RULING IN IMPORTANT CASE.
Court Defines Whom Hotel Taxicabs
Can Carry.

"A person is a guest of hotel so long
as he places himself under its protection
and pays for the privileges offered by 1t,
such as procuring meal or utilizing a
bath Under such circumstances a man
may be just as much of guest as those
persons regularly entered on the hotel
register
The foregoing was the comment Of
Judge kimball of the Police Court today
in granting d. motion to quash the in
formation against Arthur l.. Cline, man
ager of a local taxicab company.
charged with violating the District hack
regulations in permitting his hotel
leased taxicabs to haul persons other
were leased. The question was an eX-
ceedingly important one, and defined
whom hotel taXicabs are permitted to
carry.
The case is the elimination of COM
plants filed recently relative to taxicahs
hauling persons other than guests Of
hotels. and it was decided by persons in
terested to have the matter decided at as
early a date as possible. After the ruling
of the court James l.. Pugh, assistant
prosecution, filed notice of an appeal. 1t
was stated later the case would in all
proba bility be taken TO the upper courts.
1t was contended by the defense that
any person availing themselves of the
privileges of a hotel could legally be term
ed guests of the hotel so long as these
privileges continued. During the course
of the defense's arguments letter dated
January 10 from the corpora ton counsel
of the District was submitted TO sthe
court. \ perusal of its contents contirm-
ed practically all of the defendants con-
tentions.
The complaint against the defendant
was the result of Hack Inspector Dawson
| filing u charge upon the strength of a
taXicab of the Willard Hotel carrying a
United States senator and a prominent
citizen to their homes after they had
each eaten a meal in that hOstelry.
