VAN DUzER.
GIVES PLAN :.
TO HELP
TRAFFIC
Designates 18th at N.
Y. Ave., 18th and l4th
at Pennsylvania

Construction of pedestrian sub
ways at three downtown points
was advocated by Traffic Direc-
tor William A. Van Duzer today
before the special House District
subcommittee studying local traf.
fic conditions.
There is a particular need for
such subway at Fifteenth
Street and New York Avenue,
and conditions at Fourteenth and
Pennsylvania Avenue and Twelfth
and Pennsylvania Avenue would
be relieved if pedestrian subways
were constructed there also,
the director declared.
Another highlight of today's
hearing was the revelation by
Mr.. Van Duzer that considera-
ton is being given the construc-
tion q 50-foot highway in the
bed Of the present Chesapeake
and Ohio Canal from Twenty
ninth Street to Key Bridge.
Would Solve Problem
He asserted that II this were
done, sit would provide the best
solution to the Georgetown traffic
problem" which he said is now
one Of the most serious in the
city.
Traffic on M Street from
Twenty-ninth Street to Key
Bridge, he said, is much heavier
than the street can carry. He
pointed out that if the canal bed
project were to be effectuated
most of the M Street traffic
would be diverted.
In suggesting the pedestrian
SubwayS~ Mr.. Van Duzer told the
subcommittee that at present the
pedestrian always has difficulty
in crossing the street at Fifteenth
Street and New York Avenue,
adding that a pedestrian subway
there is the only method he
knows of relieving that situation.
Regarding the proposal to con-
struct pedestrian tunnel at Four.
teenth and Pennsylvania Avenue,
Mr.. Van Duzer said this would run
from the northwest corner of that
intersection to the southwest cor.
ner of Fourteenth and E Streets.
$4,000 Work in Area
He pointed out that some 10000
persons work in the area around
Twelfth and Pennsylvania Avenue
and that pedestrian Subways
should be constructed there as a
safety precaution for these work.

In Small Supply;
Trouble Spreads

PEKIN, H., Feb. 8 G.NS) +.
This city was virtually without
milk today as q result Of the gen.
eral strike which has completely
paralyzed business and sent one
man to the hospital with a bullet
in his chest.
None Of the dairy firms would
risk making deliveries in the face
of threats by strikers. At the
same time Mayor w. e. Schurman
was perfecting q plea to Governor
Henry Homer to send State troops
into Pekin and take control.
Meanwhile, il was predicted
that 9 strike settlement could be
expected within a hours.
Z Louis Gilman, head Of the gen
era1 strike committee, denied that
Clarence Rupp, nonunion cab
operator, had been shot from am
bush and seriously wounded by
strikers. Rupp was believed by
authorities to have been shot when
he attempted to deliver food sup
plies to Strikebreakers.
Price Cutting War
Gilman advanced the theory
that a recent price-cutting war
may have resulted In the shooting
Of Rupp. He pointed out that q
band of masked men recently had
overturned and burned one Of
Rupp's taxicabs and that the
shooting last night was done to
discredit strikers.
Meanwhile, the milk shortage
brought q serious problem. The
Pekin Hospital obtained a small
supply Of milk smuggled into the
building, it was reported.
The FleiSchmann Yeast Com
pany was still working today,
despite a line of picketS surround,
ing the plant. Company officials
said they would attempt to keep
the plant open.
H. B. Liawton, manager Of the
Corn Products Company, which
has been operating during the
strike, said that a committee
representing 900 Corn Products
employees, informed him today
they would start picketing the
plant If it was not closed. He
said the plant would be shut
down as soon as possible, at least
by next Saturday.
