JITNEYS TO HAVE
LASTCHANGETQDAY
Question of Accepting Fran
chise Will Be Decided at
Meeting of Council.
SCHEDULE IS DRAWN UP
Intimation Given That Way Will Be
Found to Avoid Complying TVltli
Order to Stop and Injunc
tion May Be Sought.
TERMS OF PROPOSED FRAN
CHISE TO BE OFFERED
JITNEYS TODAY.
Sufficient number of Jitneys
shall be operated between 6 A.
M. and 11 P. M. to afford trans
. portatlon for 20 passengers In
every 15-mlnute period . in both
directions on all routes.
Additional service-may be giv
en at any time, but not less than
minimum except In case of acci
dent or -causes beyond control
of Jitney company.
Charge of 1-20 of 1 cent for
each seat In Jitneys crossing 'Wil
lamette bridges.
Kate of fare limited to 6 cents
except on Linnton run. Regular
Jitneys may not divert from
routes.
Must grant transfers for con
tinuous trip In one general di
rection. Operators of Jltney must be
over 21 years of age.
All Jitneys mupt b- Inspected
by the city to determine safety.
Passengers not allowed to ride
on doors or running-boards.
Jitney company shall furnish
a boid of $400 for each Jitney,
to enable passengers or others
to collect damages In case of
personal Injury.
Service required on present
Jitney routes with reasonable ex
tensions beyond present limits
Into well-settled districts.
It will be up to the Jitneys this after
noon at 3 o'clock to decide their future
in Portland. Having failed to apply
for a franchise in accordance with the
Daly' ordinance passed July 19, requir
ing them ,to have a franchise by No
vember 15 (tomorrow), the Council will
offer them a franchise which they can
accept or reject. The franchise will be
based on three propositions better and
more extensive and reliable service, a
transfer system and a bond to protect
persons who may be Injured by or on
the Jitneys.
City Commissioner Baker, to whom
the Council submitted the task of pre
paring a franchise, including regula
tions which he and other members of
the Council felt should be Imposed on
Jitneys for public protection and serv
ice, completed his work last night and
submitted his proposals to A. A.
Thielke. president of the Jitney Drivers'
Union. The measure will be considered
this afternoon and changes made to
suit the views of other members of the
Council.
Rejection Is Predicted.
It Is practically -certain the Jitney
drivers' Union will not accept the fran
chise, having made the statement on
several occasions that the Jitney can
not live if subjected to regulation. For
this reason it is expected the franchise
will be refused and an attempt made
to operate in a new way.
President Thielke, of the Jitney Driv
ers' Union, said last night that the
union had figured out a scheme where
by the jitney could continue. He re
fused to say what the plan was, but it
Is expected that they will take out taxi
cab and for-hire- vehicle licenses, post
- a sign on the windshield reading, "Any
where for 5 cents." and pick up pas
sengers as taxicabs instead of jitneys.
It is said the Jitneys also will make
a contest on the basis of their having
paid a jitney license up to January 1.
They will contest the city's right to
force them out of business under that
condition. It Is said further that an
attempt will be made to enjoin the po
lice from stopping the Jitneys. City
Attorney LaRoche said last night that
he has no fear of this from a legal
standpoint, inasmuch as the Supreme
Court of Oregon as well as the highest
courts of other states. Including Texas.
New York, West Virginia and Louisi
ana, have all held that the City Coun
cil of a city has the right to regulate
the Jitney the same as the streetcar.
Terms Are Modified.
The proposed franchise prepared by
Commissioner Baker would allow the
jitneys to operate over virtually the
same routes as they do at present, ex
cept that they would be required to go
a little farther out into well-settled
districts. It is not proposed to require
them to operate as far as the street
cars operate nor to go anywhere off
paved streets. No provision is made for
service to such districts as Mount
Scott, Montavilla. St. Johns, the outer
Peninsula or Fulton or the heights west
of the city. The streetcar serves all
these districts.
The measure would require the oper
ation of a sufficient number of cars
over each route to accommodate 20 pas
sengers in every 15-minute period be
tween 6 A. M. and 11 P. M. As many
tripper cars could -be put on during the
rush hours as desired. The streetcar
gives regular service 24 hours every
day.
Transfers would have to be granted
for a continuous ride in any one gen
eral direction, and a charge of one-
twentieth of 1 cent would be made for
each registered jitney seat, for crossing
the Willamette River bridges. The
streetcars give transfers and pay
cents for each car crossing a bridge.
Bond to Be Reanlred.
The measure- would require the fur
nishing of a surety bond or personal
security to the amount of $400 for each
jitney operated, the security being held
lor the protection or any person sus
taining personal injuries In Jitney accl
dents. No protection of this kind is re
quired or available at present.
The measure also provides that Jit
neys carrying more than seven passen
gers shall carry policemen and nre'
men free of charge. This does not af
Nfect the present Jitneys. The street
car company hauls policemen and fire
men free.
Routes Are Traversed.

