The Natignal Capital Park and Plan. ning Commi¥ssion today has before it re. | quests to approve nine changes in_the highway plan of the District. These changes were considered and approved | vesterday by the District Commission- | ers after a brief public hearing. Apparently the changes did not stir great interest among property owners, except for that relating to reducing the width of Piney Branch road. Several persons attending the public hearing expressed views on this, some to the effect that the road should not should be mmde narrower. The changes, as approved by Commissioners, are as follows: 1. Property in the Northeast section bounded by Douglas street, Thirtieth street, Adams street and the Washing- ton branch of the Baltimore & Ohip Railroad. The change consists in the elimination of parts of Twenty-sixth the | street and Channing street northeast and the widening of an ol road. The change is proposed by the sewer de- partment to facilitate_crainage 2. Property in the Northwest section {along the line of Elder street between Blair road and Seventh street. This change consists in the elimination of Elder street between Blair road and Seventh street northwest. There seems to be no necessity for the opening of this street, as it is not a through street and there is a very substantial house within the lines of the street as shown on the highway plan. 3. Property in the Northeast sec- tion bounded by West Virginia avenue, Queens Chapel road, Bladensburg road and Mount Olivet road. This change consists in the elimination of a num- ber of streets in the cemetery, the elimination of Montello avenue, Which is rendered unnecessary by the acqui- sition of West Virginia avenue, and certain changes in the street system north of the cemetery to better suit the drainage conditions and the own- ership of the property. The new sy tem will permit more orderly develop- ment than the existing plan. 4. Property in the Northwest section along the line of Madison street be- tween North Capitotl street and Fifth street. The change consists in nar- rowing Madison street from 120 feet to 90 feet. The width of this street 'was changed from 90 feet to 120 feet some time ago to facilitate its use as part of the fort drive. The fort drive having been located elsewhere, this is no longer necessary, and the reduction of the width of the street to its nor- mal width of 90 feet is desirable. 5. Property in the Northwest sec- tion bounded by the District line, Geranium street, Chestnut street, Fifth street, Butternut street and eighth street. This change consists in reduc- ing the width of Piney Branch road between Chestnut street and the Balti- more & Ohio Railroad at Fern street from 120 feet, as shown on the present highway plan, to 90 feet. The width of 120 feet appears to be unnecessarily great for the amount and character of traffic that this street must handle, and involves serious damage not only to private property but also to the, public school grounds at the corner of Dahlia street and Piney Branch road. The reduction to 90 feet will diminish the cost of the project, will | considerably reduce the injury to the school grounds and will be acceptable to a majority of the property owners. This street will connect with the un- | derpass under the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad at Fern street. be | widened, and some to the effect that it | 6.

FEBRUARY 21, 1930, 80th ANNIVERSARY IS REACHED WITH 134 DESCENDANTS LIVING Mrs. Clatterbuck Has 12 Children, 76 Grandchildren, 46 Great-Grandchildren. Chief Regret Is That She| Cannot Get Her Family Together. ‘The brood of that rursery book lady | who lived in a shoe would have been a small affair in the eyes of Mrs. Sarah | J. Clatterbuck, who received the con- gratulations of 134 living descendants yesterday, the eightieth anniversary of her birth. Mrs. Clatterbuck, who lives at 334 C| | street, has living 12 children, 76 grand- | jchildren and 46 great-grandchildren | She has outlived four of her children and 36 grandchildren. Born at Warrenton, Va., she was mar- ried in 1868, when but 18 years old, to J. M. Clatterbuck. They lived on a farm near Warrenton and raised their family of 16 there. The father served four ‘years in the Civil War and one of their 10 sons, S. D. Clatterbuck, served overseas with American forces during the World War. Mrs. Clatterbuck’s anniversary was at- tended by relatively few of her descend- ants. Many of her grandchildren she | has never seen. Her chief regret. she | says, is that all her efforts to “get the | family together” have failed. EDITOR'S EVIDENCE IS CALLEDHEARSAY ‘Fails to Warrant Jury Action Against Police, Rover Decides. Satisfied that the information con- cerning liquor law violations by mem- ! wers of the Metropolitan Police Depart- ment preferred by Daniel E. O'Connell, | city editor of the Washington Times, |at the recent trial of Robert F. Lang- don, a precinct detective who was sc- quitted of transporting liquor, was “hearsay,” United States Attorney Leo A. Rover has reached the conclusion that it would have no value as evidence before the grand jury. The prosecutor sent a letter to Henry G. Pratt, major and superintendent of police, advising him that the information is of such nature as not to call for either investi- gation or prosecution. Grand jury pro- ceedings in_the matter would not be warranted, Rover said. The letter reads: “My Dear Maj. Pratt: “I acknowledge receipt of your letter {of the 18th instant regarding certain | testimony alleged to have been given by Mr. Daniel O’'Connell, city editor of the Washington Times, when he ap- | peared as a witness in the trial of the | United States vs. Robert F.
