The taxi driver charged $lO and Mr. Pope gave him $7 more. He got neither of their names. Several hours later the customer rame in on his way home and had chili and beer.

CITY POLICE ON TRAIL OF FATAL HIT-RUN DRIVER

Handful of Broken Glass May Lead to Arrest in Lentz’ Death. With a handful of broken glass, a shrewd deduction and the co-opera-tion of all garage owners in Indianapolis and as far west as Terre Haute, police today pursued the trail of the man who Tuesday night struck and killed Eugene Lentz, i well-known gardener. Mr. Lentz was killed in front of his home, 3801 W. Morris-st, by a driver who a moment before had | emerged from the nearby West Side j Barbecue, a tavern. Fred Stump, proprietor, told Sergeants Harry Smith and Barrett Ball of the police department, that he had not noticed who left at the time in question. However, the officers have deduced that the car was of anew low-slung type with a low front bumper, from the fact that both of Mr. Lentz's legs were broken below the knees. They have asked all garage owners in Indianapolis and surroundI ing communities to report immej diately when anew type car, gray j in color, is brought to them to have | a windshield and headlight lenses j replaced and btimppr straightened. Meanwhile, the Sheriff’s office has | interested itself in the case and today an investigating squad was cooperating with police in a detailed combing of the neighborhood of the Lentz home on the theory the car may be found in a private garage of the owner. Mr. Lentz was the 127th traffic fatality in Marion County this year. Services will be at 1 tomorrow at the home and at 2 at St. Paul’s Reformed Church. Burial will be in Crown Hill.
