May Mean Removal of Many
Poles From King
Street
PLAN IS SUBMITTED
Plans For Cable With Iron Poles or
Reunion at Charlottesville Pay Tri-
butte to Great Leader.

Preliminary plans for "White
Way" on King street, were discus
sed last night at meeting OF, a
special committee appointed some
time ago for that purpose by the
chamber of commerce. The meeting
was reid in the rooms of the cham.
be- ct commerce and called to order
by Captain George H. Evans, busi-
ness manager of the chamber of
commerce. r. r. Robinson, repre-
scnting the Western Unino Tele-
graph Company, appeared and cx-
pia:ned his ideas aobut the poles on
King street, Mr.. Robinson told the
committee that he would submit to
his company two propositions re.
earding the poles, one of which Will
be 10 replace the present wooden
poles with iron poles and have all
ot the company's wires on that thor
uughfare in cable. The other is
t, remove all of the company's wires
off King street and transfer them
to Cameron street.
In the event they substituted iron
poles Tor the present ones IL Is std
ted that where there are eight or
ten wooden poles now on square
on King street there probably would
not be more than six.
II also would mean that should
they remove their poles the Alex
andria County Lighting Company
and Washington-Eirginia Railway
Company probably would have
hne or iron poles to take the place
Of the wooden ones now used.
After all Of the plans are mapped
out this committee will submit the
matter to the city council for final
action.

lice Last Saturday.

After being unconscious for the

much a mystery to the attaches of
the Alexandria Hospital as he was
when brought in last Sunday after
noon Only once since being in
that institution did he furnish any
claw 10 his identity and that was
when he muttered the name "Joe
Dcn1eily." The physicians and
hospital attaches think the stranger
may be a victim of wood alcohol
poisoning.
Tatooed on his right arm are the
;nitials -. J. D. Inasmuch as he
uttered the name "JOe Donnelly"
the hospitals attendants think that
poss 'hly this may be his name.
There were no papers IN his pockets
or marks of Identification other
than the initials tatoocd on his arm.
The only thing found in his pocket
was a return trip to Washington.
The man is about 35 years old and
weighs about $50 pounds and is five
fee eight inches in heigth. Two
Joints of the right index finger are
niissing.
According to the police he was
picked up near the Union railway
station Saturday afternoon and
brought to police headquarters. The
police say that he fell on.the street.
He heing aroused from his stupor
Sunday afternoon he was taken to
the Alexandria Hospital and has
been under the care of DR.. George
T. KIipstein. According to the hos
pjtal attaches his eyesight is gone
although hope is held out by them
for mis- recovery.
Az efforts to learn where he halls
from thus far have been unavailing.
