In the first prace the prosecutor suggests that handbook making and bootleg cases are not grand jury cases, but are tried In the Police Court, except in rare instances where second offense of selling liquor is an indictable offense. Commissioner Oyster had com- plained of failure of grand jury to in- dict in handbook and liquor cases.

Pursuit of an alleged bootleg car that started near the bureau of en- graving and printing early ended about three miles west of Alex- andria, where a match was applied to 120 gallons of corn whisky seized by Park Policemen H. W. Brown and J. N. Browning and the liquor de- stroyed. Sergt. L. A. Libby of the park police force, riding with the :two members of his command, sighted the booze” car moving north on 14th street from the direction of Highway bridge. The lone occupant of the car, a colored man, seeing the motor cycle officers start toward him, made a quick turn and started south in the direction of the bridge, officers close behind him. When the north end of the bridge was reached, according to police, the lone occupant of the car turned and fired at the pursuing officers, the lat. ter returning the fire and punctur- ing a tire on a wheel of the liquor car. Puncturing of the tire did not cause the driver to stop the car, however, and he continued over the bridge into Virginia, passed through the western part of Alexandria and finally was forced to stop when one wheel came off his car. Sergt. Libby, riding alone, was un- able to continue the pursuit. Brown and Browning managed to keep se behind the speeding car, how- er, and when a short distance from the three where the driver was forced to stop. it is stated, their motor cycle and sidecar became stalled in the mud. It was due to the stalling of the motor cycle that the colored man in the liquor car was able to escape in the darknes: The intoxicant was emptied from one-half gallon glass jars, the jars broken and fire applied to the liquor. The car was seized. A warrant will be obtained for the driver on the charge of unlawful transportation of the whisk S JUVENILE PROTECTIVE FUND DRIVE IS PUSHED Colored Women's Club May Be First Group to Complete Its Quota.
