The old question as to whose duty
Il is to police the territory at the

the Emergency Hospital. where 1t was
found the former had broken leg and
the latter decorations on the head and
hand.
A force of employees was working on
the boundary stone marking the high
water mark between the District and
Virginia, which is the boundary line.
according to George E. Clark, surveyor
Of the public parks office. Jahns was
standing by a truck, according to Mr.
Clark. and Blackman was in the hole
digging around the stone, when the
automobile, driven by a colored man,
suddenly turned across the road ana
headed for the group of employees. 1t
came to stop in the hole, pinning
Blackman, and hit Jahns while rolling
toward the hole AS the men were
working On the boundary stone. Clark
pointed out that the accident occurred
in the District, but seven Metropolitan
policemen who were there. he said,
failed to take any action. Virginia po-
lice, it is claimed, said 1t was not in
their territory.
