route, 10 cents, and for dismissing a
cab without use after it had been
called by telephone, 20 cents.
The commission also set 81 as the
hourly rate for taxicabS when hired on
that basis. This is not to be used in
computing a charge for regular pas
senger trip between fixed points.
Commission officials said the two
new items of additional charges are
those for the additional 10 cents for
each piece of hand luggage over two
pieces and the additional 10 cents for
each passenger in excess of two.
The commission made the following
findings of fact after its ANALYSIS Of
testimony at the hearing and Statisti-
cal reports submitted by its own staff
as we'll as taxicab interests:
That patrons of taxicabs generally
approve the present four zone system
under the 20-30-5O -70-cent rates.
That large majority of the oper-
ators favor continuance of said zones
and zone rates.
THAT the gross earnings of drivers
are on the average approximately $6
for each 12-hour shift, that the oper-
ating expenses vary materially and
that on the average the net earnings
approximate $3.50 for a 12-hour shift
That there should be a charge of
10 cents for each piece of hand bag
gage in excess of two, and
That in view of the existing law
and the evidence contained in the
record, the zone boundaries and zone
rates hereinafter fixed are reasonable
and proper"
Fred A. Sager, commission chief en-
gineer, gave testimony at the hearings
that most of the complaints concern
ing taxicab operations involved over
charges. He said that many COM
plants arose from the fact that cab
patrons, in the habit of riding in cabs
operating under the 20-30-50-70 rates,
unwittingly boarded cabs operating on
higher rates. He presented figures to
show that 3,637 cabs were licensed as
of June 80, this year, to do business
on the 20-30-50-70 scale His figures
showed that at that time only 101 cabs
operated on the 20-40-60-80 scale, and
that but IL cabs were using the 35-
60-95-$1 80 scale. He showed also
there we're 18 cabs on one meter scale,
Is cabs on a different meter scale, two
cabs on third meter system, two cabs
on another meter system and one cab
with still different meter system.
To show the Uasis OF its authority
for the uniform rates and zone order,
the commission qucteo from the
rider" in the appropr;s ton act The
commission said: 1t is clear from
the above provision and from the his
tory of the taxicao legislation that
the intent of Congress was to pro-
hibit meter operation and to bring
about uniform zone boundaries and
zone rates. Prior TO the passage of
this provision, this commission was
without authority, tecause of legisla-
tive prohibition, to put into effect or
enforce its prior order for meter opera
ton, which was sustained by the Su-
preme Court of the District and
United States Courr OF Appeals for
the District, or 60 establish a Uniform
system of zones and rates"

action may not be necessary.

ing of Japan's Position.
By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, July 23.-The declaration
by Sir Bolton Eyres-Monsell, first lord
of the British admiralty, that England
was abandoning the principle of ma
val ratios received warm welcome
today in all japanese circles.
Official circles said Great Britain
was coming to an understanding of ia
pans position. and that with British
agreement the United States prob
ably would be unable to adhere to the
present ratio system.
Rengo (Japanese) News Agency
dispatches said naval circles were en-
thusiastic over the declaration. recall
ing the japanese governments pro-
poSal for abandonment of naval ratios
and establishment of common upper
limit.
CThe naval tonnage ratios of the
leading powers were set at five for
Great Britain and the United States
to three for Japan, under the Wash
ington treaty of 1922, supplemented
by the London treaty of 1930)
The naval circles were represented
as being Of the opinion that Sir Boil
tons declaration meant Britain'S par
tial consent to the Japanese proposal
but opposing his suggestion that the
nations communicate to one another
what their naval powers will be in
1912.
The newspapers Nichi Nichi and
Asahi said the navy was absolutely
against a declaration of naval
strength in 1912, fearing that it would
perpetuate the present ratio system
with nations having strong navies in
1912 continuing to be strong and ma
tions with weak navies staying in
that category.

Italian Enjoys Absence From Recep-
ton Resented.

Adds ABABA, July % P).-Re-
ports circulated this afternoon that
refusal by the Italian Minister to
attend Emperor Halle SelaSsie's birth
day anniversary reception today may
cause q rupture of diplomatic rela-
tions between italy and Ethiopia.
The Emperor was A years old today
and the event was celebrated with
royal splendor.
Luigi Orazio Conte Vinci-Gigliucci,
the Italian Minister, refused to at
tend the diplomatic reception and an
evening banquet because of the bitter
tone of the Emperor's recent address
to Parliament.
Sensation in Capital.
The absence of the Italian from the
official reception caused a sensation
in the capital and the Minister'S ac-
tion Immediately was regarded as an
Italian rebuff, which may cause an
immediate complication in the already
strained relations.
On the other hand, pro- American
demonstration featured the morning.
An immense multitude gathered out
side the palace and cheered wildly
when William Perry George, the
United States charge d'affaires, ar
rived for the reception.
AS George arrived, sudden flutter
of small American flags swirled
through the great crowd and the
Ethiopians shouted: Long live
America"
Offers Corps Good Wishes.
The reception was impressive, with
an air of cordiality. DR.. Francis
Janssens, the dean of the diplomatic
corps, spoke. offering good wishes to
the Emperor on his anniversary.
Halle Selassie, seated on his throne,
replied.

formed part of the colorful festivities

ROME, July 23.-Italian government
bonds fell sharply and common stocks
rose buoyantly today as the STOCK
Exchange reacted to a royal decree
permitting the Government to lower
the legal limit of gold coverage for
currency sight obligation, fixed at 40
per cent in 1927.
The Ira held firm on the domestic
market, losing only l centime.
Consolidated Bonds, which form the
majority of the public debt, fell of l
point to 66-which is to be compared
to the quotation of 86 when the 1talo-
Ethiopian dispute began. Treasury
bonds dropped an average of ] point
each. Industrial and other stocks
enjoyed rises ranging around to 6
points. Metal and war equipment
stocks were in particular demand.
Fiat Motors rose 6 points.
Formally on Gold.
Banking circles agreed that Italy
still was formally on the gold standard.
Some said the new decree might
even have salutary effect on the lira,
since it would release several billion
lira in gold, if necessary for purchases
abroad. The use of gold direct, it was
said, would absorb the lire abroad and
thus prevent speculation.
Solution for Purchases.
Informed circles said the decree
was Premier Benito MuSsolini's solu-
ton to the problem of purchasing large
supplies of raw materials abroad to
furnish the equipment for his army
in East Africa. The point of depres-
sion was not stipulated in the decree,
but bankers said the government re-
served the right to carry the legal
limit down to any level it deemed
proper.
Statements of the Bank of Italy
showed that the coverage has declined
sharply in the last few weeks, while
there has been an increase in foreign
credits. Italy now has more than
