SAY THAT TAX|CAbS
DISOBEY THE RULES
Evidence to Show Those at
Hotel Engage as Com
mon Carriers.

Capt. Julian l.. Schley, assistant engi-
neer commissioner. who is executive Off
Ger of the public utilities commission.
and ]. G. Williams, statistician and &C
countant OF the commission, appeared in
the role Of detectives at a hearing given
by the utilities board today to determine
the jurisdiction Of that body over local
taxicab companies.
They told OF obtaining evidence tending
to show that taxicab concerns claiming to
do only a private hack business age In
reality common carriers. The officials, II
was testified. hired several taxis at hotel
stands. always approaching the vehicles
from the opposite side OF the street, and
We're never asked II they we're hotel
guests.
One of the contentious Of the taxicab
companies has been that their contracts
with hotels call for a private service for
the hotel guests. and that q public bust
ness is not engaged in at these points.
The testimony Of Capt. Schley and Mr..
Williams, 1t is conceded. will have an i'm
portant bearing on the decision to be
reached by the Commissioners as to
whether the companies are common car
riers and. as such. come under the juris-
dtction OF the commission.
Protracted Hearing Today.
The hearing this morning lasted
more than three hours and will be re-
sumed again Monday morning at 10
o'clock Attorneys g. T. Dunlop and
Samuel " Hayden, representing. re-
spectively, the Terminal and Federal
Taxicab companies, expressed surprise
at the testimony given by the utilities
commission officials and limited that
some of the drivers in the employ of
the companies will be dismissed
John j. Boobar. secretary Of the
Terminal Taxicab Company, testified that
he had warned the drivers of that con-
engaging In private hack business only
and that only those persons who were
guests at hotels should be accepted as
passengers at the hotel stands
Both Capt. Schley and Mr.. Williams
testified that they had hired taxis at
hotel stands since July I. The investti-
cations OF the commissions representa-
tives were made between July % and
August 4, during which time. it was
testified. they engaged taxicabs In front
of the Shoreham. Ebbitt, Willard and
Raleigh hotels.
Drivers Not Deceived.
Always they approached the vehicles
from the opposite sides Of the street. so
that the drivers had every opportunity
to see that they did not leave the hotels,
according to the information given the
con- mission.
Attorneys for the companies charac-
terized' the instances reported by Capt
Schley and Mr.. Williams as "isola ted
cases" They asked for an oppol1enity
to present evidence in rebuttal, the
commission deciding to continue the
hearing until Monday. 1t is expected
that decision in the matter will be
reached by the latter part of next
week.

in court at st. Paul of the Hartman
dissolution plan was the one develop
ment of day which otherwise was
featureless. The plan contained no
surprises. its essential features hay
ing been known for some time. bat
the Hartman stocks slumped and the
whole list sold off on the news from
st. Paul, although the market rose
strongly on Saturday. when it WAS
announced that the plan had been
agreed upon. with the sanction of
President Wilson The explanation
given by traders for the markets ac-
ton was the character of the state
ment made by the attorney general
concerning the plan. The attorney
generals intimation that he favored
prohibition eff the ownership of stock
of one railroad by another and his
request that the court approve the
dissolution proposal subject to con-
ditions which would not exempt
stockholders under the plan for be-
coming defendants in any future suit
We're points used as q basis for sell
ing stocks. Union Pacific responded
the more readily to pressure because
of the extent of it's rise on Saturday
and the contraction of short interests
on the rise, which apparently was due
largely to covering. Union Pacific
and Southern Pacific both sold down
three points.
The decline in the Hartman stocks
fitted in with the general tendency OF
the market, which WAS dull and
heavy. Although there was an oc-
casional rally, gains were not well
held and losses of l to points were
frequent.
