The premier thinks liberty is not

SANTIAGO, March 2S.-The politi-

"eXpounding secretary" who Will
handle topic Of the asenda, dealing
with plans for d closer association
with the American nations, and topic
l6. which considers questions arising
from possible aggression by a nom
American nation.
This delay is taken as an indica-
tion of the delicacy with which the
congress is approaching the subject
matter of these two topics. The COM

hold the discussion In allegiance for
the time being. although it has been
expected that the Uruguayan dele

In view of the delay in the prepa ra-

among the delegates that they may

WOULD AMEND LAW.

An amendment TO the police raEu.a-
tions to permit owners Of public We
hicles to park their machines in front
Of buildings IN which they maintain
an office has been urged upon the
Commissioners by the Yellow Cab
Company in a letter to Commissioner
oyster.
The cab company was prompted 10
make the recommendation because en-
forcemcnt OF the regulation in its
present form has forced the company
to abandon number of stations from
which It dispatched cabs promptly
upon call.
Asks Rewritten Rule.
The regulation in its present form
reads as follows:
"A driver Of public vehicle for hire
shall not stop or loiter upon the
street, except at a public hack stand
or while actually taking on or dis
charging a passenger
The cab company has asked that
the regulation be rewritten to read as
follows: "A driver of q public vehicle
for hire shall not stop or loiter upon
the street. except at q public hack
stand or adjacent to premises where
the owner or operator of such vehi-
Gle maintains an office or other faci!-
tiles for the transaction of his own
business. or while actually taking on
or discharging a passenger"
Cuts Ont Dead Mileage.
Officials of the cab company believe
they have rendered a service OF con-
venience to the public by maintain
ing small Offices with telephone con-
nections in various parts of the city
in order to dispatch cabs more ex-
peditiously when they are called.
They further point out that these
substations make cheap taxi service
possible by increasing the volume OF
business and cutting out the dead
mileuge" that would occur if all cabs
had to go to the four corners of the
city from central garage
In his letter to Commissioners Oys-
ter. G.. Thomas Dunlop. president of
the cab company, stated the wording
of the proposed regulation is merely
a statement of the common law ap-
plicable to the situation as laid down
by the District Court of Appeals in
the Willard Hotel case.
Applicable to Any Business.
while that case applied the law
specifically to hotel company"
wrote Mr.. Dunlop. "thc decision is ap-
plicable to any business. including the
business of cab company. The
court in that case said:
1.-The hotel company has the right
to station and maintain It's own Car
riages on the street in front OF tts
own promises for the transaction OF
Its own business without
violation of any existing law or mu-
nicipal ordinance
IAN we are asking is that we be
permitted as the court says, to main
tain our own cabs on the street III
front of our own premises for the
transaction of our own business"

1t there that is their fault"
One of the men affected tried to
substitute the address of Il police sta
tion for his residence address; others
hurried to the post Office and rented
boxes, but when the pay rolls were
made up the commissioner checked
them with the old pay rolls and
changed the new addresses back to
the old ones.
One man called on Mr. Murphy and
told him he had received an increase
In salary year ago and had not told
his wife of the happy event.
"I ask. commissioner. how in the
world can I explain this thing to her
when she sees that check?" he
pleaded.
One city employees wife called the
commissioner by telephone and an
nounced that she had heard the good
news" and was sending him a box

ing to prove adequate to meet the
needs Of the community IN June,
when. according TO reliable estimates,
there will be at least 10000 visitors
in Washington for the Shrine conven-
tion?
This question is being seriously
considered By officials OF the District
water department, w:io. -or a number
OF years. have been reminding Con-
gress of the fact that the city is rap

Mr. Garland pointed out, however,
that the extent 20 which the reser-
voirs Will be taxed will depend large
ly upon weather conditions during
the convention, which IS to be held
in the early part of June.
Il is estimated al the District
building that 100000 gallons is
about the safe maximum daily capac-
ity of~the present system. Records
Of the water department show that
during the first week OF June last year
the daily consumption Of water
ranged from 62. 900. 900 to $4,000. 900.

Mr.. Garland pointed out that per-
sons always used water freely on hot
days and IL the period Of the conven-
ton should find the mercury ascend
ing to summer heat. the water pumps
are bound to be taxed heavily to meet
the demands.
II Is likely that the city authorities
between now and the convention Will
give serious thought to ways OF con-
Serving water during the convention

the District not to use this necessity

May Let Lawns Go.
Even without a large throng OF
strangers, the water department, for
4 number of years past has waged
a fight against the wasting of water
during the. summer months. and with
100000 strangers in town. this cam
pafgn will have to be carried on with
even more vigor this year.
1t may even be considered wise BY
the authorities to call upon property
owners to let their lawns go Un-
watered during the week In which
the largest proportion OF the conven-
tion crowd will be in the city. The
water department MAJ be able to find
other non-essential sources or water
consumption that might be curtailed
during the convention.

President Distressed.


Mr.. Daugherty is a sick man and
the relationship between him and the
President Is so close that even IL
Mr.. Harding were to feel that the is
suance of the statement pras a mis-
take he would he the las: nan in tie
world to let that fact get publicity.
The President is said to have been
distressed by the impression of dis
agreement between him and Mr..
Daueherty, which some published re-
ports gave, and It would not be sur
prising If in some way without COM
menting on the Miami statement about
his Candidacy he gave pubic evidence
of hs continued confidence III the At
torney General.
The Presidents viewpoint on the
wisdom of the statement about his
candidacy has not been Intentionally
disclosed. 1t is true that few callers
outside of the presidential party have
talked politics with him, and at least
one is said to have commented on the
impression the Daugherty announce
ment had created. Mr.. Harding. of
course. realizes that any statement
concerning his candidacy, no matter
how carefully phrased. would be the
subject of differing opinions, for no
two stratesists are apt to agree on the
question of whether the announcement
was or was not inopportunc.
Faith in Daugherty.
1t is safe to say that had the
President been consulted in advance.
he probably would have argued
against it. But he has SO long been
accustomed to leaning on the advice
of Harry Daugherty, and the political
strategy of the latter has SO often
proved in the end to have been wise
that the President isn't likely to
argue the merits of the question, now
that the die has been cast
Politics have In fact crept into the
presidential vacation little more
than anybody intended. Even the
Attorney General himself did not look
for prolonged discussion and had he
had any idea of the stir the Miami
statement would have. he might have
withheld 1t for a time at least. Mr..
Daugherty thought the announcement
would be taken as his own personal
prediction for he warned the news
paper men he wasn't talking for the
President.
Leaders Pledge Aid.
But the press. far and wide, has
taken ii up and the wheels of the
pre-convention campaign appear to be
moving. Judging by the letters and
kilograms from republican leaders Of
fering to begin work at once.
Something may have to be done to
