hotel, called attention to the fact
that traffic congestion at this point
constitutes a real danger, not only
to pedestrians but to motorists as
we'll He offered to bear the ex-
pense of removing the platform.
William II. Harland, director OF
traffic. took the view that the
platform does not cause any serious
inconvenience through movement

Policemen who patrol that area
stated that the congestion at this
point during the rush hours constr
tutes real problem.
William r. Ham, president of the
Washington Railway and Electric

that conditions at this point are de.

Jones, surrounded by his usual

1t was a typical Jones shot. How

GIRL FIGHTS COP
OVER RUN

A ruined neektie and Celtic i'm.
pulse towards gallantry failed to
prevent Detective r.. r. Mccarthy,
Of the Third precinct, from doing his
duty by the Jones liquor law when
an attractive but fighting young
woman attempted to push him from
the running board of an alleged rum
car, he reported today.
Miss Mary Evelyn Miller, 22-year-
old brunette. of the 500 block @ st.
N, E., took the wheel Of an automo-
bile after Edward Albert Hawkins,
80, 1900 block of Fourteenth St.
N. W.. had deserted 1t on New
Hampshire Avenue near U Street
early this morning. She proved
very capable, Mccarthy said.
Captured Man
Detective s. F. Gravely, who was
with Mccarthy, pursued Hawkins
on foot and captured him in an al
lev leading off Sixteenth Street.
The car driven by Hawkins, and
in which he was accompanied by
Evelyn Miller and Opal Randall, 20,
of Sligo Mill Road Northeast, was
first sighted by the detectives In
the 100 block of Seventeenth st.
N. w. They said they recognized
it az liquor carrier.
Hawkins saw the police car in
front of him and threw his own
machine into reverse. Mccarthy
did likewise and backed after him
as the street was too narrow for
either to turn.
After two blocks running in re-
verse the fugitive car ran into
Swami Street Northwest, but was
soon overtaken by the police. At
that point, the detectives said,
Hawkins jumped out and ran and
Miss Miller took the wheel. The
pursuers left their automobile.
Tears Tie
Mccarthy jumped on the running
board and attempted to stop the
other car, but the girl put up a
struggle. She unsuccessfully at.
terapted to push him off and tore
his necktie, he said.
Meanwhile Miss Randall had
smashed several bottles and police
said they only fouH one pint OF
alleged liquor after things had
Quoted down.
Both girls and Hawkins were
charged with transporting and pos
sessing and Hawkins also with reck-
less driving.

Mrs. l.. r. c. Michel, of England,
staged a surprise by eliminating
Betty Nuthall, 6--3, 6-3, in the
third round OF the women's singles.
Miss Nuthall or Eileen Bennett had
been looked upon as the most fogi-
cal of the English players to reach
the finals and meet Helen Wills,
whose retention of her champion
shpi seems a virtual certainty.
Defeat Big Surprise
Miss Nuthall's defeat was the
greatest surprise at Wimbledon, a
spot noted for its upsets. in years.
Mrs. Michel, always regarded as
England's most powerful forehand
driver, had never been reckoned as
Miss Nuthalls equal in an all-round
game.

was unable to run fast enough to

Britishers Have Bad Day
1t was a bad day for British
women favorites, for besides Betty
Nuthall, two others who had been
counted on to last far into the
tournament. were eliminated by
their own countrywomen.
One was Mrs. Michael Watson,
member Of the Wightman Cup
team, who was expected to rank
as this years first Wightman Cup
player. She was defeated by the
youthful Joan Fry, Ga. Mrs.
Watson found Miss Fry,s Mefciless
forehand unbeatable.
The other was Mrs. B. c. Covell,
captain of the 1929 Wightman Cup
team, who was defeated by Miss

These three surprising results

Stretch Is Not Yet Ready for
Use, Pending Completion
by Maryland.

The District Highway Department
yesterday completed the opening OF Six
tenth street from Kalmia road to the
District line, thereby putting in service
a straight approach from Maryland to
the White House.
Completion of the work does not
mean that motorists may use the
stretch. however, as the Maryland end
of the project is not yet completed.
Two roads which are to lead from
the Sixteenth street portal at the DIS
trict line to Bethesda and Silver Spring,
respectively, are both incomplete and
viii ret be in service for at least an
other two months. 1t is understood
that work on a bridge and an under
pass has held up progress.
The Districts end OF the job COM
pletes a two-year program of improve
ment in which Sixteenth street from
Alaska avenue to the District line has
been opened up at a cost of $l65.0OO.
The work from Alaska avenue to Kali
mia road was done last year and the
rest this year.
The road ends in a large circle, which
will eventually receive landscape archl-
tectural treatment at the hands OF the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission. The extension now COM
pleted is so feet wide.
