ton landmark, still stands. Several
months ago a portion of the property
at Fourteenth and H streets was leased
to parking firm and the building al

Wife Tells Story.
Here's the story as told by Will
liams' wife, Helen, while her husband
slept under a sedative administered
to calm his jolted nerves:
Two colored men hired the cab at
Fourteenth and " streets and asked
to be driven to Woodburn, D. c., near
Soldiers Home Cemetery. On Sargent
road, near the District line, Williams
felt the cold muzzle of a revolver
against his neck.
do you know what this is?" de-
manded one bandit.
williams said he did. One of the
men, armed with a knife, climbed
into the front seat. Williams asked
him to take whatever they wanted
from his pockets. He refused. Will
liams surrendered IS.
The driver then was forced into the
back seat while one of his assailants
took the wheel. Down went the ac-
celerator. The Speedometer needle
spun to so, to 60, to IS.
I'm going to tell you who I am,
but you're never going to live to tell" i"
threatened the gunman. I'm the
Kid"
Bandit Fires Four Shots.
williams suddenly lashed out with
one foot. kicked 'the Kids" gun hand
and plunged out of the cab. AS he lay
half stunned on the roadside, the
seams of his trousers split by the
force of his fall, the bandits fired at
him four times, he said, from the
rapidly disappearing cab.
DR.. I. Rod, who treated Williams at
his home, said it was miracle" no
bones had been broken.
Another bandit victim, Irving Ko-
god, 2601 Sherman avenue, was re-
ported in a slightly better" condition
at Garfield Hospital today after re-
moval from his stomach Of bullet
that hit him Tuesday in an attempted
hold-up of his grocery store by a
colored man.
Meanwhile, sixth precinct police
held a 23-year-old colored man on
suspicion he was responsible for three
pocketbook snatchings.
The suspect was arrested last night
by Policeman H. A. Deaner after a
chase on Upshur street, during which
several shots we're fired at the fugi-
tive. Deaner found the man hiding
under porch Of the tuberculosis
Hospital.

District officials tomorrow will pre-
sent to Chairman Thomas of the Sen
ate Subcommittee in charge of the
1887 District appropriation bill the
amendments to broaden the traffic
authority of the Commissioners to con-
troll the number of taxicabs and to
regulate snow removal.
Preparation of the amendments fol-
lowed a hearing before the sNbcom-
mittee several days ago on general
traffic problems.
The subcommittee may meet Satur-
day to decide on the various changes
it will make in the bill as it came
from the House. In that event, the
revised bill probably will be reported
by the Senate Appropriations Com
rnittee next week
Fear of Increase Discounted.
Fears that Washington may be flood
ed with hundreds of additional taxi
cabs just before Congress has a chance
to approve legislation directing reduc-
ton of the number to 1000 as licenses
are given up or revoked for cause, were
discounted meanwhile by Richmond B
Keech. vice chairman of the Public
Utilities Commission.
While the proposed legislation has
no retroactive provision, Keech holds
there are other factors controlling the
situation.
His statement was made after re-
ports reached the District Building
that New York and Philadelphia
financial interests" were ready to como
in here with moves to dominate the
District taxicab industry.
Licenses Go to Drivers.
Taxi companies do not get licenses
to operate cabs These go to the
drivers" said Keech. "One important
feature of the ruling of the court de-
cision upholding the powers of the
commission to regulate taxis was to
shut out renting of cabs
That is why companies now are
recording condition bills of sale of their
cabs to their drivers. If too many
cabs come in here the drivers would
not stay in business and the companies
would be left with unused cabs on their
hands
Power to start reduction of the num-
ber of licensed cab drivers would be
effective July /.

SUIT CHALLENGES
vO|D|NC Of PERMIT
Motorist Who Lost License
Denies D. C. Heads Act
ConstitutionaIIy.

