Appeal Of Countess

Countess Vera Cathcart's appeal
to be allowed to enter the United

higher-ups here today.
While it il expected that the at.

Craven will be denied the usual
admittance, she may be able to

peal are under consideration by the
board of review and the Secretary

There is little likelihood. however,
that the yivacious countess will be
permitted anything like a long stay
in this country. Only very rarely
do the authorities here reverse a
ruling by the Ellis Island board,

Autos Aren't Supposed
To Hit Bridge Rails,
ID. C. Heads Announce

District officials today disclaimed
any responsibility in the Calvert
Street Bridge tragedy last night. de-
claring that none of the bridges
around Washington were equipped
with guard rails which could with
stand the tremendous shock Of a
speeding automobile.
They admit. however, that new
structures with ratings built with
modern conception of traffic
would go a long way toward pre-
venting such accidents. But cases
are referred to in which concrete
posts along the edge of bridges
have been demolished by motor
cars.
THE ratings OF bridges will not
stop motor vehicles going at con-
siderable speed" declared Lieut..
Col. j. Franklin Bell, the engineer
commissioner. The curb of the
Calvert Street Bridge was raised six
inches two or three years ago.

inches high. about as high as It

Enraged, apparently, because
there was only 81 in the cash
drawer after he had held up Ho
Buck Tong, Chinese laundryman,
at 213 Indiana Ave. N. W., q
masked bandit shot him in the
left arm.
Tong told the police that the
man, attired in a gray overcoat
and cap, with a white mask cover
ing his face, entered the laundry
last night and, pointing a revolver
at Tong, said, "Stick 'em up"
Shot As He Left
Tong showed the man the cash
drawer which contained only 81.
Taking the money, the man started
out, but just as he reached the door
turned and fired at the laundryman,
the bullet striking him in the left
arm.
The injured man was treated at
Casualty Hospital and then re-
turned home.

Curb Would Save Life
Even though it was evident. in
Mr.. Eldridge,s opinion, that Mrs.
Standish was driving faster than
eight miles an hour. the limit on
the Calvert street bridge. when the
accident occurred, the Traffic Dt
rector Is confident that had the
curbs been on the bridge the trag-
edy would not have happened.
Il will get out the correspon-
dence / previously had with the
curhs on the bridges, and again re-
new my recommendations" Qirec-
tor Eldridge said today.
The Traffic Director made an
other examination OF the wreck
age today, and found that Mrs.
Standish had only one chain on the
wheels Of her machine.
That's what caused the skid
ding, he said. One chain on a
machine Is worse than no chain
at all There must be chains on
both rear wheels IL they are to be
effective against slkidding."
