CLEAR STATION
PLAZA OF TAxlS
Cruising in Front Of En-
trance Must Stop. Com
missioners Rule.

Cruising by taxis and other
motor cars in front Of the Union
Station will cease as a result of ac-
tfon taken by the Commissioners
yesterday.
In reply to q request from the
Washington Terminal Company the
Commissioners gave permission to
the company to erect a suitable bar
rier at the east end of the thorough
fare running directly in front OF
the station This will prevent au-
tomobiles from driving past the
main central entrance facing the
plaza. leaving clear the street space
between the loading platforms of
the Capital Traction and Washing
ton Railway and Electric lines, and
facilitating the quick loading of
cars.
The practice of Cruising" or
driving slowly in order to pick up
prospective passengers. was long in
force with hack drivers and taxicab
men.
The narrow space at this point In
front OF the station does not allow the
passage Of more than one machine at
a time. with the result that traffic is
obstructed almost entirely, while ped
estrians are endangered.
q With the placing OF barriers by the
Terminal Company machines desiring
to load with or discharge passengers
at the Union Station must do SO at
the west wing Of the building. in the
open court adjacent to the City Post
ofice building. or at the east end on
the opposite side. There Is ample room
at these places to handle all the traf-
&c frequenting the station, and little
inconvenience will be caused by the
change.

RAILROAD DIRECTOR
ASKS CASES REOPENED
Requests Interstate Commerce Com
mission to Reconsider Findings.

Director General Hines yesterday
asked the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to reopen the Michigan
percentage cases" decided two
years ago and fixing the bases of
rate relationship between Eastern
trunk line territory and Central
freight association territory.
The commission held at that time
that the rates existing were not un-
reasonable in themselves but were
so constructed as to give undue
preference to certain Indiana and
Ohio cities.
Since that time. EIkhart. Goshen,
Mishawaka and Napanee. Ind. have
attacked these rates as discrimina-
tory to them. Hines now seeks to
reopen the case because he declares
the only way to readjust the dis
parity is to reconstruct the bases of
rate relationship.

they had received a supply of food
and provender. There were twelve
horses attached to the battalion. six
drivers. eight cooks two shoemakers.
In addition to these sixteen men, there
were two military instructors accom-
panying us. The men were always
segregated from the girls.
After dinner the deserters began to
assemble around our barracks. I had
promised to debate with them on the
preceding day. and they now took me
at my word.

MAKES MISTAKE
Puts Foot on Accelerator In
stead of Brake and Kills
Horse at Biglerville

Biglerville, Pa. June 36.-In q
! collision between an automobile and
a horse and buggy. the horse was
killed and the occupants OF the
buggy injured, while none of the
occupants of the automobile was
harmed in any way. The automo-
bile was driven by Miss Myrna

her father, Emory Shelly, and Mrs
Edward Rafrensperger, of Arendts-
Vile, and Mrs L. Minnigh. OF
Gettysburg. had driven from Ar
endtsville and just turned the cor
ner here on the street to take them
to Gettysburg when, in attempting
to pass another automobile. she just
grazed the machine. When this
happened Miss Sheely reached for
the brakes with her foot to bring
the machine to a stop, but instead
put her foot on the accelerator and
Increased the speed of the car. Ac-
cording to the statement of John
Powell, who was driving the horse,
he was on the right side of the
road, and when the speed of the
car was increased the automobile
plowed right into his team and
dragged it about a hundred feet be-
fore being stopped. The horse was
killed outright, and it is thought
Mrs. Powell's right leg is broken.
Mr.. Powell is also slightly injured.
