SEEKING REPEAL OF JITNEY BUS ORDINANCE , ■ i par Owners Agitate ' Question Among All Commuters in Kansas City, Mo. KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 29. City ordinances hold no terrors for the "jitney” men of this city. For three years the “jitneys” have been pvagingr a losing battle to operate upon the streets. The most recent loophole adopted to thwart effectiveness of the antijitney ordinance —passed at a recent session of the council and upheld by a decision of the State Supreme Court —is the establishment of numerous livery clubs throughout the city. The jitneys have been a tnom in the side of city aldermen for some time, A little more than two years ago the Kansas City Railways Company succeeded in forcing the jitneys to cease operation on streets where there are street car tracks. The. street car company contended that it was s cfation of their franchise to permit jitneys to use street car thor oughfares in transportation competition. Operation of the jitneys over the various routes then was changed to the streets adjacent to street car lines. Shortly after this numerous petitions, signed by property owners along the new jitney routes, flooded the council chambers requesting that the jitneys were a public nuisance. Residents also cited in their petitions that oper ation of jitneys along these streets would indubitably cause property to MySk followed the anti-jitney ordiv. h pr> :ci*.3 the operation jj&kp jitneys in greater Kansas Prominent attorneys at that ZB stated that the deuthknell for in Kansas City had sounded the gasoline "buggies,” which had been hauling passengers over the streets of Kansas City for a nominal charge for several years would have to hoist their white flag. These predictions have proven inaccurate. however. The jitneys today are operating under a blind just as extensively as they did before the passage of tha anti-jitney ordinance. Following action of the State Su-, preme Coxjrt. when it handed down a decision stating that the anti-jitney ordinance was legal, the jitney men ran their motor cars through the streets without destination signs and without any fare placards decorating the windshields. When the jitney, whlcn carried no characteristics to mark it as different from any other car using the city's thoroughfares, stopped at a downtown street corner the driver shouted his destination. His patroni age then clambored aboard, and as they left the car the majority usually proffered the driver a slight “tip” for his courtesies. Jitney men were soon spoken of as the "bootleggers of transportation.” For more than two months scores of citizens have thronged the Council Chambers at each meeting in an effort to present petitions asking repeal of the ordinance now In vogue against the jitneys. An early repeal of the ordinance Is anticipated, parties familiar with the situation state. I A relentless campaign. In which ) the jitney men will deliver addresses to the Voters in every ward of the city will be under way shortly, and the jitney men are confident that this will ultimately result in more favorable legislation for the operation of their “buses.” HERRICK BUYS AIRPLANE Congressional Love Expert Will Use It to Campaign Re-election. WASHINGTON. June 29. —"Daredevil” Manuel Herrick has socked nearly all his month's wages as a Congressman into an airplane to campaign In Oklahoma for re-election. He bought the plane from the War Department, bidding it in at auction for S6OO, leaving him $25 for gaso li/je. This will get him about half way from Washington to Oklahoma, unless he draws ahead on his salary. Herrick drew a chpck on the ser-geant-at-arms of the House to pay for the plane.

BY BILLY EVANS. Funny how* a change of scenery often gives some ball player -a new lease on life. While most of the critics feel that the New York Giants will continue to show the way in the National League stlU the St Louis Cardinals must be considered very dangerous. On the Cardinals are three players who are performing valiantly. These ’three players were permitted to drift out of the American League. I have reference to Catcher Eddie ! A insmith and First Sackera Jack Fournier and Del Gainer. For years Ainsmith was a valuable member of the Washington club. He won much fame as the battery partner | of Walter Johnson when the “Speed ! King” was at his best. Ainsmith was later sent to Detroit in a deal, and immediately he started to play great ball for the Tigers. For

