L. E. Ripley, director, and Dr. J. R. Duffield, chairman of the general committee of local churches, represent- ing Rev. Earl Kernahan. All activities were suspended from 1 until 3 o'clock this afternoon as a mark of respect to former President Taft. The survey was opened in an auspi- clous manner yesterday, with 11 dis- tricts well represented. The district leaders were busy until a late hour last night sorting out hundreds of cards to be forwarded later to the city head- quarters in Calvary Baptist Church for tabulation and classification. Hold Devotional Services. Brief devotional services were held in all the district headquarters before the ‘workers began their important task. The second district, with headquarters in Mount Vernon Place Methodist Church, headed by Roscoe Brane, had nearly 250 men and women in the fleld. Nearly as many workers were sent out by the fourth district, headed by Rev. George Fiske Dudley. Headquarters for this district were in St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal Church South, Thirteenth and Crittenden streets. Unusually large forces also repre- | sented the first district, with headquar- ters in the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church, Fourth and B streets south- east, and the eighth district, the head- quarters of which were located in the ‘Wesley Methodist Episcopal Church, Connecticut avenue and Jocelyn street. ‘The former was headed by Rev. Freeley Rohrer, while Dr. Joseph White was chairman of the latter. Radio Talks on Program. Radio talks will mark the survey work throughout the week, the schedule being directed by Rev. Homer J.

The Newest er Made Sadder When Warned of Alimony Charles Jolley Not So Jolly ‘After Two Wives’ Pay- ments Fall in Arrears. Sad Song Sing By the Associated Press. DETROIT, March 11.—The secret of success of a sad song singer was ex- plained in Circuit Court here. Charles Jolley, blues singer in an Akron, Ohio, theater, must pay alimony to two ex-wives. On complaint of Helen Jolley, wife No. 2, Jolley was hailed into court before Judge Lester S. Moll yesterday to explain why he was back $400 in monthly alimony payments. The crooning tenor let it be known that he owed also $125 to Mrs. Pearl Jolley, wife No. 1, of London, Ontario. Pearl divorced him in April, 1927, a month before he married Helen. There are two children by the first marriage and one by the second. Judge Moll warned Jolley to arrange his $125 a week income to care for his obligations to his ex-mates, and Jolley departed for Akron, unjolly and humming “Alimony Blues.” CAB STAND RULING ASKED BY CITIZENS Northeast Group Seeks De- cision on Right to Park Near Homes.

I0-GENT GAB FARE PLANS POSTPONED Diamond Co. Delays Action Pending Decision on Use of “L” Tags. Any action of the Diamond Cab Co. looking to setting up a “jitney” service, offering rides in taxicabs during rush hours for a dime, has been indefinitely postponed. The action was taken at a business meeting of the organization yesterday afternoon while awaiting a decision by Police Judge John P. Mc- Mahon on a pending case involving the use of L tags, according to Harry C. Davis, manager of the concern. Mr. Davis said that the independent drivers, among whom the Diamond fleet is numbered, will be satisfied if other cab concerns are strictly limited in their use of L tag machines to livery service. There is a large quantity of business being done by the L cabs which should be done by H cabs, however, according to Davis. This consists of picking up fares on the street when returning from jobs. This cuts into the revenue of the independents so heavily that if the practice is not stop- ped it will be necessary for them to take some steps, such as the institu- tion of jitney services, to recoup. ‘The action of the Public Utilities Commission yesterday in approving the rate schedule as filed by the Diamond | E. Cab Co. last January 30, does not mean that the company may not institute jitney sirvice, Commissioner Harleigh H. Hartman said today. He explained that according to the taxicab code recently promulgated, all taxi concerns are required to fille schedules of their rates for approval by the commission. The rates are always approved so long as they do not exceed a maximum rate, he said, and there is no minimum rate in effect. The introduction ef a mini- mum rate never has been discussed by the commission, Mr. Hartman said. He said that most of the large cab concerns in town have filed their rates and that ,they have been approved. ‘The eomm‘laalon is still in correspond- ence with some of the cab companies, particularly the new 35-cent “flat rate” cabs, seeking to have them file their rates and comply with the order.
