Predictions arc there will be a

sents the height OF the attempts OF
the various refor msocieties, headed
by DR.. Wilbur L. Crafts, to restrict
personal liberty. The bill will be in
troduccd next week, and IL forbids all
citizens abroad and members OF the
American diplomatic or consular
service to serve liquors at public or
official functions. or to recognize
clubs where such beverages are dis
posed of. The bill would require the
provision.

American abroad from taking n drink
If he can get one, IL would greatly
increase his difficulties and cmbar-
easements in that respect 1t would
forbid drinks on the table of Ameri-
can diplomats or consular officials,
and even forbid an ordinary Ameri-
can citizen serving drink at public
function. The measure also proposes

CITY CLUB ATTACKS
BOOTLEG HACKERS
Would Drive Out White SIavers
AIso-Eno Denounces D. c.
Traffic Conditions.

A program for eliminating boot
leggers and white slavers from the
public hacking business in Washing
ton was adopted by the Public Safety
Group of the City Club at meeting
last night at the clubhouse. The
program was embodied in a resolu-
tion presented by the police protec-
ton committee, Of which Claude w.
owen is chairman.
The resolution recommends that ap-
plcants for hacking licenses be re-
quired to pass an examination demon
strating their ability as chauffcurs,
furnish evidence of their experience
as public hackers, and give proof Of
their moral character: that licenses
be automatically revoked upon the
arrest or indictment of a hacker for
a felony and remain revoked until
the person is proved innocent: tnat
all public vehicles be placed under
the Jurisdiction of the Public Utilities
Commission: that all owners of pub
lie vehicles be required to file bond
to guarantee the faithful performance
of their duties to the public: that
owners of such conveyances be re-
quircd to desposit insurance policies
with the TNblic Utilities Commission
to protect the public and passengers
against personal or property damages,
and that all such vehicles be required
to measure their service by meters
at standardized rates.

Local No. 62j, of the Chauffeurs'
Union. who was a guest, said his or
Eanization heartily favored practical
ly the entire program.
William =. Emo, of this city, the
worlds greatest traffic expert, who
drafted the regulations for New York.
Paris, and London. and who addressed
the group on conditions here. de-
clarcd that Washington traffic regu-
lation is the worst in the world when
IL should be the best. He said the
death rate here is twice as high as
in New Eor.
ut Is time now for the citizens OF
the District to get up on their hind
legs and howl" said Emo. when my
friends arc being killed needlessly
from day to day. 1t is time to quit
being polite and to lay blanc where
IL belongs. We should insist upon
tho discontinuanco OF incompetent
management by those who have made
our city a by-word for the worst trait
nc regulation In the world"
