SUPPORT CURvING
AVENUE AT HEARING
Senator Capper and DR.. Work in
Favor Of Van Ness Street
Change. N

A change in the permanent highway
plan of the District, whereby Van Ness
street would be cut through from
Thirty-seventh street to Idaho avenue
in a curving line around Pembroke
Park. the property of Alfred Pembroke
Thorn, received the support of several
prominent figures while under consid-
grafton by the Commissioners at D pub
lie. heating yesterday.
Representative Moore of Virginia ap-
peared to support the plea Of Mr.. Thorn
II the street should be cut through in
stead OF curved, he said, it would sacri-
fee several old oak trees which could
not be replaced. ss
b. The matter is being asitated because
recent developments have added to the
traffic seeking to cross from Connecti-
cut avenue to Wisconsin avenue by way
OF Van Ness street. This trafic now is
compelled to make two extremely sharp
turns in a small stretch. and several
speakers referred to it as q dangerous
spot for traffic. William j. Neale, rep
resenting the Devonshire. Downs Citi-
zen'S Association, who favored the
change. said he has to make the turns
every day. and each time thinks it will
be his last.
Several prominent men wrote in to
support Mr.. Thoms plea to save the
trees and not t"cut the eyebrows off,
his property. They included Senator
Capper OF Kansas, chairman of the Sem
ate District committee; DR.. Hubert
Work. chairman of the Republican Ma
tional Committee: Frederic A. Delano,
Rear Admiral Cary T. Grayson and
Lieut.. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, speaking for
the National Capital Park and Planning
Commission. Wilton J. Lambert, at
torney, presented Mr.. Thom's case.
Mr.. Thorn said that IL his proposal
were followed he would dedicate to the
District all land necessary to carry it
out. -

Vets and Drys Join to Order
Probe of De King Killing
in Aurora Raid
BY the Associated Press.

f1y the Associated Press.
I SPRINGFIELD. Ill, April 18.-Three
!Angles of prohibition have poked their
kway from the tangle of bills and reso-
buttons in the Legislature.
II One deals with the De King case at
] Aurora, in which Mrs. Lillian De King
was slain by deputy sheriff during a
.dry raid. Another demands a test of
the Federal Governments right to reg
sulate the manufacture and sale of al
scohoiic preparations other than intoxi-
teating beverages. The third aims to
shmend the State law to permit manu.
fracture, transportation and sale of 2
sper cent malt tonicS for which Federal
permits have been issued.
Drys voted with vets in the House to
.Approve, 81 to SO, the resolution for q
Especial committee to investigate the De
King killing. The point was made that
this was not a wet and dry%4ssife but
one in which prohibitioniStS. were as
anxious as -prohibitionists to, see
Justice done. :;7.
The second action involving prohibi-
Etion centers around the Green resolu-
.tion, which directs the attorney gem
seral to open court battle Tor State
rights in regulation of medicinal liquors,
sacramento wines, industrial alcohol
and Misunderstanding beverages.
4 The House committee on judiciary
.has approved the resolution, IS to Is.
The wet forces look upon it as getting
.Nt the root of the question.
The third prohibition bill was in
sdorsed by the Senate judiciary commit
stee without opposition. Its sponsor,
Senator John Boehm of Chicago, pointed
Tout that the State law prohibits malt
tones which the Federal Government
Epermits, and asked that the statutes be
amended to conform with the Federal
regulations.

Appendicitis.

Dear Doctor: have read lately that
prominent physicians are OF the opinion
that the condition called Chronic ap-
pendicitis can be cured IN most cases
without an operation. personally
know Of a few cases where the X-ray
showed a normal appendix after pc
riod of careful dieting. Another thing
1 would like to know your opinion on
is the following: Some Latin
American physicians believe that ap-
pendicits is caused by eating storage
meat and fowl l lived several years
ago in a Latin American country, and
my experience was that the only cases
of appendicitis known there occurred In
persons who had just returned from a
trip to the United States.
will you also kindly tell me the
symptoms Of hernia? MRS. ""
So many cases of what used to be
thought chronic appendicitis have
proved to be chronic Inflammation OF
the secum chat part OF the bowel from
which the appendix springs and In

Inflammation of the appendix are now
looked upon with broader view. OF
course, just as there can be chronic
Inflammation of any organ, there can
be chronic Inflammation of the appen-
dix, and If it is certain that 1t is the
correct diagnosis its removal is advised
by most physicians, for 1t might light
up into a dangerous, acute case.
Appendicitis is most often due to

BIZ DONALD A. CRAIG.

August I'll, 1s64.-seven hundred and
twenty-Six sick and wounded soldiers
from Gen. Grants Army have been
transferred to the various hospitals IN
this city since last night. They ar
rived on two hospital ships. the Con-
necticut and the State Of Maine. The
hospital ship Manhattan came up the
river ut the same time, with 400 sick
and wounded, but was ordered to take
the INTO the hospitals In Alexandria.
According to the latest news received
in washington from Gen. Grants
Army In Virginia, the I'd Corps has
successfully crossed the James River
and apparently has thereby nnyStified
the Confederates as to Grants real In
tentionS.
The 5th Corps maintains Its hold on
the Weldon Railroad, and has erected
strong enough works there to make ats
position practically impregnable. On
FIRST striking the railroad, the 5th Corps
some miles. This corps now holds the
extreme left of the Union line.
The Union losses in the sharp Tight
ing at the Weldon Railroad two days
ago, according to the latest adyiceS re-
ceived by the War Department, were
greater than at first reported. A dis
patch was received today saying that
the Union troops were surprised. many
Of them being In their shelter tents at
the time, trying to escape the heavy
rain which had been falling for several
hours.
The Confederates first appeared
about noon on the right Of the road in
front of the Sd Division Of the 5th
Corps, but this was evidently feint
for the purpose of feeling out the Union
lines.
About 3 pm. the Confederates
charged in heavy force and succeeded
in turning the flank Of the 5th Corps
capturing a large number Of prisoners
This part of the Union line was forced
back q. conidsearble distance. The 9th
Corps came up and checked the enemy
advance. -,
A heavy Confederate column at the
same time charged the I'd Division on
the left of the Union position, breaking
1t and taking 600 prisoners. The whole
Union line was then forced back and
many men were killed and wounded.
About dark, however. the Union troops
were reinforced and recovered all the
lost ground.
