The Foening Star WITH SUNDAY MORNING EDITION WASHINGTON, D. C, DOWNTONN BAN ONBUSSESHAY BE TESED N COURTS Utilities Commission’s Let- ters to Company Meet Scant Responses. ORDER IS EFFECTIVE AFTER NEXT 37 DAYS Interstate Carriers Not Allowed to Use Terminals in Congested Area After April 1. With only 37 days remaining before the Public Utilities Commission order goes into effect barring interstate busses from street terminals in the congested section, there is yet no defi- nite prospect that any of the inter- state companies intend to comply with the order. and the commission is ex- pecting some court test to be made. although none as yet has been actually threatened. Two weeks ago the commission di- rected letters to be sent to all of the operators here, asking for a statement | in writing by March 1 as to the in- tentions of each operator With respect to selection of a new terminal. Termi- nals in the first congested zone will be barred April 1. Only Two Responses. Since the letters were written, only two of the operators have communi- cated with the commission in any way on the subject. One of them wrote saying he would call on the commis- sion later. He has not called. A second called on the commission yesterday and asked Chairman Mason M. Patrick what the change was of a delay in en- forcing the order. Gen. Patrick re- plied he did not intend to allow any delay. The order was published August 15, 1931, so the operators will have had seven and a half months’ notice of the change. On and after April 1 no class A bus will be allowed to use a terminal, whether on the street or on private property, in the area bounded by the east curb of Seventh street, the south curb of H street and New York avenue to Fifteenth street, the west curb of Fifteenth ctreet to Pennsylvania avenue and the south curb of Pennsylvania avenue to Seventh street. Busses of Class A. The class A busses include all inter- state busses on regular routes and schedules entering Washington, except the busses connecting Washington with suburban points in Maryland and Vir- ginia, such as Alexandria, Hyattsville, Silver Spring, Chevy Chase and the ike. On and after August 1 no class A bus will b2 allowed to stop on the street to | up and unload passangers in the | parking zene, althcugh they will | wed to have terminals there cn | property. t is understood at the District Build- eyhound busses will move to 2 e to comply with / stop on the side of New Ycrk avenue between Fourteenth and Thirteenth streets. | There is no official confirmation of | this, however, and no word whatsoever as to any of the other lines.

Two policemen were injured early today when their automobile, enveloped in a cloud of smoke let loose by a sup- posed liquor-laden car which they had pursued for more than a mile. crashed into a truck at Sixth and K streets northeast. Those hurt in the smash-up, which occurred shortly before 3 o'clock, are: Pvt. Carlton E. Thorne, 39, Anacostia, and Pvt. Homer L. Pearson, 28, of 1444 W street southeast, both of the eleventh precinct. The driver of the truck, James C. Lantz, 19, of 1516 D street northeast, escaped injury. Climaxes Wild Pursuit. | The crash climaxed a spectacular | chase begun at Benning road and Ken- ilworth avenue northeast. The police machine, with Thorne at the steering wheel, and Pearson beside him, was parked at the west end of | Benning Bridge when a small road- | ster bearing Virginia license plates drove beneath the span. | When the automobile failed to halt | at the “stop™ sign at the intersection | of Benhing road and Kenilworth ave- | nue, the officers started in pursuit. Noticing the police car heading toward him, the driver of the fugitive machine stepped on the accelerator | and both zutomcbiles roared down Ben- | ning road, headed for the city. Smoke Fails to Halt Police. As the police car began to creep up on the flecing machine, the driver opened his smoke-screen device. De- spite the heavy clouds of smoke hurled at them by the fleeing machine, how- ever, the policemen continued the chase. The speeding automobiles were head- ed toward the downtown section when they reached Sixth and K streets north- east. The supposed rum car cleared the intersection, but the police car, its driver blinded by the smoke, crashed into the truck and was virtually de- molished. The truck, owned by Carl Weissmuel- ler, 1444 W street southeast, and bound north on Sixth street, was only slightly damaged. Both Taken to Hospital. Both officers were taken to Casuall Hospital—Thorne in a machine oper- ated by Alfred E.- Moses, 33¢ E street southeast, and Pearson in one driven by Charles E. Whitaker, 1700 Lyman street northeast. They were treated by Dr. William E. Bowman, who found Thorne had a possible fractured vertebrae and a minor leg injury, while Pearson is suf- fering from several fractured ribs, cuts and bruises. Police are endeavoring to check up on the license number of the supposed liquor automobile. TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS CAUSE ONE DEATH Colored Victim of Taxi Succumbs. Two Women Among Yes- terday's Injured.

