COUNCIL TO GET TAXI MEASURE AGAIN MONDAY

Passage of Ordinance Is Predicted for New Cab Proposal. Councilman William A. Oren predicted today that the controversial proposed taxicab ordinance probably would be passed at the city Council meeting Monday night. The ordinance, revised and amended by the Safety Committee, fs to be introduced for the fifth time. Committee members are Mr. Orden, Silas J. Carr, chairman; Mrs. Nanette Dowd, Ross Wallace and John Schumacher. Mr. Oren said that four of the five committee members had agreed upon the ordinance, which would require a vote of 5 to 4 for passage, If all council members are present. Limits Number of Cabs The proposed ordinance would provide financial protection for victims of accidents in which the cab driver was negligent, permit more cabs, prevent cruising, revise license and changes fees, fix the number of taxi stands, hours of drivers and provide for regular inspection of cabs. If passed, the ordinance is to take the place of an ordinance enacted several years ago. At present, approximately 380 cabs are operated here by 10 companies. Based on the 3930 population figure, this is one cab for approximately every 1300 persons. The proposed ordinance would permit one cab for every 1000 persons in the city. Another section 'provides that property damage insurance must be carried on all cabs in addition to public indemnity required for under the present ordinance. All companies would deposit SSOO with the City Contrloler to guarantee payment for property damage which may result from accidents due to negligence. Policies Would Be Required Another requirement would provide for a policy payable to the city for the benefit of persons who may suffer personal injury or death duo. to negligence in the operation of a cab. The policy would be SSOOO for one person and SIO,OOO for two persons. The ordinance proposes a license fee ,i $36 for each cab. The present fee is SIOO for the first cab and S3O for each additional cab. Licenses would expire on June 30 of each year. Stands would be designated by the Safety Board subject to the Council's approval. Another section would prohibit Cruising, Safety Committee members nay this provision would reduce the number of cabs. Companies which do not permit cruising are said to favor this section, which would allow drivers to obtain passengers only by B telephone call or a signal. Railways Have Complained The Indianapolis Railways, Inc., has complained to the Council several times, charging that drivers obtained passengers by cruising on streets on which street cars and trackless trolleys were operated. Committee members said that under the proposed ordinance, the railway company might prosecute drivers Violating this regulation. The ordinance also would provide that the city inspector of weights and measures and the officer in charge of the traffic division of the police department make periodical inspections of cabs and meters. Drivers would not be permitted to operate cabs more than eight hours within an aggregate of 24 hours. The fares would be 15 cents for the first mile and one-half and 10 cents for each additional mile up to five and one-half miles, with a maximum fare of 55 cents for any point within the city. Cab company officials have been quoted as saying that 90 per cent of the trips fall within the 25-cent rate.

Daily Record Required Drivers also would be required to keep a daily record of all calls, F-howing the number of passengers transported, the time and place where the passenger was secured, the destination, and the sex of the passenger. Any person violating any of the provisions of the proposed ordinance could be fined up to SIOO and imprisoned for a maximum of 30 days. Thomas Tarpey, city inspector of weights and measures, said today that if the ordinance was passed his office would start an inspection of cabs and meters immediately.

