PHILADELPHIA GETS
TRANSIT RECEIVERS
Court Charges SWindIe of City
and Ends Mitten Groups
Operative Capacity.
BY the Associated Press.

PHILADELPHIA, April 11-After 10
months of court proceedings, Judge
Harry S. McDevitt, in Common Pleas
Court. today named three receivers for
the Philadelphia Rapid Transit Co.
Mismanagement, and not insolvency,
was given by the court as the reason
for the receivership.
The company owns or operates under
lease all the street car lines in Phila-
delphia and many bus routes in and
outside of the city.
The action was taken on suits filed
by the city of Philadelphia, which is a
partner in the company and by win
B. Hadley, city controller. They
sought to have the transit company
give a full financial accounting to the
city, to GUST Mitten Management, Inc,
which manages the transit company,
and to return to the city certain profits
that went to the company for the man
agement of the Broad street subway.
The receivers are instructed to cancel
the present arrangements between the
transit company and Mitten Manage
ment, and to undo numerous transac-
lions carried out by Mitten Manage
ment in the operation of the transit
company property.
The courts opinion refers to the
whole network of Mitten Management,
Inc. and its subsidiary and taxicab
companies as financial vlltures" and
a Colossal conspiracy against the tax
payer" The transit company is accused
Of breaking its operating agreement with
the city of Philadelphia, which agree
ment, the court declared, made possible

70 require taxicabs to carry meters. On
the basis Of this opinion the commits
sion proposes to map out definite
program Tor regulating taxi operations.
The rate Of fare Which Should be
charged on a neter basis has not yet
been considered. The commission.
however, feels that the rate should be
low, and it considers reasonable the
existing rate in New York, where the
initial charge is Is cents and 5 cents
for each one-fourth of mile.
At present there are four different
rates of fare in Washington. Two are
IN effect on metered cab service and
independent operators have two rates.
One OF the metereo companies charges
cents third Of mile and makss no
initial charge. Two other metered com
panies make an initial charge of IS
cents. The rate then is 5 cents for each
one-fourth Of mile.
One group Of independents operating
on fat-rate basis charges IS cents
within the city proper" so called. An
other group charges IS cents in the
same zone.
This lack Of uniformity in rates is an
outgroWth Of a series Of rate wars which
followed the advent into the taxi field
about year ago Of the 35-cent fat
rate service Of several independent
companies.
In its effort TO fix a uniform taxi
rate the commission will be confronted
with two fundamental conditions One
Is that large group Of the taxi oper-
ators favor the meter charge because
the rider pays for the mileage actually
covered. The other is that the public
favors the zone system. This has besn
shown conclusively by the increasing
popularity OF the fat rate service.
The commission also intends to give
established companies that are now
forced by existing conditions TO accept
only the cheap business. The small
taxi operator, 1t was pointed out, has
no ONCE. no telephone and no fixed
stand. His business consists Of fares
picked up on the street.
Calls and Overhead.
The established companies, on the
other hand, 1t was said, get their busi-
ness chiefly over the telephone, which
are usually calls requiring the driver to
cover a long distance to pick up his
fare. These calls are the type which
run UP the taxi owners overhead, parti-
cllarly when he fails 70 get many pick
ups on the street 70 compensate for the
long runs.
Another question the commission in
tends to 90 into is whether the taxi
owners and drivers are making money.

at the commission throw some light on
this subject, but do not give a COM
plete picture of the conditions because

