are bonded by the government, but the drivers of the Florido company's E trucks of New Haven did not have the permits required by the state law and they were arrested and are held for trial In Newtown Sat urday.
 Assistant United States District Attorney John A. Danaher appear ed before Judge Thomas today and moved that the petition which had been prepared by Attorney John H. Chapnick of New Haven for the Connecticut Distributors, Inc, con. signees, be dismissed as the Con necticut Distributors Is not a proper party to ask for an injunc- ton. After an argument between the lawyers Judge Thomas said the regulations are in effect that the one who does the denaturing must make the delivery 10 the bonded warehouse or manufacturer, anG he was legally bound to grant the motion to dismiss. However. the judge said the Connecticut Distri. butors were entitled to some relief and If they did not get it Saturday in the town court at Newtown he told Mir ChapniCk to appear agair before the federal court in Hart ford Monday morning.

CHINATOWN WILL
 RE REBUILT NOW
Los Angeles District Being
 Changed

Los Angeles, Dec 3 tPl-Los Angeles Chinatown and celebrated Plaza, each rich in eolorful history of the early days, are facing destruc- ton as the hand of progress moves onward.
 The two are within the for.y blocks where s50,oo0,ooo will be spent on a civic center and union railroad terminal, the plans for which call for demolition Of virtual y all buildings now standing and re- constructed so as to conform in architectural design
 Ii was on the Plaza that the Mexican governor. Felipe De Neve, founded "El Pueblo De Neustra senora De Reyno Le Los Angeles" September 4, 17s1 It was the scene of the marriage of Pic Pico, Call fornias famous Mexican governor,
 Here 1t was that the official docu- ment was read making Los Angeles, Instead of Monterey the capital of the state. In 1s49 a. road-weary courier shouted from the Plaza that gold had been discovered in North ern California, Two days later, the dusty throat of Cahuenga Pass was choked with wealth seekers and only twelve persons were left here.
 Life about the Plaza has not al ways been happy. Eighteen Chinese were hanged here in 1871 during & race uprising.
 Chinatown, adjoining the Plaza. contains Ferguson's Alley, Alablasa and Marchessault streets, where young Chinese trade with tourists and old men sit silently puffing at long -stemmed pipes.
 Ten years will be required 10 com plete the reconstruction program, but already demands are being made 10 save the plaza. It appears certain, however, that the old tunnels and underground chambers. to which the Chinese settlers fled at any sus- picion of recurrence of the massacre of 1871. must surrender 10 steam shovels the secrets they have hoard ed for decades.
