HACKERS AND TAXI

day. issued a ruling that there is nc
ference between a public hacl1o
and the taxicab compa nies. all stand
ing on the same footing.
This oral opinion is to be follow ed
by a written decision by Judge Hardi
son passing upon the traffic cases tina,
have accumulated for some time. in
which il was contendeh by public
hackers that the special privileges
enjoyed by ta&!Cab companies in and
ton. under Arrangements or contracts
with the hotels and the Washington
Terminal Company. Were unlawful and
contrary 10 the Constitution.
Victory for u. L.
The decision is 4 distinct victory for
the District of Coiumb bia. Judge
IartiiSon held that neither a public
vehicle. us such. nor Il taxicah of the
laNicab companies had a right TO oc-
Cupy space in and around a hotel or

the public streets In any way inter
fered with the public traffic.

near their places of business. and
right for such purposes that are not
possessed by the public or indiEii-

Decision as to Parking Cars.
1t was further pointed out in the
opinion that the Washington Termi-
nal Company is not possessed OF the
right to authorize amy taNlcab COM
pany to park its ears i'll the arch

would materially interfere with pub

This decision in passing upon the

possess the right to authorize such

ment in Germany the effects upon the
relations between Germany and the
allies and the carrying out of the
terms of the treaty of Versailles can
hardly be estimated. With mill
.tarist regime in control in GERMANY
taere seems little doubt that the out
side pressure for the strict execu-
tion of the stipulations of the peace
pact would be markedly increased
particularly from such nations as
France and Belgium. with their ter
ritory contiguous to that of the
former empire. 1t has been generally
conceded. however. that the military
requirements Of the treaty, which
has been already put into effect. have
rendered Germany militarily impotent
for long time to come. at least so
far as any aggression on her part
might be concerned This, however
is perhaps not true of the French
army leaders. among whom Marshal
Foch in particular has peen insistent
in pressing for greater military pro-
lection against Germany for France
than was provided for by the peace
pact signed last June.
