POLICE SEIZE SUSPECT; ARM NEARLY SEVERED Seventeen Robberies or Attempted Robberies in 24 Hours—Serv- ice Station Held Up. Three colored bandits who attempted to hold up a store at 1256 Ninth street last night, became so terror-stricken that they door when the proprietor, instead of handing over the contents of his cash register, attacked them with a butcher knife, wounding two of them. One of the trio, his arm almost am- putated, was arested when he ep- plied for treatment at Freedmen’s Hos- pital shortly after the attempted hold- up, whieh was one of 17 robberies and robbery attempts during the last 24 hours. The loot obtained in the series of hold-ups and burglaries totaled ap- proximately $3,000 in cash, jewelry and clothing. ‘The Pasternak woman’s clothing store, 1219 Connecticut avenue, was the scene of one of the burglaries, the robbers having been frightened away by a burglar alarm after they had piled about a dozen expensive dresses in an alley in the rear. A check-up by Alfred Pasternak, proprietor, disclosed a few dresses were missing. Encountered When Alone. ‘The Ninth street storekeeper, Gelice D. Caprino, was alone when the colored men walked in and demanded his money. Despite the fact one of them had him covered with a revoler, Ca- prino seized his butcher knife and rushed them. The ensuing battle was short as it was furious. The bancit with the gun struck Caprino on the head with the butt of tg‘: ‘wea] but the blow falled to stop winging. Cut and bleeding, two of the men suddenly turned and fled, and their companion decided to do likewise. Reaching the doot, the men, apparently so0 frightened they could not find the handle, found it impossible to get away without leaping headforemost through the glass panel. A short time later a man answering the description of cne of the bandits was taken to Freedmen's, where it was found one of his arms had been nearly severed. Identifying himself as Willlam Hill, he was placed under police guard, and detectives said they would questi him extensively as soon as his condi- tion improved sufficlently. He was said to have admitted participation in the hold-up try. 3 Gervice Store Robbery. Clsarles E.

Forcing Newby into the cellar, and warning him to stay there for half an hour, the bandit fled. Soon as the ban- dit left, however, Newby telephoned po- lice. ‘Eleanor D'Alfonso, 1350 Newton street, ‘was robbed of $14 last night by a man who threatened her while she was walk- ing in an alley in rear of the 3300 block of Fourteenth street.

Wales of the Civil Service Commission, who yesterday reached the retirement age of 70 years, today was granted a ccntinuance President’ Hoover. At the same time it was reported that ‘Wales, who passed 37 years in the com- mission, submitted his resignation’ as commissioner to the President. Although Wales would not comment cn this, it was suggested in an informed quarter that by tais move, should the resignation be accepted, the veteran commi‘gioner would be eligible for another governmental post. Had he been retired the economy act would have barred reappointment. It was becausc Wales, who entered the commission as a clerk, had risen through the ranks, thus maintaining his Civil Service status, that he was affected by the retirement clause of the economy act. This provides for sever- ance from the service at 70 unless the President grants continuance on the ground that public interest warrants such action. This does not apply to presidential appointees coming from outside the service. William H. McReynolds, director of classification cf the Personnel Classi- fication Board, beiore it was merged intc the Civil Service Commission in October, has been reported to be under consideration for the commissionership. McReynolds, who is engaged in special work in the Budget. Bureau, has de- clined to comment on the matter. Wales has held a number of im- portant posts at the commission and ‘was appointed a commissioner by Presi- dent Wilson in 1919. He is a Republican and a native of Vermont. McReynolds also is a Republican and comes from Michigan. The commission, made up of three members, customarily has two members from the majority party in power and one from the minority. ‘Thomas E. Campbell, the president, is the other Republican and Miss Jessie i Dell is the Democrat. |AUTO INJURIES FATAL -TO MRS. F. H.

HRDLICKA TO SPEAK | SEIZED BY AGENTS ON SEVENTH PLAGE 200 Bottles of Champagne and 1,100 Quarts of Whisky Are Included. LEGALITY QUESTIONED ON LACK OF WARRANT Driver Arrested in One of Largest Seizures Ever Made in District. One of the largest seizures of fine liquors and wines ever made in the District, valued at approximately $13,- 000 at bootleg prices, was reported by prohibition agents in Police Court to- day. The raid occurred late last night. Included in the seizure, which the officers made in the 5000 block of Sev- enth place, was about 1,100 quarts of assorted whiskies and gin, 200 bottles of champagne and other wines and about 80 gallons of grain alcohol. Place Under Observation. According to members of the raiding squad, headed by Deputy Prohibition Administrator William R. Blandford, they had the Seventh place house un- der observation for some time and saw a car emerge from a garage in the rear. They followed it to Seventh and Farragut streets, where the ma- chine was halted. The driver of the automobile, Bert Levin, 27, of the 1000 block of E street, was arrested on a charge of transport- ing liquor after the officers reported finding 33 quarts in the vehicle. The case nst Levin was continued until December 2, when he appeared for ar- raignment before Judge Ralph Given today. He was released under $1,500 bond. After arresting Levin, the agents, al- though they did not possess a warrant to search, returned to the Seventh rlsce house and hauled away the iquor. The find included Scotch, Bourbon, Canadian Club and fine ryes and filled two patrol wagons. Raid’s Legality Questioned. As the officers entered the place without a warrant, Attorney Harold Hawken, who also appeared as counsel for Levin, sald he would question the legality of the seizure when the case came up for hearing. , however, was not charged with possessing the huge amount of contraband liquors which the officers seized at the house. It was reported no one was on the premises at the POLICE TO COMPILE DATA ON ACCIDENTS Records to Be Kept of Number and Type of Traffic Mishaps in City. s Statistical records of the number and type of automobile accidents occurring in each section of the city will be com- piled by the Police Department begin- January 1. step is being taken in order that precautionary and preventive steps may be taken at any place or section where a great many accidents have occurred. Regular form sheets have been de- signed for keeping the new type of records, suggested by J. E. G. Nefl, Police Department statistician, and ap- proved by Supt. of Police Ernest W. Brown. With the new file of statistics on hand at police headquarters it will be possible to ascertain at a glance the exact number of automobile accidents, their cause, the number of deaths and injuries at any particular location. Where the number of acci- dents is high, precautionary measures would then be taken at that particular location, it was pointed out. Physical characteristics at and near the intersections where the accidents occur, such as street widths, pavement widths, characters of vision obstruc- tions and various other items will be tabulated in the statistics as an aid to the authorities in remedying in so far as possible any conditions responsible for the traffic mishaps. Asst. Supt. of Police L. I. H. Edwards, in discussing plans for the new sta- tistics, said the data compiled would be of great aid to the authorities in plan- ning remedial steps in reducing the number of accidents.
