Jay-Walking Cow Strays Into Path Of Speeding Car, Demolishing Both Isabelle, one of Arlington Coun- tv's most faithful cows, wandered last night into the path of a speed- ing automobile on Arlington Ridge,, near the intersection of Columbia pike and the Mount Vernon boule- vard, and when the debris had been cleared away it was found that two men had been injured, an automo- bile had been demolished and Isa- belle had been nudged into eter- nity. The driver of the car, Peter Fran- ciscl, who gave his address as “Sec- ond ‘street,” this city, was arrested by the Arlington County officers and lodged in jail on charges of driving while drunk and reckless driving. The injured men, passengers in Franciscl's car, were Manuel Nicola of 1410 G street and Joseph Pizarro of 2036 E street. They were taken to Alexandria General 5 Hospital by George Elliott and treated for cuts and bruises. Nicola was nearly deprived of an ear by the accident. According to the best information obtainable today, Isabelle was plod- ding her way in jay-walker fash- ion across the sharp incline, when the automobile, proceeding, it is alleged, at a high rate of speed, struck her squarely abaft the beam. She came to earth about 75 feet away, it is said, considerably the worse for wear. ‘What Isabelle did to the car, how- ever, should be a caution to all drivers on rural hizhways.

A letter from President Samuel j{Rea of the Pennsylvania Railroad was read, in which he said that “from the standpoint of the Penn- sylvania Railroad system there is no necessity now, or, so far as one can see, in the future for the con- struction of an additional line of transportation between the Southern railroads and those running north of Washington.” Rail Heads Denied Need. Eppa Hunton, jr., president of the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Poto- mac Railroad Co., wrote, regarding the necessity for such a line, “that it is my very distinct judgment that no such necessity exists as present, or will develope in the future, inas- much as the ability of this company to handle expeditiously all traffic now offered, as well as its financial ability to provide increased facilities in the future, completely safeguards the present and future transporta- tion needs, and contracts now in effect with the Pennsylvania Railroad and Baltimore and Ohio, and which have been in fuil force for many years, assure us adequate freight facilities in the City of Washington.” Daniel Willard, president of the Baltimore and Ohio, pointed out that additional land for expansion had been pu d at Potomac yards, and that he did not consider the belt line necessary. Expressing the hope that permission would not be granted for its construction, he concluded: “I think the position which you say has been taken by the citizens of Mont- gomery County is completely justified by the facts as I understand them.” Fairfax Harrison, president of the Southern Railway system, said that the company promoting the project (Continued on Page 2, Column 7.) —_—— Radio Programs—Page 18, development of commercial and mili- tary aviation, came off the press Tues- day Its publication had been for- bidden by the War Department until that branch had given approval.
