Tnformation leading to the iden- tity of the fleeing driver was obtain- ed by the police from persons said to be his competitors in the bootlegging business and whose enmity he had gained by his “hi-jacking” method, police said. These informants wit- nessed parts of the chase Because of the terrific pace the ma- chine maintained through crowded city thoroughfares, coupled with the driver's frequent use of his smoke- screen apparatus, the pursuing offi- cers were unable to close in on their quarry sufficiently to use their guns Starts Chase in Southeast. Motor Cycle Policeman M. J. Roach first sighted the car as it came the Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge Southeast Washington. Susp it to be a liquor carrier, becau sunken «prings and its speed, policeman started after the car. As soon as he began to approach the suspected car its operator threw out de 1 of smoke, effectually preventing a capture. At Thirteenth nd East Capitol streets Motor Cycle Policeman Milton D.

Policeman Roach, undaunted, at- tempted to follow on his motor cycle, but was forced to dismount Resuming the chase at the side of the Circle, the officers,learned that the car had run down New Hampshire avenue to M street, and out M street to Twenty-eighth street, where the trail was lost. Later, how- ever, it was learned that car answering the description given by the officers was seen speeding out New Cut road, fn west Georgetown. Upon the information supplied by the informants, Policeman Roach swore out a warrant today for the arrest of the man believed to have been driving the escaped machine. He will be charged with numerous eerious traffic violations and probably also with Volstead law violations. .

The survi | ing dependents of the deceased, how- ever, have or will receive awards, and the amount of the insurance on their lives will not be deducted from their awards, The decision regarding the life in- surance claims is especially notable, las the national commissioners were |unable to agree. The American com- | missioner, Chandler P. Anderson, | took the ground that the claims were justified, while the German commis sioner. Dr. Wilhelm Kiesselbach, {held they should be disallowed. The | cases were referred to the umpire of {the commission, Judge Edwin B.

The a many in striking down an individual | dia not in legal contemplatidn proxi- | mately result in damage to all who had contract relations, direct or re- mote, with that individual which may have been affected by his death.” Of equal interest was the decision of the commission in dismissing the claims of 28 foreign insurance com- panies authorized under State laws to do busines: on the ground that they are foreign cerporations, asso- ciations, partnerships or individuals in whose behalf the United States is not entitled to make. claims against Germany under the treaty of Berlin. | The “commission also dismissed 1,786 claims for war risk insurance | premiums, excess marine insurance | premiums, excess freight charges, ex- | penses of maintaining guards and protective devices and claims of sim- ilar character.

The American agent is Robert W. Bonynge and his associate counsel H. H. Martin, Alexander Otis, John J. Edwards and Joseph C. Fehr. Dr. Karl von Lewinski, the German agent, is assisted by Dr. Melchen von der Decken and Dr. Paul Leverkuehn. The method of procedure is new to international claims adjustments. The commission has announced general principles—a half dozen decisions governing liability for the different classes of claims. With these prin- ciples as a basis the American and German agents have together ex- mined all the claims covered by such cisions and endeavored to arrive at an agreement In each case, After the agents reached proposed settle- ments they presented jointly signed statements too the commission set- ting forth the essential facts with their recommendations. These recom- mendations have in practically all cases been accepted. The American agent, Mr. Bonynge, states that Dr. von Lewinski, the German agent, has rendered most valuable co-operation in_arriving at amicable agreements. To carry out properly the purpose of this gigantic task it was agreed between the two, nations that the commission should have three mem- bers and that the “umpire,” appointed with the consent of both governments, should be the final arbiter in all cases in which the other two mem- bers of the commission‘could not agree.
