was compelled to detour over a few
squares of cobblestones, traffic hav--

Alfred and Duke streets while the
fire apparatus was in that vicinity.
The former President accompanied
by Mrs. Wilson was taking his favor

minutes before his automobile ar
rived the fire department was call
ed 20 eXtinguish a small blaze In a
house on Alfred street just south OF
Duke street. The Wilson car drove up
and stopped for few minutes. Many
in the crowd recognized the former
President and he was given a h'g
ovation and while the former Presl-
dent DOTTED his hat and Mrs. Will
son smiled graciously a policeman
came up and suggested a detour IN
order that the party might not be
delayed.
in a few minutes the Wilson car
turned westward on Duke street ana
then turned south in-o Patrick street
and after traversing another square
again took the concrete road known
as the Camp Humphreys road and re-
sumed its journey without further IN

Mrs Harding was slightly i'll, and

Curbing Lait on This Thorough
fare. .tf..

The work of improving nineteen
squares on Washington, Prince, Duke
and Pitt streets under the direction
of the city engineer soon will be COM
pleted.
Four squares on Washington street
between Duke and Franklin streets
have been completed with a modern
bituminous macadam roadway and
now this boulevard is one Of the main
roads for automobilists enroute to
Mount Vernon.
Eight squares on Prince street be-
tween Royal and Fayette streets have
almost been completed and the work.
men are now engaged in the task OF
improving the last square on that
street to be improved for the present,
at least. which is between Henry and
Fayette streets. Property owners on
the last named square petitioned for
the Improvement after the appropria-
ton for the original work had been
made by the old city council.
Duke street from Royal to Wash
ington streets already has been i'm
proved and prior to these improve
mentS bituminous macadam road
way had been laid on Duke between
Washington and Columbus streets,
facing the Alexandria Hospital. The
Improvement Of Duke street will ex-
tend only to Henry street. thus max
ing six squares of new improvements
on that street. A square Pitt between
Prince and Duke streets, was i'm
proved some time since.
Duke street will be the last street
to be completed. Workmen have
placed in the necessary curbing and
have prepared the base for the road
way and soon this work will it is eX-
pected be completed.
This will add considerably to the
number of already improved streets
in the city and also divert the traffic
from only few streets. Property
owners on the streets improved have
paid their proportion of the cost.

FIRST LADY HAS NOT&a
PASSED CRISIS THINK
WAITING PHYSICIANS
NOT NECESSARILY FATAL,
SAYS DR.. WANDER HOOP

DIR. D. Wander Hoof, a leading
physician of Richmond, stated to-
day that hydro -nephrosis, from
which Mrs. Harding is suffering, is
n swelling of the kidney TO the
bladder. The obstruction, DR.. Van
der HOof said, is sometimes caused
BY n kink in the duct, or may be
the result of some other impend-
ing substance. The effects of the
swelling, he said, are not necessar-
lily serious, although the condition
Of the patient and the merits of the
individual case would be of para
mount Importance in determining
this.
The fact that a half dozen sur
geOns have been called to the bed
side of Mrs. Harding, however,
leads to the conviction that the
swelling has proven serious, and in
the opinion of the original physi-
clans, may be fatal.
Washington Sept. 9.-Mrs. Hard
ing'S critical illness marks the sec
ond occasion within recent years
when death has cast its shadows
athwart the White House.
For many yeeks, late in his sec
Ond term as President, Woodrow
Wilson lay almost at deaths door,
a victim, like Mrs. Harding of a
serious organic disorder. AS in the
case of the Presidents wife, the
greatest specialists in the country
called on all their skill and science
to save the distinguished patient.
Like Wilson, Mrs. Harding is
person of great strength of will.
Wilson's will power helped great
ly, his doctors said in his recovery.
Mrs. Harding's friends count on
her will to beat off the encrOach-
ments of disease.

In Atlantic Dumping Car

Washington, Feb. 22.-Federal

missioner Haynes from General Agent
Mack Overpeck and Federal Prohibi-
ton Agent w. p. Flinchum at Savan-

ut is reported here through what
report said, that at least once or
twice a week boats com ng from
"Bimini Island or elsewhere, carrying
from 200 to $500 cases Of liquor, are
unloaded on an island in some of the
numerous rivers leading from the
Atlantic in toward Savannah. The
apprehension of those cargoes Of
liquor is made extremely difficult from
the fact that any one of the many
islands may be used as a base from
which to unload and distribute the
cargoes.

"It is an acknowledged under
standing that crews Of these boats
will make a stubborn resistance
against apprehension. Proof of this
was shown in instance not long
ago., when Captain c. H. Nesle on
board the Champ vas shot three
times when at the wheel. The
Champ still shows the holes made
by bullets from high power riefls in
the hands of the whisky

too strongly that the agents should
be protected in chasing the runners
boats as they always have full crews
of men and will not stop at any
means whereby they may make their
! escape. They have heavy fast run-
ming boats. making it hard for the
agents to come along side. And OBJ
serving an order not to shoot unless
in case of self defepse, or if they are
not attacked first, all they can do is
to let the faster boats and crews es-
cape.

a machine gun or riot guns, in the
hands of a crew-of four or five mer

made remarks on various occasions
that if the government should arm
fast boats they would have to stoI

Sensational Disc3oeMrU.o
London, Feb. 22.-What are char
acterized as sensational disclosures"
are made in the air ministry's report
into the R-3S disaster at Hull last
summer. said the air correspondent
of the Evening Star in an article yes
terday regarding the report in ques-
ton, which has not yet been made
public.
The RIBS. renamed the ZR-2 when
1t was purchased by the United States
from the British government, collaps-
ed owe Hull while on a lest trip with
the loss of more than forty lives, in
Guiding nearly a score of Americans
who were to have formed part of her
crew.
The correspondent, who says no
decision has been yet reached in re-
gard to the making public of the re-
port, asserts that much of the air
ministry's inquiry will be found to
contain findings to all fntents and
purposes Numerically opposite to
those Of the naval airship experts"
and he adds that 'the whole system
under which the ship was construct
ed is strongly condemned"
Referring to the findings Of the
preliminary court of inquiry, the cor
respondent says:
1T was suggested that bad design
IN the casing and weakness in the
framework which was unable to
stand the strain of fuu fight. led t.
the disaster. This point is stressed in
a further and detailed report which
is still being studied by the chiefs of
the air ministry"
