Eileen MOVES
FOR NEW LAW
ON LIABILITY
Fixing of Responsibility of
Owners and Drivers of Cabs
Urged by Justice Hitz

Complete control over the local
taxicab industry by the Public
Utilities Commission was urged by
Corporation Counsel E. Barrett
Prettyman today as the most eff.
fective means Of fixing the liza
bility Of taxieab drivers in con.
nection with accidents.
Mr.. Prettyman was asked by
Public Utilities Commissioner
Riley Elgen to draft laws covering
both compulsory liability insur-
ance and fixing of responsibility
Of taXicab drivers.
Hitz Ask Action
Action on the two control meas
ures was called for by District
Court of Appeals Associate Justice
William Hitz in a dissenting
opinion on a case in which q taxi
cab seriously manned a fireman.
The court held that the opera
tor of the taxicab, son of the
owner Of the vehicle, had not
been authorized to drive the taxi
cab and that for this reason the
taxicab company in which the
vehicle was registered could not
be held liable for the accident.
Justice Hitz stated that legal
means should be sought to fix
the responsibility of owner and
agent in connection with taxicab
operation.
Pending Bill Inadequate
Mr.. Prettyman pointed out that
there is now pending before Con.
gresS a measure calling for COM
pulsory insurance for the taxicab
industry, but that responsibility
in accidents could be fixed only
through rigid control by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission,
It was pointed out that control
over the taXicab industry by the
commission is curbed by Congress
each year through stipulations in
the appropriation bill on how the
commission can use its allot-
ments.

BURNING DUMPS
START ROW IN
ARLINGTON
Three Candidates Battle Over
Failure to End Illegal prac-
tice of Operators

ARLINGTON COURTHOUSE
Va, May 14.-The attack on Law
renee Douglas, Commonwealth
attorney of Arlington county, fol
his failure to put an end to the
burning dumps in Arlington
county, will be renewed here to
night when the three candidates
for that office are brought to
gether for the second time.
Mr.. Douglas was criticized Sc
verely last Friday by both Emery
HoSmer and John Paul Jones fol
not enforcing the law which pro
hibits the operation Of burning
dumps. Mr.. Douglas, however
had addressed the political rally
first and excused himself, so he
was not present to defend himself
against the attacks hurled by the
two men seeking his office.
Reply Due Tonight
The issue win be brought up
again tonight and it is expected
that Mr.. Douglas will explain his
side of the case.
Tonight's rally is being spon'
sored by the Carne Precinct Cit
liens Association and will be held
in st. Mary's Episcopal Church
on Glebe Road.
Mr.. Douglas refused to make
any statement concerning the at
tack on him by the other two can.
didates. Mr.. Hosner, who dwelt
very severely on the issue last
week, said he would ask Mr.. Doug
las tonight to explain just why he
had not put an end to these "un'
desirable and obnoxious" dumps
since the county's constitutional
right to ban them had been favor
ably ruled upon by the Virginia
Supreme Court last June.
Operators Warned
County Manager Roy S. Braden
said he notified the dump opera
tors long ago that the practice
was unlawful, but that he had not
been able to stop them, since no
attempt was made to enforce the
law. The county manager, also as
serted that these dumps were con
tinuously operating without a per
NIT from the county.
DR.. P. M. Chichester, county
health officer, said that several
years ago he issued one permit but
had withdrawn that one since the
county board assumed this author
ity. The burning dumps are in
directly menace to public health,
DR.. Chichester declared, in that
they create an accumulation OF
rats and "ratS are a health men
ace to any community"
Operation of the dumps was
banned last year by the county
board after numerous petitions
protesting them. The legality of
the county boards right to ban
them was carried to the States
highest tribunal by an operator
who was fined in the county court
for violating the ordinance. The
higher court upheld the county
courts in it's decision last June, &C.
cording to Mr.. Hosmer'S state
ment.

The Works Boards denied yes

tion Of a sewer in Beechwood-av,
from Rawles-av to Webster-av, and
in We5ster-av from Beechwood-av
to Lit.le's Line. An investigation
foIc-xng the receipt Of the petition
in august. 1888, revealed that the
improvement could not be made
since bonds to cover its cost could
not be sold.
The board also decided 70 rescind

Reilly and the other members of defense counsel. For Charley, "the mayor of East Mountain. whose announcement that he was going to the trial as a witness was scoff- ed at only a few days ago proved an extremely valuable witness.
 He had his difficulties on the stand, number of them. but there is no doubt whatever that he was of great aid to Hauptmann's case. Blunt, direct. Charley impressed the jury with his simple answers and his matter of wact dissertation on woods in general and the wood in the kidnap ladder.
