the first police precinct station and
patrol filled with policemen soon was
on the scene. BY the time they arrived,
however, FaWsett had everything under
control
Nevertheless, the patrol came In
handy, because Charuchas had to be
taken to Casualty Hospital and Gold
stein and Kahan to the police station.
Dean, better known as Dietz, already
had been taken to Emergency Hospital
in a taXicab. He was treated for scalp
wound and transferred to Gallinger,
where he was rejoined by Charucas,
who had received treatment for a SINH
lar injury at Casualty. Both were
placed under police guard.
Four Others Disappear.
The foursome was booked for inves-
tlgation at the first precinct station. An
other man and three women. who were
members of the party when the fight
started, disappeared when Fawsett
struck Charucas. Police Immediately
began search for them.
After the battle was over Fawsett
learned, he said, that Charucas pre-
viously had drawn the gun and was told
to put it away" by Keys. The group
was arguing with the restaurant man
ager over Charucas' right to carry the
revolver into the place when the po-
liceman entered.
Fawsett came off with a slightly dis
colored eye. bruised shin, a torn coat
and the broken club.

$1,000 AUTO DRIVERS
FACE LACK OF TITLE
All Liable to 81 ZOO Fine or Year
in Jail if They Run Vehicles
Without Certificates.

Fifteen thousand motorists will be
liable to maximum fine of 81 900 or a
year in Jail If they drive their automo-
blles after January /.
This was the opinion Of Traffic Di-
rector William A. Van Duzer, comment
ing on the delay af autoists in mailing
for titles for 1882 tags. He said that
due to the delay $4,000 motorists wifi
be unable to obtain their titles before
January /.
The traffic director pointed out that
under a recent act of Congress these
tardy persons either will have to park
their automobiles or he subjected to
punishment by the courts.
Although the maximum fyle is 81, 900
or year in Jail, traffic officials said the
minimum fine can be as low as 81.
There are at present 10000 persons
who have not yet made application for
titles. BY handling 1000 titles daily the
Traffic Bureau will be able to reduce
that number to $4,000 by January l, it
is estimated. Eighty Thousand titles al
ready have been issued.

BOARD Of TRADE
TAKES UP PROTEST
Will Ask Hoover to Eliminate
Columbia Island Shafts as
Menace to Aviation.

The fight of District aviation inter-
ests against the proposed erection of
two 200-foot granite shafts on Columbia
Island will be carried directly to Presi-
dent Hoover by special committee of
the Washington Board of Trade.
This committee, authorized at spe-
cial meeting of the boards aviation
committee yesterday, will ask the Presl-
cent in his capacity as chairman OF the
Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission.
to eliminate the columns, which have
been branded menaces to the lives OF
passengers who fly from washington
Hoover Airport.
Members of the subcommittee which
will call upon Mr.. Hoover are Lawrence
E. Williams, chairman; William P. NC
Cracker, IT,, former Assistant Secretary
Of Commerce for Aeronautics; Charles
M. Saxelby and Robert j. CottreH.
They will seek an appointment as
soon as possible. They Will take
with them petition bearing the
names Of 40 transport pilots operating
out of the airport, urging that the plans
for the columns be abandoned or that
architectural motifs which would not be
dangerous to transport planes be sub
stituted.
Airport Will Be Closed.
Mr.. Cottrell, executive secretary OF
the board, presided in the absence
of Mr.. Williams. He told the commit
tee the AerOnauticS Branch OF the
Commerce Department is opposed to
construction of the columns and has
indicated that if they are put up 1t Will
close the local airport by taking up the
operating licenses of the transport lines
operating out of Washington.
1T is unthinkable that the Capital
should lose the fruits of its aviation
progress in any such manner" Cottrell
said
In response to a suggestion that the
President be asked merely to defer erec-
ton Of the columns until a permanent
governmental airport might be provided
for the Capital Mr.. Cottrell pointed
out that the only available site other
than WaShington-Ho Hoover Airport Is at
Gravelly Point, but there is no as
surance anything would be done in the
way OF providing an airport there within
the next 10 years.
Must Safeguard Passengers.
washington Hoover Airport is the
only air terminal the Capital has or is
llKeIy 10 nave for number OF years,
ne said. We must make every effort
to safeguard the passengers and pilots
who use that terminal"
The Arlington Bridge columns, mem
oers OF the committee said, will be
taken up at conference of officials
from leading American airports and air
transport lines in Miami, Fla, early
next month. Regardless of whether
the President decides in favor of or
against the columns it was indicated,
the controversy will be used as in IL
lustratlon of the need for Federal regu-
lation OF navigable air space.

But How About the Robbers?
An Indignant Citizen Says He Never Got Into
Trouble With the Police Until He Tried to
Get Thieves arrested.
- oBERT J. RICHARDSON, SIS

~ OBERT J. RICHARDSON, SIS
- Pennsylvania avenue, so years
II old, a taxpayer ard citizen,
l. walked into The Star office and
with considerable heat told the
following story:
i've been driving a car for many
years, here and in New York ana In
Maryland and I've never got mark on
my permit, and always have tired 10
obey the regulations.
Yesterday parked my car on sixth
street between Missouri avenue ana
Constitution avenue and went around to
the st. James post Office station to mail
q letter. I wasn't gone 10 minutes.
When I got back TO my car l was
shocked. There was the front window
broken and the glass lying all over the
sidewalk. The door was hanging open.
l looked inside and found my car had
been robbed Of my most valued posses
sionS. One of the things in my car
was a combination bag worth $50 and
lot of papers that were valuable to me,
but not to anybody else-like my dis
charge from the Navy.
Halls Motor Cycle Cop"
1T figured the first thing to do was
to look for a policeman. l ran up to-
ward Pennsylvania avenue and luckily
I found motor cycle cop. l waved 10
him and he came over to where I was
and 1 reported the robbery TO him. He
said for me to go to the nearest precinct
station and report the robbery and then
he started out to hunt for the robbers,
I suppose.
Il ran back to my car and started
toward the nearest police station. l
guess I should have gone down to New

anxious to get that robbery reported
and so when l saw the Traffic Bureau
tnd Police Headquarters on Indiana
avenue l decided to stop there.
But I couldn't find a place to park.
There was no parking space except next
to a flreplug. l never park next TO
fireplug so I ran up into the alley and
parked there, leaving enough space for
a car to pass my car, because l knew
the patrol wagons come out of that
alley.
Told He Must Post Collateral.
IT jumped out of my car ana ran
into the station to report my robbery,
but before l could get started sergeant
came up and said to me, Now I'll just
get you to step over here and leave 50
collateral for parking in that alley.
Il said, But man, how about those
ROBBERS! My car mas Deen rOppeo. LOOK
at the broken window I want to get
somebody after the robbers, and this is
the only place to park my car
The sergeant said he was sorry about
that, but 1 had parked my car near a
no. parking sign and would have to
leave collateral; that l was blocking
the alley.
Il said there was plenty of room for
car to pass my car, and offered to
measure the space. This, remember,

trade" the association states, will have

future of economic conditions. II
