The force at the disposal of General ToWnshend, he said, was considerably larger than a division and was believed by compe- tent authorities to be sufficient for the task assigned to it.
 It was also a misapprehension to say that this was a rash military ad- venture, continued Lord Crewe, as it was clear to everybody that the early capture of Bagdad, if it could be eff

Worlds Amendment to

The first court proceedings under
Worlds taxicab ordinance. placing
the Yellow Taxicab Company and
other so-called private cab concerns
under the same restrictions as those
which are avowedly soliciting bust
ness on the street. were before Magis-
trate McQuade in West Side Court
yesterday.
Michael Finnerty. driver Of the
Hoffman Taxicab Company. was sum-.
moned to court after he had charged
81 for taking Inspector Gaffney OF the
License Bureau to the Ast6r Hotel.
q distance for which n much smaller
amount Is fare under the Taxi
cab Law. Finnery said he was
working only on telephone calls. but
pleaded guilty to driving without a
hackman's license or a taxicab IL
censc. He was fined $40 on each
charge.
A Yellow Taxicab driver who was
summoned on exactly similar charges
after he had delivereh a passenger at
tho Globe Theatre was defended by
Lawyer Wing. counsel for the COM
pany. Mr.. Wing asked for an ad-
journment for at least forty-eight
hours. saying that his clients desired
to get an injunction proceeding under
way against the new amendment.
Magistrate McQuade said that he
was forced by the regular court prac-
tice to grant a delay OF twenty-four
hours. but would go no further. He
had no sympathy, he said. for the
methods of the Yellow Taxicab Com
pany in seeking to avoid It's obliga-
tions to the public. 1t had been sug-
ested to him. he said. that II these
companies could not maintain their
existence without charging more than
the legal rate. 1t would be entirely
proper for them to remove the taxi
meters from their cabs and do a
strictly livery business. making a nat
rate with each customer when their
private cabs were engaged.
