a window in the Y. M. C. A. recrea-

falling 30 feet into an areaWay.
Hospital officials, who said that
they had been unable to find any

clothes, believed he had little
chance to live.
The men came into the Y. M.
C. A. at about 9 o'clock this morn
ing. Attendants there said they
had noticed him walking about,
muttering to himself. Suddenly,
he ran across the room and hurled
himself through a large glass win

through a skylight on the way
down he finally landed in an area

TWO JOBS WAIT
RETIREMENT
OF LAMB
Lieut.. Thomas Due to
Win Captaincy In
Police Shift

Promotion of two high-ranking
Washington police officers is being
held up pending the retirement Of
Inspector Benjamin A. Lamb, com.
mander of the Traffic Division.
who has been relieved Of his com.
mand, it was learned today by The
Washington Times.
Inspector Lamb is suffering from
a serious illness for which he under
went an operation about a year
ago and from which he apparently
has never fully recovered. On
March 19 he requested Major
Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
of police, to relieve him of his com.
mand because of ill health.
Since his illness is believed to
preclude his returning to the
heavy duties of commanding the
Traffic Division, Inspector Lamb
is expected TO ask to be retired, it
was declared today by high po-
lice official,
Leaves Post Vacant
This retirement would auto
matically make vacant the post Of
inspector and would give Major
Brown an opportunity to promote
one of the captains to inspector
and assign the newly-promoted
man to command the Traffic Divi.
sion, post none of the older men
want.
simultaneously, the vacancy
would give Major Brown an op-
portunity to promote Lieut.. Wal
ter H. Thomas, now head of the
police training school, to a cap.
taincy. Lieutenant Thomas now
heads the Civil Service list of
eligibles for such a promotion and
examinations to obtain a register
of new eligibles is expected to be
held in the near future. With
the early retirement of Inspector
Lamb this promotion could be
made before a new register is
filled.
Mansfield in Line
Prominently mentioned in de-
partmental gossip as likely to re-
ceive a promotion to inspector is
Capt. Richard H. Mansfield, com.
manding the Ninth Precinct.
Meanwhile, it is an open secret
at Police Headquarters that the
three inspectors now commanding
inspection Z N'Stricts are doing all
in their power to avoid being as.
signed to command the Traffic
Division.
Two of the three are nearing
the retirement age and one Of
their main arguments is that
they would serve in the division
but a few years before they would
have to be relieved because Of
retirement. They point out it
would be better to promote one
of the captains and assign him
to a post he could be expected
to hold a considerable time.

FL ON K ST.
IS URGED BY
COL. SULTAN
$4,000 Sought From
u. S. For Georgetown,
Z Other Projects

With proposals for construction
of a street car subway at Dupont
Circle, an elevated roadway over
K Street in Georgetown and r.
vamping of Thomas Circle on the
preferred list, District engineers
today were putting the finishing
touches on a report Of needed
highway improvements, to be for
warded within a few days to the
House District Committee.
The District Commissioners, it
was revealed today, are seeking an
appropriation of 100000 in the
1888 fiscal year budget, to have
special study. plans and specifi-
cations prepared for these three
projects.
Col. Dan I. Sultan, engineer
Commissioner, declared the prof.
ects are sorely needed traffic i'm.
provements for the city. He de.
scribed the K Street elevated
roadway as the "city's most urg-
entity needed street improvement
project" and the special traffic
treatment of the two circles as
most desirable for the easing
of traffic congestion.
$1,79O,OOO Cost
The project, with many others,
was detailed in a special report
made by Director of Highways
Herbert C. Whitehurst several
months ago. The report was in
response to a request for detailed
information requested by special
traffic subcommittee Of the HouS's
District Commi' tee, which made
a study of highway needs last
year.
Involved in the full report of
suggested Improvements made by
Captain Whitehurst was a total
expenditure of ~ million dollars.
The three preferred projects will
cost $1,790,000.
The Dupont Circle project,
which will cost 100000, involves
the construction of a subway for
Connecticut Avenue street cars
under the circle. AS the only
alternative, District officials have
suggested laying of car tracks
around the east side of Dupont
Circle for northbound cars. Car
tracks now are located only on the
west side of the circle.
Nine-BlOck Elevated
Most costly of the three pre-
ferred items is the K Street road
way. This will cost 81 100000. 1t
involves the construction of an
elevated roadway from Twenty
seventh Street to Thirty-Sixth
Street, above K Street, as a means
of relieving traffic on M Street in
Georgetown and also along the
Rock Creek-Potomac Parkway.
The Thomas Circle project in
wolves an expense of 100000 and
entails a proposal of running the
car tracks on a direct line through
the circle with motor traffic going
around the circle. 1t also involves
the construction of several safety
islands.