BY the Associated Press.
NEW DELHI, India, April 11.-When
Lord wilmington assumes his duties as
viceroy to India week hence ne will
find the country vastly more complex
and infinitely more difficult to deal
with than the Dominion of Canada.
Instead of having to handle 10000
600 people with only two principal Ian
guages. the new governor general will
have 100000, 900 speaking 222 vernacu-
lars, all crowded in space about half
the size of Canada.
Lord Wellington will face a country
not only clamoring for the right TO
shape her Cwn destiny but one beset
with acute racial and religious cleav-
ages and a1imosities, with Hindus OUT
numbering Moslems by three to one.
Hindus Worship Cows.
To be sure every viceroy has had this
Moslem- Hindu communal problem to
struggle with. Observers in India say
it will always exist as long as the Hindu
worships the COW and the Moslem eats
it, for it is the so-called dissertation of
this animal that causes most race
riots.
Lord wilmington, however, will find
racial strife sharply heightened and the
country in a state of nervous apprehen-
sion in consequence Of the recent open-
ing of civil war in Benares, Agra, Mir.
zapur and Cawnpore. In the last named
city about 500 persons were killed.
All efforts Of Mahatma Gandhi and
other leaders to establish unity between
these two great racial groups, conSti-
tuting more than 300 900, 900 of midas
population, have failed as did all en-
beavers at the first round table confer
ence in London.
S65, 1000, 900 Budget Deficit.
Other serious problems facing the
new viceroy are India's unprecedented
budget deficit of s65, 900 coo. the Indian
boycott of British goods, disastrous
decline in trade, the warlike attitude of
Afridi tribes along the northwest from
tier, rebellion in Burma, bombing of
trains and recurring assassinations of
British officials.
Meanwhile, India is disturbed with
new picketing by Nationalist of liquor
shops and stores selling foreign cloth,
condition which neutrals say is bound
to result in open clashes sooner or
later.
Although truce exists between
Gandhi and retiring Viceroy Irwin, the
government must always be on the alert
against bombing outrages, political
murders, the wrecking of trains and
other terroristic acts by those who re-
fuse to adhere to Gandhi's creed of
non-violence as a means Of winning in
dependence.

CANADA FAVORABLE
TOPOWER PROJECT
Railways Minister Thinks Do

Note on River Plan.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Indications that Canada would act
favorably shortly toward making the
st. Lawrence waterway project a reality
were given Secretary Stimson yester-
day by r. j. Manion, Canadian min
ister of railways and canals.
During conference at the State
Department the minister told the Sec
rotary he believed the Washington Gov
eminent could expect soon a favorable
reply from Canada to the American
note of last September asking the at
titude of the government of Premier
r. B. Bennett toward the project.
Hanford MacNider, American Minis
ter to Canada, who few here Friday
With Manion on a private visit; Hume
Wrong, Canadian charge d'affaires, and
j. Theodore Mariner, chief of the
Western European division of the State
Department, attended the conference.
The Canadian cabinet member told
Mr.. Stimson he could not speak for
mally on behalf of the Canadian gov
eminent of the prime minister.
He recalled to the Secretary, how
ever, that Mr.. Bennett since his first
speech in the campaign which elected
him had advocated the waterway. He
added he knew of nothing since then
to change the attitude of the premier.
The conference was the first on the
proposed waterway to take place in
Washington since the recent visit of
Mr.. Bennett to the Capital. At that
time it was understood the premier dis
cussed the question informally with
President Hoover after a dinner at the
White House.
Minister Manion lunched at the
Canadian Legation and called on Sir
Ronald Lindsay, the British AmbaSsa-
dor, before leaving by train for Ottawa.

agencies made money last year, and
plenty of it, one company alone re-
porting return Of 63 per cent on its
investment, after deducting deprecia-
ton on its cars at the rate of one-haf
cent Per mile run per cab, or about S22
a month per cab. This comany has
119 cabs on the street, has ordered Is
more, and is planning to put in an order
for an additional Is.
Cabs owned by this agency are rented
to a driver for $3.50 a day, which al
lows lis miles, plus cents per mile
for each additional mile the vehicle is
higher, being $40 for 115 miles The
mileage rate in excess Of lis miles is
the same as the day rate.
The returns OF this company do not
show the earnings Of the drivers who
rent the cabs, and they are accountable
TO no one. The owners, however, in
sist all of the drivers are earning in
excess Of SIS day.
The long established taxi companies,
operating on a meter basis. all lost
money last year, according to records
at the commission, but returns for the
first three months this year indicate
that the tide has turned for the better.
The loss of the largest metered cab
company in 1880 amounted to Sl0.605.
Another large metered cab company
lost S925I in the 12-month period. A
third metered cab company has lost
consistently since 1t began operation.
One large group Of Independent
operators, who own their own cabs. and
drive them, in most instances, the re-
cords show, is making money, but not
enough TO boast about These ownerE
drivers have filed individual returns
with the commission. showing net in
comes ranging between $50 and SPIT
month. The average income, how
ever, approximates 500 a month. In
several exceptional cases, the incomes
averaged $50 a month.
The returns of the individual drivers,
however, are not taken seriously at the
commission as a guide to the actual
earnings. Truthful as the drivers might
be. 1t was said, some of them inadvert-
entity forget little purchases they might
make out of a days income One driver
reported he bought a ham out of his
