gency stop is necessary.
Saylor Is Praised.
The Public Utilities Commission
began its investigation last night, but

The transit company praised Saylor
for his presence of mind in ordering
his passengers to the rear of the car

some fatalities might have resulted,
it was said. Saylor escaped injury,
though he remained at the controls

SUSPECT HUNTED
IN SLASH|NC CASE
Definite Man Under Suspi-
Cion in knitting of George
Washington U. Coed.

A definite suspect was being sought
today as eight of the city's best de-
tectives pressed an investigation into
the knitting of Ruth Macmillan. pretty
George Washington University coed,
in Rock Creek Park near Taft Bridge
late Saturday afternoon.
Police would not reveal their reason
for believing the man in question was
involved. 1t was known, however, that
several habitual park loiterers have
been under scrutiny. and that police
have been interrogating suspicious
characters seen in the vicinity of the
crime
Two OF them were arrested and re-
leased after questioning. Photographs
of several suspects were shown to the
victim. tAt Miss Macmillan could not
identify any of them.
The girl was believed recovering
today from dangerous slashes about
the neck. chest and hips, inflicted by
a penknife in the hands of man who
seized her as she descended into the
ravine of the park to join a group of
her friends on picnic
Park police yesterday raked the
leaves over large area surrounding
the scene of the attack in an effort to
find some clue. 1t was said that a
brown button off mans coat was the
most likely lead There was nothing,
however, to connect it with the
assault.
Miss Macmillan, who is under the
care of physician at PIG Whittier
street, where she lives with relatives.
is fairly certain she can identify her
assailant if he is brought before her,
although her impression of the man
is too incomplete to permit an ideHti-
fication by photograph.
Park police are aiding headquarters
detectives in the hunt. Several sus-
picious ioiterers have been reported
to them by citizens, and these are be-
ing interviewed.
Meanwhile, Wilbur La Roe. jr.
chairman of the District Parole Board,
emphasized the need for a clinic in
the District for the examination of
suspected degenerates with criminal
tendencies.
