DRASTIC TAXI
RULE To AID
Est, JAM
Barring of Cabs From Busy
Streets Will Aid Traffic
Conditions, Believe Heads

A drastic regulation barring
taxicabs from operating on F and
G Streets between Ninth and Fiji
teenth, except for the purpose of
taking on or discharging passen-
gers, today was approved by the
District Commissioners.
Asked by Brown
The regulation, which was rec
commended by Inspector E. w.
Brown, of the Traffic Bureau,
with the approval Of Director of
Traffic w. H. Harland, will pre-
vent cabs from operating on the
streets between 8 a. m. and H
midnight, on secular days of the
week, land between the hours of
2 p. m. and II midnight on Sun
days.
The new rule, which will be-
come effective in 10 days, places
the burden of proof upon the
operator of the taxicab to show
that he had previously ascer-
tanned the need of his vehicle on
the street. Taxi drivers will be
required to enter and leave the
streets at the nearest intersection
to the point where he is to pick
up or discharge passengers.
In the recommendation sent to
the Commissioners, Traffic Di-
rector Harland says that the
adoption of the regulation will
greatly improve traffic conditions
on F and G Streets. Under the
regulation, taxi drivers hereafter
will be preventing from cruising
on the streets to pick up persons
leaving the F Street theaters.
The action b ythe Commits
sioners today ends determined
fight which was waged by In
shpector Brown for nearly two
years to bar cabs from the two
streets.
The Commissioners also drew
up a regulation barring U turns
on F and G Streets between Ninth
and Fifteenth Streets Northwest.

VIRTUALLY
SURE.FOR
SESSION
Jockeyed Into Pocket by Foes
Who Bring Up War Appro-
priation for Consideration

The Senate this afternoon
displaced the Howell bill from
its status as unfinished bust
ness, sending the controversial
local prohibition measure back
to the calendar. The action is
believed virtually to kill the
bill so far as this. Congress is
concerned.
The prohibition bill gave way
to the War Department apprO-
priatiOn bill on motion Of
Senator David A. Reed (R.) Of
Pennsylvania. Displacement Of
the Howell bill was bitterly
fought, those in charge of the
measure cOnceding that to dis
place it now means its virtual
death.
A determined effort, which
seemed to have good chance for
success to displace the Howell pro-
hibition bill as the unfinished
business of the Senate, was under
way this afternoon.
If successful, the move will
mean the virtual death of the bill
so far as this session is con.
cerned.
Opponents of the bill seem to
have jockeyed Senator Robert B.
Howell (R.) of Nebraska and his
bone-dry measure into a parlia-
mentary pocket from which they
could emerge only by sacrificing
the War Department appropria-
tion bill.
Blain Has Objection
Senator John j. Blame (R) Of
wisconsin objected when unani-
nous consent was asked to take
up the War Department bill and
lay aside temporarily the Howell
bill It then became necessary
to displace the Howell bill on a

the salon" was not her own, and
that she was merely in the EN-,

No appeal is to be filed by
Belle, who will serve her time in
