Pho o by International

The first blow in the threatened
taxicab war, started as the re-
suit of the Diamond Taxicab
Company's refusal to negotiate
with the drivers union, was
struck today by non-union drivers,
when two of them are alleged to
have attacked G. E. Bowley, at
Fifteenth and M Streets North
west.
Representatives of the union
Yesterday served notice on Harry
C. Davis, president of the 1nde-
pendent Taxi Owners Association
that unless the company and the
union could get together, strike
and walkout would be called.
Will Meet Tomorrow
Today the threatened strike
has been suspended pending a
meeting of company and union
officials tomorrow morning in
the office of the commissioner
on Cancellation of the Depart
ment of Labor.
Union drivers of the Diamond
Company were directed to leave
the wheels of their cabs at 8
O'Clock tonight unless the com.
pany agreed to negotiate with
the organization. This, however,
will not become effective until
after the conference at the Labor
Department.
Bowley Beaten Badly
Although all members of the
Diamond Cab Company were
pledged against any form OF
violence, the first outbreak came
today when Bowley was attacked
as he was about to accept a pas
senger in front of the Colonial
Hotel.
He told police of the Third pre-
cinct that two drivers attacked
him as he sat in the front seat
of his cab and did not give him
any opportunity to protect him
self. He was beaten so badly that
he had to go to Emergency Hos
pital for treatment.
The men who made the attack
are said to be ncn-uniOn drivers,
and voiced a threat against any
union men who might try to go
ON the stand.

Politicians Sadly Mystitied
at Situation; White House
and Senator Keep Silence
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES

Political Washington lifted it's
eyebrows considerably today when
it became known that President
Hoover, on the eve of his depar-
ture on vacation cruise, had in.
vited Senator William E. Borah OF
Idaho to luncheon at the White
House.
Ordinarily a Presidents invitD
ing a Senator to lunch exciteS
little comment. But for President
Hoover to invite Senator BOrah
as the solitary guest at White
House function constituted, in the
eyes of politicians, little less than
a sensation.
On Outs for Months
Senator Borah and Mr.. Hoover
have been on the outs for many
months and the 1dahoan has not
been near the White House. The
split between them has been one
of the choicest bits of political
gossip about the Capital
From being one of Mr.. Hoover'S
strongest supporters and warmest
friends in 1928, Senator Borah
has steadily drawn further and
further away from the President
until today he could probably be
called the severest critic of the
Administration within the Repub.
lican party. Senator George w.
Norris of Nebraska alone ex'
cepted.
Their GOODNESS had it's inception
in the special session of the Sev-
enty-first Congress, which Senator
Borah prevailed upon President
Hoover to call.
Disappointed in Tariff

confined to the agricultural
schedule and he wanted what
he described as "real farm re-
lief" Instead, there was gen.
eral revision of the tariff, with

PASADENA, Calf, February 90
New proofs of DIR. Albert Einstein's
prediction that the rays of starlight
bend in passing near the sun were

at Mount Wilson Laboratory. DR..
Charles E. st. John, astronomer of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington,
announced the receipt of findings by
=. F. Freundlich, astronomer Of the
PotSdam Observatory in Berlin.
The communication revealed results
of measurements of photCgrG phs taken
by Freundlich during the lest solar
eclipse. The measurements are OF a
star nearer to the sun than any other
ever photographed in an eclipse. This
star was only nine light minutes, or
shout 100,o00000 miles from the sun,
in one of the recesses of the corona.
Process Declared Most Accurate.
Every long and careful measure
ments and readings of the eclipse plates
result in satisfactory light reflections
with Einsteins theory of relatively"
Freundlich reported. He said the
process of measurement was the most
accurate ever made.
"Our method of deriving the scale Of
photographs was the finest ever used.
During eclipse we treated all plates with
reseau, or elaborated scale, which was
photographed on the plate together with
the images taken during eclipse. Thus
the positions of the stars were revealed
with very great success and all that was
necessary to measure was the Einstein
effect
Zone star, nine minutes from the
suns limb, gave a value for DETECTION
of lib seconds The probable value
predicted was 1.20 seconds"
DR.. st. John told Einstein this was
the most convincing evidence of star

Of the sun ever disclosed.
