POLICEMAN ESCAPES
GANGSTER'S BULLET
Shot Came From Car Bearing Six
White Men, but Was
Wide of Mark.

Gangster warfare broke out in the
District last night when Patrolman B.
r. Burgess of the sixth precinct was
fired upon by a member of a party of
six white men riding in an automobile.
The shooting occurred when the patrol
man was talking over the telephone in
a police call box at Third and F streets.
The bullet, fired at close range, went
wide of its mark. So sudden did the
shooting take place Burgess said he
became bewildered and did not draw
his service pistol to return the fire until
the machine got out of range.
A squad of detectives and patrolmen,
headed by Lieut.. Jerry A. Sullivan, night
precinct commander, searched the
vicinity, but no trace of the machine
could be found.
Meanwhile a general alarm was
flashed to other stations in the city.
Burgess reported to Lieut.. Sullivan
that he was standing at the third and
F streets call box at about 1880 pm,
when the car rolled past him and one of
the occupants suddenly pointed at him
and cried out:
There he isl"
Burgess said he next saw one of the
men draw a pistol and. leaning far out
of the car, fire point blank at him. He
attributed the reason for the shot going
wild to the sudden speeding up of the
automobile just as the gunman pulled
the trigger. He said he succeeded In
concealing himself, and the gangsters
did not attempt q second shot.

MYSTERY BURGLAR
SPURNS RICH LOOT
RobS Four Apartments, Leav-
ing Jewels and Silver,
But Takes $50.

Four mysterious burglaries, in three
of which the thief took nothing and in
the fourth only $50 in cash, confronted
police of the third precinct last night.
The burglar, who gained entrance in
all cases by jimmying doors, first went
to the Hay-Adams House, where he
forced his way into the apartment Of
William D. Hoover, president of the
National Savings d Trust Co.
Although he jimmied two doors in the
apartment and ransacked all the rooms
the thief. despite the presence of val
liable silver and jewelry, apparently
took nothing. The burglary was dis
covered by members of the family when
they returned from a moving picture
show.
Two other apartments at the Hay
Adams House, the occupants of which
are out of town for the Summer, were
also jimmied by the thief. There was
no evidence, however, that anything
had been taken, although the apart
ments had been ransacked.
Employees of the hotel told Officer A.
T. Davis of the third precinct that they
saw q shabbily dressed man in the hotel
last evening. He Is being sought by
the police.
The apartment of John Warren, at
1924 Sixteenth street, was entered in
the same manner. Sixty dollars, which
had been hidden under a dress in the
clothes closet, were missing. but the
thief did not disturb valuable jewelry
in a bureau drawer.

President Hoover's Law Enforcement
Commission was given a new lease of
life yesterday by subcommittee of the
Senate appropriations committee-but
with a specific command to confine its
activity to the investigation of prohi-
bition.
The committee wrote into the House
deficiency bill an amendment to pro-
vide $4,000 for continuation of the
commissions inquiry. The House yes
terday struck from the measure q pro-
vision for $250,000. Without an appro-
priation at this session the commission
would be without funds after July /.
Senator Jones, Republican, Washing
ton, dry leader, was the only one of the
10 members of the committee who op-
posed the amendment. It was offered
by Senator Glass, Democrat, Virginia
who tlrSt proposed establishment of the
commission in the Senate about two
years ago.

amendment would compel the commits

GAS LIGHT MERGER
COMPROMISE SEEN
Howell Demands Public Be
Safeguarded Before
Bill Passes.

Pending legislation to authorize the
merger of the Washington and George
town Gas Light Cos, on which a cut
in the price of gas hinges, is the sub
ject of conferences now going on be-
tween company officials and Senator
Howell, Republican, of Nebraska, who
wants certain public safeguards in the
measure, it became known last night.
Senator Howell was not ready to dis
cuss the situation beyond saying that
the points Of difference between them
are being talked over.
Although Congress Is within a week
or 10 days of adjournment, there might
yet be chance to enact gas merger
legislation If an adjustment can be
reached on the questions raised by Sem
ator Howell.
Definite Schedule Embodied.
The merger bill as reported by the
Senate District committee is on the
Senate calendar, and Senator Howell
has pending In printed form his sub
Stltute, embodying a definite schedule
Of rate reductions the companies would
have to agree to accept in exchange for
the right to merge and other rights
granted by the bill
Senator Howell heretofore has OBJ
jected to action on the original bill.
The company officials predicted In the
hearings that the merger would make
possible rate reduction of about 10
per cent, but Senator Howell took the
position that the public should know
deflnitely In advance Of action on the
bill what benefits 1t would receive.
Early this week the company filed
with the Utilities Commission a pro-
posed schedule of rate reductions, to be
taken up for action following merger.
Senator Howell followed this move by
drafting his substitute bill. The SEN
ator omitted from his substitute several
provisions in the original bill relating
to the financial affairs of the company
and the regulation of stock issues.
Minimum Monthly Charge Proposed.
In its proposed schedule, filed with
the commission. the company suggested
a charge of 60 cents a month on all
meters, which Senator Howell changed
in his bill to a minimum monthly
charge. A minimum charge would ap-
ply only where less than so cents worth
of gas was used, but would not affect
bills above that amount. The Senator
also provided that If the thermal value
of the gas went below 600 British
thermal units the commission would be
directed to make further rate reduc-
tionS.
Both schedules would have reduced
the price OF gas to IS cents per 1000
cubic feet for the first $500 cubic feet
and IS cents per 1000 thereafter. For
bills not paid within the discount period
these rates would be 95 and 85 cents,
respectively. The present price of gas
is 81 per 1000 for those who use less
than 200 900 cubic feet per month.
Just what proposals are now being
discussed in connection with the pend
ing legislation have not been indicated.