Piremen today were searching the wreckage of a building at 1300 Eleventh street southeast on the possibility that | a woman may lie buried in the ruins from wrich the body of Frank Price, colored, 40 years old, was removed yes- terday after an explosion demolished the place. Police reported that & woman Was |seen to enter the automobile wrecking plant with Price, an employe, shortly after midnight Monday and a few hours before a mysterious blast leveled the | walls of the two-story brick structure and precipitated a fire which quickly spread through the debris. Found Nine Hours Later. The body of the colored man was found nine hours after the explosion, badly crarred and buried under the crumbling walls and timbers. Firemen did not suspect that any one had been inside the building until Price’s wife reported him missing from his home in Fairmont Heights, Md. Evidence uncovered by firemen indi- cated that the explosion originated in a coal stove toward the front of the building. It is possible, they said, that Price attempted to revive a blaze in the stove with gasoline or kerosene. The blast rocked the neighborhood about 3 o'clock yesterday morning throwing gless and other bits of debris for 100 yards and completely leveling the builcdag. $35,000 Loss Estimated. Price’s wife told police he was with her about 10 o'clock Monday night and | took her home, saying he was going to drive “out to Maryland” to spend the night. The establishment, owned by Jake Levin, was known as the Penn Auto Wreckers Co. Levin estimated the building and stock to be worth $35,000, about $12,500 of which was covered by insurance. W. M.

