STRICT TAXI CURBS
URGED BY C. OF C.

mends Measures for
Greater Control.

Recommendation that more stringent
rules governing taxicah operation in
the District be made was voted by the
Transportation Committee OF the Wash
angton Chamber of Commerce, at q
meeting yesterday in the Hamilton
Hotel.
The committee advocated that 'cr,iis-
ing" taxis be restricted on major busi-
ness streets: that a method OF fare pro-
portionate TO service rendered be
adopted; enactment of compulsory in
demnity insurance law; periodic tests Of
both drivers and machines to insure
efficiency of drivers and proper condi-
tion OF cabs: equipment OF all taxicabs
with non-Shatterable glass to reduce
accident hazards, and that the Public
Utilities Commission be authorized to
issue at its discretion certificates OF
convenience and necessity covering
tAxicab operation.
The committee further recommended
that Congress increase the powers of
the commission If its present authority
is insufficient to control the taxicab
situation in Washington
The recommendations were made by
the whole committee following the
reading Of a report by a special sub
committee headed by Allen V. DeFord
which had held a series OF conferences
with affected transportation groups
and secured data from Boston. New

Addressing the Palaver Club at its
monthly dinner at 1886 New Hampshire
avenue last night, William Atherton
Du Puy. executive assistant 70 Secre-
tary Wilbur Of the Interior, declared
this generation in the United States
has fathered more constructive policies
of government, policies that increased
the usefulness OF government 70 the
people. than any other generation that
has gone before"
1T has been responsible for vaSter
undertakings Of government and their
execution than any other" said the
speaker. 1T has fought more moral is
sues to q successful termination. II
has done all this in spite OF the charge
that the citizen is Indifferent TO the
exercise OF franchise, that he elects
only mediocre men 10 ONCE, that poll
tics is controlled by special interests,
that public service is filled with time
serving incompetents."
Such accomplishments. Mr Du Puy
said, we're "the answer to critics OF
democratic government in the TWEEN
tieth century"

CLUE In BAKER CASE
PROVES WORTHLESS
Detective Questions Colored Man in
Lancaster, Pa, After Receipt
Of Letter.

Information contained in an anony-
nous letter from Lancaster, Pa, reIa-
tive to the Mary Baker murder mystery
proved worthless, according to a report
John @. Dalglish, member of the homi-
eide squad, submitted to Inspector
Frank S. w. Burke, chief Of detectives,
upon his return from the Pennsylvania
town last night.
Dalgltsh saw Elvin Trotman, colored
rs, who was referred to by the writer
OF the letter. He is a native of Nor
folk, Va, and left there more than two
years ago and went to PENNSYLVANIA
He was employed in Reading until
April OF last year when he went to
Lancaster and found employment In a
cigar store.
A colored woman, believed by the
Lancaster police to have written the
letter, was questioned by Dalglish and
Lancaster police, but she denied writ
ing the letter. Other poison pen" let
tiers have been sent to residents of Lam
caster the past few months, it Is re-
ported, but the woman questioned de-
MED having written any of them.

GRANT IS OPPOSED
TO PART-TIME WORK
Clifford Proposal Would Not
Function in His Depart
ment, He Declares.

Lieut. Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director
of Public Buildings and Parks, does not
see his way clear, he said today, TO put
into effect the suggestion of Walter 5.
Clifford, chairman of President Hoover S
Committee on Unemployment Refer,
that Government employees be put on
a part time basis as means or pro-
viding employment for more persons.
Col. Grant said he was entirely VIII
ing to cooperate with the relief plan,
but that he did not think it feasible
fer the particular conditions existing In
his department.
The Winter employees Of his ONCE are
trained men, he declared, and work
with little or no supervision. To take
ON unframed men, he pointed OUT
would make it necessary to train tneEn
and to provide foremen and supervisors
AS a second argument against put
ting his regular employees on part
time basis, Col Grant called attention
to their low salaries and said 1t would
be unfair to cut their pay, even under
present conditions.
The once Of Public Buildings and
Public Parks gradually is laying on It's
force Of per diem employees hired Tor the
seasonal work Of Fall, but this, Col.
Grant declared, is the usual procedure
followed every year
In the Spring extra seasonal employees
again will be hired. These men VIII
be on a per diem basis, but Col. Grant
said he does not see, at this time, now
he can give them only part-time work,
since it would necesSitate the training
Of two groups.

RED CROSS DRIVE
WILL OPEN NOV. Il
Employees of II 900 Business
Concerns Here Will Be
Enrolled.