GENERAL GIVES X-RAY MACHINE FOR WOUNDED Gift to Hospital Expresses Wu’s Gratitude for Services During War. PAOTIGFU, China, June 29.—A $6,000 X-ray machine has been presented to the Taylor Memorial Presbyterian Hospital by General Wu Pei-fu in appreciation of the splendid work the American doctors and nurses In the hospital are doing for the men wounded in the China civil war. The missionary doctors and nurses are working night and day to meet the needs, for hundreds of serious cases are being brought to the hospital. The doors of the institution are open to the wounded of both sides, regardless of whether they fell in the ranks of General Wu Pei-fu or of Marshal Chang Tso-lin. While the local military authorities have converted three school buildings into hospitals staffed with well - trained Chinese physicians, many of the soldiers prefer the missionary hospital. General Feng Yu Shan, the famous Christian general, sent a special dispatch to the headquarters here asking that his wounded men be placed in the Taylor Memorial Hospital. Chinese Women Assist Doctors During the past two weeks there have been more than one hundred X-ray cases a day, and, with equipment limited to one machine and two American surgeons, with Chinese assistants, this has meant fast work. The sixty beds in the hospital were quickly filled, and the overflow patients are being cared for In school buildings. Missionaries of the Presbyterian, American board and Salvation Army, anxious to help, undertook the making of several hundred mattresses. -, Chinese women, under the direction of the American women, assisted. An SO S was sent to Peking, and two additional American nurses arrived in Paotingfu, while volunteer workers. in< uding many school boys, were placed on duty. General Wu Pei-fu and his staff officers made an inspection of the hospital and overflow buildings today.

several years he met with great success at Detroit. Then rather unexpectly came the news that Ainsmith had been given his unconditional release, made a free agent because of his many years' service. Many thought Ainsmith must be through. Next he b->bs up with the St. Louis Cardinals, shovrs great form, wins the first string job, and has beeA holding it ever since. Next to Rogers Hornsby he has been the Cardinals' leading slugger. Jack Fournier is a whale against right-handers, w hile Del Gainer dotes on southpaws. This combination has proved a most acceptable one around first base. In addition Gainer plays a good outfield and is a most dangerous pinch hitter. In the American League this year George Cutshaw, cut loose by the National as through, has helped make the Detroit Tigers. H.a presence around second has steadied the infield.

With a kindly smile and a most sym pathetic manner. General Wu gieeted bis men, thanked them for their service and urged them to be brave, for they would be well shortly. His visit greatly cheered up "the boys.” Gncrsl Wu Investigates So impressed was General Wu with the X-ray machine that he made investigations. He found that the machine was borrowed from a Pekin hospital and that the local hospital needed a similar instrument very badly, but lacked the funds to purchase same. He spent several hours watching the workings of the X-ray and was fascinated. There were many interesting cases, and General Wu enjoyed seeing the doctors locate the bulletß. Upon departure he promised the hospital $6,000 to purchase anew instrument. The hospital was built In honor of Dr. George Yardly Taylor, a Princeton University graduate, who was killed, and his original hospital de stroyed In 1900 by a Boxer mob. The first medical work in Paotingfu was opened in 1894 by Dr. Taylor and Dr. B. C. Atterbury. Hospital Is Opened Following the terrible Boxer days Dr. Charles Lewi3 reopened medical work In a little street chapel, where work was carried on during the construction of a hospital building, which cost $5,500, a gift from Dr. Taylor’s classmates of Princeton. The work has grown rapidly and the little hospital built by Dr. Taylor’s classmates has grown and developed Into a modern plant. There is an American and Chinese staff, which includes Dr. Tu, a charming “new woman” of China, who is a graduate of the China Medical College for Women. A civil war in China may seem a faraway, unimportant event to America, but any internal disturbance greatly affects the American business people living lonel ylives In the Interior cities and the missionaries who are risking their lives in service. The Taylor Memorial Hospital, manned by Americans and financed by American money, is playing an important part in this civil war. And this hospital is only one of many missionary institutions flying the American flag which is doihg its “bit.”