vember and December of 1934 and never was questioned. It was just like spending good salary money. Young Robinson didn't grow over - confident, though. By the middle cf January, he thought a change of scenery might be healthful, so he entrained for Philadelphia and took a plane to the West Coast. “I don’t know why, but I just thought it would be safer to get on a plane at Philadelphia rather than Newark,” he explained. He said he landed in San Francisco. Robinson’s intention was to take a boat to Honolulu and perhaps proceed to the Orient. That’s when he gave himself the only demerit for dumbness. He had overlooked the matter of a passport and that was too dangerous to tackle. Now he abandoned the idea of a voyage. Pays Nevada a Visit Instead Tom stayed aiound San Francisco. As a boy he had read about the Barbary Coast and Telegraph Hill. He enjoyed getting close to those places. After a few weeks he moved to Los Angeles and stayed there most of the spring. He took some precaution, always staying in the larger hotels where there was less chance of being noticed. “I made it a point never to form any real acquaintances," said Robinson. “I believe those people in California thought I was a wealthy young fellow who just liked to travel.” In the summer Tom decided to try Nevada. He visited Reno. Tries on Sheriff’s Hat “I believe Reno was the easiest place in the country for a fellow like me to get by,” he said. “The city is always full of visitors and strangers. No one notices any one else.” In July Tom returned to Los Angeles and the same hotel. Frequently he attended a movie premiere to glimpse some star in person. He deemed it unwise to visit a movie studio. August found him on the road again, riding a train bound for St. Louis. That was the nearest he came to Nashville, his home. He never was in Memphis, as reported on many occasions. “Say, here’s a funny one,” Robinson said. He grabbed my arm and his eyes gleamed with excitement, like a little boy. “I can’t tell you where this happened, but last summer a sheriff showed me his hat with a bullet hole that Dillinger shot in it. He even tried it on me and never realized who I was.” Back to Cleveland From St. Louis Robinson went to Cleveland, riding the train again. Late in September, almost a year after the kidnaping, he drifted to Topeka, Kas. He read newspapers daily and knew about the trial of his wife and father in Louisville. “I bought a radio and put it in my room at Topeka,” he said. “I listened for the news each night. When I heard they had been acquitted, I really got tight.” Young Robinson insists his kin were absolutely innocent. He admits now he might have given up at Topeka had they been convicted. Robinson liked New York and he returned there in October, staying at another fashionable hotel. He acted like an ordinary, affluent, young gentleman and never was suspected. 1 Used No Disguise “I walked the streets of New York and Brooklyn every day,” he said. “I had no disguise. Nothing ever happened. I worried less and less about being caught.” Robinson was asked if he ever saw any one he knew. “Once,” he answered, “in New York. On Broadway one night I almost bumped into him, but he never recognized me. He was R Y of Nashville.” He said the man probably would have helped him had he made known his identity. “I often thought of home, but it would have been crazy to write. I had no idea of coming near Nashville again.” In New York Robinson met the girl who was with him when he was captured in Glendale, Cal. He insisted she was innocent and never knew his real identity. Rents Home in Glendale “She was a good kid, absolutely all right,” he said, refusing to give her name. “I was hungry for home cooking and she liked to cook. We left New York in January and drove all the way to California.” After a brief stay in Los Angeles, they rented a small house in Glendale. Robinson said he liked the freedom of that home. I asked him what he did those last few weeks at Glendale. “I just hung around the yard and worked on my car.” he answered. ‘We took trips but always came home at night.

TAX SUBSTITUTE GAINSSUPPORT Boost in Corporation Levy and for Average Man Seems Likely. By United Press WASHINGTON, May 16.—The Senate Finance Committee met today at the grave of the New Deal’s original proposed tax on undivided corporate profits apparently prepared to accept the general basis of a compromise boosting income levies on corporations and on the average man. Rebels against the corporate profits tax contended they had killed the levy originally proposed by President Roosevelt, despite retention of drastically modified fundamentals of the $803,000,000 House bill. Democratic veterans, conceding that the substitute would be accepted with changes in certain details, said that attempts would be made to block increase of normal income rates from 4 to 5 per cent and to change other details but admitted the income tax boost, designed to raise $60,000,000, probably would be accepted.. The increase was considered politically unwise by some veteran campaigners because of the coming elections and because it was feared Republicans would attempt to use it in discussion of tne cost to the average taxpayer of the New Deal program.

