Three Are Injured After
Speeding Cars Meet
Near Waterloo.

Two men were killed and three others
injured early today near Waterloo. Md,
when two automobiles collided head-on
while racing along the Baltimore high

so miles an hour.
The dead: Frank Swope, 80, Of Hol-

Washington, deep cuts on the head
arms and legs.
swope, Juliano and Burgess were in
the same car.
Claims Auto Taken by Men.
State policemen of the Laurel sub
station who investigated the crash said
they had located q colored man who
said he had been robbed Of an auto
mobile and 20 cases Of liquor by Swope's
companions earlier In the night. Police
were told by an eyewitness that the
trio, riding in a small coupe, was at
tempting to force another machine into
a ditch when their car collided with
the third machine.
A loaded pistol was found on Swope.
Revolvers also were said to have been
possessed by his two companions. An
investigation was launched to determine
whether the men had been driving
stolen car.
The dead and injured were strewn
along the highway for distance OF
more than 20 yards when State Police.

by Lloyd Kaiser, a Laurel undertaken.
Oficials announced an inquest would
be conducted at Savage, Md, later in

CABS CHANGE TAGS
IN FIGHT FOR SPACE
Present License Plates of I'm
metered Cars Forbids
Parking Stands.

Further difficulties in Washington's
complex taxicab situation as result
of the rate war were anticipated to-
day by Police Inspector e. w. Brown,
in charge of the Traffic Bureau, when
one of the hat-rate 35-cent companies
replaced IL" for III lettered tags on
so cabs, apparently for the purpose OF
occupying designated hack stands.
Cabs carrying 81" or livery tags are
not permitted under existing regula-
tions to occupy hack stands reserved
exclusively for metered public vehicles,
but are required to operate from
central garage. With the fiat-rate cabs
making a move to share these stands
with the vehicles still operating on a
meter rate, Inspector Brown foresees
another clash In the rate war.
AS the 35-cent cabs do not carry
meters, Inspector Brown is doubtful
whether they can, under the present
regulations park at the designated hack
stands even though they use the III"
or hackers tag. A recent order Of the
Public Utilities Commission, he pointed
out, requires public vehicles not operat-
ing on an hourly rate to be equipped
with meters irrespective Of whether
they charge a fiat rate rs the 35-cent
companies are doing. r

Ambassador Dawes will return
to the United States shortly for
conferences with President Hoover
on the London naval agreement.
The White House said today that
while it was not definitely de-
cided when the Ambassador would
come, his trip was not in the ma
ture of leave" but for the specific
purpose of comforting with the
President about the pact.
No official statement was avail

The highest officials of the depart
meat emphatically denied that Gen,
Dawes had been requested to return.

Meanwhile, before two Senate COM

Rear Admiral Mark L. Bristol, chair

ment of Justice agents that he
killed Mary Baker, murdered
Navy Department clerk, has been
