RESTAURANT GIVEN
DIRECTED VERDICT
Defendant Company Wins Case in
Customers Suit for $4,000
Damages.

Justice Peyton Gordon of the District
Supreme Court today directed a ver-
dict in favor Of the Cooperative
Restaurant, Inc, which operates the
Lotus Restaurant at 727 Fourteenth
street, in a suit to recover $50, 900 dam
ages brought by Melvin C. Mcdonald,
1912 Eleventh street, who claimed to
have been beaten over the head with a
water bottle by waiter when he broke
the rule of the restaurant forbidding
dancing with women not OF the Gus
toners party.
The attack took place June II, 1928,
and. according to the testimony SINH
lar assault was made at the time on
Floyd Gibbons, noted traveller and
radio reporter, who attended the res
taurant with another party Gibbons
was not called as witness for the
plaintiff.
The case was taken from the con-
sideration of the jury when Attorney
Alvin l.. Newmyer raised the point
that the declaration had charged the
commission of an assault wi ct arms"
by corporation without alleging
knowledge or direction of one of its
officers. He pointed out that the plain
tiff had refused to desist from break
ing the rule of the place and had be-
come disorderly before being attacked
by the waiter, who had not been or
dered to do so by any person in charge.
The plaintiff was represented by at
torneys Philip w. Austin and Denny
Hughes, who are expected to ask for
a new trial.

RIGHT TURN ON RED
LIGHT IS PROPOSED
Van Duzer Contemplates
Plan at 22d Street and
Massachusetts Avenue.

A right turn on q red light signal is
contemplated at Twenty-second street
and Massachusetts, avenue to relieve
congestion at that intersection, William
A. Van Duzer, director of traffic and
motor vehicles, said today.
The skip-amber system and a flexible
synchronization will replace the present
system on Massa chusettS avenue west of
Dupont Circle. going into effect prob
ably on Friday.
Mr. Van Duzer believes that If mo-
florists are permitted to turn right on
the red light to proceed south on
Twenty-second street much congestion
especially during the morning rush
hour, will be avoided. This will allow
the motorist to cross @ street without
waiting, as the light will be green there
at the time the turn on the red light
into Twenty-second street has beer
completed. AS he approaches P stree,
the signal there will be turning to green
so the motorist may make his way
downtown from that point without any
interruption.
A sign instructing motorists to thai
effect probably will be placed at the
Massachusetts intersection soon II the
plan works we'll a green arrow will be
substituted. which will fash on with the
red light. The right turn on the green
light will be made as heretofore
Mr.. Van Duzer cautions the motorist
to be careful in merging with the
through southbound traffic, which will
have the right Of way.
The director also cautioned motorists
to keep in their proper lanes at Wis
consin and Massachusetts, avenues and
to keep close to the automobiles ahead
II this is not done the detectors will
not function properly, particularly when
the southbound motorist on Wisconsin
avenue keeps to the car tracks. where
the detectors are not placed. The cycle
for through trafiic on Massachusetts
avenue yesterday was extended for six
seconds.
