Ecstasy Held
At BeIosco

Here is your eleventh chance to

Whether it is your last isn't clear.
The managers Of the Belasco
Theater seem to have taken quite
a fancy to the much be-censore6

movie-goers Of Lafayette Square.
The story concerns a young
woman who marries the wrong
man and then finds the right one.
After long Introductory

producers. you are ready to expect
almost anything. AS a matter OF
fact, except for a'few exceptionally
fine scenes which occur here and
there, the going is just slightly
dull.
The picture was made in Ger.

trademarks Of the old U. F. A.
days when unusual camera ShoCs
and trick photography had all the
critics by the hair. In fact there
is more trick photography than
there is story. Camera enthusiasts
could clip any one Of a dozen OF
these shots and frame them. They
are ultra-ultra.
The Continental types picked
for the star leads are interesting

from the sort of pulchritude ano
handsomness that we are USED tC

Just why the picture should

The committee report, written by
Chairman Mansfield, strongly recon-
mended completion of the cross-State
waterway and answered point by point
objections on which railroads and 9TH

The committee voted two weeks ago
to recommend completion of the canal,
on which work was interrupted after
Congress refused last year to appro-
pirate for the project, begun in 1895
with $5,400,OO0 of relief funds made
available by President Roosevelt.
The Republican minority f1led an
opposition report, and dissenting Dem
ocratic members, headed by Repre-
sentative Better, Democrat, of New
York, also registered their protest in
statement attached to the majority
report.
The majority discounted assertions
that the canal cut across Northern
Florida would drain of or pollute un-
derground streams which furnish the
peninsula's fresh water supply

5CENT-A-z0NE RISE
IN CAB RATE ASKED
Randolph Advises Boost at
Hearing on Bill to Limit
Number of Taxis.
BY JAMES E. CHINN.

An increase Of S cents per zone in
District taxicab rates was advocated
today by Representative Randolph,
Democrat, of West Virginia during a
hearing before 4 special subcommittee
Of the House District Committee on a
bill that would limit the number Of
cabs in operation.
Randolph, chairman Of the subcom-
mittee, said he believed the 2O-cent
zone fares are too low to permit drivers
to earn a decent livelihood.
Representative Nichols. Democrat,
of Oklahoma, who appeared as 4 wit
ness. supported the proposed increase,
pointing out an additional 5 cents per
zone would enable taxi operators to
carry liability insurance for public
protection.
Higher rates were suggested by
Randolph after booe and cries OF
"baloney" greeted statement by
Harry H. Bettleman OF the Console
dated Cab Association that the con-
scientious driver who works regularly

Executives Of the Public Utilities
Commission. which controls taxi fares,
were present when both Randolph and
Nichols advocated an increase, but
made no comment on the proposal.
Among them were Riley E. Egen,
chairman; Richmond B. Keech, vice
chairman. and James L. Martin, exec
utive secretary.
The commission members appeared
before the subcommittee to indorse
the bill, which would give them au-
thority to reduce gradually the num-
Der of cabs. Keech told the SUBJ
committee there are 4,757 cabs IL
censed to operate in Washington, or
more than in operation in Chicago,

bined.
Elgen declared the proposed legis-
lation is necessary for the proper
regulation of the taxicab industry" In
the District.
Some limitations are needed" he
said, both for the benefit Of the
operators and to improve trafhc con-
ditions."
Randolph also injected the subject
Of financial responsibility for taxi
cabs into the hearing by declaring
Congress had been derelict in its duty
by having failed to enact legislation
for that purpose years ago"
Nichols questioned the necessity Of
legislation to limit the number of cabs
on the ground that compulsory lia-

achieve that goal. He IL chairman Of

Creation OF an independent civil
service system for the District govern
ment will be provided in bill to be
drawn by Corporation Counsel Elwood
H. Seal, under directions issued today
by the Commissioners.
The plan is to submit the proposal
to Congress for possible action at this
session. The Commissioners, it was
said, are advised that Chairman King
Of the Senate District Committee has
taken an interest in the proposal, and
they asked Seal to expedite preparation
OF the measure.
The hope Of the Commissioners for
4 separate civil service system, inde-
pendent of the Federal program, is
based on the repeated demands of Or
ganized Washington civic groups that
District residents should have first call
for jobs in their municipal govern
ment.
Under the United States civil service
District residents would be subject to
the quota system for all the States. 1t
Is feared that such 4 system would
force many District applicants to stand
aside while jobs were awarded to resi-
dents Of other States.
The District now has no civil service
status, except for policemen and fire.
men, through arrangement with the
United States Civil Service Commis-
sion. and except that the school teach
ers have their own merit system.
While the details Of the bill are
not yet known, Commissioner Hazen
indicated today it was his idea that
the policemen, firemen and school
teachers should be brought into the
proposed District civil service when
one Is established.
The great body Of municipal work.
ers do not have civil service protec-
ton. Since the Hoover administra-
ton, however, an executive order has
provided that persons appointed to
MI District jobs shall be drawn from
the eligible lists Of the United States
Civil Service Commission. This rule
h waived when the commission has
no eligibles and when there are no
funds availale for holding of new
examinations. Department heads and
certain professional positions also are
exempt from the terms Of the exec
utive order.
Commissioner Allen has suggested
that the bill be drawn to provide that
. person must have been = bona fite
resident Of the District for three years
to become eligible fknder the proposed
