FERRY SAYS PROPOSED TAXI
LAW MEANS MONEY LOSS

Service Ferry, an ordinance will be
introduced to the council tonight
which will compel the taxi companies
to accept a reduction of 10 cents in
their rates for the first half mile. If
this ordinance passes they will lose
money, according to Ferry.
Ferry advocates two classes OF
service, one for the business man and
the other for the pleasure seeker.
The first would cost 80 cents for the
first half mile and the second would
cost so cents. Taxis would be dis
tinguished by a colOred star.
The department of public service,
by compiling one of the most
thorough taxi cab rates ever made,
proves that the companies would'not
lose money with this plan in opera
ton. Representatives of every COM
pany will oppose the ordinance to-
night because they will lose money
if it is accepted. Lobbyists for the
taxi companies prophesy its defeat.

ROME. March "a.

ROME, March "a.
Archduke Charles Francis, the Austrian
Grown Prince, has emphatically vetoed
the proposal to cede any port of Austrian
territory to Italy, according to dispatches
from Trent to the Idea Nazlonale. The
Crown Prince has just returned from the
eastern battle front. He declared that
the Austrian army would regard such a
surrender as more humiiating than q
defeat by Italian arms on the battlefield.
Government officials, while admitting
there was every reason for the country
to be on the alert, insisted today that
efforts to win over Francis Joseph have
by no means been exhausted. They
pointed out that thus far there have been
no direct negotiations between Italy and
Austria; only informal exchanges through
the German Ambassador, Prince Won
Buelow, have taken place.
Leaders of the Italian interventionist
party today announced plans for mon
ster pro-war demonstrations in Rome,
Genoa, Naples and other Italian cities
next sunday. Their aim is TO fan the
flame of public sentiment and force the
Cabinet to deliver an ultimatum to Aus

VIENNA. March q.

The heroic defense of Przemysi was
conducted by a garrison which never
numbered more than 5000 men, according
to Baron Samuel Hazal. Hungarys Minis
ter of National Defense, A dispatch re-
ceived from Budapest today quotes Baron
Hazat as follows:
"Russia's claims that more than 100 600
troops were captured at Przemysl are
without any foundation In fact AT no
time did the garrison number more than
25, 900 men. This number included trench
dfggers and other military lahorers.
"By their efforts, however. these gallant
soldiers held at bay a Russian army many
times their number and forced the enemy
to believe that the garrison was much
larger"
