7 AXI LIABILITY
BILL SEEMS
HOPELESS
Measure to Give Commission
Power to Regulate Response
biIity of Carriers Fought

Prospects for the Public Utili-
ties Commission to obtain power
to regulate taxicabs were dark
today following a hearing on the
proposed bill yesterday by the
Senate District Committee.
The new bill would give the
commission power to require
utilities to establish their capacity
and responsibility. But in the
bill are also half a dozen other
amendments to the public utilities
act which are being bitterly
fought by the street railway COM
panies, the bus companies, and
the gas company.
Bill Is Hopeless
The result seemed to be today
that no part of the bill can pass
at the present session. There was
no opposition expressed at yester-
days hearing to the section deal
ing with taxicabs. but representa-
tives of other utilities vigorously
opposed sections of the bill cover
ing them.
The commission believes that
under the taxicab section it could
require taxicab operators to fur
nish proof of their ability to meet
financial demands to which they
might be subject through acci-
dents or other causes.
Taxi Measure Lost
It decided to push this meas
ure instead of the taxicab liabil-
ity bill pending in the House be-
cause it seemed less controversial
Now, however. the taxi provision
seems to be lost through contro-
versy which has arisen over other
provisions of the same measure.

ANNAPOLIS ROW
AIMED At LEE

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 81.
The State Senate will be the
scene of a bitter fight today, ac-
cording to indications of dissatis-
faction among senators at last
nights announcement of COM
mittees. 1t is charged that
Major E. Brooke Lee, of Mont
gomery county, dictated the ap-
pointment of several members of
the finance committee.
More Members Urged
Senator Dudley G. Roe, of
Queen Annes county, is expected
to offer a resolution today in
creasing the membership of the
finance committee from II to 13
members, in order to make room
for his colleagues.
Friends of Senator N. H. Fook.
Of Caroline county. point to MS
long record in both senate and
house as qualification for mem
bership on the committee. Wal,
ter j. Mitchell, of Charles county,
they declare, won the presidency
of the senate by his long term of
service, while Lansdale C. SasScer.
of Prince Georges, was chosen to
head the finance committee for
the same reason.
Proposal Is Opposed
Senator j. A. Coad, of st. Marys
county, it was pointed out, was
taken from the finance committee
and named to head the CheSa-
peake Bay and tributaries group,
q place distaSteful to any repre-
sentative of the Tidewater dis
tricts. If created, it is generally
believed, the new places on the
finance committee will go to
Senators Fook and Goad.
The four new members of the
finance committee are Senators

YES, A GOOD &c
CIGAR AT LAST
It Knocks Out All Previous
Ideas You Ever Had

Men, forget the many times you've
lit a five-center, taken a few puffs
and thrown it away. Try one more
bSand: Havana Ribbon. You sure
viii hold on to this one!
Havana Ribbon is five-cent cigar
IN one respect only: Price. By every
other standard of comparison, it be-
longs to considerably higher-priced
ass. And the reason is-It's ripe
tobacco! Many five-cent cigars con-
tain the poorer leaves of the tobacco
p@ant-under-ripe top leaves (usu.
ally bitter) or over-ripe bottom
leaves casually flat-tasting). Ha-
eaM0 Ribbon contains only choice
fully-ripe middle leaves. Imagine
getting, for five cents, all the FRA
grant, mellow mild, fine favored
goodness, Of tobacco at its best!
You can prove it in two minutes.
Just plank down one jitney at the
ngxt cigar counter and ask for
Havana Ribbon. Also sold in Proc
tfeal Pocket Packages Of five cigars.