the gioceries and I didn’t stir around town much.” Young Robinso% admits he grew uneasy in Glendale. He feared the neighbors. Twice in a week before his capture he had premonitions of danger. “The first came on my birthday, May 5. I was 29 that day. I was unusually nervous all day. My teeth were hurting me—the pain was awful—and I realized I could get no relief. I wouldn’t think of going to a dentist. I guess you could say I was depressed. “Mother’s Day I though about my mother all day. I really had some kind of feeling that I would see her soon. I sure didn’t think it would be just three days, though.” Robinson admits he intended to leave Glendale around the fifteenth of the month to go back East. The G-men made their surprise call on the night of May 11. Denies Using Female Garb “I have no idea in the world how they were tipped off,” he answered to the last question I asked him. “I’ll never know. I’ll swear that’s wrong, though, about any Pasadena drug clerk tipping them off. That’s impossible. “Freddie, you can put it in the paper that since this thing has happened, I never once have disguised os a woman. That’s the truth. This is a real mustache. I couldn’t have grown one like it in three weeks. You know that.” As I left, he pointed to his feet. “How could I have bought women's slippers for these No. 11s?” He laughed. “Why, the shoe salesman would have nabbed me before I could have laced ’em up.” (Copyright, 1936. by Nashville Banner: reproduction in whole or part prohibited: distributed by United Feature Syndicate.i

LOCAL AND U. S. OFFICERS PRESS CROUCH SEARCH

Indianapolis Man Accused of Killing Agent, Tax Unit Head Says. (Continued From Page One) by police and Federal men. and detectives have been tapping underworld “pipe lines” in an effort to pick up his trail. The alleged slayer is believed to have slipped through a net at his home Thursday night. Federal agents have asked that any information regarding Crouch be telephoned to RI. 4243. E. C. Yellowley, alcoholic tax unit chief in Chicago, announced Jacobs’ “full confession” yesterday. Jacobs according to Yellowley, admitted being in the automobile from which the rifle bullets which killed Foster were fired. The bootleggers knew, Jacobs was quoted as saying, that their pursuers were Federal agents, and opened fire for that reason. After the shooting Jacobs and Crouch retraced their trail and returned to Chicago Heights, where they went into a restaurant. Mi*. Yellowley said. Police, suspicious of the milk cans in the back seat of Jacobs’ car, watched for the two to return, Mr. Yellowley said. Crouch Saunters Down Street Jacobs came out of the restaurant, went to the car and was arrested, while Crouch sauntered on down the sidewalk, it was said. Six others seized in Chicago were questioned today. They are Joseph Krupa, 42, of Indianapolis; Mrs. Mary Sola, her sons, Bruno, 18, and Vincent, 20; Joseph Pegorin, 45, and Vincent Marronte, 48. Half a dozen over night raids by local police indicated, they said, that Crouch was in Indianapolis but they were unable to locate him. Five houses on Leon-st were searched, and acquaintances of Crouch, living in the 500 block, said they had not seen him for several months. H. M. Vogg, 4401 College-av, told police Crouch had tried to borrow money from him yesterday, and had promised to return and see him today. He said he usually met Crouch near West and Morris-sts. Plymouth (Ind.) police reported today that Crouch was arrested in that city four months ago in an automobile containing firearms, after attempting to elude state police. He was fined SSO on a charge of carrying concealed weapons and released. Meanwhile Federal agents stood beside the bier of their slain companion at Marion, Ind„ where Mr. Foster was to be buried late today. His chief, Mr. Yellowley, and R. E. Herrick, next in charge, were among the mourners. Funeral services for the slain agent are to be held at 2 today in the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ruel Foster, in Marion. The Rev. W. T. Arnold, First M. E. Church pastor, is to officiate. Burial is to be in Marion.

STATE LEADERS OF DEMOCRATS RENAMED HERE District Contests Studied in Closed Session at Claypool. (Continued From Page One) a Greenlee supporter, claimed reelection as district chairman. Frank Finney. Martinsville, state commissioner of motor vehicles. filed a protest with the state committee asserting that he was the duly elected chairman. He claimed to have an affidavit signed by a majority of the county chairmen and vice chairmen who are to attend the convention saying they did not vote for Mr. Fry. In the Third district the contest arose from a question over the breaking of a 12-hour deadlock. M. Edward Doran. South Bend, claimed election as chairman, with Mrs. Sears Gardner, Goshen, as vice chairman, when the tie was broken during the absence of several convention members. The Indiana delegation to the Democratic national convention in Phi.adelphia is to leave Indianapolis on n special train at 4:23 Saturday afternoon.
