OFFICERS ARE HURT
IN LIQUOR CHASE
Pursuing Car Crashes Into
Truck When Smoke Screen
Blinds Driver.

Two policemen were injured early
today when their automobile, enveloped
in cloud of smoke let loose by sup
posed liquor-laden car which they had
pursued for more than a mile. crashed
into a truck at Sixth and K streets
northeast.

occurred shortly before 3 o'clock are:
Pvt. Carlton E. Thorne, 80, Anacostia,
and Pvt. Homer L. Pearson, %, of 1444
w street southeast. both of the eleventh

James G. Lantz, 10, of 1916 D street
northeast, escaped injury.
Climaxes Wild Pursuit.
The crash climaxed a spectacular
chase begun at Benning road and Ken
llWorth avenue northeast.
The police machine, with Thorne at
the steering wheel, and Pearson beside
him, was parked at the west end of
Benning Bridge when q small road
ster bearing Virginia license plates
drove beneath the span.
When the automobile failed to halt
at the stop" sign at the intersection
of Benhing road and Kenilworth ave-
nue., the officers started in pursuit.
Noticing the police car heading
toward him, the driver of the fugitive
machine stepped on the accelerator
and both automobiles roared down Ben
ming road. headed for the city.
Smoke Fails TO Halt Police.
AS the police car began to creep up
on the fleeing machine, the driver
opened his smoke-screen device. De-
spite the heavy clouds of smoke hurled
at them by the fleeing machine, how
ever, the policemen continued the
chase.
The speeding automobiles were head
ed toward the downtown section when
they reached Sixth and K streets north
east. The supposed rum car cleared
the intersection, but the police car, its
driver blinded by the smoke, crashed
into the truck and was virtually de-
molished.
The truck, owned by Carl weissmuel-
Ter, l444 W street southeast, and bound
north on Sixth street, was only slightly
damaged
Both Taken to Hospital.
Both officers were taken to Casualty
HoSpital-Thorne in machine oper-
ated by Alfred E. Moses, 334 E street
southeast, and Pearson in one driven
by Charles E. Whitaker, 1700 Lyman
street northeast.
They were treated by DR.. William
E. Bowman, who found Thorne had a
possible fractured vertebrae and a
minor leg injury, while Pearson is suf-
fering from several fractured ribs, cuts
and bruises.
Police are endeavoring to check up
on the license number Of the supposed

Every penny that is contributed to

facing demands for relief which are n
per cent greater than those Of last
year, it can readily be seen that there

substituted a new proviso, as follows:
THAT no general plan for the de-

no development inconsistent with this
plan be executed without the aSSocia-

two Of the operators have communi-
Gated with the commission in any way
on the subject. One of them wrote
saying he would call on the commits
sion later. He has not called. A second
called on the commission yesterday and
asked Chairman Mason NJ. Patrick

WOMAN IS HUNTED
IN BLAST WRECKAGE.
Companion of First Victim
Said to Have Entered
Doomed Building.

Firemen today were searching the
wreckage Of building at 1900 Eleventh
street southeast on the possibility that
woman may lie buried in the ruins
from which the body of Frank Price,
colored, 40 years old, was removed yes
terday after an explosion demolished
the place
Police reported that a woman was
seen to enter the automobile wrecking
plant with Price, an employe, shortly
after midnight Monday and few hours
before a mysterious blast leveled the
walls Of the two-Story brick structure
and precipitated a fire which quickly
spread through the debris.
Found Nine Hours Later.
The body of the coIored man was
found nine hours after the explosion,
badly cf.arred and buried under tina
crumbling walls and timbers. Firemen
did not suspect that any one had been
inside the building until Prices wife
reported him missing from his home In
Fairmont Heights, Md
Evidence uncovered by firemen indi-
Gated that the explosion originated in
a coal stove toward the front of the
building. 1t is possible, they said, that
Price attempted to revive blaze in the
stove with gasoline or kerosene.
The blast rocked the neighborhood
about 3 O'Clock yesterday morning
throwing glass and other bits of debris
for 100 yards and completely leveling
the building.
S35,O00 Loss Estimated.
Prices wife told police he was with
her about 10 o'clock Monday night and
took her home, saying he was going
to drive ''out to Maryland" to spend
the night
The establishment, owned by Jake
Levin, was known as the Penn Auto
WreckerS Co. Levin estimated the
building and stock to be worth S35, 900
about $12,500 Of which was covered by

FAVORABLE REPORT
IS PROMISED FOR
AUTO SAFETY BILL
District Committee to Perfect
Amendments Suggested
at Public Hearing.
TWO CHIEF FEATURES
OF MEASURE STRESSED
Proof of Financial Responsibility
Required of Drivers in
Serious 0ffenses.

The bill to promote street safety in
Washington by requiring drivers who
are convicted Of serious traffic offenses
to show proof of financial responsibility
before they drive again will be reported
faVorably by the Senate District Com
mittee as soon as perfecting amend
ments suggested at a public hearing
Yesterday afternoon have been made.
After spokesmen for various civic
and trade organizations had Endorsed
the legislation, Chairman Capper point
ed out that the committee approved
similar measure last year and he favor
ed reporting it to the Senate again.
Senator Kean, Republican Of New Jer-
sey, then made the motion that 1t be
reported, with several amendments,
which were suggested by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Vernon West and
concurred in by supporters of the Dill.
Two Essential Features.
The bill has two essential features.
First, motorists convicted CT reckless
driving, driving under the influence of
liquor or drugs, or leaving the scene OF
an accident in which personal injury
occurs without making identity known,
would have their permits withheld until
they satisfy the authorities of their
ability to respond thereafter in dam
ages. Second, failure Of person to
satisfy judgment arising from an acci-
dent subsequent to the passage of the
act would result in the right to drive
being suspended while such judgment
remains unsatisfied and until the per-
son gives proof of ability to respond In
damages In the future.
These who appeared in support OF
the bill included George w. Offutt,
American Automobile Association; L..
citation: E. D. Merrill, Washington
Chamber of Commerce; Charles G. Col
lins, vice chairman of the Traffic Com
mittee of the Beard of Trade; Joseph
fitzgerald, jr., Federation of Citizens
Associations; Evan H. Tucker, North
east Washington Citizens Association,
and Herbert L. Davis, superintendent OF
insurance.
Changes Suggested.
Mr.. Fitzgerald said the federation be-
lieved the minimum Judgment to which
the bill would apply should be reduced
from 500 to $40. Other supporters OF
The Dill eApISSScu LOpC tAlLo SAloAASC
would not be made The federation
suggested two other changes, relating
to the procedure of serving legal notices.
Supporters of the bill emphasized
that it seeks TO protect the public from
careless and reckless drivers without
penalizing careful motorists. LegiSla-
ton along similar lines has been en-
acted by 18 States.
The committee also considered bill
yesterday to require insurance organiza-
tions which are incorporated under the
laws of the District to keep their books
and records in the District, to facilitate
inspection. Senator Kean suggested
the bill be rewritten to specify the rec
ords to be kept here, so that the meas
ure would not work unnecessary hard
ships.
