Inspections
FightPIonned
ByTuximen

District taxicab drivers may
take their fight against new
taxi inspection policies to court
this week.
d At a meeting yesterday of
the United Hackers of D. c.,
a newly formed drivers organ
ization, funds were raised to
seek a court injunction against
a controversial District Public
Utilities Commission order of
April 90.
The order eliminated the
usual To-day period of grace
for cabs failing the Districts
annual vehicle inspection tests.
Drivers whose cabs fail now are
forbidden to carry passengers
until their cabs pass.
Since the inspection started
April /. only about one-fourth
OF the 5000 cabs examined
have passed their first inspec-
ton. The inspection period
ends Friday.
Raymond Montgomery, the
spokesman for the drivers
group, said drivers petitions
asking withdrawal of the order
would be presented tomorrow to
the P. U. c.
If the order is not with
drawn within a reasonable
time, he said, an injunction
against it would be sought from
the District Court.
He termed the order and the
more stringent inspection pro-
Icedures instituted this year as
arbitrary, capricious and dis
criminatory."
Mr.. Montgomery said that
although the P. U. C. order was
supposed to cover all "for hire"
vehicles, buses have been con-
spicuous by their absence" from
the inspection lanes.
Another spokesman for the
drivers said tomorrow's petition
also would ask for extension of
the inspection period beyond
Friday and would suggest that
the annual inspections be
spread throughout the year in
stead of being held within one
month.
Norman B. Belt, executive
secretary of the P. U. c.. said
he did not know whether the
commission would withdraw its
order but it would look into
the situation" upon receipt of
the drivers petition.

AUCTION ON WATERFRONT
Restaurant Fixtures Sold

A flight of pigeons perched
peacefully preening on the roof
of the Cadillac Restaurant to-
day but inside things were far
from peaceful.
Above the voices of so men
and one woman an auctioneer
was trying to be heard.
The Cadillac, 26 Municipal
Wharf S.W., one of the last
waterfront holdouts against
redevelopment, served its last
customer Saturday.
Earlier this year, when mer-
chants in the Municipal Fish
Market were issued final evic-
ton notices, the operator of the
Cadillac was told he would re-
main. Later, District Commits
sioner yelling said the restau-
rant would be required as Office
space for construction crews
working along the waterfront.

A Washington policeman.
suspended from the force last
month, has submitted his res
ignation after he was arrested
Saturday night and charged
with disorderly conduct.
Pvt. William H. Dameron. %,
who was attached to No. II
precinct, submitted his resig-
nation yesterday, asking that
it become effective next Sun
day. No action has yet been
taken on his request.
Dameron was arrested Sat-
urday night after police re-
sponded to a fight in an apart
ment in the unit block Of DAN
bury street S.W. Police said
Dameron posted $40 collateral,
which he forfeited.
Last April 90 Dameron was
suspended by Capt. Charles
Van Meter for being under the
influence of alcohol while off
duty, conduct unbecoming an
officer and wearing part of his
uniform while of duty.
At that time, police said,
Dameron accidentally wounded
a passerby in front of a res
taurant in the 1900 block of
Livingston road in Glassmanor,
Prince Georges County. The
policeman was removing his
service revolver from a friends S
car when it discharged as he
put it in his holster, police re-
ported. The bullet ricocheted
and a fragment wounded a
passerby in the leg.

"Two-thirds of Maryland's
prison plant and structure is
a &c h aic, overcrowded and
poorly adapted to modern con-
cepts of reformation"
This is an excerpt from a still
unpublished report prepared by
a prison expert for a special
Maryland commission six years
ago.
The report said that in 1920
the State of Maryland had an
average daily prison popula-
tion of 1,345 inmates. Last
month the prison population
in the State exceeded 5000.
The report added that the
Maryland Penitentiary is the
oldest prison still in use in the
United States and not now be-
ing replaced In a space which
the report said is sufficient for
l,l5O inmates, the penitentiary
contains more than 1,500 men.
This gray-walled institution
in downtown Baltimore has a
cell house dating back to 1904.
Warden Vernon L. PepersacK
points out that only one build
ing-a new hospitals less
than so years old.
Showers Lacking
In the largest cell house, con-
tanning 800 men in five long
Uiers Of cells built to hold about
$50, there are no showers and
only cold water in the cell
basins. The State has finally
provided money to install
showers, but for years most in
mates have been limited to one
shower a week, having to de-
pend on sponge baths from hot
water carried to their cells in
buckets.
Warden Pepersack said that
in his institution, designated
as a maximum security prison,
security is "a joke" One day
recently there were hundreds
OF men coming down from the
upper tiers of cage-like cells to
get hot water. There were only
three guards in the building.
The fact that there are few
breaks or attempted breaks
from the penitentiary appears
to be a tribute to the admin

Overton was killed in an auto
crash in Georgia.
The kidnapping conviction
was on grounds that Carpenter
and Overton had comman-
deered an automobile just after
the shooting. and held it's
owner and his woman COM
panion captive. The woman
was released near Richmond.
The man, left tied up when the
car was abandoned. cut himself
free. Carpenter was arrested
the next day in Florida.
Declared Competent
Carpenter came to court to-
day after spending four months
in st. Elizabeths Hospital,
where he had been sent from
