u. S. AGAIN PROBES
WOMAN'S BUREAU

Another investigation of the woman's
bureau of the Police Department has
been undertaken by the Federal Bureau
of Efficiency, it was learned today at
the District Building.
The bureau recently completed Its
first investigation of this agency, and,
in a report to the Commissioners,
recommended that jurisdiction over
children under II years Of age de-
tanned police at the House OF De-
tention be transferred from the
woman's bureau to the board of pub
lie welfare. While the Commissioners
accepted this recommendation in
theory, they decided to let Congress
make the actual change.
The Investigators, it was said. spent
more than three hours at the bureau
and asked substantially the same ques-
tions as propounded on their initial
visit. The purpose Of the renewed
inquiry, therefore, Is puZzling police
and District officials.
One of the investigators was Joseph
w. Sanford. who recently resigned as
chief probation officer of the Juvenile
Court to ioin the bureaus stan.

Regulations requiring indemnity
were passed by a former public utiii-
ties commission and made the subject
of test in the courts-Bell VS.. Harlan.
Harlan claimed that he was not a
public hacker, but that he chartered
his automobile by the hour under spe-
cial license from the District of Co.
lumbia. The Court of Appeals sus-
tained this contention. Its opinion
was based upon the latter past of the
decision in Terminal TaXicab Co. VS..
Commissioners, that the business was
substantially livery business
as distinguished from that of
a common carrier and for that
reason the regulations did not ap-
ply to Harlan. The Court of Appeals
very carefully refrained from holding
that the regulations did not apply to
common carriers-i. e.. public cabs.
And / am of the further opinion
that what the Supreme Cnnrt of the
United States said in the Terminal
Taxicab case with reference to the
control OF public utilities by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission applies with
equal strength to the individual opera
tor of public hack for hire"

A perceptible move already is or
foot on Capitol Hill to bring a naval
building program forcibly before the
approaching session of Congress.
While as yet plans of Big Navy"
men remain in a somewhat nebulous
state. there is a positive current Of
thought among a number of members
that failure of the Geneva conference
to reach an agreement on limiting
warcraft tonnage not affected by the
Washington arms treaty calls for
serious considera ton Of the advisable
ity of providing funds for additional
fighting craft.
AS the United States leads all other
nations in destroyer tonnage, discus
sion so far has centered largely upon
the need for additional American
cruisers. a type of warship in which
Great Britain greatly surpasses this
country.
REPRESENTATIVE Britten of Illinois,
ranking Republican on the House
naval committee. already has de-
clared that he will introduce a bill
proposing construction over a five.
year period of 80 cruisers of 10000
tons each and two airplane carriers
of the type of the Lexington and
Saratoga, which will be completed
within the next few months. Britten,
one of the leaders in the successful
fight last Winter to have Congress
appropriate funds for three new
cruisers over budget recommendations
approved by President Coolidge. holds
that at least 80 new cruisers will be
needed to balance the American battle
fleet.
Although the Navy Department
officially has said nothing as to
whether 1t will make any recommenda-
tions this Winter for additional war
craft, there is reason to believe that
