TALKS TO AMBASSADOR
ABOUT PACIFIC FAIR
Dudley Field Malone Is the
Guest of Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice.

DUBLIN, N. H.. August 4-Great Brit
aims decision not to participate in the
Panama-Pacific exposition was discussed
by the British ambassador. Sir Cecil
Spring Rice. and his weekend guest.
Dudley Field Malone. third assistant Sec
rotary OF state. at the British summer
embassy here
Mr.. Malone arrived Saturday. Regard
ing his conference with the ambassador
he said today:
MY work in the State Department is
concerned with the Panama-Pacific expo
sition- You may draw your own conclu-
sions. I am here just as a weekend
guest think IL Is no more unusual for
an Irishman to visit British ambas-
sador than It Is for British ambassa-
dor to choose Dublin for his residence
Satisfied With Explanation.
The United States government does not
view the declination Of European govern
ments to participate In the Panama-Pa-
cific exposition at San Francisco in 1915
as In any way the result OF international
friction over treaties or pending contro-
versies
This expression came from one OF the
highest officials In the government to-
day. who privately expressed his SYM
pathy with the explanation made by the
powers that the numerous expositions
had constituted an unusual drain on
resources. He made 1t clear. however.
that the American government. includ-
ing President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan, were satisfied with the sincerity
Of the explanation being made abroad.
though they still hoped the governments
would find Il possible to participate.
Flat denial that the United States be-
lieved Great Britain's declinAtion resulted
from feeling over the Panama canal con-
troversy was obtainable from many gov
eminent officials here.
LONDON, August 4.-The Standard and
the Chronicle, in editorials this morning,
warmly repudiate the idea that the Pan
anna canal tolls act had anything to do
with Great Britain's decision not to par
ticipate in the Panama-Pacific exposition
at San Francisco. The newspapers say
they hope the American press will accept
It is understood that an effort will be
made to influence the British board Of
trade to reconsider it's decision. which is
said to have been based on a feeling that
the probable benefits to be derived from
the exposition did not warrant the ex-
pense OF taking part in 1t.
In some quarters il is thought that the
clause in the regulations governing the
operation Of the Panama canal, which
ping from the tolls proposed for foreign
vessels, had something to do with the
disinclination Of the commercial interests
of England to be represented at San
Francisco. In any event the state de-
partment has taken cognizance Of the
situation. and Secretary Malone's present
mission IL designed to counterfeit what
ever feeling has Influenced the attitude
at London.
It is understood that Mr.. Malone will
also visit the summer embassies at New
port of Russia and Germany on a similar
errand, as Russia already has announced
an intention not to share in the expo
sition, while Germany Is disposed to fol-
low the lead Of England.

INTEREST IS AROUSED
IN TAXI REFORM PLAN
Regulations to Reduce Rates
and Correct Abuses Fa-
vorabIy Considered.

Much interest has been aroused by the
exclusive announcement in The Sunday
Star Of suggested plan by which the
Commissioners OF the District of Column
bia might take action in regard to regu-
lating certain practices Of the taxicab
companies and hotels Of Washington with
view to obtaining reduced rates and the
removal Of certain alleged abuses.
The fact that considerable doubt exists
as to the authority OF the District Com
missioners. acting as the public utilities
commission, to take action against the
these companies that they are not CON-
mon carriers within the meaning Of the
law and the inevitable delay in getting
final action in the matter If 1t becomes
necessary to wait upon the courts for q
decision as to authority and jurisdiction,
makes the suggestion that certain areas
of the downtown streets OF Washington
be declared public cab stands appear to
be the quickest and most logical solution
of the problem.
Newman Considering Plan.
Commissioner Newman, when his at
tention was called today to the suggestion
as printed in The Sunday Star. said that
the plan on its face seemed to be a good
one to him, and that he would lay 1t be-
fore the Board Of Commissioners at once.
The Commissioner believes that neither
hotel companies nor private individuals
have any right to exact rental from any
Quasi-public service concern for the use
of any part OF the public streets. II such
rental is exacted in the form OF a per-
centage of receipts, the case is not al
tered in the least, the Commissioner be-
lieves.
The Commissioners OF the District OF
Columbia have the power and authority
to set aside portions Of the public streets
for certain purposes, among these being
public cab stands, several Of which AL
ready exist In various parts OF the city.
Commissioners Have Power.
Should the Commissioners declare parts
OF the streets adjacent to some OF the
downtown hotels public cab stands. the
use Of which would be free to any driver
OF a conveyance. taxicab or other, the
hotels would be unable to exact rental
for the use Of the streets, no matter
whether 1t was in the form OF percent
age or direct rent.
The necessity of paying hotels for the
privilege Of allowing their vehicles tc
stand on the public streets in front OF
such hotels has been given as one OF
the principal reasons why the taxicat
companies would not reduce their rates
With this necessity removed. the com.
panies would be unable to make such 6
plea, and it Is believed a system of eQui.
table and fair rates would speedily be
put into effect.

The strike of farm laborers which has
been dragging q weary course for some
time in the south and west of Lanca-
shire has terminated in a resolution on
the part Of both sides to adjust their diff
ferences. A conference held in the be-
ginning Of the week between representa-

understanding to be arrived at whereby
work will be Immediately resumed.
There are matters still to be adjusted
to mutual satisfaction, but it is felt that,
however difficult the half-holiday question

and masters and men will meet, 1t liz
hoped, on the old footing.
