If the old saying is true that your
ears tingle when somebody is talking
about you, then Howard Moran and
Harry V. Haynes must think their
hearing protectors have been badly
frost bitten. The dinner at the Will
lard last night given in honor of
the head of the District Bankers
Association and the chairman of the
Clearing House Association, was a
complete success. Their fellow bank
erS wished to recognize the honors
placed upon their shoulders at the
recent Los Angeles convention and
for their work for the banking inter.
ests of Washington. Victor B. Dey'
her and Lanier =. McLachlen arrang-
ed for the affair and w. w. Spaid
presided. Thirty-two members Of the
luncheon group" were present.
Brief remarks We're made by Mr..
Deyber, Robert V. Fleming, John NJ.
Riordon, Julius Peyser, I. A. Pop
Fleming, and Wilmer J. Waller. The
guests of honor responded to the very
cordial sentiments, showing keen ap-
probation of the lavish good will.

Eugine Meyer, chairman Of the COM

WILD AUTO hits
PEDESTR IAN

one OF the most unusual auto
mobile accidents ever to come to
the attention Of the police occurred
today at Ninth and q SITS. N. w.
when q man cranked his car. It
started backward and ran over
another man.
The man injured was Lee Copp.
II years old. Of oalton, Va. He
was taken to Emergency Hospital
in a passing automobile and found
to be suffering from a fractured
knee, possible fracture Of lbs
and shock.
The police of the First precinct
say that Joseph Francis Sullivan,
AS years old, 1926 Eighth st. N. W.,
cranked his car while it was III
gear. At the time he cranked 1t.
Copp was just passing behind the
car and it struck and knocked him
down, afterward passing over his
legs and body. Sullivan then jump
ed in his car and cut off the igni-
ton.
Sullivan was arrested and taken
to the First precinct station house.
where he was charged with tech
meal assault and having defective

construction, and many Of the ma
terials have actually arrived. He
obtained his building permit from
the District authorities without be-
ing informed OF the plans for the
development Immediately Of Potomac
Avenue.
The co-ordinating committee also
recommended that hereafter plats
of the highway plan of the Dis
tEict be kept on file In the Dis
trict Building in order that pros
pective builders may be informed
Of plans for street development
when they obtain their building
permits.
The plan for river drive along
the bluff of the Potomac Valley
will take many years for compile
ton.
1t includes the purchase of all
land between Potomac avenue end
the river proper all the way from
Key Bridge in Georgetown to the
District line, and perhaps eventu-
ally on into Maryland.
Purchase of the property between
the drive and the river will be
primarily to prevent building and
thus keep the view open. The co.
ordinating committee will recon.
mend to the Park Commission that
some of this land be acquired i'm
lmediately, particularly those Sec
tons on which buildings are most
likely to be constructed, with the
view toward the future purchase of
the remainder.

domination proceedings for the land
