MOTION TOQUASH
new Man WRIT
Counsel for Commissioner
Also File Demurrer
to Petition.
EIGHT REASONS GIVEN
Claim Court Cannot Review Quali6ca-
lions of Man Named by President
and Confirmed BY Senate.
EIGHT REASONS GIVEN

Counsel for Oliver P. Newman yester-
day filed demurrer to the petition and
a motion to quash the writ of quo
warranto issued against Mr.. Newman
in the proceedings to oust him from the
Office of District Commissioner.
Eight reasons for quashing the writ
are set forth in the demurrer. the first
being that William F. Frizzell. member
Of the Home Rule Committee" who
brought the suit against Mr.. Newman.
does not show that he has such an in
terest in the issuance of the writ as to
entitle him to invoke the discretion of the
court in obtaining the writ. II is claimed
that the Attorney General or the United
States Attorney for the District alone
can bring suit 1t also is claimed that.
inasmuch as Mr.. Newman was appointed
by the President and confirmed by the
Senate. their conclusions are final, and
no power Of review as to his qualifica-
tions resides in any court, and that the
exercise of any such power would be an
infringement upon the powers of a CO.
ordinate branch Of the government.
subject to Removal.
The appointment of Mr.. Newman, it is
further claimed. was for a term of three
years. and it is pointed out that during
that period he is subject to removal by
the President at any time, and that
writ of quo warrantO will not lie in any
instance where the appointee is at all
times subject to removal by the appoint
ing power. The assertion is made that
no public interest could be subserved by
the issuance of the writ
The court is told that Mr.. FrizZell has
not shown any interest in the office of
District Commissioner itself as contem-
plated by the statute. and has, there
fore, no interest upon which could be
based any application for leave to fiA
the petition. II also is Averred that JUS
tice Wright made no inquiry as to the
motives of Mr.. Frizzell to determine
whether the discretion of the court should
be exercised TO permit the filing Of the
petition.
Mr.. Newman's counsel contends that
ii does not appear that the United States
Attorney for the District has refused 10
institute the proceedings at the request
of Mr. Frizzell, and therefore the latter
has no right to begin the action himself.

Method Is simple.

The method of hiring cabs at the
hotel stands when one is not a guest
of the hotel is simple. according to per-
sons willing to testify before the COM
mission. One has merely to signify his
need and the hotel people do the rest
The hotel gets a percentage of the fares
for the privilege of renting exclusive
cab service.
Attorney James A. O'Shea, representing
the individual taxicab drivers, was pres
ent at the hearing. The individual drivers
are anxious to see the taxicab companies
placed under the jurisdiction of the Pub
lie Utilities Commission, so that all con-
cerned will have an equal opportunity to
do a general hacking business.
