After he is alleged to have hurled stones at a boating party and threat- ened to shoot them as they were re- turning to the Floodgate Boat House. Fourteenth and Water streets, a colored | man was shot and captured last night | by a sccond precinct policeman, who | was off duty and a member of the o e colored man, who gave the name of Thomas Melvin, appeared to be in- toxicated, witnesses said. He came out of the darkness near the boat house just as Policeman C. H. Gould, 25, and members of his family prepared to land. None of the group. which included Gould's wife, a sister and his parents, could see if the man was prepared to carry out his threats to shoot them, they said. As the man neared the boat, alleged- Iy using abusive language and making | wild threats, the policeman’s father, Logan W. Gould, 45, of 35 Q street, struck at him with a plank, knocking | him into the water. Melvin then clambered up the bank and began to pelt the group with stones from the shore. Gould and his father then advanced toward him in an effort to subdue him. The policeman said he shot the man when he made a rush at him with a blunt weapon in his hand. At Casualty Hospital it was found the bullet had entered the man’s leg. Melvin, who appeared to be about 25, was said to have been in the vicinity of the boat house earlier in the evening, and was ordered away by the policeman on the beat. He is being held under ! guard at Gallinger Hospital, where he | was transferred following treatment at Casualty Hospital. WASHINGT(;V.

The flight, arranged as a part of the Bicentennial celebration, will com- memorate the 157th anniversary of the founding of the United States postal system. Miss Washington will be mak- ing her second airplane flight when the fast low-wing monoplane leaves the| ground at Kittery, the farthest point| north reached by 'her fllustrious kins-| man. Her first flight was made last| Wednesday from Washington to New York in an express monoplane of the Ludington Airlines. | The 30 packages of mail will contain letters commemorating the flight. These have airmail stamps and will carry tags | requesting the finder to deliver them| immediately to the nearest post office. It is hoped that all will bear the same cancellation date and that all will be delivered on Tuesday, the anniversary of the establishment by the Continental | Congress of the postal service, with Benjamin Franklin as the first Post- master General. Expected to Get 30 Each. The letters will be addressed to many prominent persons. It s expected that cach will receive a complete set of 30.

One purpose of the flight is to dem- onstrate the vast strides made since | establishment of the postal service. Prior to July 26, 1775, there was no general post office system. Each colony maintained its own_department under supervision of the British crown. By an act of July 26, 1775, the Continental Congress, at its second session in Phila- delphia, authorized establishment of the first general post office and on the fol- lowing day Benjamin Franklin was ap- pointed the first Postmaster General of the United States. During Washington's first term as President the Post Officc Department consisted of 75 postmas:ers, operated over less than 2,000 miles of routes, and had an annual expenditure of approxi- mately $25.000. On its 155th anniver- sary, in 1930, the Post Office Depart- ment maintained 49,063 post offices, with routes covering more than 500,000 miles and a gross financial turnover of more than $705,070.000. ‘The flight also will show the con- trast in speed of travel. Washington, considered one of the greatest travelers in the Colonies, was able to average about 20 miles a day by hard going. Doolittle expects to average 180 miles per hour and to cover 2,900 miles be- tween dawn and dusk. IN RAID FOR RUM Liquor Squad Seizes Barrel and Half of Alleged Beer in Restaurant. Raiding a restaurant in the 400 block of East Capitol street late yesterday aft- ernoon, the headquarters liquor squad arrested one woman and seized more ;’l;an a barrel and a half of alleged er. The woman arrested was Mrs. Mau- rine C. Baylen, 30, 2800 block of Thir- teenth street. She was charged with sale and possession of liquor. Lieut. George M. Little, who led the raid, said two agents of the police de- partment made a buy at the place two days ago, and a search warrant was ob- tained. The raiders found the bever- age on tap behind a bar. Forty-six bot- tles of alleged beer also were found in addition to the beverage contained in the barrel. Mrs. Baylen was released on $1,500 bond.

Mrs. Brandes and her daughter, Mrs. Brandes had a serious head in- jury, though probably not a skull frac- ture. It was said she may have in- ternal injuries as well.

Margaret, believed to have been killed outright, was burned almost beyond recogition before members of the train crew and passing motorists succeeded in extricating her body from the wreck- age, which caught fire immediately after the collision.

BULLET HOLES LEFT IN ABANDONED CAR Police Check Unexplained Marks; After Finding Auto Hit by Flee- ing Liquor Gunmen. | An automobile with six unexplained bullet holes in its body was found abandoned yesterday in the 1100 block of Eighth street The car was discovered after police had spent the day searching for an automobile at which. they believed. shots had been fired m a liquor car being chased by police | Nick Carrulli, 600 block of Hamilton street, reported he was fired upon on Michigan avenue near the entrance to | the Soldiers'’ Home grounds.
