There probably win be no
change in his status, however,

do not desire to prejudice him or

A different situation prevails in
the Senate, where there has been
agitation for stronger control
Of local real estate concerns Tor
many months.
Demand Insistent
LEGISLATION OF this type Is now
being drafted by the committee
under the direction Of Senator
Blaine of wisconsin. Senator
Brookhart has been powerful
factor in exposing the operations
of the F. H. Smith Company and
in emphasizing the need of blue
sky legislation for the city.
1t is believed that as the result
of revelations in the F.. n. Smith
Company's affairs there win be
an insistent demand in Congress
for Stricter regulations Of realty
and stock-Selling concerns In the
District and there is q prospect
that such legislation viii be
framed and passed in the next
five months.
The Blaine subcommittee Of
the Senate District COMMITTEES
has been at work for several
months on such a measure, which
probably will be ready soon for
consideration. No hearings have
yet been held, but q corps Of
experts has been quietly at work
investigating conditions in the
city and drafting the required
legislation.
Nothing has yet been done IN
the same direction in the House,
and as long as Representative
Zihlma11 remains head Of the
House District Committee 1t is
not probable the matter viii be
pressed.
Should q bill be sent to the
House after having passed the
Senate, however, q different situa-
ton would be brought about.

NEW RULE TO be
IN FORCE BY
JAN. |

Officials Of every taxicab conn
pany in the city, as well as in
dependent operators. have irdN
Gated that they will appear be
fore the Public Utilities Commits
sion when it takes UP the que1
ton Of insuring financial responk
sibility Of cab operators, Monday
A tentative regulation for
stricter supervision Of taxicabs
has been drafted. The hearineI
is to give operators a chance toI
state their views.
Among the provisions Of the
tentative draft is one that al
cabs must have gasoline tanks
placed outside the body Of thu
car, Of the forced feed type. This
is held to increase safety.
Objections Expected
Objections to this section 81
the act are expected. The Ford
Motor Company, which manufac-
lures an inexpensive and widely
sold taxicab, will be represented
at the hearing by its local sales
manager.
It is believed the Ford rep
resentative will contend that the
gravity feed tank is satisfactory,
as is evidenced by the operation
of millions of new Ford cars Of
both commercial and passenger
type.
No serious contest is antici-
pated by the commission regard
ing the other provisions regulat-
ing mechanical condition of cabs.
1t is estimated that at least 500
dilapidated machines, unable to
meet the higher standards, will
be forced out Of service.
Financial Liability
The provisions enforcing finan-
cial liability have been supported
by civic and trade bodies and also
have the approval of the National
Association of Taxicab Operators.
Officials of the Black and White.
Yellow, and Diamond Cab COM
panieS have indicated that they
favor such responS 1oility.
It is expected the regulation.
with such amendments as MAJ
result from the hearing, win Cd
into effect January I. The most
immediate result will be = redu$
ton in the number Of taxicabs Oh

Hack Inspector Joseph D. HaA
rington expects that. with til
knowledge that they face r.

taxicab drivers will exercise tnucl
greater care In driving.

by Admiral Willard.

Old Tecumseh, at whose shrine mid

studies, Is to be made immortal for
countless generations of midshipmen to
come.

United States Naval Academy at An
napolis, a battered chunk Of wood, Is
at the Washington Navy Yard now,
being made ready for casting into
bronze. In about SIX weeks. new
Tecumseh will adorn the pedestal az
Annapolis.
The Tecumseh which has been the
patron of passing marks at the Naval
Academy was taken from the boWsprit
of the u. S. s. Delaware, one OF the
earliest vessels of the American Navy.
Academy officials do not remember
lust how old Tecumseh became ASSOCIATE
ed in passing grades for the middies
but, admit that every graduate OF the
Naval Academy, during the past half
century has, at one time or another
during their schooling on the banks
of the Severn, prayed for passing
grade before the bust of the Indian
who befriended the first settlers of
America. The bust Is known to every
officer in the Navy.
The movement to preserve Tecumseh
for future generations of naval officers
was started by Admiral A. l.. Willard
of the Washington Navy Yard, and
members of the class of 1891, who held
their reunion last year at Annapolis.
