AB\—-6 * WIELDER OF GUN THOUGHT AT LARGE Authorities of Opinion Man | Who Shot Officer Not Among Prisoners. BY JOHN T. LIPSCOMB, Staft Correspondent of The Star. CLARENDON, Va, February 13.— Although four men and one woman have been arrested in connection with the shooting by rum runners of County | Officer Raymond Crack during a wild | chase across the county into Alexan- dria, three of 'whom are being held and two released, authorities are of the opinion that the man who held the gun that felled Crack is still at large. Commonwealth Attorney Willlam C. Gloth, Sheriff Howard B. Fields, Deputy Harry L. Woodyard and Traffic Officer C. Wayne Carr, the latter Crack’s lucky companion in the chase, who is lieved to have shot one of the men, went to Baltimore yesterday and brought back Joe L. Whitehead, Harry Prlegmln. Russell Murray and Jane Ehnke, who, with Harry Sweet, suspected of being the driver of the rum car, had been arrested Wednesday night by Bal- timore police. Sweet in Hospital. Sweet is in a Baltimore hospital being treated for a bullet wound in the back, and it was thought best not to move him at this time. He persists in a story that he was shot at Laurel, Md., and abandoned his car at that place, despite the fact that the machine from which shots were fired at Crack and Carr and which was found at Shady- | side, Va., corresponds in every par- ticular, the authorities say, to the one he claims he left at Laurel, even to | the brand and amount of goods he said ‘was aboard. Murray and the Ehnke woman, who, it is alleged, were in the machine that carried the wounded Sweet to Balti- more from Washington, denied that they had any connection with the rum- running or shooting, and as the au-| thorities had no evidence to the con- trary they were released about an hour G STREET AT ELEVENTH TELEPHONE DISTRICT 4400 75 Men’s All-Wool OVERCOATS after arrival of the party at the court house late yesterday afternoon. ‘Whitehead, who was arrested when he visited the home of Sweet in Baltimore, and Friedman, who is said also to have been in the car that took Sweet to Bal- timore, were ordered held for further investigation. In custody of Deputy Woodyard and Officer Willlam Thompson they were escorted to cells at the jail nearby. Fails to Identify Men. Mrs. Willis Leffiingwell, who, with her husband, conducts the store and gasoline station at Shady Side, where the rum runners stopped for gasoline and from which point they hastily departed for the woods upon the arrival of Alexandria and Fairfax police, who had taken up the chase where Crack and Carr left off, was brought to the court house for identification purposes. She told Gloth and Fields thatthe men spentatleast5 minutes in her place, and that she was sure she could identify them. She de- clared positively that she had never before seen Murray, Friedman or ‘Whitehead after they had been paraded before her. The description furnished by Mrs. Leffingwell of one of the men, police say, fits Sweet in every way. She sald that the other man was short, heavy See Etz and See Better” EYESTRAIN CAUSES WRINKLES ‘Wrinkles mar beauty. « the newspaper or book when reading. test, but conclusive.

Mills of the Fairfax folice force. the first officer to come up to the rum car at Shady Side, who saw the men as scurried off into the woods, on the other hand, was just as positive in the men. When it was called to his at- tention by Murray that Friedman had a wooden leg, and that it would have been impossible for him to have made a getaway, Mills said that made him more convinced that he was right, as the man he saw hobbled away as though he had been shot in the leg. In the hope that he will obtain infor- mation that will lead to the positive identification and arrest of the second man in the car, Commonwealth Attor- ney Gloth went' to Baltimore again to- day to further question Sweet.

In accordance with the decision | reached by the Senate District commit- | tee, Chairman Capper late yesterday introduced in the Senate a Lill to limit the powers of the District Supreme Court in passing on public utility ap- peals. These changes in couri pro- | be reported and placed on the Senate street car merger resolution, but the committee decided to handle them separately and to have- them enacted ahead of the merger. “I think,” said Senator Capper, “the ple of Washington want a real pub- g:o utilities commission, 4and not a set of rubber stamps. I believe this bill will Strengthen the morale of the com- mission, and put teeth in its decisions. 1t is a much-needed reform, and I sin- cerely' hope it will receive early and favorable action by the Senate.” ‘The amendments have been described | to the committee by the commission as intended to prevent the court from assing on the facts as well as the aw in utility appeals, except where constitutional questions were involved. ‘The text of the merger resolution, is being perfected in accordance with amendments tgre!d to by the commit~ tee and probably will be in shapz to calendar next week. ‘Trade of the United States and Latin America last year totaled more than 00, breaking all record: WASHINGTON FLOWERS TO BE IN BLOOM SOON With Favorable Weather Crocus Will Be Out March 15 and Tulips Will Follow.
