CASE Of THE TAX|CAb
TAKESANEW TURN
Utilities Boards Control May
Not Hinge on Common Car
rier Interpretation.

Decision by the public utilities commits
sion as to whether 1t has Jurisdiction over
taxicab companies operating in the Dis
trict OF Columbia may not be based upon
It's conclusion as to whether the compa-
MES are common carriers. Commissioner
Newman intimated this much to the at
torney OF the concerns yesterday. when
he stated that he was not prepared to
concede that the question Of jurisdiction
would be determined alone by the charac-
ter Of business the taxi interests are en-
gagged in.
Announcement a Surprise.
The announcement caused some sur
prise. as the general impression has been
that the commission would decide that it
has no jurisdiction over the companies II
they were not common carriers
1t is not likely that the utilities board
will hand down a decision before the
middle or latter part OF next week. At
torneys for the taxicab companies have
two weeks in which to file briefs. In the
event their contentious should not be
sustained. IL lis more than probable that
the case will be taken to the courts.
May Ask Change in Law.
1t has been suggested. also. that the
Commissioners may ask Congress to
amend the law SO as to expressly desig-
nate taxicabs as common carriers, in the
event their decision on this point should
be unfavorable to the companies and an
appeal taken

COURT RULES ON RENEWAL
OF INSURANCE POLICIES
Case Decided by Justice Clabaugh Of
Great Interest in
This Section.

Hearing was had today before Chief
Justice Clabaugh upon a rule to show
cause issued at the instance of Samuel
H. Moore & Co. against Louis H. Sta
bier & Co.. requiring the latter to show
cause why they should not be enjoined
from placing certain renewal casualty
insurance with the Massachusetts,
Building and Insurance Company.
The hearing developed the fact that
Stabler & Co. had placed with Moore &
Co. certain policies OF insurance. all Of
which policies by their terms expired
within one year. The plaintiff claimed
that 1t had q right to this insurance for
the second and succeeding years. whereas
the defendant in his answer to the rule
took the position that when these policies
expired he violated no duty to the plain
tiff in arranging to renew such policies
with the Massachusetts, Bonding and In
surance Company. with which the de-
PENDANT had in the meanwhile formed
the relation Of general agent in and for
the District Of Columbia.

BR|STOW DOUBTS
CURRENCY VICTORY
Passage by Senate OF Any
Legislation Is Unlikely,
KanSan Declares.

Currency legislation doomed up today
as a paramount issue on the Senate SIDE
of the Capitol. with the administration
tariff law within a few days of the
statute books. A series OF conferences
at the White House and at the Capitol
endeavored to bring some sort of order
out OF the confused situation surrounding
the administration currency bill In the
Senate banking and currency committee
After Chairman owen and Senator
Shafroth Of the committee had discussed
the situation with the President they
conferred with other members OF the
committee Meme OF the democratic
a prophecy as to the course of the bill.
but Senator Bristow Of Kansas declared
he believed there was little chance OF
currency legislation at this session Of
Congress.
Passage This Session Unlikely.
Il presume that some sort Of bill
will be reported. In some way, in a month
or So" said Senator Bristow. There will
be several minority reports. Whether the
President will be able to get the demo-
Gratis on the committee together, includ-
ing Senators Reed OGorman and Hitch
cock. l cannot say, but that hardly seems
likely, unless the bill is radically
changed. There Is not likely to be any
currency bill passed by the Senate at
this session
An expert discussion Of the administra-
ton currency bill was given before the
committee today by Charles A. Conant OF
New York. Mr. Conant devised the cur
rency systems now operating In the Phil
ippines and in Panama.
Mr.. Conant Endorsed the theory and
general principles of the bill. He said
that the plan of issuing money on rigid
security such as bonds was not a means
Of providing an elastic currency. He
favored the scheme in the bill OF issuing
currency on short-time commercial paper

Would Endanger Race.

Il do not take this position because
am an enemy Of the colored man." said
the Mississippi senator. Il want to see
him prosper and enjoy life, and I be-
lieve in giving him every protection
necessary for his well being. But I un-
hesita tingly assert that political equal
tty for the colored race leads to social
equality. Social equality leads to race
amalgamation, and race amaigama ton
to deterioration and disintegration.
You people Of the north do not under
stand this problem as we do in the
south, but the time is coming-in fact,
Is almost here. when the question will
be nearly as acute in the north as in
the south.
Il expect to favor and urge the en-
actment of laws for this country that
will make perfect the social and po-
litical segregation of the white and
colored races We cannot now follow
the idea Of Lincoln and send the col
ored man away to a country OF his
own. The next best thing, therefore, Is
to bring about complete segregation.

OPPOSES COLORED MEN

Would Lead Finally to Race
AmaIgamation.

Yes, I will vigorously oppose the con-
firmation Of every colored man nominated
for federal office except minister to Ii
beria." declared Senator vardaman of
Mississippi to a Star reporter today.
1t is the attitude of Senator Vardaman
and Of other southern senators that has
caused President Wilson to hesitate as to
the policy he will pursue in the appoint
ment Of colored men to federal office. The
clamor at the White House for recogni-
ton OF the colored race is growing more
insistent each day, and the President. as
stated in The Star yesterday. is having
the Senate sounded as to what he may
expect in future nominations.
