Distribution of Arbitrary

ers Is Proposed.
BETTER SERVICE IS OBJECT
BEING
CONSIDERED
Ifext Move Also May Include Pro
;; hibition of Toll Cars From Mar
- rlson and Washington Streets
to Help Relieve Congestion.
- Fixing of routes upon which jitneys
rhall operate so as to distribute serv
v Ice to parts of the city not now served
- in the next legislation planned by
-.Commissioner Daly. He has such pro-
posed amendment to the Jitney ordl
riance in course of preparation now and
- Jnay present it to the Council.
. The measure, Mr. Daly said yester
' -'TSay, will not be presented at once. He
ays he wan s to operate for a time
inder the ordinance as it stands and to
HJnterpose the additional regulation at
. .e. more opportune time. Changes have
Just gone into effect, the principal one
of which is the requiring of at least
tight hours' service out of each Jitney
t-ach day and requiring continuous serv-'i-lce
with no stop of more than five min
TTUtes at either terminus of the route.
'i7 Better Service Is Object.
- Fixing of jitney routes is aimed to
".."improve service. As the jitneys are
operating now they select their own
"routes and with the exception of a few
""-routes in the city the routes, as ee-
3'jcted by the Jitneys are along streyt
V'tar lines. The Jitneys are merely tak
ing the cream of the streetcar business
without attempting to go beyond the
'-point where business la profitable or
plentiful.
V The extent of the new routing system
.'. has not been fully worked out but it
jirobably will be so arranged that the
- vlty will dictate the routes to be fol-
lowed by the Jitneys instead of alio w
r ing the routing to be handled by the
.Jitney men.
Another proposal is to stop the op-
eratlon of the Jitneys on Washington
"'and Morrison - streets between Third
"Street and Broadway. This is planned
- s a traffic measure, the congestion in
- these two streets having become a
T serious problem since the Jitney came
. Into existence. An effort was made
J to .oust them from the streets once be-
. fore, but it failed. The plan now Is to
force them off these streets and re
quire them to 'operate on Alder and
Stark streets instead.
r J Many Apply for Licenses.
There was a big rush of jitney driv--.
era yesterday to obtain licenses for the
- next three months under the provi
;:. sions of the newly established Jitney
- ordinance amendments. About 150 ap-
plications for permits were received by
',. Jitney Inspector Gill.
The jitneys in their new applications
have to designate their routes and the
''hours they will operate. They have
' to designate at least eight hours in
- very 24. During those hours and at
Tall other hours they operate they are
required to keep moving.
The majority of the operators have
I-slgned up for the hours from 8 A, M.
I to 12 o'clock noon and from 1 or 2 P.
-3d. until 5 or 6 P. M.

Whol Life Story of a wife
with her Problems told with i
Striking Moral.
ITH motion-picture producers
and exhibitors working in
harmony the first big trade
carnival opened last night at the Grand
Central Palace, New York City. The
programme consists of two weeks of
the most interesting events and demon
strations that could be selected from
this newest of industries, which has
grown to be the fifth largest In the
world.
For one week the exhibitors will
conduct their exposition at the Grand
Central Palace and the following week
the producers will hold their celebra
tion at Madison-Square Garden. For
weeks it seemed as though the ranks
of filmdomwould be split wide open,
with rival 'expositions struggling for
patronage and public recognition, but
the breach was repaired and all is
peace.
One thousand" stars will personally
appear at the expositions so that the
millions of admirers may see their
darlings of the screen in -' the flesh.
Special "days" will be. devoted to
"orphans," "allies," "Germans" and the
final grand fireworks of the two shows
will be one day in each devoted to the
motion-picture campaign for the
actors' fund. The money obtained from
the two expositions on these days will
be contributed towards the $500,000
donation of the film industry for the
$1,000,000 endowment of the actors' fund
of America. As actors help everyone
and no one helps actors except the
actors' fund of America, it is expected
that the big-hearted American public
will rise to the occasion and make the
proceeds of these two days very sub
stantial. The American public is
aware that this Is one of the worthiest
of American charities and, being con
scious that "charity begins at home,"
it is expected to respond generously.

SOCIALISM IS ATTACKED

PLE, BAYS SPEAKER.
Boston Man Asserts That Greatest Ex
ponents Never Had Anything" In
I Common With Masses.
A strong denunciation of the princl
Dies of socialism was voiced at Lincoln
High School Sunday night by Teter
Collins, of Boston. Mr. Collins Is tour
ing the country speaking under the
auspices of the Knights of Columbus,
being a representative of the supreme
council.
Mr. Collins attacked socialism as hav
ing nothing in common with the work
ing people, "through whom its advo
cates are endeavoring to root society
from its foundation." He declared that
not one of the men who had been or
were authorities on socialism had ever
had anything in common with the
working classes.
"The materialistic conception of his
tory," he said was socialism's scholas
tic definition. "This, when reduced to
common language, means the denial of
God," he said. "It means that this
philosophy that some are championing
as being an answer to the question.
'What's wrong with the worldr Is
blasting at the very foundation of
morality, luetics and righteousness."
After he had dissected socialism and
pointed out its alleged fundaments
inconsistencies, he took, up Ms chosen
subject, "What's Wrong With the
World?" He asserted that modern so
ciety, with all Its fads, fancies and
Isms, needed reformation through the
universal adoption of the 10 command
ments. Organisation, education and
legislation, he asserted, founded on the
principles of the 10 commandments,
would bring about tne brotherhood o
man.
