RIVER ROAD
Driverless Ford Leaps
Into River from Road

A. /. Smiths Ford took notion
to explore new regions all by Its
self last Friday morning. 1t had
been left parked by the road side
in front of L. Smiths home while
the driver, L. A. Tweedt. was talk
ing to the boss himself in another
car. 1t started merrily down the
road by itself but evidently find
ing the pavement an old story, it
concluded to investigate possible
ties over the river bank. It took a
flying lean that would have made
a Jack rabbit envious and landed
on all tours. The first decision as
to its punishment was to dismantle
1t and leave it's skeleton where it
stood. But the younger people, who
swim in this part of the river
earlier in the summer objected 70
the possibility of stumbling their
ties on it next spring. So Ottar
Brue and Art GLASGOW worked all
Sunday afternoon replacing the
bent wishbone and badly bent axel
with new ones. Monday Ottar and
Mr.. Brue hauled it back to the
highway again. This should be a
warming to all other Fords, who
are weary of traversing concrete
pavements.

enumerators
Although the Census Bureau does not
intend at present to prosecute violators
of the census law unless their offenses
plainly are wi1lful, the bureau would APP
preciate the wiling aid of every citizen
in compilation of the census of distribu-
ton, according to j. Sterling Moran,
supervisor for the District of Columbia.
Mr.. Moran is the guiding head of the
present census of distribution and the
bigger job that is to come shortly-the
annual decennial nose count, or EMU

Moran points out. even though it is not
the present intention of the census au-

Mr.. Moran made it plain today that
the information sought by the Census
Bureau is obtained and held only in the
strictest confidence and goes even to
the clerks in the bureau only as a dis
connected series of numerals or checks,
which cannot be deciphered by any one
who does not possess the key to the en-
tire series.

United States Attorney Leo. A. Rover

G. Pratt, major and superintendent of

city editor of the Washington Times,

tell of the source of his supposed in
formation that several police officers.
including two captains, were engaged in
violations Of the national prohibition
act In some manner.
The letter reached Rover this morn

to discuss the matter at this time.
Pratts request is the outgrowth of the

week on a liquor charge.

ping from the Times reporting the trial
of Langdon. The clipping quoted Mr.
OConnell as testifying that he had in
formation indicating that about seven
members of the Metropolitan Police
Department, including two captains
were engaged in liquor law violations"
Maj. Pratt in his letter asked that
Mr.. O'Connell be subpoenaed in the in

close the identity of the members ac-
cuSed.
Transcript of the testimony given by
O'Connell on the witness stand in the
Langdon case diScloses that he made
no pretense of having anything but
''hearsay" information as to the alleged
violations of the law by members of
the Police Department. When asked
by counsel to relate the conversation
had with DR.. Doran and other prohi-

we had been gathering prohibition in
