Modern Loading Facilities
Provided in Subway Plans

This Is one OF a series of
articles describing some of the
major changes proposed in the
ctty's transportation and traffic
systems to overcome congestion
and aid in the solution of park
ing problems. The oUeraH plan
,Das prepared for the Commits
stoners by the consulting engi-
feer firms OF J. E. Greiner Co.,
Baltimore, and De Leuw, Gather
& Co., Chicago.
Instead Of standing on street
corners or platforms in all types of
weather, transit patrons waiting for
streetcars using three subway sys-
TENS proposed by engineers would
find themselves in ventilated under
ground stations of modern design.
"The subways would be designed
in keeping with the beauty of the
Nations Capital" the engineers
said. They would incorporate the
best in design, both functionally
and atristicallys of recent develop
ments for other similar projects"
AS an illustration of what WASH
ingtonians might expect, the engi-
neers presented a picture of the
mezzanine level of a station in Chi
cago's State street subway, which
has glass walls, marble covered
columns and fluorescent lighting.
Plan on Escalators.
Escalators would be provided in
addition to stairways at all subway
stations having mezzanine levels
and subsurface entrances to the
larger stores and Office buildings
would be provided.
With certain exceptions, en-
frances would be provided at all
four corners of the street intersec-
ton above the station, but patrons
would have to enter on the correct
side for the direction in which they
wished to 60. Center platforms, the
engineers explained, are impossible
because streetcars have doors only
on the right hand side, except in
the case OF the older type, cars.

OfWoke IsIond, Dies rs
Death Is Second in
FomiIy Since Capture
Of Soldier by Jups

Mrs. Annie Sinnott Devereux, rs.
mother of 1t. Col. James P. S.
Devereux, heroic commander of the
Marines on Wake Island, died to-
day at the home of another son.
Joseph S. Devereux, / West Brad
ley lane, Chevy Chase, Md.
Matriarch of the fighting Dev-
ereux" family, Mrs. Devereux sue
cumbed after long illness. She
had been In a coma since a severe
heart attack Tuesday night.
This is the second death in the
immediate family of the Wake de-
fender since he has been a prisoner
Of the Japanese. His wife died in
July, 1912.
The former Annie Sinnott of an
old Philadelphia family, Mrs. Dev-
ereux's family has been represented
in virtually every American war
She has four sons, three sons-in-law
and one grandson-in-law now in the
armed forces of this country and
Canada.
Mrs. Devereux's father, Joseph r.
Sinnott, a Philadelphia banker and
railroad man, fought in the Civil
War. Her husband, the late DR..
John Ryan Devereux, Army and
Public Health Service physician, who
died here in 1896, served in the Army
Medical Corps in both the World
War and the Spanish American War.
Before the United States entered
the war in 1917, DR.. Devereux had
organized an ambulance unit. One
son, Joseph, also served in the World
War.
Educated at the Convent of the
Sacred Heart, Philadelphia, Man
hattanville College and Miss Irwin's
School, the former Annie Sinnott

rick John Ryan, close friend of

Two Children Born In Cuba.
Two of her 10 children, John and
James, were born in Cuba, where
she was living while her husband
served with the American Army at
the close of the Spanish American
War. She also had 10 grandchildren
and one great-grandchild
The news that the Japs had over
whelmed her sons small force of
Marines on Wake arrived while she
was i'll, and to protect her health,
her children for time kept up q
pretense that the American nag
continued to ny over the small
Pacific outpost.
Years of uncertainty and doubt
regarding her sons welfare in prison
have followed, interspersed by q
few messages from the Marine hero,
but that didn't stop Mrs. Devereux
from writing him at least once q
week and planning a Christmas box
for him.
Since his capture, Mrs. Devereux
has heard twice from her son-a
postcard and q letter in February
1914, when he told her he hadn't
heard from home since June, 1912.
The letter was dated September,
1943. But last August, she had the
consolation of knowing that at last
some letters had reached him. Word
came In letter to his father -in-law.
For her sacrifice and courage" In
giving four sons to the service, Mrs.
Devereux was formerly commended
by the War Department In July, 1913
These young men, your sons
