CURB ON ROLLER SKATING
IN GROUPS ADVOCATED
Police Told to See That Children
Do Not Become Annoyance
to Residents.

Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superintendent
of police, issued memorandum to pre-
cinct captains Yesterday directing their
attention to the fact that while there
is nothing in the regulations prohibit
ing roller skating on the sidewalks, the
noise caused by large number of
children congregated in one place be-
comes very annoying to residents and
should be prevented.
The communication stated:
AT this season of the year numer-
Gus complaints are received of per-
sons skating on the sidewalks and
streets drought the city. While the
regulation prohibits skating in any
street except where it is set aside by
the director of traffic for that purpose
and roped off. there is no regulation
prohibiting roller skating on the side
walks.
"The noise caused by large number
of children congregating in one place,
both from the skates and from the loud
talk and yelling, becomes very annoying
to residents and is especially so II there
is sickness in the neighborhood.
THE congregating of large num-
Der of children and older persons on
the sidewalks for the purpose of skating
interferes with the free passageWay OF
the sidewalks for pedestrians, ana
think it would be we'll to instruct the
members of your command to prevent
the congregating of persons in large
numbers in any one place for the pur-
pose of skating, and especially where
they are annoying residents"

to Railroad Tracks.

Investigation by Arlington County Of
f1cials of the story of BuShrod Garrison
of Washington, a Waterman employed
by the Virginia Auto Parts Co., that he
was beaten about the head by one of
three men early Sunday morning and
tied to the rails of spur track near
the Washington Alexandria pike, was
delayed today through failure of Gar
rison to appear in court at the Airing
ton County. Va. courthouse.
Three men are under arrest as the
result of Garrison's charges. all held

ued at SIG. They are Nathan G..
Armel, SO. who gave his address as
Kings Rest Camp, near the Arlington
County Alexandria line, and Ode Pom
thieux, 20, and Winston B. Baker, IL,
both of Alexandria, Va.
Garrison is reported to have de-
scribed the attack to H. L. Hemminger
his employer. The three men asked 10
purchase an automobile battery from
him early Sunday morning, he said,
and while waiting on them he was
struck a hard blow by police night
stick.
His assailants tied him to the rails OF
spur track nearby, he asserted. and
when he effected his release sometime
later he returned to the scene of the
attack to discover that the place had
been robbed.
Hemminger told Commonwealth At
torney william c. Cloth today that he
had called at Garrison's home in
Southwest Washington to accompany
him to court and had been told Garri-
son was at a doctors office. William
H. Thompson and Ray Cobean, Airing
ton County policemen, had been unable
to communicate with Garrison. At the
request of the commonwealth attor-
ney the cases were continued Until to-
morrow.

police last night, and is said to have
had in his possession police club. later
identified by Hemminger as the one
taken from his establishment. The
other two men were arrested in room
ing house in the 200 block OF E street,
Washington, later in the evening, by
Officers Thompson and Cobean on In
formation furnished by Armel.

CAR RUNS AWAY,
|NJUR|NG WOMAN
Victim, Unable to Drive, Is
Carried Over Embank-
ment in Machine.

Seated in an automobile which her
daughter had parked at the Calvert
street curb yesterday afternoon, Mrs.
Ida NJ Blackman, 81, of 2315 Twen-
tietE street, waited for the younger
woman, Mrs Anna M. Deckhaut, to re-
turn from nearby grocery.
Mrs. Blackman never had learned to
drive a motor car, and when the vibra-
ton of a passing trolley car Iooseed the
emergency brake she sat frozen with
horror as the car slowly started down
an incline and gathered speed.
A scant $50 yards ahead lay the Cal
vert Street Bridge. spanning the steep
wooded valley of Rock Greek.
Unable to save herself, or so much as
utter an cutlery Mrs. Blackman was
carried over the embankment. The cal
rolled across the curb and plunged
downward through the thicketS for 20
feet, when 1t was stopped by a large
tree, a circumstance to which Mrs
Blackman probably owes her life.
People on the street above, who had
seen the automobile pass them so quick
ly that they were unable to be of as
sistance, clambered down and removed
the injured woman. She was taken to
Emergency Hospital, and there doctors
found she had suffered a possible frac-
ture of the hip and cuts about the
forehead, the result of being pitched
forward in the machine. Her condi-
ton was not regarded as serious.
A wrecking truck was summoned, but
it was more than an hour before the
badly smashed automobile could be ex-
tricated from the thicket In which. 1t
had buried itself.

These two, amidst obs and abs and
backSlappingS, looking out the window

toppled out in establishment, for there
amongst the packed crowds was that

that came simultaneously from two
eager throats and that was heard up

The top kick and gunner sat on OPP
posite sides of the bus looking at each
to place the other. Mrs. Shackelford,
misinterpreting their puzzled frowns for
belligerent attitudes, became a bit APP
prehensive, and seeing these two. sud-
denly remembering, spring across to
embrace each other, inStinctively shut
her eyes and waited for the dull thuds
