PARK BODY STUDIES.
HIGHWAY CHANGES.
Solution for Overloaded Con-
ditionS of Main Arteries

Several changes in the highway plan

which would give through routes TO
various parts of the city and relieve
some overloaded traffic lanes. were
considered by the city and park plan.
ming committee today.
The committee recommended that
Brentwood road northeast be extended
from it's intersection with Rhode
avenue to connect up with the 7
Street Bridge over the railroad yards.
This bridge is Of practically no use
at present, because there is no street
or road connection on the east side.
The opening of this road would take
some of the traffic from Rhode Island
avenue.
The committee also determined to
study the present highway plan in the
vicinity of Soldiers Home, with a
view to recommending the opening of
a direct highway from this point to
the Bladensburg road. 1t was pointed
out that there is a demand for such
a direct connection.
II also considered the question Of
changing the present route of Utah
avenue, in the vicinity of Nebraska
avenue, so that it will follow the line
of the old Rock Creek Ford road. No
action was taken further than to de-
termipe to make q survey to aScer-

clad in her prison uniform Of blue and
white gingham, she appeared to have
suffered greatly from exposure during
her 24.hour flight. She said she walk
ed to Weedsport yesterday, miles,
without once being challenged.
A farmer living near the spot where
she was found saw her leave the road
and go into the fields last night, and
notified the prison authorities.
It was the opinion Of the guards
that their prisoner was glad to be re.
captured. The prospect of dry cloth.

thing else on the trip back to prison,
"Cat-Eye Annie made no state

declined to discuss her methods Of

slipped over the walls yesterday
morning. She had no weapon or
money on her person when taken.

PROPOSAL
FOR BUS TERMINAL
Citizens Oppose Suggested
Site at Sixteenth and
Kennedy Streets.

Proposals OF the Washington Rapid
Transit Co. to establish a terminal for
its bus routes at Sixteenth and Ken
nedy streets met with strenuous op-
position from members of tho Six
teenth Street Highlands Citizens AS
ISOLATION at q meeting last night in
the Sixth Presbyterian Church. Reso-
luton were adopted unanimously pro-
testing against any plan for using
public park space for a bus ter
minal.
1t was brought out that a large sec
ton Of park area would be utilized for
the enterprise If permitted by the
Commissioners. Traffic at this point
is already very heavy, 1t was said,
three thoroughfares coming into Six
teenth street near this point-ken-
nedy place, Kennedy street and Nor
row drive. With the busses making
tho loop there, 1t would create a bad
situation, it was said.
Because the group OF cedar trees
at the corner of Sixteenth street and
Morrow drive obstructs the sidewalk
and prevents q clear view for the
protection Of automobilists. 1t was
voted to urge the Commissioners to
remove the trees and widen Morrow
drive to make way for a straight
thoroughfare connecting with Ken
nedy street and leading into Rock
Creek Park. Provision for the drain
age OF surface water at this cor
ner also Is sought. 1t was said that
for a week or more after each hard
rain a pool of water settles there and
becomes stagnant.
Characterizing the intersection at
Fourteenth street and Colorado ave-
nue as one of the most dangerous in
the city, resolutions adopted request
that an automatic sen1aphore be
placed there for the direction OF traf-
fic. 1t was pointed out thaua number
of deaths and serious accidents have
occurred at this corner and some
measure of relief is desired.
The association voted to suspend
meetings until October, or until the
president deems 1t advisable to call
a meeting. In the absence OF Presi-