CHAMBER ADOPTS
JITNEY RESOLUTION
City Council to Be Backed JUp
in Providing Regu'ation
Fair to Streetcars.
LABOR ATTITUDE DISLIKED
Speaker Asserts That If Organization
Is TJnduIy Aggressive It Is In
cumbent ' on Citizens to
Curb Its Aspirations.
'Either be regulated on the same
basis as the street railways or quit
operating," Is the sentiment of the
members' council of the Chamber of
Commerce toward the jitney, as enun
ciated in several speeches at the lunch
eon yesterday, and finally crystallized
In a resolution which was unanimously
adopted.
In the committee which drafted the
resolution are representatives of all of
the leading civlo and commercial bodies
In the city.
When the Commissioners met at the
City Hall this afternoon at 3 o'clock
to ascertain whether the Jitneys will
accept the ordinance offered them pro
viding for their regulation, the Cham
ber of Commerce will be represented
by a large delegation which will sup
port the ruling offered by the city, as
against the objections that may be
urged by the Jitney drivers and labor
representatives.
City Attorney LaRoche said at the
luncheon yesterday that the rulings of
the Supreme Cqurt make It sufficiently
clear that the city has power to deal
with the jitney, and said that at" the
meeting today it would be "a question
of whether the Jineys will be regu-
lad or prohibited from operating
Labor Attitude Disliked.
C. W. Hodson, who presided over the
meeting, asserted that the activity ol
the Labor Council in the matter, and
its declaration to the commission that
'it would accept only such regulatory
ordinance as is acceptable to it, is a
direct challenge to the citizens of Port
land." "If the matter develops into such a
labor tight," he continued, "I believe
that it is the duty of the citizens of
Portland to take up the gauntlet
thrown down by labor and show, once
for all. that the public wont be over
ridden by organized labor any more
than it will be overridden by organized
capital."
Speakers from various outlying sub
urbs spoke in behalf of the regulation
of the jitney and the fostering of the
street railway, saying that it has been
only through the regular and reliable
service of the street railways that the
city has been enabled to grow and the
suburban tracts to develop Into home
sections.
Resolution Is Adopted.
The members of the committee sign
lng the resolution Anally proposed by
C. C. Chapman were: C. W. Hodson.
J. P. Jaeger. F. K. Taylor. S. C. Pier,
N. G. Pike, William D. Whitcomb, Ben

HONOR PAID L. H. WELLS
MONTAVILLA AND EAST SIDE JOIN
IX TRIBUTE TO REPORTER.
Resolutions Showing Sincere Regard
and Appreciation of Work Adopt
ed by Organisations.
Sets of resolutions expressing the
regret of the Montavilla community a
the sudden death of Leander H. Wells,
Oregonlan correspondent for the Eas
Side, were adopted last night at a meet
ing of the Montavilla Board of Trade.
Dr. William DeVeny and H. B. Dick
inson each presented resolutions which
were adopted by the body.
The tone of the resolutions shows the
sincere regard in which Mr. Wells was
held as friend and neighbor by all East
Side residents of long standing. The
many services and the willing devotion
of the East Side correspondent has not
passed unheeded, for the old-time
neighbors have well expressed their ap
preciation and respect.
The resolution offered by Dr. DeVeny
M a htrh tettrranil"il to tn r-r
was taken by Mr. Wells In every move
ment for civic betterment. And also
recognizes the substantial qualities of
character that made his work valuable,
"as a friend, neighbor and benefactor
to this community, 36 years of service
cannot be measured," It reads. "He did
his work so unobtrusively and quietly,
and yet so effectively, that we scarcely
appreciate It until he has departed. His
life may be epitomized by Lowell: 'The
kindly, earnest, brave, foreseeing man:
sagacious, patient, dreading praise, not
blame, new birth of our soil, the "Ideal
American.'""
The work of Mr. Wells as a, reporter
Is typified as "36 years of quiet, effect
ive, upbuilding toll, 36 years of con
tinuous moral, educational and civic
progress."
Dr. DeVenys resolution ends, "Mr.
Wells needs no encomium: his finest
monument will bo the kind, pleasant
memories of his many kindly acts, im
pressed upon the hearts " and minds
of the multitudes of friends who knew
him. and Who worked with him."
The second resolution speaks in a
like manner of Mr. Wells' estimable
qualities, and shows especially how he
encouraged the upbuilding of the com
munity at Montavilla. -"Ever since Its
settlement. 24 years ago. It . says.
Montavilla has had in Mr. Wells a con
stant and consistent friend. His gra
cious pen noted good, not evil, of this
suburb, arid has made public mention
of the rapid growth of this beautiful
and healthful suburb of homes, churches
and schools.
'Mr. Wells often attended our meet
ings, and upon invitation took part in
our deliberations and offered wise sug
gestions. Therefore, be it
'Resolved. That the Montavilla Board
of Trade does hereby express Its sor
row and regret at the loss of so good,
true and able a supporter and friend as
Leander H. Wells had been since Its
organization in 1903."
Copies of both resolutions will be
kept In the records of the Board of
Trade, and will also be mailed to Mrs-
Wells.

Those who wake up with bad breath,