TWO CHIEF FEATURES OF MEASURE STRESSED Proof of Firancial Responsibility Required of Drivers in Serious Offenses. Tre bill to promote street safety in Washington by requiring drivers who are convicted of serious traffic offenses | to show proof of financial responsibility | before they drive again will be reported | favorably by the Senate District Com-‘f mittee as soon as perfecting amend- | ments suggested at a public hearing yesterday afternoon have been made. After spokesmen for various civie jand trade organizations had indorsed the legislation, Chairman Capper point- ed out that the committee approved a similar measure last year and he favor- ed reporting it to the Senate again. Senator Kean, Republican of New Jer- sey, then made the motion that it be reported, with several amendments, which were suggested by Assistant Cor- poration Counsel Vernon West and concurred in by supporters of the bill. Two Essential Features. The bill has two essential features. Pirst, motorists convicted cf reckless driving, driving under the influence of liquor or drugs, or leaving the scene of an accident in which personal injury occurs without making identity known, would have their permits withheld until they satisfy the authorities of their ability to respond thereafter in dam- ages. Second, failure of a person to satisfy a judgment arising from an acci- dent subsequent to the passage of the act would result in the right to drive being suspended while such judgment remains unsatisfied and until the per- son gives proof of ability to respond in damages in the future. Thcse who appeared in support of the bill included George W. Offutt, American Automobile Association; L. W. Strahley, American Motorists’ Asso- clation; E. D. Merrill, Washington Chamber of Commerce; Charles G. Col- lins, vice chairman of the Traffic Com- mitiee of the Board of Trade: Joseph Pitzgerald, jr., Federation of Citizens jations; Evan H. Tucker, North- ‘Washington Citizens' Association, and Herbert L. Davis, superintendent of insurance. Changes Suggested. Mr, Pitzgerald said the federation be- lieved the minimum judgment to which the bill would apply should be reduced’ from $100 to $20. Other supporters of | the bill expressed the hope this change | would not be made. The federation suggested two other changes, relaling to the procedure of serving legal notices. Supporters of the bill emphasized that it seeks to protect the public from careless and reckless drivers without | penalizing careful motorists. Legisla- | tion along similar lines has been en- acted by 18 States. The committee also considered a bill yesterday to require insurance organiza- tions which are incorporated under the laws of the District to keep their books and records in the District, to facilitate inspection. Senator Kean suggested the bill be rewritten to specify the rec- ords to be kept here, so that the meas- ure would not work unnecessary hard- ships. POLICE COMB CITY FOR JIMMY THIEF Wave of Burglaries Regarded as Work of New Expert From Other City. An intensified police search was un- der way today for an expert “lone wolf” jimmy thief, believed by detectives to be the perpetrator of numerous bur- glaries reported in the last two months. The thief, believed to have come here from some large Eastern or Mid- ‘western city, has manipulated his jimmy so_skillfully’ that hardly a mark has been left on doors and windows he has pried open, according to police. Further bolstering their belief the thief is an “artist” in his craft, detec- tives pointed out that in many in- stances he neglected cheaper articles of jewelry, concentrating his efforts solely on_more expensive gems. Police believe the burglar is removing diamonds and other precious stones from the jewelry he steals and ship- ping them out of town for disposal. The gold, they say, probably is being melted and sold to “fences.” The latest jewelry theft reported to police was that of a diamond ring val- ued at $100 from the home of Lena Taylor, 3022 Sherman avenue, yester- day. Clothing worth $47 also was stolen from a roomer in the house, James T. Walker, Wearing apparel worth $35 was reported stolen from the apartment of Juan Silva, fourth floor, 2121 H street. Russell Preide, Newark, N. J., report- ed the theft of a bag of clothing valued at $100 from the lobby of 1018 Four- feenth street last night. 3 503 Hold-up men robbed Eugene Plerce, a colored taxi driver of 1 Ninth street, of $16 early today after he had driven them from Ninth and E streets to Second and Webster streets. The description of the two white men given police by Pierce tallies with those given by others robbed under similar circumstances in the last few days. DR. CUTTER HONORED Mt.

More than a thousand applications were expected before the close of the day. built under the supervision of Col Peter M. Anderson, consulting engineer and one of the trustees of the Gospel Mission. There will be no subcontras tors, and all funds for bulding pu | poses will be spent for labor and ma- terials only. The cost has been esti- | mated at $150,000 The Mission will pay a wage scale reached by averaging the pre-war union and non-union scales, and adding 40 | per cent to meet the increased cost of living. It is expected, according to Col Anderson, that labor for other protects in the District may be provided from among today's registrants. | The Gospel Mission is not a bene- ficiary of th? Community Chest, and funds for the building project will repres sent voluntary contributions. The dif- | ference between the Mission wage scale | and that paid to union workers in the | | ! | building trades will be classed as labor’s donation to the building_ cost. | " Application has already been made | for a building permit and actual work | will start as soon as it is issued, it as announced today.

