ELEVATOR CASE

Holding that the District Com.
missioners failed to live up to the
statutes and have not published in
the newspapers their order requiring
safety appliances on elevators and.
further. that the order, issued
on April 4, 1925, was discriminatory
in that Government-owned buildings
were exempted, Judge Gus A.
Schuldt, in police court today, dis
missed three charges against the
Wardman Construction Company,
Wardnan Park Hotel Company and
Thomas r. Bones, an officer Of the
companies.
The charges were failure TO make
certain installations and changes
after having been notified by the
inspector of buildings to do so; that
the defendants maintained and
operated certain elevators in an uns
safe and improper condition, and
that they operated the elevators
without first having obtained a
certificate showing that the eleva-
tors were in a safe and sound condi.
ton.
Judge Schuldt found that regula-
tons were not published as ordered
by the act OF January rs, 1887, and
further that they are discriminatory.
The court found that the ordinance
grants no power to change existing
elevators and that the ordinance is
unreasonable"

an alleged attempted criminal as
sault on pretty 16-year-old tele-
phone operator.
The prisoners are Guy Elemdorf,
"a. a metal worker, 100 block K st.
N. W., and William Thomas Coul-
ter, "a, a mechanic, 600 block JEFF

After spending several hours at
the amusement park, Atchison, an
acquaintance Of Elemdorf and Coul-
ter, accepted an invitation to ride

~ AoarfVaav AHaA epgSa1, hnRaaA
Charging that EIemdorf and
Coulter then began tusseling with
the telephone operator, Atchison
said he walked away in order to
save his girl friend from danger.
They crossed the bridge and notified
police.
ogle drove to Georgetown and
picked up Atchison. They then
went to the spot where Atchison
had last seen the girl with the two
men. They found some Of the girls
garments there.
Caught After Chase
The detective saw q machine turn
into n road short distance away.
He gave chase. The car in front
shot ahead when the detective
started In pursuit.
Elemdorf and Coulter attempted
to evade capture by following q
zig gag course. The two machines
shot along at more than so miles
an hour, q dangerous speed becausn
Of q heavy fog.
Ogle overlook the two youths af-
ter g two-mile chase. Coulter, OgIe
says, stepped from the machine and
attempted to hit the de4setive with
big screw driver. Ogle over.
powered Coulter and returned the
pair TO washington.
Elemdorf and Coulter were taken
to Washington and charged with
being fugitives from justice. They
later were turned over to Virginia
authorities.
Meanwhile, the alleged victim Of
the attack had been returned TO
Washington by friends sent to
search for her by Atchison.
Near County Line

lashmut, of Arlington county, made
q survey of the scene Of the al.
legged attack and discovered that it
happened in Fairfax county about
$50 feet from the Arlington county

Through this discovery the case
changes jurisdiction from Arlington
county to Fairfax county and both
men win be transferred from the
Arlington county jail for q hearing
in Fairfax. William G.. Cloth,
Commemorative attorney for Ar
lington county spent more than an
hour comforting with Wilson Farr,
