Two-and-a-half-year-old Courtney Oli- phant took a 150-foot plunge over an embankment yesterday and came out of it with nothing worse than a cou- ple of scratches and a headache. Playing in an automobile parked in the rear of the Pershing Apartments, Sixteenth street and Spring road, the child somehow managed to release the brakes and turned the wheels in the direction of the Rock Creek ravine, on the edge of which the apartment house stands. The car plunged down the bank, snapped a small tree in two and stopped upright 200 feet below, throwing the child out just before it stopped. Courtney, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Oliphant of Nashville, Tenn., with his parents, is visiting his aunt, Miss O. L. Oliphant, who lives in the Pershing Apartments. Crowd on Scene.

His mother ran to the window and looked out. Neither car nor child was in sight. They dashed downstairs and out at the back. Others who had heard the cry were there ahead of them, and somebody pointed down the steep bank to where the car had stopped.

Nearby the ground was covered with sharp stones and broken glass. SURVEY OF POLICE WORK IS STARTED Maj. Hesse Orders Report on Men Needed for Traf- fic Work. A general survey of the metropoll- tqn police “force to determine how many men in each of the precincts are permanently or sporadically en- gaged in traffic work and how many additional officers would be needed to assign to important unpatrolled inter- sections was started yesterday by Maj. Edwin B. Hesse, superintendent. The information is expected to be used in a campaign for an increase in the police personnel for assign- ment to traffic duty. It will be com- piled from questionnaires sent to the commanding officers of all precincts with directions that they be returned not later than Tuesday. g Seven questions are asked In the questionnaires, as follows: Number of intersections to which men are per- manently assigned for the direction and control of traffic exclusive of the street rallway crossing force; number of crossings covered during rush hours; number of points contiguous to schools covered during certain hours of the day; number of street intersections which in the judgment of the commanding officer should be covered during rush hours; number of other points contiguous to sc'ionls which should be covered durin: ‘er- tain hours, and the number of 1ien generally avallable for traffic work under normal conditions, deducting daily average of absentees. “In preparing this data,” Maj. Hesse warned the commanding officers, “careful thought and consideration should be given to existing traffic conditions at all schools and intersec- tions in your precinct.” . SECRETARY DAVIS DENIES FASCIST BAN Membership in Party Will Not Bar Italians From Citizen- ship, He Says. Dy the Associated Press. Secretary Davis of the Labor De- partment yesterday authorized the Associated Press categoricaily to deny published stories quoting him as say- fng that membership in the Fascisti League of North America should act as a bar to citizenship for Italiams applying for naturalization. Raymond F. Crist, commissioner of naturalization, said Itallan applicants for citizenship need not fear that they would be rejected if they ad- mitted membership in the Fasclstl party. The reports apparently grew out of a naturalization hearing recently in Baltimore, at which one of the appli- cants was asked if he was a member of the Fascistl group. The Labor De- partment said all of the men who un- derwent examination were admitted to citizenship. By the Associated Press. The many forelgn medals and deco rations received by Col. Charles A.

Some of the leaders in the alleged conspiracy formerly were connected with the widely known Urban Polk gang, which operated through the same territory some time ago.
