MOTORLESS SUNDAY ASSURED AS FAR AS TAXI IS CONCERNED City Companies to Call In All Cars -Washington Puts Pleas- ure Riding Up to Individual Consciences. Brooklyn streets are to be practically empty of automobiles on Sunday, under the gasoline saving of the Fuel Administration, it was today order, by local automobile men. In particular the taxicab is to be conspicuous by its absence.

The taxi men say that not a single taxi will be operated on Sunday save those considered absolutely necessary for hospital and other emergency use. In the view of the automobilists there is no doubt that private owners will obey the edict. The opinion was expressed that the few who might like to disobey would not dare to brave adverse public opinion that is sure 10 flame up in vase of violations. In some instances it is expected that ignorance of the request may lead private owners unwittingly to violate the Garfield request. There were rumors that several patriotic organizations were planning to act against possible violators of the order.

According to the rumor these organizations intend to halt all automobiles encountered on the streets on Sunday, ascertain if it is really sary for them to be out and attix a big placard to the cars should it be found they were violating the gasoline saving request. Local organizations that were asked about this said that they knew nothing of such a plan. Few Taxis in Use. From the taxi viewpoint, it is going to be in effect a motorless Sunday. The general stand local companies was well reflected in the position adopted by 'W.

W. Rudd of the Rudd Taxi Company. This concern normally has about 100 cars out at the club and hotol stands and the like on Sundays. "We are geing to call all our cars in on Sunday," said Mr. Rudd.

"None will go out except those called for necessary business--that is. for service that has a right to taxi service on Sunday." All other taxi will follow the same policy. The Soden Taxi Company is in a quandary, having an order for six cars on Sunday for a wedding. It cannot reach the people who engaged the cars, the wedding is surely going to held, and the cars are expected at it--and do automobiles for a wedding come within the scope of what Dr. Garfield had in mind? The word from Washington is that it is to be left individual consciences to just what Sunday operation of automobiles is necessary, The Fuel Administration believes that if there is general compliance with the Garfield request, it may not be necessary to have more than a few gasolineless Sundays.

Many Long Island resorts are expecting to be hard hit by the restrictions. Restaurant men say that their trade on Sunday will be practically nothing. but the hotel men look for increased business through the many who will probably motor out of town Saturday and stay over Sunday, Garfield Explains Ban. Washington, August 30-The ban on the use of gasoline on Sundays for motor vehicles boats will apply only to pleasure riding, Fuel Administrator Garfield announced today. "The request made by the Fuel Adsaid a statement issued at the administration, "that pleasure riding be discontinued on Sundays for the present in order to conserve our supply of gasoline for war needs was not intended to prohibit reasonable use of gasoline-driven vehicles as a means of necessary transportation where no other means are available.

"Mr. Garfield believes that the public will construe the request wisely and intelligently and will not use their automobiles for other than the most necessary purposes. "The intention of the request is that all mere pleasure riding be eliminated but that necessary use of the automobile be not interfered with. "Just what is "pleasure riding' and what is 'necessary use' must be determined by the individual. keeping nmind always that we must have additional reserves of gasoline SO that there may be no possibility of delays in overseas shipments.

"The United States Fuel Administration will not attempt to tabulate automobile traffic on Sunday." The us of pleasure automobiles on Labor Day, and other does not come under the restrictions, inquiries disclosed. Officials said, however, persons desiring ti use ure cars on Labor Day should look into their own consciences to determine whether they should use gasoline on that day.

Brooklynites whose long-standing orders for coal have not yet been filled will be caught in another price advance on Monday. This is the day on which the regularly-scheduled increase of 30 cents a ton goes into effect. The increase really amounts to a tax on the unlucky.

Because of the coal situation, they have already been caught by several previous advances in price, notably the advance due to higher freight rates last June and the advance due to the jump in miners' wages, Their orders in nearly all cases have been on the books since April, when coal prices were low, but deliveries have been made and it is the price on delivery that consumers must meet. "Prices are charged consumers on the basis of what the coal the dealers," explained Fuel Administrator Frederic E. Gunnison. "Their costs are balanced up each month, and, plus their fixed profit, determines the amount they must charge. Coal on hand from a previous month must be sold at the price at which it was bought, plus the dealer's charges.

In some cases this 30-cent advance will not 20 into effect at once because the dealers nave old coal on hand. "In all instances the consumers pay the 1 price on delivery, no matter what the price was when their order was given. That does not mean the dealer is making any more money, for his profit is the same all the time." REV. DR. LAMPMAN DIES The Rev.

Christmann, 28 years old, an expert mechanic employed at Sperry Gyroscope Company on the manufacture of airplanes, in pleading guilty today before Federal Judge Chatfield to a charge of violating the Selective Service Act gave as his excuse for filing a false questionnaire a desire to shield the honor of the wornan regarded by her family and his friends as his wife. The woman for whom he made the sacrifice, jointly indieted with him, Mrs. Gertrude Marks of 495 Wicks street, Richmond Hill, also pleaded guilty, but the court postponed acceptance of the plea until September 4 SO that she might not be imprisoned pending determination of the case. woman is a good woman, an honorable woman, with the best of intentions," Morris Kamber, counsel to Mrs. Marks, told the court.

"She is a church worker well known in Queens, and did what she did in what she thought was an honorable, though illegal, effort to protect her name. She wants to, marry Christmann. She has not heard from her own husband in eight years and is morally free to wed again without the fear of legal punishment." According to Assistant United States Wenzel, counsel for Christmann, the Attorney H. Smith and Henry, C. circumstances surrounding the case include a marital mix-up that goes one step further than the "eternal triangle." In the court record is a letter written by' Lawyer Wenzel that sheds light on the case.

According to this letter, Christmann was married Washington's Birthday, 1913, and a daughter, Chris-' tina, was born July 23 of that year. He and his wife began to disagree and separated June 2, 1915. She, according to the letter, went to live with another man. He later became acquainted with Mrs. Marks and finally was admitted to Mrs.

Marks' parents' home, where he lived, when arrested, as her husband. Mrs. Marks said she had married him and no one was aware that this could not be because of Christmann's wife. Things went along well for the couple until recently, when Mrs. Christmann, who, according to Mr.

Smith, had a falling out with her "gentleman friend," complained to the local board, with the result that Christmann and Mrs. Marks were arrested. Mrs. Marks became hysterical in court today and was carried out by Deputy Marshal Stewart. A.
