THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 28, 1925. OFFICIALS LEARN LESSONOF TRAFFIC Evans Announces Plan for I Handling Cars at Audi- torium Functions. Arrangements for handling .auto- mobile traffic at the Washington Auditorium on the occasion of an- other big assemblage such as oc- curred night before last at the opera presentation will be amended in a number of important respects, as a result of lessons learned from the Initial experience. Inspector Charles Kvans, assistant superintendent of police, announced today. The two major changes which it Is deemed necessary to make are the temporary limiting of E street to one- way traffic traveling east, and the changing of Eighteenth street frofn * north to south one-way thoroughfare. - Furthermore, motorists will be' urged to make use of streets sev- eral blocks remote from the audi- torium in their approach to the building, thus relieving congestion on Nineteenth and Twentieth streets, such as occurred Monday night. Make E Street One Way. “I believe that by making E street a one-way traffic artery much of the Jamming and piling up of cars to the rear will be remedied." Inspector Evans stated. "As ntanv as four cars may, if necessary, use this street abreast. These cars will reach E street by moving south on Twentieth. Twenty-first. Twenty-second and other streets to the west of the audi- torium. They will thus be enabled to unload their passengers at the E street entrance. "Motorists desiring to use the Nineteenth street entrance may drive south on Nineteenth street to the auditorium. Cars ‘on this street will be allowed four abreast also, as it is a one-way thoroughfare. "By making Eighteenth street a south-bound one-way street Instead of a north-bound one, as at present, motorists wishing to use the New York avenue entrance may drive south down Eighteenth street or Seventeenth street to New York ave- nue and thence west to the entrance. Would Expedite Departure, "As the empty machines leave the entVance on New York avenue they will be directed by the officer at the intersection of New York avenue and Twentieth street to continue west- ward to Twenty-first, Twenty-second or other less congested streets. -If. at times, the congestion of cars going south on Twentieth street should require, a traffic officer at Twentieth and F streets may be com- pelled to switch some of the machines east on F street to Nineteenth. Eight- eenth or Seventeenth street and thence south to the Nineteenth street or New York avenue entrances. This .move, of course, would only be made when the exigencies necessitated it. "In accordance with suggestions made to me by motorists themselves, I will urge drivers to make as much use of the numbered streets west of Twentieth and east of Nineteenth as possible. Furthermore. T plan to have a diagram drawn before the next opera takes place there and will ask I the newspapers to publish it. This diagram will show clearly just how motorists should reach the auditorium.” CIVITANS HEAR ACTOR. Bruce Mcßae Discusses Art and Business.

By the Associated Press. SHANGHAI. January 28. —Gen. Chi Hsieh-Yuan, who recently captured the environs of Shanghai from the adherents of the present Peking government, but whose army was defeated early this week at Wusih, 80 miles west of here, left with his family today on the steamer Nikko Maru for Mojl. Japan. This is believed here to mean that the fight for the possession of Shanghai Is definitely ended. Dispatches from Shanghai on Mon- day said that Chi had suffered a de- cisive defeat at Wusih, and that his troops were retreating along the line of the Shanghat-Nanking Railway to- ward Shanghai, leaving Wusih in con- trol of the central government's troops under Lu Yung-Hsiang. Tuesday’s dis- patches reported that Chi's troops had partly evacuated Foochow after sharp fighting with forces of Lu. Shan glial authorities are preparing to transport the defeated soldiers to Shantung, as was done with the army of Chang Yung- Min. when it was defeated by Chi s troops and fell back on Shanghai earlier in the month.
