Workmen RemodeIing Build
ing Quarters in Municipal
Center Here.
CHURCH BUILDING HELD
UNSUITED FOR TRIBUNAL
Assistant Engineer Commissioner
Robb Declares Progress in Prop
erty Acquisition Being Made.

Preparations for moving the Juvenile
Court from its temporary home in the
Arthur School Building into new quar-
tiers in a recently acquired building in
the Municipal Center area were COM
pleted today by Assistant Engineer
Commissioner Robb'
The court will be located on the sec
ond floor of a three-story brick build
ing at 472-478 Louisiana avenue, just
a short distance from the Walker Build
ing, which is now housing the Police
Department, the TRAFFIC Bureau and the
city refuse department.
Completion Expected in 10 Days.
Workmen are now remodeling the
building for occupancy by the court.
Mai. Robb said he hoped to have the
work completed within 10 days or two
weeks.
The Arthur School Building, where
the court is now located, is to be RACED
to make way for the Capital Plaza de-
velopment. Plans had been made to
start the demolition of this building
several months ago, but the work was
postponed at the request OF District Of
flcials. who at that time had been I'M
able to find suitable building in which
to house the court.
The First Presbyterian Church build
ing on John Marshall place, had been
under consideration as a new home
for the court, but District officials
found upon investigation that the cost
Of remodeling it would be too high
Maj. Robb said to convert the church
building into a court house would cost
about $4,000. Aside from numerous
alterations, he pointed out, a modern
heating plant would have to be in
stalled.
The building at 472-478 Louisiana
avenue is one of those recently pur-
chased in the Municipal Center area
The court will occupy rooms which for
merly housed an art shop.
One Million Already Spent.
Considerable progress has been made
in the last two months, Maj. Robb said
in the acquisition of additional property
in the Municipal Center area. In this
period the District spent nearly 81 ,O0O,-
900 Of the $4,000 900 appropriated this
year for purchase of property for the
Municipal Center development. The
largest Of recent purchases were the
Ford Building at John Marshall place
and Pennsylvania avenue, for which
the District paid $550000 and the
building occupied by the Independent
Publishing Co. at 339 Pennsylvania ave-
nue.. The latter building cost the Dis
trict 1921 900.
Mai. Robb said that as a result of
the recent purchases the District now
has acquired nearly two-thirds of the
total area for the Municipal Center
development.

bv Close Margin.
TWO COLORED MEN
IN SAGGING SEDAN
Race Starting at $50 AM. on
Benning Road Dropped at Fourth
and w Northwest.

A heavily loaded machine presumably
smuggling whisky into the District
escaped from two eleventh precinct
policemen after a thrilling 15-mile
chase through the Northeast and North
west sections of the city early today
by releasing a thick barrage OF smoke
which left the officers blinded and
gaSping.
The pursuit, climaxed by three mar
row escapes from crashes with other
machines, was abandoned by the
policemen at Fourth and w streets
when the pursued car disappeared In a
cloud of thick, oily smoke so dense the
police could not see the street ahead.
Pvts. C.. o. Rouse and j. E. Click
were driving along Kenilworth avenue
northeast in a police car about 2:3O
am. when a powerful black sedan
manned by two colored men roared by
them and swung into Benning road at
a high rate of speed.
Load Says Auto.
A number of cases were piled high in
Sagging low from the weight OF a
heavy load, the officers said.
The police car, with Rouse at the
wheel set out after the machine oc-
cupied by the two colored men and
followed it over Benning road to the
Potomac Electric Power Co.'S plant,
where the man operating the smoke
screen turned loose burst of smoke.
The two machines ratified across Ben
ming Bridge, the police auto narrowly
missing an approaching car which
loomed suddenly out of the smoke, and
continued onward to Fifteenth and H
HHyHn
as a driver was again tested when he
was called upon to swerve his car to
miss a machine which crossed between
the two automobiles.
The smoke screen operator played a
spasmodic attack upon the pursuers
which left the eyes of the policemen
smarting with pain, but failed to halt
them.
Forced to Quit Chase.
The sedan then swung of to First
and NJ streets northwest, where the
police car again narrowly missed an
approaching automobile, and then
headed uptown to Fourth and w
streets in a zigzag trail. There the
chase was brought to an end when the
officers were forced to quit to prevent
wrecking their machine.
A lookout" was flashed to every pre-
cinct in the city, but the officers failed
to discern the tag numbers of the coll
ored mems auto before the smoke bar
rage was laid down and the men are
still at large.
1t is believed the load of liquor was
delivered and the car driven into a
garage to wait until things "quieted
down" for an immediate search started
by all patrolplen, motor cycle officers
and those assigned to automobile duty
failed to disclose any trace Of the sedan.

During his trial in the District
Supreme Court on the burglary charge,
which brought him a 25-year sentence
in Leavenworth, Panzram barred all the
hatefulness of his nature. With sullen
calm he threatened court officers sew
eral times during the trial. Once he
turned to Walter Shea, assistant district
attorney, who was prosecuting him, and
growled:
