NO SOLUTION IS REACHED IN CAR JITNEY PROBLEM (Continued From Page One.) If operating under an Indeterminate permit. Therefore, the city especially feels that the company now should, by contract, make good these assertions. The i city also feels that the rights and authority of the city over the ear company should he fixed and determined onee and for all by contract, so that there will not le continual bickering and travail from day to day. Even though the city's rights are defined by law, what the city wants Is a practical, working agreement between itself and the company without the probability of facing an appeal to the State public service commission on any and every order that the city may make. "Therefore it seems to trie that, if we are to consider the matter of regulation of Jitney traffic, especially if it is to be considered at the street car company's request. and as a moans of enlarging the company's receipts, the company shall at the same time consider the city's demands and If Jitney traffic Is regulated by ordinance in such a way as to offer relief to the street car company, this shall be effected at such time as to company agrees, tn terms, to contract as to I Its duties am obligations to the city. ( AN T l O.YIPF.TE YY I F54 JITNEYS. ■'3. It is Impossible for a street car company in any cltv to operate In successful competition against unrestricted and unregulated Jitney fbrs traffic. The busses take the short hauls, which constitutes the profitable business, and leave the long and unprofitable hauls to the company. They operate upon car line streets, often upon pavement paid for exclusively by the car company, and in snowy weather they operate exclusively on the car tracks after they have been swept by the car company. In fact with out regulatory law s "their operation, it seems to me, constitutes entirely unfair competition, and assuming that a street car company is adequately serving the community, the unrestricted operation of jitney busses constitutes a real menace to that community's welfare. "4 This does i.ot mean that a car company should be relieved from meeting fair and legitimate competition. If a car company’s service Is adequate and if is meeting Just obligations toward the city, it Is my opinion that while such a dequute service continues and while the company continues to meet Its obligations toward the city, the city should see to it that there Is no jitney competition on street car lines. In my estimation that is the one regulation that essentially makes for fair competition. The other measures of regulation, such as a bond, schedules, licenses, etc., aro for the benefit, convenience aud safetv of the public, generally. Tho provision restricting Jitneys from street car lines is primarily on for the benefit of tho car company. If busses are allowed on streets running parallel with car lines, it Is fair competition and the passenger may choose the conveyance he prefers. PUBLIC SUFFERS WITH SO REGULATION. It Is entirely bad for n city to allow unregulated, unrestricted jitney bus traffic; not only from a standpoint of unfair competition with its street car company, but especially from the standpoint of the public the city, and the safety of the individual. "Both Kansas City and Sioux City, having seen Dos Moines ns a horrible example, have avoided making the same mistakes. Kansas City by regulating its Jitney iraffic and Sioux City by annihilating Us jitney oars. YVe found that each city had Its own peculiar prob Jems, just as has Indianapolis. Our chiof peculiarity is that there is now no contract or working agreement, or basis of any kind existing between the company and the city. This, of course. Is not true in any of the other cities. “To serve the public properly it Is necessary in my estimation that 'the jitney bus shall be required to file a bond covering liability for personal injuries, to follow a definite schedule and a definite route, to be driven by ono who meets certain requirements as to age and ability to drive, to pay an adequate license to the city, and not to be overloaded. In addltiou to the above, at such time as the city is guaranteed adequate car service and the company, by contract, agrees to continue to perform those of its former charter obligations which the city sees fit to retain, and the cltv can be reasonably assured that there will be no increase in rate of fare, I believe that Jitney competition, by ordinance, should be immediately removed from streets containing ear lines. C. "If, eventually motor transportation is to supplant entirely trolley transportation in the city the jitney or motor bqs has not, as yet, reached the stage of perfection necessary therefor. SITUATION PORTENDS DISASTER TO CITY. ‘Tn my judgment, the situation in I)es Moines (which results from a fight between the street car Interests on one hand and the jitney bus and other interests on the other) Is deplorable, and Is one of the worst conditions which, could befall any American city. It involves a complete breaking down of transportation facilities in that city, a filling off of practically 50 per cent in retail sales, the unemployment in thousands .of families and a situation generally which especially forecloses the city from attracting either capital or industry. The stopping of the street cars Aug. 3. threw between 1,000 and 1,500 men out of employment who were directly connected with the streetcar company, and. of course, was indirectly instrumental in depriving thousands of other men and families of their employment. ' The city of Des Moines has now sixtyone busses attempting to carrv some 110.000 passengers to and from their various homes and places of business, which number Is far Inadequate to carry even one-half of the traffic—possibly not onethird. These are only the Immediate disasters following the suspension of car service. •’ln my estimattton the visitation upon India,’.!*polls of such condition as exists
in Des Moines today would be the biggest single disaster that could befall the city. It would retard the city’s industrial and physical growth at leaßt ten years, and the attending publicity would co.st the city and its citizens millions of dollars, hundreds of Industries, and thouhandg of homes and inhabitants." REPORT DEALS WITH THREE CITIES. The report of the Jitney Investigating committee consisted of typewritten pages of details concerning the jitney-street railway controversies in the three cities visited. Features of the report upon the Sioux City situation were that the city council has annihilated the Jitney by regulatory ordinances based upon a statute of the State of lowa, that street railway service has been bettor rince jitney competition was eliminated and that the chief complaints against the busses had been that an undesirable moral condition arose when busses were overcrowded during a brief period of inadequate street car facilities, that the jitneys took advantage of this situation and raised their rates In some instances to as high as 75 cents: that they failed In many Instances to run to tho end of their lines, passengers being summarily discharged before destinations were reached, and during heavy ! snows the busses would not operate until ! the car company had cleared lts tracks and then would run thereon. The report ■ays union men of Sioux City favor street car service, and It hat! been computed the jitneys In reality did not earn money, but nevertheless forty of them have filed application with the city council for permission to run. DBS MOINES COMPANY PRESENTS GRIEVANCES. The Des Moines tangle, which has been heralded throughout the country as a result of the suspension of service since the local councllmen made their tnvestii 'ton t.’tere, Is said by the manager of the ullllty to the long agitation against the car company, the company's failure to properly deal with the public, the iu>jectlon of the problem Info politics and th fact that Jitney fare Is cheaper than the street railway rate the report states. The company has demanded of the city that busses be eliminated from car line streets, that its franchise be cancelled aud it be granted temporary Telief from extensions and betterments, including paving between tracks, but the city has refused to meet these demands until the company submits anew franchise and guarantees adequate service. It Is stated. Figures to show that Jitneys also are operating at a loss here are given. Because tile street car men were strongly organized the Jit neys were oa the "unfair list" at labor union headquarters. The Jitney business has been very thoroughly organized in Kansas City, the report indicates. Russes first flourished in 11*17 during a series of strikes of street railway employes. Kansas City's street railway problem apparently is more difficult than that of Indianapolis since ffi)o cars are required on 315 miles of track while 304 cars operate on 100 miles of track here. The report states jitney service has been inadequate to replace street cars and gives figures to show that 4.750 busses would be required if 'trips were made hourly or 1.653 if three trips per hour were made. Prior to restriction of the busses there were 285 in operation. STATE. CITY LAWS REGULATE BUSSES. Legislation regulating the busses in Kansas City consists of a State law prohibiting the extending of the person of any rider six inches beyond the tody of the car. and city ordinance* requiring that jitney operators shall file an indemnity bond, regular routing of busse. forbidding them to operate on or traverse streets haring street car lines, requiring written consent of property owners on any street before a Jitney can op crate thereon and a regulation by board of park commissioners forbidding Jitneys from operating in or traversing on parks or boulevards. The drivers have a Jitney Bus Association which Is fighting much of the regulation. The association requires strict obedience of regulations as to routing, speed conrtesy and care In handling passenger*, fining offending members It i* trying to bring abottj the elimination of touring cars as Jifneys and the exclusive use of large busses. Dispatcher* are maintained by the association at the ends of lines, to Insure regular service. Directly after the passage of the ordinance prohibiting Jitneys from using car line streets the receipts of the car company increased about SI,OOO per day, the report states. The number of Jitneys has fallen off 25 per cent. It is added. Kansas City has an official called the "Jitney bits inspector."

STUNNING PEGGY PROVIDES THRILL Scant Gown Gives Deauville Folk Gossip Subject. DEALfVILLE, Aug 23.—Peggy Joyce gave Deauville It* post-seasjpn sensation. After a mad dash to get hero before the season closed, Peggy appeared dramatically in the baccarat rooms, stunlng in a strikingly scant gown of rose crepe de chine. Two enormous ropes of pearls and a huge diamond were among her Jewels which brought gasps of envy from other women who themselves were used to the finest in gems.

TWO OTHERS IN FINANCE BAND , ARE ARRESTED (Continued From Page One.) oined the band In an attempt to retrieve his losses, said to total $245,000. "It was the most Important statement we have yet received in this sensational case,” said Cllnnin. It was through Harshman’s confession taht the arrest of Davis, former head of | the Wlnton Automobile Company, was | ordered earlier in the day, officials said. Federal authorities refused to reveal tbe ! details of Harshman s confession, although admitting he “had told all.” It was stated Harshman had offered to apj pear as a Government witness in the prosecution of the band. It Is likely he j will turn “State’s evidence.” His bail ; wns fixed at only $3,000. Kohn’s story, according to Assistant i District Attorney John Y. Cllnnin, in | charge of the Investigation, revealed new schemes of the “swindle trust" running into hundreds of thousands of dollars. Kohn was caught red handed by Cllnnin who posed as a credit man for a securities house to which the gang attempted to sell $30,000 worth of notes signed with the name of Z. W. Davis, Cleveland millionaire. Authorities have not been able to determine whether Davis actually signed the notes, or whether the signature was a fake. Davis was Indicted, officials soi l, because he refused to cooperate in aiding to hunt down the alleged swindlers. OFFICIALS SEARCH FOR OTHER FRAUDS. Besides nearly $2,000,000 worth of spurious securities, seized when Charles YY. French, "the wolf of La Salle street,” and partner of John W. Worthington, was arrested, officials started search for other alleged fraudulent securities j amounting to millions of dollars, after Kohn told his story. The details of the huge conspiracy said I to have been revealed by Kohn were with- , held pending arrest of six additional al- : leged members of the gang, for whom ; warrants were Issued. Six of the accused leaders already are held. Authorities Indicated that the ethej deals were to be engineered through the American Rubber Company of which Kohn was vice president. Before his arrest Kohn Offered to sell $600,000 worth of notes of American Rubber Company to Clinnin. who was then posing as “Mr. Smith, credit man" for tbe securities company which discounted the notes in the 530.U00 deal. On raiding the YYorthlngtdn rooms $500,000 v>orth of American Rubber Company notes we.-e seized. OHIO MILLIONAIRE IS S IN DLEL Federal agents believe the gang swindled Davis out o£ $2,500,000, as revealed in a letter which was seized In French’* rooms at the La Salle hotel. Davis appealed to French for financial help, saying he would blow out his brains unless “you and your swindling pang return to me part of the $2,500,(X)0 which you have taken front me lu the last two years." After using Davis to the limit by selling worthless notes carrying his name, according to the story of the investigation. the gang planned to play Kohn and tbe rubber company, of which he was an official, as pawns in obtaining money on alleged worthless securities. James Horace Fleet, one of the six under arrest, dealed any connection wtth the gang. “French is an honest, hard-working man," be said. "I know of nothing crooked In his dealings. "The money we tried to raise on these notes were for the building of a cement road between Cleveland and Akron. “Tho $2,500,00 authorities say Davis was cheated out of was used by him for tLe purchase of the Akron. Canton A Y'oungstown Railroad. This was sold later to Arthur Steivart, Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company official, at a good profit." Fleet said Davis is worth $15,000,000. French and five alleged associates were arrested in an elaborately furnished suite in a hotel. French previously had been arrested in connection with the operations of Worthington, but had been re-' leased on his own recognizance, after telling Col. John V. Clinin, assistant United States attorney, what purported to be the history of Worthington’s alleged operations. Among the men for whom warrants have been issued, but who have not been apprehended, are A. E. Strelzln, a Milwaukee broker; Ernest Strelzin, bis brother; Richard Weinstin. Timer L. Gerber aid H. L. Beak.' Cleveland bondr salesmen; C. K. Strobel, Akron. Ohio, and Alva Harshman, already at liberty, after his arrest as a confederate of Worthington. USED DICTAPHONE AND TAPPED H IRES. Apprehension of the members of th band followed a probe replete with the melodrama of tapped telephone wires, secret codes and dictaphones. It has not been revealed just how the alleged swindling of Davis was accomplished. HU connection was discovered when Federal agents learned French and Worthington had been discounting Davis’ notes for huge suras In Cleveland and other eastern cities. Davis Is said to have become criminally Involved as a result of his efforts to retrieve his vanishing fortune. Rudolph E. Kohn, vice president of the American Rubber Company, a SIOO,OOO tire concern, is one of the men under arrest. He Is said to have made a complete confession of his knowledge of the operations Os the band. Kohn was arrested after he had endeavored to discount at the Merchants & Manufacturing Securities Company $30,000 worth of sixty-day notes signed Us S. W. Davis.
