We Have Just Talked Out
With a Learned Friend

the question: "Are first thoughts or second
thoughts the better?"
The conclusion of successful doctor was
that in medical and surgical cases second
thoughts are as rule a necessity. But the
commercial man without hesitation affirmed that
he had found first thoughts the best in purely
business matters, and emphasized particularly
that in patriotic heroic undertakings for the
public good, aiding sick and suffering, if the first
thought is not promptly followed in at least half
of the instances, nothing is done.
A good thing is often an inspiration, and if
II is not Immediately acted upon it is lost

DEFINES TAX|CAB
"LO|TER|NG" LAW
Appellate Court Rules Ter
minal and Auto Livery Com
panies Are Exempt.

The lettering act OF July II, 1919.
does not apply to the cabs of the
Terminal Taxicab Company and the
Auto Livery Company. according to
decisions of the District Court of Ap.
peals, rendered today by Justice
Hitz. who sat in the place of Justice
Robb on the appellate bench. The
court held that the terminal COM
pany's cabs may stand upon the space
opposite the west entrance and under
the west covered porch Of Union sta
property of the Washington Terminal
Company, the taxicab company hav.
ing contract to use these spaces.
Justice Hitz. with Justice Van Ors-
del concurring, also held that the
Terminal Taxicab Company and the
Auto Livery Company may park cabs
in front of the Shoreham and Wash
ington hotels. respectively. under con-
tracts for exclusive use between these
companies and the management of the
hotels. Chief Justice Smyth dissented
from the opinions relating to the oc-
cupancy OF space in front of hotels.
Cases From Police Court.
The decisions were rendered in four
cases from the Police Courts. where
Richard Bell and James NJ. Parker
were adjudged guilty of lettering as
defined by the act of July II. 1919.
Reamy and Ra,ckey were arrested at
Union station. Bell was found in
front Of the Shoreham Hotel and
Parker near the Washington Hotel
The majority opinion holds that the
taxioabs Of the compa nies do not fall
within the purview Of section 12 Of
the act relating to public vehicles, -
beoaus as common carriers they
come under tho jurisdiction Of the
Public Utilities Commission, while
the lettering act gives power of regu-
lation to the District Commissioners
The lettering act gives the Commits
sioners power to revoke the licenses
Of drivers of offending cabs, and the
court points out that the drivers for
the taxicab companies are not re-
quired to have a license, so the intent
did not mean to include these COM
mon carriers.
The judgments Of the Police Court
are reversed, with directions to ac-
quit the cab drivers.
Justice Smyth Dissents.
In his dissenting opinion Chief
Justice Smyth expressed the view that
the lettering act was passed for the
protection OF the public in the use of
the public streets and the lettering
by taxicab Is as much a public
menace as such action on the part of
privately owned automobiles. The
wording of the act, he claimed, is
broad enough to comprehend cabs of
all descriptions. He claimed it was
not the driver who was licensed under
section ii, but the owner Of the auto
mobile.