The authority of the District Com
missioners to revoke or suspend drivers
permits in their traffic enforcement
campaign was challenged today on
constitutional grounds in the United
States Court of Appeals.
A ruling voiding the law under which
permits are taken from traffic violators
would deprive officials of one of their
most powerful weapons to compel OBJ
servance of regulations.
Joseph E. Campbell, 1888 R street,
an Agriculture Department employe,
asked for writ of error from a ruling
by the Board of Revelations and
Restorations of Operators Permits re-
voking his permit because of first
offense speeding conviction. Campbell
was fined SIS on February II after he
had been convicted of driving 81 miles
an hour at l am. on Key Bridge.
Appeal Provided in Law.
Since an appeal to the District
Commissioners is provided in the law
Campbell asked the city heads to set
aside the boards decision, but his re-
quest was denied. The action today
was begun pursuant to another provi-
sion of the law which allows recourse
to the Appellate Court.
An attempt to obtain a ruling in
District Supreme Court on the consti-
tutionality of permit revocations failed
a month ago when Justice Jesse C.
Adkins held that the motorist should
have turned to the Commissioners OF
the Court of Appeals before seeking an
injunction.
The present law provides that the
Commissioners may revoke or suspend
permits for any cause which they OF
their agents may deem sufficient"
Campbell's attorneys, ]. Chase Nc.
Kenzie and William j. Kelly. con.
tended this was an unconstitutional
delegation of legislative authority ano
cited the Schecter N. r. A. case al
precedent for their conclusion.
No Standards Laid Down.
They pointed out that the law laiC
down no standards and placed M
limitations on the authority of the
Commissioners to revoke permits.
Their additional argument that
revocation of permits violates the dus
process clause of the Constitution also
was presented. The lawyers asserted
that Campbell had property right in
his permit to drive an automobile, and
this right was abridged without due
process of law when the board ordered
him to surrender the license.
The Commissioners and members OF
the Board of Revelations and Restora-
tions were named as defendants in the
action. The law attacked was passed
by Congress on March 8, 1925, and was
amended July 3, 1926, and July l, 1881

Air Rifle Pellet May Cause
Lad, II, to Lose Right Eye

A boyish prank may cost Joseph
Donahue. II, of 905 G street south

Young Donahue was visiting his

Appeals to member agencies of the

needy families felt to an increasing
degree the pinch of curtailed public

Yesterday, the hard-pressed organ
izations were forced to reject 90 cases
in addition to those on their regular

furnish some slight amount of en-
ergency assistance. The American
Legion reported such appeals, the

Family in Distress.
Among the appeals to the Family
Service Association was one from a
man with a wife and five children
youngest of whom has been confined
to Gallinger Hospital since March %
with pneumonia. Special nursing at
tention required more funds than were
available out of the s24 weekly wage
of the man.
Through efforts of the Family Serv-
ice Association an additional SIT was
raised, but no continued aid can be
promised.

owner, Miss Flora MacDougall, who is
visiting the Capital preparatory to
sailing for Europe, where she hopes to
establish the authenticity of her prize.
Amazed by its exquisite workman
ship, collectors and museum curators
have placed a potential value of $780,

hung outside Miss MacDougall's gift
shop and tea room in San Francisco.
1t was there that the shield attract
ed the attention of tourist, who ad-
vised the young woman she had a
valuable curio hanging where it might
be easily stolen.
Paid Only $40 for 1t.
Miss MacDougall had thought moth
ing of its value as a work of art when
the junk shop proprietor hauled 1t
from beneath several trunks and told
her she could have it for $40. That
was more than five years ago, and
Miss MacDougall says she has lived q

Many "cranks" have cast envious
eyes on the highly priced shield since
word leaked out about its supposedly
true worth, and ahey have given Miss
MacDougall some uneasy moments.
She was practically forced to leave
San Francisco because of "blackhand"
letters, mysterious telephone calls and
kidnapping threats, she said.
She went to live with her parents
in Seattle, Wash, while art. experts

Now, satisfied, she has something