Two bills, one for the preservation of Analostan Island, in the Potomac River, as a natural park in memory of the late Theodore Roosevelt and the other authorizing the General Soclety, Sons of the Revolution, to erect a monu- ment here indicating the historic sig- nificance of the Chesapeake & Ohlo Canal, were approved today by the Sen- | ate Library Committee. Analostan Island, situated between the Arlington Memorial Bridge and the Key Bridge, has been purchased by the Roosevelt Memorial Association, whizh will turn it over to the Government as a gift to the people of the country as soon as the pending legislation is enacted. Early Action Expected. Senator Fess of Ohio, chairman of the committee, will report both bills to the Senate without delay, and it is ex- pected early action will be taken on them. The name of Analostan Island will be changed to Roosevelt Island, and placed under the director of Pul Buildings and Public Parks, to be pre- served as nearly as possible in its natural state. Authority will be given to the Roosevelt Memorial Association to erect on the island at som= future time a suitable monument or other me- morial to the memory of the former President, subject to the approval of the Fine Arts Commission and the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission. The director is authorized by the bill to provide suitable means of access to and upon the island, as ap- propriations are made available for that purpose. Only One Change Made. The Senate Committee made only one change in the bill, striking out a proviso to the effect no structure, road or other artificial treatment could be made on the island without the approval of the Memorial Association. The committee substituted a new proviso, as follows: “That no general plan for the de- velopment of the island be adopted without the approval of the Roosevelt Memorial Association, and that, so long as this association remains in existence, no development inconsistent with this plan be executed without the associa- tion's cansent.” The ofher bill authorizes the director of public buildings and parks to select. with the approval of the Park and Planning Commission, a site for a monument to commemorate the his- torical significance of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and to grant permis- sion_to the General Society, Sons of the Revolution, to erect an appropriate monument as a gift to the United States. The monument would be erect- ed under the supervision of the director of public buildings and parks, but at no expense to the Government.

New gifts aggregating $510.25, re- ceived by the Community Chest yes- terday, increased the total to $2.415,- 045.15, leaving a deficit of $185,954.85 in the campaign for $2,601,000. “Every penny that is contributed to the Chest in this manner will be badly needed,” said Elwood Street, Chest di- rector, “With our welfare agencies facing demands for relief which are 77 per cent greater than those of last year, it can readily be seen that there will be a place for all the money that can be obtained for the Chest. We hope that people who have not given because of absence from the city or for another cause will send their con- tributions to Chest headquarters.” Solicitors Praised. New donations included: $100, anony- mous; $1, anonymous; $15, I Binde- mar ,'Gloria_Garcia; $1, Maria L.! | Gilman; Willard A. Holbrook: | $10, C. G. Jensen, jr.

Letters commending all the volunteer | solicitors for the subscriptions they ob- tained were written by Edward F. Col- laday, campaign chairman. He point- ed out more mcney was obtained during the drive than in any other similar| campaign in the history of Washington. You have done the best job I have ever seen done in a campaign for any civic or welfare purpose,” Mr. Colladay said. “As a group you were faithful,| loyal, willing, enthusiastic. You stuck to your job for a week beyond the sched- | uled time. You proved those qualities | of civic loyalty and devotion that make Washington a great community.” Suggestions Requested. The chairman requested suggestions | for the next campaign. “We get wonderful ideas for organiza- tion and contatt work from the people who are out in the field actually brush- ing shoulders with the contributors,” | said Mr. Street. “We always ask for suggestions at the end of the campaign and find them most valuable.” IDENTIFY YUDELEVIT IN POLICE SHOOTING | Watchman, Taxi Driver and Offi- cer Pick Him Out of Line-up. Picked out of a police line-up last night as the man who was with John Kendrick when Policeman T. D. Bacon was shot in the leg by Kendrick last Friday, Harry Yudelevit, 28, of the 1500 block of Allison street, was being held |at the tenth precinct station under a | technical charge of investigation oday while police conferred with the District attorney’s office. Those who claimed to have identified Yudelevit last night were Charles Flan- nigan, night watchman; Rowland Darling, a taxicab driver, and Bacon himself. Darling told police Yudelevit met him about a block from the scene of the ing, which occurred in the 600 block of E street, and gave him $25 to take him uptown, CHEST SHORTAGE | Yudelievit, according to police, says he had been with Kendrick some time prior to the shooting, but denies he was near the scene of the shooting with him. Yudelevit, who was questioned early |this month in connection with the wounding of Henry Abrams on Buchanan street, walked into police headquarters yesterday after learning police were looking for him in connection with the shooting of Bacon. On the previous oc- casion Abrams and his companion, Wil- liam P. Moses, failed to identify Yudel- evit as participating in that affair. GILL RITES HELD Former Employe of Star Buried at Arlington.
