16 THE . EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. RECKLESS AUTOIS CAUGHT BY POLICE Baltimorean, Alleged Rum Driver, Given 13 Months in Court for Traffic Offenses. Speeding through the streets last night, leaving seven damaged automo- biles in its wake and a host of badly frightened pedestrians, a rum-laden car, driven by a_young man who said he was William Weis of 15.West Pres- ton street, Baltimore, Md., was finally overtaken by a police car at Thir- teenth and E streets, where Weis was captured. The other occupant of the ear escaped. Weis was said to have been en route from Baltimore to Richmond with 480 quarts of corn whisky, reported found in his car. The automobile, with sagging springs, was noticed moout 7 o'clock at Bladensburg road and Morse street northeast by Sergt George M. Little and his flying liquor squadron. The police car set off in pursuit, and Weis was overtaken at Thirteenth and H streets northeast. He was informed of the identity of the police and ordered to draw over to the curb. For answer, he rammed the police car, pushing it out of the way, and the ‘mad flight through the center of the city began with the po- lice but a short distance behind. Taken to Court. After capture, Weis was taken to the sixth precinct where charges were entered against him. Then he was escorted to Traffic Court. Swinging jauntily into the court room with a cigarette between his lps, he arraigned before Judge Mciahon on six counts, one of reckless driving. one of failure to show z vermit and | four of leaving after coliling. As the apparently carefree 23-year- old driver jotted down cn a piece of paper and computel the total sen- tence, Judge McMahon pronounced sentences of 30 days on the reckless driving charge, 90 days each on three other charges of ing after collid- ing, 90 days or $500 on the fourth charge of leaving after colliding, and on the count of failure to show a drivers permit the judge took his per- sonal bond. Severe Sentence Given. The total sentence of 390 days is the most severe ever imposed in a traffic case. Assistant United States Attorney Raymond Neudecker announced that Weis would be arraigned for the ille- gal possession and transportation of liquor Saturday morning, and that he will ask for a sentence of one year, execution of the term to begin at the end of the 13 months imposed by Judge McMahon last night. Cars struck by the flying rum car belonged to Henry A. Herring, 1201 Q street, whose car was almost com- pletely demolished; William H. Kritch, 1012 C street southwest, whose car was badly damaged: Joseph E. Smith, 818 U street southeast, and the police car, which besides Sergt. Little, con- tained Policeman Leo Murray and George Deyoe, the driver, and Revenue MOfficer R. F. Cornett. The owners of the three other cars hit did not prefer charges. ‘When the police started in pursuit, _ the driver turned south on Holbrook Btreet to Florida avenue and on to Clothiers Fined $125 for Loaning On Bonus Paper By the Assoclated Press. KANSAS CITY, Kans., December 1.—A scheme by which they ob- tained loans on adjusted compen- sation certificates for World War veterans who purchased suits and overcoats at their store cost David H. Friedman and Lee R. Samuel, Topeka, fines of $125 each in Fed- eral Court here yesterday. After several Topeka banks had refused to make loans on the cer- tificates the clothiers advertised their plan last Spring. About 80 veterans took advantage of the offer. The loans were arranged by the clothiers through a bank. Violation of the section of the compensation law making it a mis- demeanor to collect a fee for ob- taining loans was charged in the indictment against the merchants. The Government contended the profit on the clothing sold under the plan constituted a fee. SHIPPING NEWS Arrivals at and Sailings From New York.

BOSTON RATE CUT MEETS OPPOSITION Three Cities in Fight Against Lower Water-Borne Charges. Lower rates from Boston on water- borne traffic, sought by the Maritime Association of Boston, met with the opposition of Philadelphia, Baltimore and Norfolk at a hearing before the United States Shipping Board yester- day. Wilbur. Laroe, representing the New York port authorities, asked that if any change is made in the Boston rate, that the same be made effective from New York. Joseph W. Powell, chairman of the ){lux'llime Association of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, declared that since the Interstate Commerce Com- mission made its rail rates on a basis of distance and cost, water rates should have the same basis. He said that it cost $800 additional and re- quired 1% days more time to put an 8,000-ton boat into Philadelphia or Baltimore than into Boston. Edgar J. Rach, general counsel for the Assoclation of Industries of Mas- 2| sachusetts, said that New England ports were not asking for any legal rights, but were entering a petition which, if granted, would work for national devolopment of a merchant marine. ~ Andrew J. Peters, former mayor of Boston and president®of the Boston Chamber of Commerce, pointed out that under present rates the major Portion of New England tex- tiles were being shipped through New :’nrk when the logical pgrt was Bos- on R. E. Lee Marshall of the Baltimorq Maritime Association opposed the pe- tition, declaring that the Shipping Board should not be hurried into any rate changes and that it was “com- mercial anemia” and not unfair rates that was causing the decline of Bos- ton shipping. H. J. Wagner, counsel for the Port 6 | Commission of Norfolk, also opposed the Boston proposal, while George W. Edmonds and C. C. McChord presented the opposition of Philadelphia. George F. Feeney, director of the port of Portland, Me., asked that any rate change made for Boston be made effective for Portland. He said Port- land shipping had declined 60 per cent since 1923 on account of the freight rate and the consideration given (‘m;‘!dlnn ports by Canadian rail- roads, Senator Gillett of Massachusetts was a2 member of the Boston delega- tion, but did not address the board.
