CAB HIRE HIGHER
Price Per Hour Of New York Taxi

NEW YORK April 8.-New York
ers who already are paying more for
their carriage hire than any large city
in the world, will have something like
$2s0000 a year added to their taxicab
bill beginning today. The New York
Taxicab Company, which owns and
operates about half of the 1000 taxi
cabs in the city today puts into effect
an increase from thirty cents to 50
cents as an initial charge, with $3.50
instead of 81 per hour as the waiting
charge Twenty cents is to be charg-
ed for each piece Of baggage carried.
1t is announced that the demand for
horseless public carriages is exceed
ing the supply in New York, although
the direct cause OF the increase in
rates is said to be the poor returns
from the Short haul" business to
which the company looked for profits,
1t is expected that the smaller tax
icab companies will probably follow
the lead of the larger concern.

WASHINGTON. D. c. April g.
President Taft today sent to the Sen
ate The nomination Of T, Calder Pow.
ell. OF Portland, as United States
Marshal at Nome, Alaska. Vigorous
protests we're 6led by Francis j.
Heney and Senator Bourne against
the appointment. Recommendation
from Alaska were to the effect that
Powell had made the best marshal
Alaska ever had.
7. cader Powell was formerly q
deputy Multnomah County official
and prominent in politics, He was
appointed United States Marshal at
Nome upon the recommendation Of
c. w. Fulton. by Theodore Roosevelt.
four years ago, When Francis j.
Heney was investigating the Oregon
land frauds, he also investigated Port
land politics, and as a result he filed
protests against the reappointment OF
Powell with President Taft, Serious
charges were preferred, but President
Taft paid no attention to them. There
were also protests fled against Pow
ell by Portland citizens, who reverted
70 his record as a county official,
The material on which the charges
against Powell were founded was dis.
covered after he had received his com
mission from Roosevelt, Even then
an atiepmt was made to rescind the
appointment or, at least, have Powell
answer the accusations, but Powell
was then crossing the ice and beyond
communication with the outside
world, Powell was one of the last
people to get into Alaska at that
time. and months elapsed before he
could be heard from again. Com
munieation was reopened. the Powell
incident was forgotten in the stress
OF other business.
Prior to his securing the Federal
job at Nome, Powell was among the
most active politicians in the Mitchell
machine in Portland, and was close
personal friend Of Fulton before the
latter was elected to the United States
Senate. Powell secured the Marshal
ship at Nome through the testimon-
ial OF Fulton when Roosevelt asked
for an "outside man" a man who
could make the arduous trip over the
ice and reach Nome without delay,
for there had been a general shake
up among the Federal officials in
Alaska at the time.

were purposely r.atiliated.
1t would not be surprising, in view
OF unsatisfactory conditions, If the
American government should take
active steps to end the existing state
of affairs in Central America, and no
tify Nicaragua that henceforth peace
must prevail at all hazards. Moral
suasion with Nicaragua has failed to
accomplish the object sought, inn
pressing upon the United States and
Mexican governments that there be a
cessation of contentious which have
kept the Central American republics
constantly guessing. Intervention in
Central American affairs has been
talked Of unoficially.
There is something serious in
the question is evidenced by the fact
that American war vessels are retain
ed in Central American waters, and
only yesterday the cruiser North Da'
kota sailed from Magdalena Bay for
Honduras. While there is no possi-
bility of war between this country
and the Central American states, the
United States government is deter
mined that frictions shall cease and in
the event Of failure to come to an
amicable agreement, the government
will take hand.

that in all committee amendments

HORRIBLE PERIL MAKES
ITSELF APPARENT
FIRE IN A NEW YORK SUBWAY
TRAIN CAUSES RIOTOUS
PANIC ALL SAFE.

NEW YORK, April 8.-Fire, par
ticularly dreaded by subway passeng-
ers, broke out in a southbound ex-
press train last night and caused three
hundred panic stricken passengers to
fight desperately for escape from the
burning train. Fortunately the ac-
cident occurred at point in the
Bronx where for a short distance the
subway tracks run on an elevated
structure SO that the people were con-
fined as closely as they would have
been in the tunnel. AS it was how
ever. three of the cars were filled al
most to the point Of suffocation by a
dense smoke which followed an ex-
plosion in the motorbox.
Despite the assurances of the guard
and few calm passengers, women
screamed and rushed for the rear cars.
With high wind tanning the flames,
the two front cars were soon ablaze.
The motorman applied the air brakes
and brought the train to sudden
stop between stations.
When the guards finally threw open
the doors, men women and children
streamed out on the structure almost
regardless of the dangerous third rail
and made their way for three city
blocks to the Jackson Street station
where they gained the street.
The three forward cars Of the train
were damaged before the flames were
extinguished and traffic was delayed
for some time.
