WAR VESSELS ACTIVITY
DISTURBING SHIPPING

LONDON, Jan. 24.-The activity OF
italian war vessels in the Mediterrane-
an and Red seas is causing increasing
uneasiness in shipping insurance cir
cles. Several large assurances have
effected during the past two days at
Lloyd's in this connection. A premium
OF per cent was accepted to cover
the risk of an outbreak OF hostilities
between France and Italy in the course
OF the next four months, and although
there is no apparent reason for such an
acceptance. a premium of per cent
was paid on the risk OF the outbreak
OF war between Great Britain and
France and Germany within the next
six months.
The Italian action in stopping steam
ers. irrespective of their nationality,
and searching them for Turkish officers
and contraband is believed to be an evil
dence OF the determination OF the Itai-
ian government to put an end to Turk
ish resistance in Tripoli as speedily as
possible. 1t is thought however. that
the Italian activity may give rise to
complications with those European
powers whose shipping is put to incon-
venience.

R0BBING WITH IMMUNITY

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-Investigation
Of the taxicab situation in New York
city by Mayor Gaynor's personal repre-

will probably result in the adoption or
new legislation to govern the business.
The commissioner report recommends
a reduction Of, about so per cent in
taxi charges and the abolition of prl-
vate hack stands in front Of hotels and
restaurants. 1t was shown that over
SS60,00O is paid annually by the cab
companies to the hotels and restau-
that form the stands.
AS to fares the report of the com.
missioner says that the present gen
eral rate for taxicab is 81 for the first
mile and so cents for each additional
half mile. 1t recommends that this be
cut down to so cents for the first mile
and 40 cents for each mile afterward.
The report adds:
AT present the legal maximum rate
is violated with impunity by almost
every taxicab in the city of New York.
