CGITY HEADS ATTEND RHODE ISLAND FETE Thousands of Merrymakers Dedicate New Paved Street. Auto Prizes Given. Ghosts and hobgoblins, witches and shades of characters of bygone days joined last night with more mas terial human beings in celebrating the opening of Rhode Island avenue northeast as the first paved thor- oughfare east from the heart of the city to Maryland. The three Com- Infsstoners of the District, as merry as any of the frolickers who lined Rhode Island avenue from 12th street to 23rd street, joined in the festivities incident to the formal dedication of the avenue and promised further aid in_community projects. Last night's affair, a carnival and automobile parade, with Rhode Island irvenue northeast roped off for two blocks, was held under the auspices of the Rhode Island Avenue Citizops' Association, referred to by Commis- sloner Oyster in an addresd at a short business meeting as one of the most progressive, if not the leading citi- zens' assoofation of the city. . Mr. Oyster praised the spirit of the leading members of the association, which, he sald, had prompted the Commissioners to glve the territory a fire house, pave Rhode Island uve- nue and construct a police station house within the limits of the asso- ciation territory, in addition to other smaller improvements. He bespoke the aid of the members in his effort to launch a bond issue for needed improvements in Wash- ington and sald he felt sure the as- sociation would be behind him in this work. Commissioners Rudolph and Bell also gave short talks. Two hundred and eighty-six candidates were elected to membership as a result of the membership drive held by the asso- clation for the past month, A parade of automobiles starting from 12th street northeast and pre- ceded by the Navy Band in a truck, foatured the carnival. More than 200 automobiles, gayly decorated and fes- tooned with pumpkins and witches, passed along Rhode Island avenue under the eye of the judges in a com- petition designed to bring out the best decorated cars. Quentin Errico, thirteen-year-old son of Tony Errico, shoemaker, at 532 13tH street southeast,' was fatally shot yesterday afternoon by Willlam Robertson,’ fiftéen-year-old ‘compan- fon, at the latters' home, 719 13th street southeast, where the latter was displaying his father’s pistol and tell- ing how he would shoot a robber. The boys had been chums several years, the police were told, and yes- terday afternoon Errico visited the Robertson home, where he found Wil- liam alone. There was a loaded pis- tol there, and Errico asked his chum what he would do If & robber should come up behind him. “I would get this” he responded, picking up the weapon, “and shoot.” “How would you know it was loaded?” Robertson was asked. “I know it's loaded, all right he 1» sald to have responded, pulling PLAYGROUNDS CHILDREN IN PARADE AND DANCES Prizes Awarded in Elaborate Hal- loween Celebration on Vir- ginis Avenue. “Ghosts” and fanciful costumes were much in evidence as children of the Virginla avenue playgrounds pa- raded, danced and sang on the grounds in celebration of Halloween vesterday afternoon. ‘A peanut scramble, fancy dances and the dancing of the Virginia reel were features of the program.

The bullet entered Er- rico's stomach and caused him to (€ make an outcry. Robertson sald he zhon{m the weapon was pointed at the floor and he did not mean to dis- charge it.
