Washington Is not much concerned
about the cost of taxicab riding.
judging from the fact that not a sin

Terminal Taxicab Company for a con-

why the existing rates should not be

In the cost of tires and Is per cent
In the cost of lubricating oil
The rates which the company asks
be continued are 80 cents for one per-
son for the first half a mile and 10
cents for each additional quarter of n
mile. For second or third passenger
there is an additional charge of 20
cents. with no charge for q fourth or
fifth passenger.
The only new increase asked for Is
an advance from 20 to 60 cents In the
charge for carrying trunks. This IL

the damage done to windshields by

Chairman Kutz suggested that It
would be fairer for the commission to

LACKS us. BIRTH PROOF:
YOUNG TENOR BARRED
Francis O'Brien Forced to Return
to Ireland-May Not Be Able
to Show He Is American.

NEW YORK, June 10. - Francis
O'Brien, young STRIPPING famous on
Ellis Island as stowaway and as a
tenor of promise. who is on the high
seas today on his return voyage to Ire
land, is living proof that a birth GER
tificate may sometimes prove an essen
tial document in the pursuit of a career
as singer.
Were it not for his lack Of such
document as proof of his contention that
he was born in Philadelphia and that
his parents took aim to Ireland when he
vas four years old. young OBrien might
now be Winning the hearts of American
music lovers. as did John Mccormack,
the emulation of whose career led the
lad to secrete himself on an American
bound vessel ehree weeks ago.
Instead, immigration officials. who
have only cold legal instructions to
guide them in making decisions, saw fit
to place him on an outgoing ship and
let him try to establish the essential
facts concerning his birth after his re-
turn. O'Brien, however, despaired of
being able to prove much about his
origin, because his father and mother
are both dead and he has no relatives in
Ireland.
The young tenor's fame as singer
probably would never have started to
spread had it not been for slight Ill
him to be placed in the hospital for
treatment. The nurses there became en-
chanted with his singing, and before he
was deportcd he was giving concerts for
the other inmates of the hos pital as well
as for the inha bitants of the island gen.
orally AS a result OBrien's name to-
day is on the lips of all Ellis Island.
