Bridgeport, Dec. 2 —A crusade by | the police agains i-cab drivers | who charge excessive rates has been started by the police. One driver's license was suspended for a week | ana those who violate the regulations { governing cab hire will meet with a similar punishment. Recently a prominent citizen com- plained to the police that he - had been charged $1 by a driver who took him from the railroad station to the Singer shop. The driver’s li- cense was suspended. According to Lieut. Wheeler, operators are supposed to | have rate card conspicuously posted their* machines, which they fail to show. The regulations governing taxi-cabs are the same as those under which the old horse cabs were oper- ated. The rate of prices stated on the card follow: One person, 50 cents; two persons, cents; three persons, $1; four per- sons, $1.25, within the city limits. The old carriage rates of $2 per hour still prevail. All these prices from 11 o'clock in the evening until 6 o'clock in the morning are double, THER OUTLOOK. the a in W Fair Tonight and Christmas FEve, Is Announcement.

Many repre- sentatives commented on the expected drop in the market on Tuesday morn- ing before any public intimation was issued that a peace note had been sent. Representative Wood, of Indiana, who introduced the resolution, dwelt particularly on the curious sequence of statements explaining the presi- dent's peace move, which emanated from the state department. The resolution, which was not read on the floor of the House, but merely filled with the resolution clerk, is as follows: “Resolved, that a committee of five representatives be appointed by the speaker of the House to investigate and report as to whether or not any one high in the administration of gov- ernment affairs in the United States, or any relative of any one high in au- thority in the administration of gov- ernmental affairs in the United States, profited financially by the fluctuations in the stock market occurring on Thursday, December 21, 1916, follow- ing the two contradictory interpreta- tions given to the public from the of- fice of the secretary of state concern- ing the note of the president of the TUnited States dated December 18, 1916, to the belligerent powers.” Commenting on his action Mr. Wood said: ,“There have been rumors around the House all day that millions have been cleaned up in the stock market by persons who received advance Infor- mation about the peace note and the developments of the last forty-eight hours. . “Phese reports have been discussed privately here on the floor and about the corridors. It was up to some one to introduce a resolution to find out if there was a leak. “If it is true that some one had | advanced information about these things and used it to profit, the world should know it at once. If it is not true, it is proper that all suspicion | should be removed. 9 “My resolution speaks rather plainly for itself, if you will read it | carefully, and it says all that should be said at this time. It is not diffi- cult to understand what I am seeking to find out.” State department officials when they an investigation or today, they hoped the investigation would be made. rr— Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured | by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear.
