TAX|FARE ORDER
UPHELD BY COURT
Utilities Commission De-
clared to Have Authority to
Set Present Rates.

Chief Justice Alfred A. Wheat of
District Supreme Court today upheld
the Public Utilities Commissions
order Of last July establishing the cur
rent 50-70-cent taxicab rate
here.
His ruling was the first legal vim
dication of the authority given the
commission by the last Congress to
establish uniform zones and rates. The
commissions order was issued last
Summer at the conclusion of lengthy
rate hearings. Previously, a taxicab
drivers strike on the eve of the
Shriners' convention had thrown the
citys transportation facilities into
confusion.
Declared to Have Jurisdiction.
II think that the Public Utilities
Commission had jurisdiction, and that
the order attacked in the bill was a
valid exercise Of that jurisdiction. +"
Chief Justice Wheat declared in dis
missing the injunction suit brought
by Bernard L. Henning, president of
the Cab Drivers Protective Union.
Carey E. Quinn. attorney for Hen
ming. Immediately served notice he
would appeal.
In arguing the case, Quinn had at
tackled the order as unreasonable and
unlawful, contending the rider to the
District appropriation bill in which
Congress purported to give the Public
Utilities Commission authority over
rates did not have the effect of law.
It also was argued that the current
rates we're not based on adequate data
Position Of Commission.
Congress always has legislated on
Utilities Commission matters by ap-
preparation bill riders, was the reply
of Assistant Corporation Counsel
Hinman D. Folsom, who represented
the commission. He recited pertinent
facts brought out in the rate hearing
and said IS per cent of the Districts
3,700 cab drivers favored the existing
rate.
During trial Of the case, both at
torneys admitted that If Chief Justice
Wheat ruled in favor of Henning, the
taxicab business in the District would
be stripped of all rate and zone reg
ulation for the time being at least.

Initial political comment on the
new Canadian-American trade treaty
strengthened belief today that it might
be a major issue in the 1886 CAM
paign.
Most legislators were hesitant to
express opinions pending further
study of the long list of mutual tariff
reductions.
While Senator Wagner, Democrat,
of New York termed it step in the
right direction" and Senator O'Ma-
honey, Democrat. of Wyoming said
it would benefit the Rocky Mountain
area especially. two Republican Rep
resentatives-Church of Illinois and
Brewster of Maine-opened fire upon
some of the pacts provisions.
Reaction of American business, la
Dor and farming interests was studied
closely.
Fear Paralyzing.
officials of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association told news
men here the pact's provision for q
so per cent reduction in duties on
Canadian lumber would "paralyze the
general economy of important parti
Of this country"
While lumbermen on the Pacific
Coast joined in this attack, shingls
manufacturers there considered they
had won victory in limitation oi
Canadian shingle imports to Is pei
cent of American consumption.
Set against the criticism voiced In
various quarters was the prediction
made yesterday by President Roosevelt
that the treaty would double tradg
between the two countries in yeai
or two. ~.
In Canada. the agreement evoked
favorable comment by leaders in the
lumber. cattle. adistilling and fishing
industries.

POWERS ARE REASSURED.
Japanese Spokesman Holds Interests
Not Jeopardized.

Japanese Spokesman Holds Interests
Not Jeopardized.
SHANGHAI, November 18 (P).-A
spokesman for the japanese Embassy
said today that foreign powers need
have no fear that their interests and
privileges in North China are leopard
ized by the present developments in
that area.
He said that while the embassy was
not yet officially informed of the au-
tonomy movement, he understood that
North China would. give nominal al
legiance to Marking and would con-
tinue paying its full share of China S
foreign obligations under the proposed
program, despite financial and eco
nonic separation.
The spokesman conceded that the
changes probably would be followed
by more intensive japanese COM
mercial activity. but that discrimina-
ton against other nationalities was
most improbable.
Monetary Program Blamed.
He said he believed that the North
China autonomy movement undoubt-
edly was precipitated by the monetary
program of the national Chinese gov
ernment at Nanking.
The embassy spokesman announced
that Ambassador Akira AriyoShi
would leave soon for Marking to con-
fer with Chinese national leaders
in an effort to determine once for
all whether the Chinese Government
intends to make a serious attempt
to suppress anti-Japanese activity
throughout the country or to permit
Sino-Japanese relations to grow worse.
The ambassador will draw the
government officials attention to the
recent evidence of resurgence of anti
Japanese activity and point out the
gravity of the continuance of present
conditions.

TOXIC. November 18.-Japanese
dispatches from Peiping and Tientsin
unanimously and unreservedly an
nounced tonight that a new nation,
that of North China, will be born
this week.
These dispatches, by the Rengo
Agency, among others, state that the
new nation, like Manchukuo, will be
created under the protection Of ia
pans mighty military machine. which
the Chinese national government at
Marking is powerless to oppose.
1t seemed likely that five more prov
inces of China would follow the fate
of the four Manchurian provinces
which at present form Japan's pro-
tectorate, the empire of Manchukuo.
Difference on Date.
Rengo and the newspaper Asahi
confidently predicted that the dec
laration of independence would come
November 20. while the newspaper
Nishi Nishi says it will come Novem-
ber 90. 1t was stated that the new
nation will be made up of Hopeh,
Shantung. Shansi, Chahar and Sui
yuan Provinces.
The population of these five prov
inces totals approximately 95000,000
persons.
If and when this population be-
comes a japanese protected COM
munity, like Manchukuos 32,000,000
inhabitants, it will mean that Japan
has been instrumental in wrestling
from Chinese sovereignty an aggre-
cation of humanity nearly equal to the
population of the United States.
The japanese dispatches said the
new state would be called Huapeh
Liensheng Tzuchih Chenchuan, which
can be translated as "the North
China United Provinces autonomous
regime
Gen. Sung Leader.
The leaders of the regime, it was
said, will be Gen. Sung Cheh-yuan,
commander of the Peiping- -Tientsin
garrison, and Gov. Han Fu-chu of
Shantung Province. Their chief as
sociates are expected to be Gen. Shang
Chen, Governor of Hopeh Province;
Hsiao Cheng-ying, Governor Of Cha
har; Gen. Hsu Yung-chang, Gen. Flu
Tso-yi, head of the Suiyuang provin-
cial government. and the mayors of
Peiping and Tientsin.
The japanese communications, with
a unanimity of detail indicating a
common and well informed source,
recount the alleged iniquities of the
Marking government and the Kuo-
mintang-the Chinese Nationalist
party-then assert that the declara-
tion of independence will declare four
principles:
l. The complete autonomy of North
China.
2. The severance of all financial and
economic ties with the Nanking gov
ernment.
3. The cooperation of the japanese
Army in the prevention of the spread
OF Communism.
4. The promotion of cordial rela-
tions among North China, Japan and
Manchukuo.
A foreign Office spokesman conceded
today a possibility of japanese mill

nese government sent troops to sup
