TAXIMETER CAB REGULATED.
Amendment to- Police Rules Sub
mitted by CommIssiOner West.

An amendment to the police regula-
tions looking 10 the establishment OF
stands for taximeter cabs in the Dis
triet was submitted 10 the Commits
sioners yesterday by Commissioner
West.
The details for the proper regulation
OF the cab service have been under con-
sideration for some time by Commis-
sioner West The matter has been
carefully supervised by Mai. Sylvester.
II. as a result Of these efforts, the
proposed amendment to the regulations
is made. six stands for motor taximeter
cab vehicles will be established as fol-
lows: West side Of Scott Circle: vicinity
of Pennsylvania avenue, d, and Twelfth
streets northwest; west side OF Eighth
street south of F street northwest:
Madison place; Seventeenth street north
Of Pennsylvania avenue northwest; Del
aware avenue, near Union Station, and
Pennsylvania avenue, in the vicinity OF
the new Municipal Building. other To-
cations viii be considered in the future
While the regulation which prohibits
soliciting patronage by public hacks is
10 be continued, the amendment will
provide that when a public cab or hack
displays device 20 indicate that the
vehicle is not engaged. such indication
will not be considered OF itself as
soliciting patronage.
This displaying a device to indicate
that the vehicle is not engaged is the
adoption of the practice which pre-
walls in European cities and In Mexico.
In those cities, a metal flag is attached
20 the vehicle. This sign indicates
whether or not the vehicle is engaged.
Some two years ago Commissioner
West entered into correspondence with
the Taximeter Cab Company, OF New
York, having in view the establishment
Of taximeters IN public cabs and hacks
in Washington. When this effort failed.
he endeavOred to procure taximeters
from Paris and Berlin.
When 1t became known that a private
company intended to install taximeter
cabs here. Commissioner Vests efforts
In that direction ceased
He expressed his satisfaction at the
conclusion of the work Of installing
the taximeter cab system under proper
regulation. as he did at the adoption OF
the taximeter cabs

FILIPINOS FOR BRYAN.
He Declares He Has the Documents
to Prove 1t.

South Norwalk, Conn. Sept. 10
W. J. Bryan appeared at the rear
door of his coach. the last one on
the train and waved farewell as the
train drew out of the station here en-
route to Providence. Before leaving
Mr.. Bryan gave the following inter-
view to the Associated Press, replying
to the statement of Mr.. Taft given
in his written interview of September
Is, to the effect that the In
dependistias in the Philippines prefer
a Republican victory to Mr.. Bryan's
promise.
when this appeared Mr.. Fiske
Warren of Boston, cabled to Mr.. AL
bert Barretto of Manila, as follows:
Taft declares, Independistias pre-
fer Republican triumph. Is this true
I desire immediate authoritative
opinion of Center or of yourself as
president
-''I might explain that the Center is
the governing body of the Nationalist
party and is composed of representa-
tives elected from each of the 80
provinces. Mr.. Warren received the
following reply:
Nationalist party, with i'm
mediate Independence creed prefers
triumph of the Democrats General
convention of the 18th of July agreed
unanimously and join enthusiastically
Bryan's platform. (Signed.)
ALBERTO BARRETTO.
President
1.-The Nationalist party is the
largest group in the Philippines as
sembly and it according to Mr..
Barretto is unanimously opposed to
Mr.. Taft's election. On June IS, the
Philippine assembly, by a vote of 54 to
Is, declared that the people desired
immediate independence. If Mr.. Taft
wants to defend his policy on the
ground that it ought to be adopted
whether the Filipinos want it or not,
he can do so, but he can not bring
to the support of his position. any
authoritative declaration by any con-
siderable portion of the Filipinos."

The long distance message was
from man who says he is the broth
er of the dead man. Repeated efforts
to get the name, either of the brother
or the dead man. were unsuccessful,
owing to the weak service on the tel
ephone line, but DIR. Keith gathered
that the brother in Jacksonville would
leave at once for Topeka and arrive
here either Sunday night or early
Monday morning.
When found, the young man wore
shoes which bore the mark of Jack
sonville, Ill, dealer. and for that reas-
on, the chief of police in that city was
notified. OF course, it is possible that
the Jacksonville man may be mistak-
en- in the identity of the dead man, as
he had nothing but meagre descrip-
ing photograph was taken of the
stranger after his DEATH, by order OF
Sheriff Wilkerson, in hopes that it
might lead to an Identification. The
picture is a good one, and as the feat
ures were not mangled, the possible
brother should be able to identify by
the photographs.
A coroner's inquest will be held Sep
tember 80. 1t is postponed to that
date in hopes that some evidence
might be secured in the meantime.
A description of the young man:
Age from IS to %, hard to determine
closer. Height, about feet Il :
weight about 145. Dark, almost
black. hair, and heavy brows and
Iashes. Has at some time undergone
operation for appendicitis, according
to Dhvsicians who examined a scar
in the groin.

FIRE.
Big Building Endangered by
Careless Cigarette Smokers.
Damaged One of the Dressing
Rooms in Rear.

The fire department had narrow es-
cape from being burned out this morn
ing. At 1926 workmen in the front of
the Auditorium discovered smoke issu-
ing in clouds from the rear of the
building and they at once informed the
janitor who made a rush to the head
quarters of the fire department situa-
ted in the north end of the structure.
1t was bad scare for the department
and the whole crew sailed forth with
everything they could use to extinguish
the blaze. They found the north dress
ing room just off from the stage in
flames and with the chemical and
buckets they quickly blotted out the
fire.
The cause of the fire is unknown.
The janitor said he had placed some
waste paper in the rear of the room
early this morning and intended to re-
move the litter this evening. He
knows of no one who could have been
in the room since he left it and the
guess by Chief Wilmarth that the fire
was probably caused by cigarettes from
workmen remains as the only clue.
The loss to the building is practically
nothing as only the walls were scorch-
ed In speaking of the fire Chief Will
marth said: IT was a dangerous fire
and we can consider. ourselves lucky
that the workmen discovered it when
they did. Starting as it did, in the
rear of the building and just behind
the pipe organ we feel more than pleas
ed at the outcome"
Somehow or other the report got cir
culated around the city that the Audi
torium was burning and the telephone
calls and rush of crowds to the build
ing caused considerable excitement.
