.TAXICABS CLAIM
! NO JURISDICTION
Company Officials Say They
Are Not Under Public
Utilities Commission.
CRITICISE HOTEL RENTAL
Washington Streets Are EARNED OUT
and Hostelries Collect
Tribute.

When the hearings are opened by the
Public Utilities Commission on the
Washington taxicab business, the FIRST
Testimony that will be considered by that
body will be such as the cab men may
have to offer as to their reasons why
they should not come under the jurisdic-
ton Of the commission. said Col. Chester
Harding, Engineer Commissioner, and
chairman OF the utilities body. last
night.
ofhcials Of the taxicab companies
common carriers This will be the
first question to be determined by the
commission. II they are held to be com
mon carriers" Col. Harding concluded.
the utilities commission will make a
thorough investigation of their tariffs
and establish a schedule of charges fair
to the cabmen and to the public.
Hotel Rental blamed.
While Col. Harding refused 10 discuss
the probable attitude OF the commission
toward the practice of the hotels in
charging favored taxicab companies rem
tai for use OF the public streets around
their places, there are good grounds for
believing that the commission will look
with disfavor upon this unique feature
Of the business. That this practice Will
be closely investigated was made evil
dent by Commissioner Harding last night.
In New York the hotels levied this
same type OF tribute for many years.
Their revenues from the public thor
oughfares was estimated at the enor-
nous sum OF 5000 a year. They took
this money from the pockets of the cab
men, who. in turn. took its equivalent
from the general public. on the same
plea that Is offered here in Washington
-"hotel guests must be protected from
irresponsible cabmen." That this worthy
end might be achieved. il was no more
than proper to ask the public to produce
the money for this protection"
Property Rights Disputed.
The process by which the Washington
tel arrangements is intricate, involved.
and subtileiy convincing on first explana-
ton. II is more than likely, however,
that this first explanation will not suf-
fee the curiosity of the utilities body.
Analysis shows that the hotels feel a
property right in the public streets which
they grace. Their Difference to an ab-
surd. contrary conviction current among
the general public is shown by the leger-
demain process by which they change a
bargain and sale OF street space into the
rental OF an exclusive cab service for
guests.
Rates in New York, where the thor
oughfares in most cases are harder on
tires than the streets and avenues in
Washington, are 30 cents for the first
mile and 20 cents for each succeeding
mile. Some Of the city officials. who in
vestigated the cab rates there, were of
the opinion that these rates should be
still lower.

According to Figures, One b Killed

According to figures compiled by tn,

Der of lives lost on railroads in the
United States In twenty-four years
ended in October, 1919. reached the ap-
palling total of lSs.os7.
In this same period. In addition to that
number being killed. there were l,3s5, sls
persons injured on the railroads of the
United States. This is an average OF
1858 persons killed and IS, injured each
year. or an annual total OF nearly 5000
persons killed and injured. This means
that for every day during the past
twenty-four years 1s1 persons have been

or one every seven minutes.
The statement containing these figures
was prepared by the Safety. Appliance
Division for Commissioner McChord. who
has charge OF wreck Investigations and
who on Wednesday next VIII begin a
hearing at Bridgeport, Conn. into the
causes leading TO the Stamford wreck.
The statement says, in part:
Upon the analysis Of the above totals
one cannot fail to be impressed by the
surprisingly large number OF trespassers
they include. No figures pertaining to
trespassers appear in the commissions
statistics previous to 1890 and as no re-
turns Of accidents to other persons were
received by the commission for the year
1910, owing to a change in the law re-
curing reports of accidents, we have a
complete record of accidents to trespass-
ers for only the twenty-year period, 1890
to 1909. inclusive. This record is suffi-
GENTLY startling.
Tresspassers Killed.
There were 1911 persons killed and
l,l9o.l25 injured during this twenty-year
period. OF the number killed l0l, SO. or
more than 81 per cent of the total, are
classified as other persons that is, they
were neither Passengers nor employees and
OF these 10l.62s other persons S6.733. or
more than IS per cent. were killed while
trespassing. The trespassers killed dur
ing this twenty-year period were more
than 50 per cent of the whole number OF
persons killed on railroads.
"Of the 1.1So.1e5 persons injured during
this period. 1900, or more than IL per
cent. were other persons and Of this
number s4.6i6, or more than es per cent.
jured constitute less than per cent Of
the whole number OF persons injured"
According to the statement collisions
and derailments alone were responsible
for 4.163 deaths, s3,0o2 injured and a prop
erty loss of $500 .5,30S during the ive-year
period, 1907 to 1911, inclusive. Under the
law all accidents must be reported 10 the
