s Arrested as Drunk
Are Sent 10 GaI|inqer

The new policy of keeping intoxi-
Gated persons overnight at Gallinger
Hospital when taken there by police
worked smoothly last night when
five such cases were received. -Four
patients also were accepted from
private sources for treatment OF
apparent alcoholism, hospital au-
thorities reported.
On the previous Saturday night
police took only one intoxicated per-
son to the hospital. The five taken
there last night for observation
under the new police clinic" plan
were held, instead of being returned
to the precinct stations, as was done
in the past after examination by
hospital doctors.
The police clinic" arrangement
went into effect last Wednesday and
the first real test came last night
the first Saturday. Police Supt
Robert ]. Barrett visited the hospi-
tai for about half an hour last night
and observed the treatment of an
intoxicated person brought in by
a police patrol car.
At midnight, approximately SO
persons were being held on drunk
enness charges at precinct stations
throughout the city.
DR.. William c. Hurry. night ad-
mitting physician at the hospital
said that "to be on the safe side
the hospital decided to keep for
overnight observation all the five
cases received from the police, as
well as the other four.

Underpass Hearing.
Set for Wednesday

A proposal to build a traffic under
pass at Pennsylvania and Constitu-
ton avenues near Fourth street NV.
will be discussed in a public meeting
at the District Building at 10 am
Wednesday.
The hearing will be conducted by
the Commissioners and tie Public
Utilities Commission sitting as a
joint board. since the project would
affect both motorists and streetcars
The chief point as issue, it was said
is whether to make the underpass on
Pennsylvania avenue, thus preserv-
ing the parade route along Consti-
tuition avenue, or on Constitution
thus preserving the route of the
Presidents from the Capitol to the
White House.
An underpass for one of the two
thoroughfares has been suggested
many times to relieve the rush hour
congestion at the intersection.
The utilities commission also will
hold public hearing at the District
Building board room at 10 am. to-
morrow to discuss the return OF
prewar bus routes from upper Con-
necticut avenue, Petworth and other
outlying areas to the downtown
business section.
The hearing has been requested by

SECS Return DELAYED
AT Least 7 Months
By Space Problem

The Securities and Exchange
Commission will be delayed at least
two months in making its scheduled
transfer back here from wartime
quarters in Philadelphia, it was
learned yesterday.
Public Building Administration Of
ficials said difficulty in rearranging
Government Office space is the cause
of the delay At least five other
agencies are affected in the same
| way, it was said.
Earlier, it was announced that
eight Federal agencies, including
the SEC, would start coming back
this month or later SEC had
planned making the transfer at the
end of October but officials now
explain the move has been post
poned until the latter part of De-
cember.
SEC is to be housed in RFC An
mex No. l at 131 Indiana avenue
and Annex No. 2 at 425 Second
street NV. The buildings are ad-
jacent.
Three of the out-of-toWn agen-
cies, Interiors Indian Affairs Serv-
ice, the National Park Service and
Fish and Wildlife Service moved
back here this month from Chicago.
PBA officials are now turning their
attention to finding convenient Of
flee space for the other agencies.
The Civil Services fourth regional
Office, which now is in Winston
Salem, N. c., will start moving here
in December instead of November
The agency probably will be housed
in temporary structure on Inde-
pendence Avenue.
The Veterans Administration S
actuarial Office and the Bureau, of
Employees Compensation, both in
New York, also will be delayed. The
former may be able to start its move
the latter part of November but it
! isn't likely that the Compensation
Bureau will be transferred before
March, 1912.
Another move postponed until
spring is that of the Immigration
and Naturalization Service Under
earlier plans its was proposed to
quarter the service at Buzzard's S
Point sometime in December. 1t is
now in Philadelphia.
The PBA explained 1t takes time
to allocate Government Office space
in Washington because of constant
| ly changing factors. Present and
future reductions in Office forces
and space requirements must be
taken into consideration. About
1000 employees are estimated in the
current program of transfers to
! Washington.
