GARAGE REGULATIONS
UPHELD BY THE COURT
Attempt to Convert Private Garage
Into Public One Is
Forestalled.

The District Court OF Appeals today sus-
tained the building regulation which re-
quires consent of property owners before
a public garage may be established or
maintained. Charles Early applied for a
permit to build private garage and then
attempted to convert 1t into a public ga
rage. without securing a license TO do SO
from the assessor. Information was laid
against him in the Police Court. where
proceedings were suspended pending an
application for mandamus.
Mr.. Early contended that the regulation
was void because he had the right to a
license under the license law of July l..
1902. and that in any event the require
ment of consents Of property owners was
an unlaw delegation of the Commits
sioners' authority to make building reg
ulations.
Justice Van Orsdel, in announcing tho
opinion of the appellate court, held both
these contentious unfounded and affirm
ed the action of the lower court
Another case decided in favor of the
District by the appellate court involved
the question of an assessment by a jury
of condemnation of benefits for the es-
tablishment of building line on Park
road northwest. The court held the
notice published in the papers was suf-
ficent under the code and that the act
under which the case was filed is con-
stitutional under the authority Of the
Martin case in the United States Su-
preme Court.

Car Companies Responsible
for Passengers Safety. :,
APPELLATE COURT RULING
District Supreme Court Verdict Is
Reversed in Hart Case.
DANGER" NOTICE NOT VALID
Company Cannot Permit or Greats
Custom, Judge Van
Orsdel Holds.

The street railway companies OF WASH
ington cannot deliberately permit and
create custom OF hauling passengers on
the platforms of the cars and escape la
bility for accidents occurring through
their opera ton with relation to those par
ticular passengers
Neither can they escape the obliga-
ton imposed by the custom OF posting a
notice warning passengers 1t Is danger
GUS to ride on the platform The custom
thus established Is equivalent to an inyi-
tation to passengers to occupy and ride
upon the platforms. and the mere post
ing OF such notice will not relieve the
company from liability
These rules were laid down today by
Justice Van Orsdel of the District Court
OF Appeals in an opinion reversing the
Judgment of the District Supreme Court
in the case of Abraham Hart, a passenger
on Capital Traction car. who was in
jured near midnight OF February IS, 1905.

the company was Obliged to accommo-
date its rate of motion only to the
safety OF the seated passengers The
jury found for the company under this
Interpretation OF the law. Mr.. Harg
appealed.
Crowded Cars Involved.
Justice Van Orsdel says this view Of
the law would be correct IL it were the
custom and rule OF the company 10 take
on passengers only to the number which
1t could accommodate with seats. The
Appellate Court, however, takes judicial
notice that I'm the operation of the cars
OF tne oerendant company lit Is the Gus
tom not only to permit passengers to ride
upon the platforms Of the cars, but to
permit the cars to be SO crowded as fire.
quently to compel passengers to ride
there
This being the customary method Of
transporting passengerA" says Justice
Van Orsdel. the company cannot estab-
lfsh one rule Of diligence as to the safety
or seated paSsengers, another as to stra D
hangers and still another as to persons
riding on the platforms.
IF the company had posted a motto,
prohibiting passengers from standing on
the platform and In pursuance OF it's en-
forcement furnished accommodate ton in
side the cars at all times for all its pas
sengers. while it could not prevent a pas
senger from riding on the platform, its
duty to such passenger would be meas
ured by its duty to the passengers inside
the car.
ut is beside the case continues the
justice, that In this instance the plain
till was occupying the platform when
there were vacant seats inside the car.
He was riding in one Of the customary
places affored by the company for haul.
ing passengers, and he was entitled to
rely upon the company's operating fits

In which they are run with respect to
the safety OF all passengers.

Appalled, at the Result.

To say that the republican leaders art
appalled, at the result of this canvass
would be putting il mildly. The method
in which the test vote was taken givef
them saddened confidence in its dir I
omen
One significant feature Of the canvas
iust completed was the ret!cence of thy
voter approached. 1t was designed to takf
thirty votes in each prescribed area and
Cassfy them. The canvassers reported
that they had to approach about 2O9
men before they could get thirty OF then,
10 tell what they were going TO do at
the polls. The other ITO refused TO dis
lose their intention.
II was found that the greatest proper
lion of detection among the republicans
was in the business mems votes and in
the German vote. The Hebrew and Irish
vote showed up about the same as two
years ago.
Another feature disclosed was that there
was very slight DETECTION to Stimson of
voters who voted for Chanler. Hearst's s
candidate. four years ago.
Roosevelt Makes Big Hit.
Col. Roosevelt certainly did warm 'em
up In this old town last night and the

TIE colonel made nine speeches and COW
cred great area To be sure, they were
short, and he had to move around so
swiftly that the audiences could hardly
do moro than say: There he comes,
Here he ie,'' and There he goes" But
The point was that he captured the crowd
wherever he "lit."
When he climbed a hrescape to gain
entrance TO a hall which the crowd be-
sieged he made a hit. of course. The
leaders felt today that the colonel made
votes for the ticket in his tour and they
only wish he could put in the remainder
OF the week in this city.
And while this was going on. Frank e.
Crumbie. prominent member of the re-
publican club and delegate to the re-
publican state convention, was announc-
ing the organization of Dix republican
