AUTO DASHESINTO

MRS. LEO M'DANlEL AND MISS
VALE NARROWLY ESCAPE
SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
TRYING TO AVOID one
Car Fender Broke Large Plate Glass
Front of n. N. CaIhoun's Drug
Store at Eighth and Wash
ington Avenue.

In endeayoring to avoid running
over passengers who alighted from an
electric car at Eighth street and
Washington avenue, last evening
about o'clock Mrs. Leo Mcdaniel
ran her automobile onto the sidewalk
in front of H. NJ Calhoun's drug store
demolishng the plate glass front OF
the building.
Mrs Mcdaniel and her sister Miss
Katherine Vale were in the automo-
bile and the former was driving. As
they turned into Eighth street from
Washington avenue a Poplar street
car just preceding them, stopped and
a woman alighted from the car. In
order to avoid running over the wom-
an, Mrs. Mcdaniel steered her auto
to the south side of the electric car
and just at that moment a man
jumped off the street car on that side.
Seeing that serious accident was
about to occur as the auto was al
with rare presence of mind steered
her car toward a telephone pole
thinking to stop it but instead the car
veered enough to escape the pole and
to dash into the plate glass front of
the drug store. The end of fender
struck the glass and the big window
went gathering down to the pavement
in large pieces
The escape of the two young ladies
from terrible injury and perhaps
death was due entirely to the fact
that Mrs. Mcdaniel kept good control
1f her machine putting on the brakes
at once.
Fortunately no one was occupying
The seats in front of the window on
he interior of the store as is GUS
ON or there would have been double
hanger of serious results.
Now that an entrance has been |
ormed at the corner of the building. |
Mr.. Calhoun has decided to have a |
permanent entrance made at that |
,oint which will be decided i'm |
over the present arrange |
nent.

Especially Gov. Burleigh is the Joint
author of u recent report on additions
to parks in Washington which is re-

question of adequate PARKS has become
a vital one to modern cities and like
wise to Washington, where there has
been deal of agitation about it.
AS this Commission. which was COM
posed Of Representatives Bartholdt
Burleigh and Bankhead, and Senators
Scott, Gallinger, and Blackburn, re-
ported in favor of charging Rock
Creek park. which is an enormous
tract of land extending far to the north
OF the city. their recommendation will
probably be embodied in law before
long Gov. Burleigh took a leading
part in the investigation of conditions
and in framing the recommendations,
which are as follows:
To the Congress: Your joint COM

act to increase the limit of cost Of
certain public buildings, etc, to take
into consideration the advisability of

Creek park, the so-called Meridian Hill
site, the so-called Carpenter and
Pennsylvania Avenue Heights tracts,
and the so-called Montrose tract on
Georgetown Heights, for park purposes,
beg leave to report as follows:
Your committee has given much at
tentiOn to the hearings held at various
times before the District committees Of
both Houses, and after thoroughly ex-

a careful personal inspection of each
of the proposed sites.
1T found i'll reference to the PROPOSE
ton for the purchase of the so-called
Carpenter tract that beyond the eastern
branch of the Anacostia river there is
no large public park and that there is
a popular demand and necessity for
such reservation. This tract is
beautifully located. covered with tim

the city. 1t contains about 40 acres
and can be purchased at a much lower
price now than in the future.
