SCHULDT |NDORSES
MOTOR|ST SCHOOL
Police Court Magistrate Be-
Iieves Classes Would Make
Highways Safer.

Establishment of a school for Wash
ington's motorists appeared a step
toward reality today when Judge Gus
A. Schuldt, presiding Police Court mag
istrate, gave his Endorsement to the
idea
The school, originally proposed by
Inspector E. w. Brown OF the Traffic
Bureau, would instruct the driver in
the common sense rules of the road as
we'll as acquaint him with the contents
of the traffic code.
Judge Schuldt said he thought 1t
would make driving much more safe
and decrease the number of automobile
accidents not only by showing what
should be done in certain emergencies
that might arise in driving but by CIV
ing the motoring public more clear
realization of the dangers of reckless
driving.
The move is apparently a good ore. -
the Judge said 1T should result in
better cooperation between the motor
lists and police. Many of the minor Of
lenses are precipitated by thoughtless-
ness and I believe this school would go
a long dway toward curbing these and
as consequence decrease the number
Of accidents"

OF motor vehicles, Mr.. Van DuZer said
only about 1000 applications for title
have been received at his Office. There
are approximately $4,000 registered
vehicles in the District, he pointed out,
which means that title certificates will
have to be issued at the rate Of about
1000 day to complete the titling Of all
cars by January /.
The 1892 tags, Mr.. Van Duzer ex-
planned, will not be issued to any au-
tomobile owner whose car has not been
properly titled. Consequently, those who
delay filing title applications, he said.
may not receive their title certificates
before January /, and will be unable to
procure tags.
Applications Available. =
The Title Bureau, according to Mr..
Van DuZer. Is equipped to title about
1000 vehicles a day Applications for
title may be procured at any police
station, the American Automobile As
ISOLATION, the National Motorists As
ISOLATION. the Board of Trade, Washing
ton Chamber of Commerce and Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association.

DRASTIC SLASH|NG

| TAX|CAB RATE WAR
Pr0tex-U Officials Hope for
Showdown in New
Reductions.
CITY PROPER FARE CUT
FROM 35 TO 20 CENTS
Charges for Second and Third Zones
Also Reduced in Attempt to
Force Regulation.

Another taxicab rate war appeared
inevitable today as a result Of an an
noIuncement by the Protex-U Cab Co.
that 1t would put into effect a 20-cent
rate for the so-called city proper, be-
ginning tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock.
Lowest in District.
The new rate will be the lowest In
the District for taxicab Transportation,
and cents under the city-proper fare
charged by a number of independent
operators. For the second zone the Pro-
teX-U cabs will charge 40 cents. The
fare to the third zone which covers the
outlying and suburban sections will be
70 cents. Sixty and .85 cents were the
zones, respectively
Several weeks ago, Charles H. Lettow.
a member Of the board Of directors of
the Protex-U Cab Co., announced a
lower rate was under consideration, and
indications were then that independent
operators would follow the lead. Dia-
mond drivers are still operating at the
35 cent city-proper rate, and Lettow
declared if they reduce their rates TO
20 cents, the cabs of his company
would put 10-cent city-proper rate
into effect.
Little Profit Left.
Mr.. Lettow admitted drivers of his
company were making little or no profit
under the present IS cent city-proper
rate, and the reduction to 20 cents was
ordered primarily to bring about
showdown with the street car COM
panies.
He thinks if the taxicabs continue
to make inroads on the business of the
car lines. the Public Utilities Com
mission will eventually be forced to
establish a uniform minimum rate for
cab service. and the sporadic taxicab
rate war will end
The Protex-U Cab Cos. is composed
of independent union drivers, and was
formed last Fall after the independent
Taxi Owners Association, which ope-
rates the Diamond cabs, announced it
would abandon its policy, of hiring
union men only.