Employees of nearly $1,000 corpora
tons and business concerns in the Dis
trict of Columbia will be enrolled In
the annual roll call of the American
Red Cross through organizations set up
within the establishments in which they
work
The establishments will receive enroll
ment blanks and complete information
for roll call workers, along with men,
bership buttons, receipt cards and all
other necessary supplies. In each firm
an executive, or an employee acting for
an executive, will be requested to secure
contributions of subscribers within the
firm.
viii Open November IL.
The number OF corporations and bust
ness houses which will be asked to
enroll their complete personnel is some
what larger than last year, 1t was said
today by David A. Skinner, secretary
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, and chairman of the
Business Committee of the roll call, in
charge of the personnel enrolment.
The roll call itself will open on
Armistice day and continue to Thanks
giving, November 20.
Low Cost Of Collection.
Mr.. Skinner pointed out the method
which has been set up for enrolling
the entire personnel of business houses
is the most economical that could have
been devised Through It, he said, the
business house contributes in two ways
in financial support, which is well
within the means Of every employee,
and In the actual organization work as
well. This means, he added, that the
cost of collection to the Red Cross is
kept at absolute minimum, so that all
funds collected may be used only for
the relief of suffering and distress.
No radical changes in methods of
solicitation are anticipated for the pres
ent year, it was pointed out. mini
mum quota of $4,000 memberships is
sought by the Business Committee.

New Chief Fears Invasion
of Crooks for 1882
Celebration.

Brig. Gen. Pelham D. Glassford, re-
tired Army officer, who turned down a
lob as vice president OF one of New
York's large banks to become chief Of
police here, thinks the Washington
police are going to have their hands
full handling crooks he believes will
come to the city for the Bicentennial
celebration.
He has already given considerable
thought to this matter and he will be-
gin making active preparations to han
die the situation as soon as he assumes
active command of the police force.
Gen. Glassford is not planning shake
ups or drastic changes when he goes
into Office. BY way of illustrating his
unfamiliarity with the local police sit
uation, he pointed out that he does not
know what the district system is nor
how many precincts there are in the
city. He believes he should go into
his new job without any preconceived
notions of how things should be run,
and thinks he will have enough to do
at the outset handling the immediate
affairs of his own Office.
When the question of the banking job
first came up, Gen. GlaSsford went to
New York to see the president of the
institution.
Mr.. President" he said, ct can't
imagine why you are Offering me this
job. I don't know the first thing about
banking"
IF you did" the president replied,
you couldn't have the job"
He thinks, perhaps, he may have
been selected as chief Of police on the
same theory.
Gen. GlaSsford, who takes office No
vember 10, visited police headquarters
today for the second time since his ap-
pointment and conferred with Inspec-
tor Ernest Brown, acting superintend-
ent.

BURGLARS FEAR TROUBLE TRYING
TO ROB COLORED ELKS-FIND IT
Treasurer Secrets 81, 900 in Home Attacks Men When
They Climb Into Window.

Two colored burglars, having removed
their overcoats, evidently expected to
find trouble when they tried to rob the
treasurer of the Morning Star Lodge OF
Colored Elks of $1,000 early today.
Sure enough, they found 1t. Henry
Washington. the treasurer, saw to that.
It was 3 am, or Whereabouts, when
the Morning Star Lodge voted adjourn
ment, rather late, it occurred to Wash
ington, to be abroad with the lodges
benefit fund.
And the treasurer, who also Is an I'M
dertaker. decided on caution. Instead
OF driving up to his front door, at 467
N street, he parked nearby, entered by
a side approach and secreted the 81 600
in his parlor.
Then Washington, returning to his
car, drove to a nearby garage. left the
automobile and walked boldly back
home.
Still suspicious, he noticed a pair Of

he continued. IT didn't want to leave
Turkey. I think Washington is very
pretty" added the little diplomat.
Omer picked up two Of the long
matches, and Stimulating a violin and
bow commenced humming a song.
The utter lack of self-consciousnes
on the part of the two little Turkish
boys loudly arguing one minute as to
which had broken the ping pong set. and
then turning courteously toward their
visitor to answer a question was de-
light to see.
I'VE both like to swim" said Orhan,
and row lot when I'm home, on the
Bosporus. But it's really very dan
gerous" he explained, "as there's a
very strong tide, and many people are
drowned yearly"
Yes, like to ride, too, but haven't
ridden much since we left Afghanistan,
where I used to have my pony"
Mile. Gourguenoff, who brought the
boys and their little 4-year-old sister
Aysel from Turkey to join their par
ents already in the United States, smiled
at her small charges as they conversed
rapidly, one in English, the other in
French. Frequently they appealed to
her in their native tongue.
"Orhan speaks German, french,
Russian and Turkish" she explained.
He learned his languages in school"
Little Omer, who speaks English so
fluently, has not yet gone to school,
and learned to speak his language from
the governeSS.
II am sorry you cannot meet Aysel, !"
she added But she has been Ill, and
we are keeping her quiet SO that We can
leave soon for our new home in Toxic.
Little Aysel is a typical little girl who
loves her dolls, and her tea sets, and
bosses her brothers"
With the wish that they might see
a real foot ball game before they leave
the United States, the two boys bowed
low over the hand of their visitor and
wished her a courteous goodbye.
