CITY PARK BOARD
WILL SEE PYLONS
Commission to Inspect Du-
pIication Already Hit as
Traffic Hazards.

The National Capital Park and
Planning Commission today planned
to inspect the full-sized Implications
of the stone pylons which the Treasury
Department wants to erect at Four
teenth street and Constitution avenue
and elsewhere in the Mall Triangle.
Pne commission already has objected
to the pylons as traffic hazards and as
serving no useful purpose.
Commission members also will visit
the tuberculosis Hospital grounds at
Thirteenth and Allison streets and
study what is to be done with the area
when the tuberculosis Hospital is
moved to its new site at Glenn Dale,
Md. The commission likewise VII
inspect some Of the old Civil War forts
in the Northeast section which are TO
be included in the Fort Drive project
and will look over the abandoned
reservoir at Sixteenth and Kennedy
streets, to determine what future use
can be made of this ground.
Arguments for and against demol-
ishing the Francis Scott KEY home
were heard by the commission. The
Federal Government owns the Key
house and several other buildings on
M street at the bridge approach. and
some authorities believe these old
houses should be torn down immedi-
ately. Since a bill now is pending in
| Congress regarding studies TO be made
| of historical homes. the commission
decided to wait month or so, pend
/ ing the outcome of the legislation.
The District Commissioners will be
asked, in drawing up plans for new
bridge at Pennsylvania avenue, across
| the AnacoStia River, to make spe-
cial study of its relation to the ap-
proaches. The commission so ruled in
adopting a resolution today. The COM
mission desires that Commodore Bar
ney Circle and other approaches be
| taken into consideration, and it may
be necessary to alter the line Of the
present bridge somewhat.

she had been sent home and was only
slightly injured.
Reuben Pumphrey, the undertaken
who set up an improvised morgue In
his establishment, said some Of the
bodies were crushed beyond idetnifica-
tion."

fcation went forward. The first name
listed among the known dead was
that of Margaret Eva Zimmerman.
whose body was identified by her
father.
Among the first on the scene OF
the tragedy was the Rockville rescue
squad, composed Of Al trained men,
who arrived in four trucks. The squad
took six children to Georgetown Hos

Winters, II, were dead on arrival.
In a vain effort to save their fast

suffering from possible internal in
juries. Jane Staley, II. was on the
verge of hysteria. She suffered
double fracture of the right arm. The
beautiful young girl was saved from
death by a restless desire to change
her seat just 10 minutes before the

fused. At the hospital the Staley
| girl said:
