Judge Mullowny Decides That Indi-

Discrimination.

Judge Mullowny held, in decision
yesterday, that no discrimination could
be made by the police against the oc-
cupying of the cab stands at the rail-
road stations by any licensed cab driver.
The decision was the result of a point
of law raised by Attorney Pattison, rep
resenting David Lewis, cab driver
charged with carrying people TO hotels
other than the one which the sign on
his vehicle indicated.
Lewis was brought into court by
other drivers, stationed at the depots,

AN OUTDOOR SCHOOL
OPEN ALL THE YEAR
Mr.. Macfarland's Idea of a
City Playground.
CONGRESS MUST LEND HAND
Its Help Needed to Meet the Special
Requirements Of the
District.

There wasn't so much of mass
meeting at the Church of the Covenant
last night as the Fairgrounds commit
tee had expected there would be, but
what the meeting lacked in numbers It
made up in enthSsiasm. Commissioner
Macfariand and Miss Sadie American
delivered their addresses to the handful
Cf people as cheerfully as though the
church had been packed. Dr. Teunis
S. Hamlin. who presided. introduced
the subject by saying that II there was
as much space in the streets as there
was in the church pews there would be
no use for Fairgrounds in Washington.
Commissioner Macfarland said that
the Fairgrounds were a school in a
certain measure. and that an outdoor
school for the entire year is what we
want. We are not content with the
summer schools only, he said.
An Idea "Made in Germany"
In our climate it is possible to use
ihe outdoor grounds nine months In
the year. said Mr. Macfarland. 'and.
of course, the houses can be used twelve
months" He then made reference to
the origin of the playground movement.
saying: Many of our good ideas, like
our importations, are made in Ger
many The idea of Fairgrounds orig
mated in the sand gardens of Berlin"
Mr.. Macfarland then cited the reasons
why Washington was in special need
of Fairgrounds. ard concluded by say
ing that TO obtain the desired appro-
priation from Congress the members
Of that body must be convinced of our
needs for these reservations on which
the children may play.
The Natural Education.
Miss Sadie American, secretary of the
national council of Jewish Women gave
a general discussion of play. and the
benefits Fairgrounds give TO a commun-
ity. I'VE need free play she said. 1T
is curious fact that we are forgetting
the meaning Of play. 1t is just as
natural for the child to want to play
as it is for the kitten TO chase its tall
or to run after ball of wool. The kit
ten is learning to catch mice, but 1t
doesn't know il, and the boy or girl
who plays is unconsciously laying the
plans for the fine moral character which
we wish 10 develop"
The Fairgrounds. she said. would give
Washington an opportunity to make this
not only the beautiful city. but the city
beautiful, between which. she explained
there is a vast difference.
