Action in the House on a number of
District bills on the consent calendar
was prevented today.
Representative Greenwood Of In
diana refused unanimous consent to
passage of the Lampert bill to increase
the salaries of police and flremen in
the District. Representative Sim
mons of Nebraska, chairman of the

The bill to prevent professional prize

ing in the District was passed over
without prejudice on the request OF
Representative La Guardia of New York.
The measure retains its place on the
calendar.
The Mcleod bill authorizing the
District Commissioners to settle claims
and suits against the District was re-
ferred back to the House District COM
mittee on a point of order.
The bill fathered by Representative
Reid of Illinois, to amend the act
establishing board of public welfare

tablishing the U. S. S. Olympia as a
memorial to the men and women who
served the United States in the wal

OFFICER INJURED
IN BOOTLEG CHASE
Dodges Bullet, but Can't
Make Turn While Sprinting
From Alley.

A policeman giving chase to a boot
logger last night lodged bullet from
his quarry'S revolver, but was unable
to make a turn while entering street
from an alley, crashed to the street and
suffered three broken bones in his arm.
E. F. Lewis of the thirteenth precinct
the officer, was carried to Walter Reed
night, but showed up at Police Court
today to testify against man arrested
by fellow policeman at the same time
Lewis met with misfortune.
Lewis said that he, accompanied by
Policeman T. C. Bragg, made tele-
phone call and asked the person on
the other end to deliver two pints of
liquor to them at Fourteenth street and
Colorado avenue.
The officer said a small touring car.
occupied by two men, arrived at the
appointed place a few minutes after
the call. Bragg received the whisky
and informed the men that he was a
policeman.
One of the men, Albert E. Ledford,
willingly submitted to arrest, but an
other man, unknown to police, leaped
from the machine and ran into an al
ley toward Sixteenth street. Lewis pur-
sued the fugitive into the dark alley.
The chased man, not 10 feet from the
officer, turned and fired shot almost
point blank at Lewis. The officer con-
tinued to give chase, but fell to the
pavement as "his man" turned into
Sixteenth street.
Policeman Bragg, fearing his COM
panion had been shot, followed the
chase with his man fastened to his
wrist. He picked Lewis from the street
and summoned the patrol wagon.
Ledford was charged with possession
of whisky at Police Court today, pleaded
not guilty and demanded jury trial.
