E. Bennett of the eleventh precinct was forced to abandon pursuit of a suspected rum car which he was chasing along Pennsylvania avenue at a mile-a-minute clip last night when the pursued car threw out a dense smoke screen which temporarily blinded the policeman. He brought his motor cycle to a stop at Eleventh street and Pennsylvania avenue south- east without a mishap. ‘The driver of the car. whom police said they believe they know, passed the policeman west of Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge in Southeast, and led him a chase all through the streets of Southeast Washing- ton, dodging in and out of al- leys, turning down side streets and finally outdistancing the po- liceman, who was left in clouds of smoke. BROWN TODISCUSS PARKING BAN PLAN ‘lnspector S Talk Tonight Will| Deal With Proposal for F and G Sections. Furthering the Police Department move in sounding public opinion on & proposal to ban parking on midtown | sections of F and G streets for the 10-day period preceding Christmas, | | Inspector W. W. Brown of the Traflicl Bureau will discuss the matter tonight at a meeting of the Traffic Council at 8 o'clock in headquarters of the Ameri- can Automobile Association. ‘The question of whether the regula- tion would be acceptable to business men already has been submitted by the Traffic Bureau to the thres trade bodies. The opinion among policemen who handle the midtown traffic is that the holiday rush of shoppers will result in bad jams at the peak hours under present regulations. It will be virtually impossible to keep | automobiles and street cars moving during the day on the affected streets, Inspector Brown believes. The Traffic Bureau has tentative | plans to prohibit parking during the day on F and G between Ninth and Fourteenth or Fifteenth streets. This | would not exclude stops for passengers to alight or the unloading of trucks. Under present regulations, Inspector Brown said, F and G streets in the rush season will be crowded with motorists on futile quests for parking space. He said that a comparatively small number of motorists will be able to find fnrklns space on either street even with the one-hour rule in effect. Whether the Police Department will submit the proposal to the Commission- ers for approval will be determined by the relctlon of buslneu men m the plan. SENATOR'S. SON SUED. Lawrence C.

FIRST LIGHT CRUISER TO BE INDIANAPOLIS | Delegation From Massachusetts Sought to Have Vessel Chris- tened Quincy. The name Indianapolis has been assigned to the first of the 15 light cruisers, recently authorized by Con- gress, Secretary Adams of the Navy announced today. This vessel is being constructed by the New York Ship- building Co. at Camden, N. J. ‘The only other new cruiser being built at the present time is being con- structed by the Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation at Fore River, Mass. No name has as yet been assigned to this vessel. A movement is afoot to have this cruiser named the Quincy, and inas- much as Secretary Adams is a former mayor of that city proponents of this plan believe they have a strong friend at court. Recently a delegation from Quincy, Mass., called upon President Hoover and Secretary Adams and pre- sented & petition signed by more than 30,000 persons urging that the new cruiser be called Quincy. There are some 20 cities and towns over the Na- tion named Quincy, they said, and this name has never been given to an Amer- ican cruiser. ‘These two cruisers are the only craft | to go forward at this time, in view of | the discussion relating to naval dis- armament.

C, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1929, SULLIVAN: SEAT CHALLENGE SEEN Sentiment Favors Him Take Place, Despite State Law on Appointment. | With Patrick Sullivan expected here | next week to fill temporarily the seat | in the Senate left vacant by the death | of Senator Warren of Wyoming, law- | vers in the Senate are stuying the ques- | ton of whether the Governor of Wyo- | ming had a right under the State law to make an appointment in this in- stance pending an election. While a contest is in prospect, there are indica- tions of much sentiment in favor of seating him. The contest threatens to be based on the Wyoming statute adopted during the administration of a recent Demo- cratic governor, Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, which stipulates that the governor can flll a vacancy of Con only when it occurs during a session. Senator War- ren died during the week's recess be- tween the extra and the regular ses- sions. Sullivan_ was appointed by Gov. Emerson, a Republican. Senator Walsh of Montana, the as- sistant Democratic leader and a noted lawyer, expressed the view today after an examination of the precedents that the weight of opinions favored the legality of Sullivan's appointment. t is true that Congress was not in fon. whe Senstor Warren died and the vacancy occurred,” explained Sen- ator Walsh. “Nevertheless it seems to be held that even though a vacancy began during the recess, it continued to exist until Congress was in session at which | time the appointment was made. In| my judgment the weight of the prece- | dents involved will entitle the appointee to A seat.” Senator George, Democrat of Georgia, a mémber of the elections committ expressed the view that the question | was one which would have to be settled by the elections committee. He believed Sullivan would be challenged, but ex- pressed the view that the appointee would be allowed to, take the oath of office and serve during consideration of the dispute. Sullivan’s appointment holds good only until a successor is selected at a special election called for next month by Gov. Emerson. Consequently, unless a quick decision is reached by the Sen- | ate, his term will have been com pleted. 500 Hats For Every Hour of the Day Many Materials .
