ROUTE ON 14TH ST.
EXTENSION CHANGED
Thoroughfare Will Not Be Con-
structed Through Walter
Reed Grounds.
ANOTHER WAY AUTHORIZED
Opponents Fear to Disturb Hospi-
tai Patients.

Instead of extending 14th street
through the Walter Reed Hospital
grounds, as provided in the Zihlman
bill, the House yesterday amended the
measure SO as to authoSize the Dis
trict Commissioners to cut a new
street west from 14th street, along
the southern boundary OF the reser-
vation to the southwest corner and
thence north to the District line.
This was done on motion of Rep
resentative John j. Rogers of Mas
sachuSetts, with a view to skirting
the grounds SO as to avoid the dan
ger and noise from heavy street car
and automobile traffic through the
reservation, with the idea in view
that it would disturb the service pa
tientS.
Previously, on motion of Repre-
sentative John c. Mckenzie, Re-
publican, of Illinois, acting chair
man of the military affairs committee,
the House directed that all present
thoroughfares in the Walter Reed
grounds should be closed.
Representative Mckenzie, with Rep
resentative Hull of Iowa, led the fight
against the bill, arguing that as orig
Inally framed it represented selfish
aims of certain real estate interests
and. If passed; would lead to the
removal of this great medical center
to some other location.
After it was evident that the bill
would not pass in it's original form
Representative Zihlman argued that
some traffic outlet should be given to
the people who had established homes
in the territory north of the hospital
reservation on the understanding that
the street would be cut through. Rep
resentative Zihlman offered the
amendment which was perfected by
the amendment of Representative
Rogers.

Woman accused
Of Robbing Church
To Start OlUn Sect

Tired of the continued wrangle
between modernists and conserva-
tives in existing religions, Ida Will
liams decided to set up a sect of
her own.
Everything might have gone
well had a policeman not passed
Ida's home, 215 Willow Tree alley
southwest, about the time she and
her flock were in the midst of their
inaugural service. Dimly remem-
bering that some furniture had
been stolen from the Corinthian
Colored Baptist Church, BOG q
street southwest, the policeman
just dropped in on the worshipers.
There, he told Judge Mcmahon
in Police Court yesterday, he not
only found the congregation intox-
icated, but also "a collection table,
two side tables, three lamps, a pull
pit chair, a Bible, ten hymn books,
d communion set and other fur
nishings which were identified as
belonging rightfully TO the Corin-
THAN Colored Baptist Church.
When the colored woman pro-
tested that she had honestly pur-
chased the things, the court con-
tinued the case while probation Of

keen sense of disappointment was
