Whist Gamblers.

WHEELING, Sept. 3.-Since the lid
has been placed down so squelchingly
on the professional gambling ey
Wheeling by the state and city au-
thorities, no little interest is added
to the situation by the report that
Wheeling women in the smarter fash
ion sets are playing whist for Sigh
stakes on a professional scale.
A certain Wheeling woman accept
ed an invitation to attend "quiet
little whist party few days ago. At
Ahe conclusion Of play her hostess
smilingly approached her with the in
formation that she owed $3.50.
What for?" the guest asked in a
surprised tone. n
ooh, you see, my dear. we play for
money" came the explanation. Mrs.
Blank the guest was good sport and
paid up but she has sworn of on
whist parties as she is devout
church member
The amount she lost, however. is
said to be comparatively small sum.
enist parties where guests find them
selves out to the extent of S25 or
more after few hours of play are
claimed TO be common though from
the attitude of Indifference assumed
by the authorities 1t would seem that
such trivial things are not to be
thought Of in the gambling category.

To See Bryan on

Miss Ellen Stone. the missionary sue
cessfulIy held for ransom by Turkish
brigands several years ago. called at the
State Department yesterday to urge Sec
ietary Bryan to use his influence to have
passed by Congress the bill .refunding
the $4,000 raised by subscription Tor
her ransom She had an appointment
with Mr. Bryan for Saturday, but has
not yet been able to see him.
The bill for the refund Of this money
has been passed four times by the Sen
ate." said Miss Stone yesterday after
noon. "It is really an obligation which
this government has assumed. and ] feel
that I should do my utmost toward its
success Secretary Root practically
pledged the government Of the United
States to make good the sum subscribed
for the purchase of my liberty. the
United States government not having
such a sum as $s7 900 available for the
purpose.
THE Senate has recognized the validity
Of the obligation, and passed the measure
four times, and It has also been re-
ported favorably to the House by the
Committee on Claims, but somehow II
always seems to get lost between the

I'm view of the fact that the products

taxpayers OF the city, no opposition In
regard to this labor is expected from the

Union some time ago, W. II. Whitaker.

the satisfaction OF the delegates tnat
the labor of the prisoners would in no
way compete with union labor. Tne
prisoners are daily producing 10 yards of
crushed stone and 5000 bricks. Several
orders for bricks to be used in the con-
struction or school buildings and
crushed stone and paving bricks for

Engineer Commissioner Hard
ing Believes Companies
Within Laws Scope.
RATE INQUIRY MAY COME
Investisaton Would Disclose High
Rates Of Charges Levied
in Warrington.

Engineer Commissioner Chester Hard
ing. chairman Of the Public Utilities
Commission, yesterday announced the
a manner as to fairly warn the taxicab
people that in the opinion OF the COM
mission the public utilities law is clear
in including the taxicab and transfer
firms under the Jurisdiction of that body.
1t was for the purpose of considering the
question raised by these companies as
to the jurisdiction of the commission that
the hearing was held.
Commissioner-elect Frederick l. Sid
dons sat with the commission through
the hearing. In all probability, it will
remain for the new board to formulate
the decision of the utilities body's juris-
diction. Commissioner Rudolph took part
in the hearing yesterday, but II is ex-
pected that he will have retired from
the board before a ruling in the taxicab
matter has been made.
Common Carriers Denied.
Representatives of the Federal and
Terminal Taxicab companies appearing
before the commission, declared that be-
cause of their refusal to carry certain
classes of passengers they are not COM
mon carriers" and. therefore. are not
subject to the public utilities law. They
stated tndt tneE OlscrlmlnateQ against
members of the negro race. and that
they refused to carry people whose credit
was not good. They contended that they
are not public service corporations. but
private businesses.
In view of Col Harding's opening an
nouncement, a decision to the contrary
is expected. If such decision is reached
by the commission, an Immediate inves-
tigation OF the rate schedule OF the
taxicab companies will he made and
such charges ordered as are considered to
be demanded. There We're indications
that these Investigations would bring out
some interesting facts. such as the de-
tails OF the various contracts between the
the Washington Terminal Company,
whereby the cab companies are enabled
to get a monopoly or the business at
these places by investing some of their
surplus receipts IN the rental or pubic
streets and tnorougnfares. The practice
OF renting public streets for use as prI-
vate cab stands was nrst pointed out py
The Washington Herald, ana repeated
demand has been made in its columns
that the authority OF the companies to
monopoIIze the streets be investigated
Present eNorbitant taXicab rates were
first questioned by The Herald. The
companies charge 40 cents TOR the nrst
mile and 10 cents for each additional
quarter mile. Some testimony regard
ing the unjust extravaganza of the pres
ent rates was Unexpectedly injected into
Yesterdays hearing. wnen Jonp r. DAVIS.

Forty Cents Rate.
Mr.. Davis stated that he carries pas
sengers for 10 cents q mile. II he were
permitted to share In the hotel trade, he
said that he could AFFORD to cut the price
to s5 cents a mile. This Is still lower
than the price which was suggested as
a fair one by The Herald after careful
investigation. The Herald stated that
fair charge would seem 40 cents a mile

Commissioner Harding informed Mr..
Davis that his testimony had % bearing
upon the question at issue-that OF the

panies-but, he added. 1t would be taken
up later and considered by the Commits
sioners.
An automobile driver doing business
undo. a hackman's license has placed in
formation before The Herald that, all told.
his outlay in operating and maintaining
his car amounts to a little less than u
cents a mile. His car Is one of a late
model. Is kept in thorough repair, clean,
and well cared for.
The taxic=o companies estimate that
their costs of operation and maintenance
average a little more than 55 cents a
mile. This seems to show the decreased
efficiency Of big corporation compared
with the individual. The private driver
claims he could make a good profit
charging 30 cents a mile: the big cor
poration maintains that 1t barely pays
fair profits operating at a charge Of 20
cents a mile.
Attorney George s. Dunlap represented
the Terminal Taxicab Company. and At
torney S. B. Hayden appeared for the
Federal Company. Both attorneys stated
that the taxicab companies draw the
color line. They claimed that their busi-
ness is of private contract nature, and
that the public has no vested right in 1t,
and urged that for these reasons the
companies are not common carriers with

law.
