agency for instrumentality through
which to avoid liability; but there is
wholly lacking that degree of proof
which is necessary to sustain recov-
cry on the theory on which plaintiff
proceeded" Justice Groner declared.
Referring to three prior decisions
holding taxicab associations liable,
Justice Groner stated:
And in the Rhone case, we were
at pains to point out the necessity
for adequate regulatory legislation to
guarantee to those who offer them
selves upon the streets of Washington
as public carriers of passengers for
hire financial ability to respond in
damages to those injured by their
negligence. But nothing has been
done to correct what We continue to
think is a growing public menace.
We, Of course, can do no more.
The instant case is fair illus
tration Of conditions which need cor
rection, for here plaintiff, with a
clear case Of liability, is deprived OF
relief because she cannot untangle a
maze Of corporate and individual as
sociations and place responsibility
upon those who might be able to
satisfy a Judgment. Blue Light Cab
Corp.-the name which Is set up to
attract the public eye-is nothing and
has nothing; but that condition we
cannot remedy"
The Rhone case referred to involved
a suit by passenger against the
THYME Cab Co., which actually owned
no cabs, but advertised as being
equipped to furnish "Try-Me" cabs to
the public. In that case the court held
that the company was estopped to de-
ny its liability to q passenger, even
though the driver was an independent
operator.
In another case, decided some time
ago, the late Associate Justice William
Hitz Of the appellate court pointed
out that the charter of the Diamond
Cab Co. gave it power to own cabs
that its trade name was on the cab al
the time of the accident, and that
consequently the cab was legally pre-
sumed to be in the custody and ir
the business OF the corporation whose
name it bore

Groner pointed out.

The document, representing the

Probable Item in Report.

infusion Of new blood in the courts"
1t was said, and cite the record Of the

lief bill. They continued sounding out
uncommitted Senators on the posi-
bility Of compromise, despite notice
by the opponents that any compro-
mise would be resisted.
Comment Of McCarran.
Senator McCarran, Democrat, Of
Nevada, Of the subcommittee which
drafted the adverse report, said COM

to add one or two instead OF five
justices would be merely face

He said the Roosevelt bill originated

blood only as cover for a purpose to
change our form Of government.
Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho,
agreed with McCarran's contention
that the bill in effect would give the
President a measure Of control over
the judiciary. They expected that
