Vehicles damned Half Mile
on Either Side of Tempo
rary Wooden Span.
,ALT ERNATING ONE-WAY
SYSTEM ESTABLISHED
Plan Necessary to Connect Mt.
Vernon Boulevard 0verpass
With Bridge.

Traffic jams stretching more than
one-half mile on either side of the
temporary wooden span at the south
end of the Highway Bridge leading into
Virginia resulted this morning when
alternating one-way traffic was estab-
lished on the wooden bridge to allow
workmen to begin connecting the new
overpass over the Mount Vernon
Boulevard with Highway Bridge.
More than one-half hour was re-
quired during the peak Of the morning
rush hour traffic to travel from the
beginning of the tie-up on one side
Of the bridge to the end on the other
side of the wooden span. Traffic
policemen and employees of the electric
railway who we're also directing traffic
did their best to keep the vehicles
moving. but because of the sharp turn
from the wooden bridge into the Mill
tary road ftrafic frequently became
locked and moved in neither direction
River Road Closed.
Coincident with the establishment Of
one-way travel on the wooden span, the
lower, or River, road to Alexandria was
closed from the Potomac River to the
plant of the Southern Oxygen Co. and
all traffic routed around to the Mill
tary road which runs through the
Government experimental farm. The
portion of the River road which has
been closed will a be widened and re-
surfaced before It is reopened.
The wooden span, constructed and
placed into service last Winter, so that
the overpass and new approach to
Highway Bridge from the Virginia side
could be built, will be used for about
10 days longer, contractors state, while
the street car switch-over to the new
tracks on the overpass is made and the
connection of the overpass with High
way Bridge is completed. After the new
overpass is put into use one-way traffic
only will be allowed on it for a few days
pending the completion of other work.
Cars and Buses Delayed.
During the height of the traffic jam
this morning as many as IL street cars
of the two Virginia electric lines were
tied up north of the plow-pitS on the
District of Columbia side of the bridge
at one time and were not sent on the
bridge until the jam had partly cleared
Bus traffic between Washington and
Virginia was also considerably delayed
by the tie-ups and schedules could not

RECEIVER IS ASKED
IN WOODWARD SALE
Francis H. Dushay Co., Own
ingI Building, Asks Court
Halt Disposal Tomorrow.

The Francis H. Duehay Co., through
its president, Francis H. Duehay, to-
day appealed to the District Supreme
Court to prevent the advertised sale of
the Woodward Building, at Fifteenth
and H streets, which is scheduled for
tomorrow. Chief Justice Alfred A.
Wheat cited the defendants to show
cause tomorrow why the sale should
not be halted and why receivers should
not be appointed for the property.
Named as defendants are George N.
Everett and Brainard w. Parker, trus-
tees under the second deed of trust,
which is being foreclosed; Randall H.
Hagner and James j. Becker, trustees
under first deed of trust for $1,000
900; Helen Woodward Wilson, Irene
Woodward Parker, Donald Woodward
and Catherine Woodward Tyssowski,
holders of the second trust notes, and
the New York Life Insurance Co., hold
er of the first trust.
Through Attorney John e. Laskey
the plaintiff says 1t bought the property
from the Woodward heirs and 1t has an
equity of 100000 in the property.
Business conditions have made it i'm
possible, the court is told. for the COM
pany to meet its obligations under both
trusts. The charge is made that the
WoodwardS are being given an unfair
advantage under the advertisement
concerning the sale, which purports to
be subject to a prior trust Of $4,000
900, which might have some period to
run. The court Is told that the real fact
is that the first trust is in default and
a purchaser would have to see to the
refinancing of the property.
The only fair thing, the company
claims is to name receiver and have
a sale under the authority of the court
where every one would have the full
notice Of the conditions.
