A recent traf- fic count at night, he said, showed that 10 out of every 11 motor vehicles which passed a point between Thirteenth and Fourteenth streets were taxicabs, the majority of them empty. An anti-“cruising” regulation similar to the one drawn yesterday was sub- mitted to the Commissioners last June, according to Inspector Brown, but it ‘was held to_be too drastic and pigeon- ‘The Cor ioners, however, regulation prohib- iting taxicab on FStreet far the presidential inaugural week, and Inspector Brown sald it brought about marked improvement in the traffic situation. #, Inspector Brown's action already has developed a difference of opinion among the leading taxicab companies as to the merits of the plan. Indications are that the Black and White and Yellow companies will offer no reeisiance to the regulation, while, on the other hand, the independents, through their organi- zation, intend to fight it most vigor- ously. Two Companies to Co-operate. W. J. Brown, president of the Biack and White company_and vice president of the Yellow company, said these com- panies would co-operate in every way with the traffic authorities to aid in | fmproving the traffic situation on F! street. “If Inspector Brown's plan is | for the best interests of the city,” ht‘ declared, “then we will support it We | want to co-operate with the police ano | traffic authorities. Conditions are bad | on F street, and 1 belleve the ‘cruising’ of the taxicabs is partly responsible.” The Independent TaXi Owners' As- sociation, however, ‘has served notice | on the Commissioners that it consid- ered the proposed regulation discrimi- | natory and would constitute persecu- | tion of its members.

Hardman of Georgia, in which he advocated establishment in the public schools of a Bertillon tem for fingerprint reading as an aid to determining the mentality of stu- dents, featured the second dayv's session of the National Education Association in convention here today.

On the morning of June 27 the situation was extremely dangerous on account of the wind and sea conditions. “‘At dawn on June 29 the aircraft carrier Eagle found us in the vicinity of Santa Maria and took us aboard. | The behavior of the aircraft and the | engines was magnificent.’” It is reported in London tonight that the Numancia actually was first spotted by two planes from the Eagle just when the aircraft carrier was about to give | up the search.

Pilot Bob Gast elected to stop here | rather than continue to Cleveland, as | there scarcely was enough daylight left | to enable the fiyers, Gast and Cramer, | to reach Cleveland, on the other side | of Lake Erle, before nightfall. Gast stated that the plane will con- tinue to Chicago early tomorrow, ar- | | riving there about 3 o'clock, Chicago daylight time. | Al the way up the Hudson and down the Mohawk Valley the giant am- phibian was buffeted about by a head- wind, which, over most of the route, attained a veloclty of 40 miles per hour, the transatlantic fiyers said. They said the plane functioned perfectly. During the flight Shorty Cramer, navigator of the ship, worked with his textant and navigating _instruments which will be used to guide the Untin Bowler on her flight across the great | north circle over Greenland and Ice- land.

The United | States, in effect, renounced claims to a | debt contracted during the war and limited its demands to the payment of debts contracted after the armistice.

M.
