CAR TAMPER|NG
LAID TO STUDENT
G. U. Dental Pupil Is Said to
Have Admitted DismantIing
Police Machine.

Its a regular New York racket
spoke Francis p. Gum, police say, when
they arrested him in Georgetown UNI
versity Dental School class room this
morning as the man who ripped the
wiring out of a patrol car last midnight
and escaped in green sedan.
Gum was charged with destroying
and defacing and with stealing District
of Columbia property. He flrst was
taken to headquarters to be photo
graphed and then held at No. pre-
cinct, where bond of from 81 900 to ST.
600 viii be required for his release.
Gums arrest was the result of
some arduous sleuthing on the part
of Sergt. John p. Norris and Pvt. w.
w. Whittemore. The latter was of
at o'clock this morning, but remained
at the precinct to pore over District
automobile tag lists In hope of locating
the green sedan, two tag numbers Of
which he could remember.
Find Car Damaged.
The sergeant and Whittemore went
to a lunch room in the 100 block Of
Fourteenth street just after midnight
to investigate complaint. They were
inside only few minutes.
Returning, the officers found that
ignition wires had been ripped from
beneath the dashboard of the police
car, that a $25 searchlight had been
broken, together with the windshield
wiper. Walking around the roadster,
they found the rear fender and bumper
caved in-the rear license plate was
missing.
The officers learned from bystander
that young man had driven green
sedan away from a parking space i'm
mediately behind their automobile. In
moving from the Surb the automobile
hit the police machine, denting bumper
and fender. Then the driver, police
learned, stopped his car, jumped out
and began to strip everything from the
police car which he could pull on with
his hands. Apparently satisfied, he
pulled the rear license plate from the
police machine, flung 1t into his own
automobile and drove of.
Remembered License Figures.
Whittemore had walked around be-
hind the green sedan when he went
into the lunch room, without noticing it
particularly. He could recall, however,
that the license plate had two 6s on it.
This morning he spent several hours
searching tag lists and finally located
number which seemed to suit-one
with two IS, listed to q green sedan of
the make In question.
The car was owned by Gum, Is
years old, Of 2018 Thirty-seventh street.
When the officers arrested Gum, he
was attending a class at the Dental
School, 5000 Reservoir road.

ELDR|DGE PREDICTS
MARKED DECREASE
IN TRAFFIC DEATHS
Bases Forecast on Fatality
Record, Which Is 20 Under
y Last Year.
BELIEVES D. C. MOTORISTS
DRIVE WITH MORE CARE
Reports Show SO Killed, in Com
parison With 72 in Ten
Months of 1929.

A marked reduction in traffic ia
tAlitics in the District this year In
comparison with 1923 was forecast To-
day by NJ O. El6ridge, assistant di-
rector of traffic.
Mr.. Eldridge based his prediction on
the traffic fatality record for the flrst
10 months of 1880, which is 20 unoer
the record for the corresponding period
of last year. Reports compiled by the
assistant traffic director show there
were ~ traffic deaths in the first 10
months of last year, compared with 81
for the same period this year.
Gives Reasons for Decrease.
The decrease, Mr.. Eldridge believes,
is due to a combination of circum-
stances-better observance of the traf-
fic regulations, careful driving on the
part of the motorists, less carelessness
on the part of the pedestrian and the
extension of the automatic traffic light
system.
Three of the So killed thus far this
year, the report shows, were the VIC
TINS of street car accidents, the other
AZ having been killed in motor acci-
dents. In the first 10 months of last
year street cars killed of the II traf-
fic victims.
The lowest number of traffic deaths
in any one year since the creation of
the Trafnc Bureau was rs which oc-
CURED in 1926. Mr.. Eldridge believes
the final total for this year will be
considerably lower in view of the record
for the first 10 months.
May Worst Month.
There were II traffic fatalities in
November and December of 1929, and
should this number be equaled in these
same months this year, Mr.. Eldridge
pointed out, the traf1ic death record
would be "a, compared with total OF
"a deaths for the IL months of 1929.
Mr.. Eldridges report shows that
May was the worst month so far this
year for traffic fatalities. Eleven per-
sons were killed in this month. June
followed with seven deaths and August
and October are credited with six each.
There were four deaths in February,
March, July and September and three
in January and April.
Of the "a traffic deaths last year, 70
were caused by motor vehicles, 5 by
street cars and by bicycle.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, November despite
extreme precautions taken at Maryland
race tracks to eliminate the possibility
Of counterfeit tickets, seven bogus 81
tickets to show, valued at $3.50 apiece,
were cashed at Laurel last Saturday,
the last day Of the meet. it became
known today.
The counterfeit tickets were discov-
cred when the books were balanced at
the end of the days racing, Mort
Shaw of the pari mutuel department of
the track said today.
Jervis Spencer, jr., member OF the
Maryland Racing Commission, said that
the counterfeits were perfect.
When he was shown one next to a
regular ticket, he picked the counter
felt as the perfect ticket, he said.
Both Mr.. Shaw and MIR. Spencer were
unable to tell how the counterfeit was
effected or how the counterfeiter got
the symbols, which are changed on the
tickets each day.
Very seldom are race tickets counter
feited effectively enough to deceive
track officials, it was said today, and
it is not often that the books at the
track do not check up at the close of
each racing day.

Getting at Realism.

THOSE who have seen the Ronald
Colman picture Condemned" which
is being held for the second week at
the Columbia Theater, have remarked
upon the realism of its scenes. Aboard
the prison transport ship, In the Devils
Island prison and in the jungles shut
ting off the prison from all the world
outside, the most striking note is nat
uralness OF perturbation.
As THE Virginian" caught the breath
of the outdoors, the echoes of canyons,
the rustling of trees In Summer 6
wind so does this picture, observers
agree, catch the hot, feveriSh breath of
tropical island. In the jungle scenes
virtually the only element lacking Is the
stencil Of rank growth and water.
Part Of the credit for the realism of
Condemned" is given to the author Of
the story from which 1t was adapted,
which was titled Condemned to Devils
Island" and written by Blair Niles. Mrs.
Niles is said to be the first journalist to
have obtained permission of French au-
thorities to visit the island, go through
,the prison and explore the surrounding
jungle regions. Her story of the con-
vict who made his escape through this
barrier was followed In close detail by
the producers of the picture.
