Insurance Exchange
Upheld by Court
Several Hundred D. G.
Residents Affected by
Judge Ruedy's Decision

Under a decision of Judge Ellen
K. Raedy in Municipal Court yes
terday. several hundred District resi-
dents may be forced to make pay
ments to help liquidate an inSolvent
Pennsylvania insurance exchange.
Under the decision Charles Fisch-
er. 2212 Thirty-frst place Sc. will
be required to pay total assessment
of 1898, the amount he had paid on
two premiums with the PENNSYLVANIA
concern, the keystone Indemnity
Exchange.
According to suit filed here by
Ralph P. Dunn. as counsel for Mat
thew H. Taggart, Pennsylvania in
surance commissioner, the Pennsyl-
vania Assembly passed a law in
April. 1929. making subscribers in
reciprocal insurance exchange liable
for one additional premium or de-
post charged on each policy held
by them.
Failed in 1888.
Since the keystone Indemnity Ex-
change was declared insolvent in
1888, Judgment in rem has been
obtained in Pennsylvania courts to
collect the sum from policy holders.
Judge Raedy's action. in effect, up
held the action of the Pennsylvania
courts The Supreme Court of the
State affirmed the assessment order.
Personal action. however, became
necessary, and Judge Raedy ruled in
favor of the plaintiff against Mr..
Fischer.
The Keystone Indemnity Exchange
had been operating here since 1924.
$2,843,233 Total Sought.
The Pennsylvania insurance COM
missioner is attempting to collect a
total of s2,843,233.27 from all sub
scribers of the now insolvent ex-
change.
DR.. Dunn pointed out. however,
that in the original Pennsylvania
court it was provided that after the
policy claims, amounting to s29T,-
455.55; other obligations and the ex-
penses of administering the estate
have been taken care of, the money
paid in shall be redistributed pro
rata to the subscribers from whom
it was collected.

English Spy System Pictured
As Greatest Europe Has Seen
Paris Resident for
18 Years Tells of
French Cooperating

The English have established an
espionage system on the European
continent the likes of which has
probably never been seen, Dr. Nelson
McCleary. artist and archeologist,
who has just returned to this coun-
try after 18 years in Paris, said
yesterday.
The French-even knowing they
face certain death if they are caught
are cooperating with the English
men who wander through occupied
areas.
And the English are using the
information they get from their
espionage agents to shoot straight,
he said Il don't know what they're
doing in the rest of France, but 7

Paris"
French Cheer Her Raiders.
The Germans used to sound air
raid alarms when the English planes

when the alarm sounded, the au-
dience in Paris largest movie stood
up and cheered and refused to go
to the shelters.
The Frenchmen. in spite of
demonstrations like this, have no
love for the English, he said. They
turned against the English when
the latter began to sink the battle
ships which every Frenchman is
inordinately proud of in a personal
way.
The French dislike the English
intensely It's Just that they hate
the Germans even more-and they
know that their best hope of revenge
on the Germans lies in English sue

Dr. McCleary was in Paris at the
time of the German occupation and
told how the German soldiers first
appeared in the city-coming out
of the subway entrances. Each one

Cab Fare Boost
Sought During
Commission Action
On Proposals Is
Seen as Unlikely

Washington's taXicab industry was
stirred again today with various
proposals for increasing fares during
the Inauguration period. There was
doubt at the District Building as to
whether the Public Utilities Com
mission would be able to take any
action before Monday.
The most tangible proposal came
from Jack Royer of Premier Cab
Co., who said he would file with the
commission this afternoon a request
for new Interpretation of the
present taxi rate schedule to permit
customers to be charged on time
basis.
The uniform rate schedule now
calls for a charge of 20, 40, go or 30
cents in the four major zones, but
also permits the hiring of cabs on
an hourly basis at rate OF 81 an
hour. Mr.. Rover said his proposal
would permit drivers to charge less
than So if the trip took less than an
hour, and he insisted this could be
done if the commission issued a new
Interpretation of its rules.
Ready to Study Proposal.
Commission Chairman Riley E.
Elgen said the Royer proposal would
be considered. but first would be
referred to Corporation Counsel
Richmond B. Keech, general coun-
sci to the commission. Mr.. Keech
said he thought new legal interpre-
tation could be issued without call
ing a public hearing-if the new in
terpretation did not constitute
change in the rates.
He said he would not want to
pass on the latter question until he
had seen formal proposal. Within
the past several days some taxi
drivers have verbally asked the COM
mission what chances there were for
an increase in the uniform zone
rates. to be applied to downtown
zone !.
Ten Days Notice for Hearing.
A. w. Crossley. executive secretary
of the commission, said a public
hearing would have to be called on
such petitions and that 10 days pub
lie notice must be given
While some commission callers are
reported to have mentioned the pos
sibility of taxi strike or that drivers
might proceed to charge higher rates
without commission action, these
suggestions were discounted by some
! of the more leading figures among
! taxi companies. One of them said
'the last thing we would want to
do during the inaugural would be
anything that would hurt us later
with the taxi-riding public"
