personal injuries.
That jitneys will assume a new form
is among the possibilities. It is ex
pected that if the courts rule against
them they will take out taxlcab
licenses and operate as taxicabs and
for hire vehicles. There are about 300
jitneys operating in the city at pres
ent. None of the Jitneys took out taxi
cab licenses yesterday. One Jitney
driver reported to License Collector
Hutchinson that in face of the Council s
action he had quit the business and
sold his machine. He asked for a
refund of his license fee and was told
he will receive it as soon as the Coun
cil passes the required ordinance pro
viding for the refund.

Party in Power Contends Official
Returns Will Give Plurality
if Not Complete Control
of. Ijower House.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 15. Incomplete
canvasses of the vote in several of the
close Congressional districts today
brought no changes in the -unofficial
election results which indicate that 217
Republicans. 212 Democrats and six of
other parties have been elected lo tne
65th Congress.
representative ' Doremus, chairman
of the Democratic National Committee
still claims, however, that Democrats
will make gains on the final returns
in. six or seven of the close districts,
which apparently have elected Repub
licans by small majorities.
Speaker Clark and other Democratic
leaders also confidently expect to cut
down the Republican plurality.
Representative "Woods, chairman of
the Republican committee. Insisted to
night that the Republicans -undoubted
ly would control the organization of the
House. A Speaker to be elected must
receive a majority of the House, or 218
votes. Although the unofficial returns
show the Republicans to be one short
of a majority, they are counting on the
Progressive elected in Minnesota, the
Progressive-Republican In Louisiana,
and the Independent in Massachusetts
to vote with them for James R. Mann
for Speaker.
Prospect of a Republican gain was
apparent in the Thirty-second Pennsyl
vania district, where the canvass of all
Pittsburg precincts today showed Rep
resentative Barchfeld leading Guy
Campbell, his Democratic opponent, by
12 vtes. On the unofficial returns
Campbell led Barchfeld by 19 votes.
Country precincts still are to be can
vassed. Chairman Fitzgerald, of the
House appropriations committee, after
discussing with Administration leaders
today plans for the programme of the
Winter session, said efforts would be
made to do away with the usual Christ
mas recess so that more business could
be transacted.
ONION FOR PEACE URGED
LABOR FEDERATION ADVISES PACT
WITH PAN-AMERICA.
Selfish Desires, of Few Individuals to
Exploit South and Central American
Countries Roundly Condemned. -
BALTIMORE, Nov. 15. Two methods
for employment by the United States
in a policy of preparation against war
are set forth In resolutions presented
at the convention here of the American
Federation of Labor and which th
committee on international relations
had under consideration today.
A resolution Introduced by Al Rich,
of the Texas Federation of Labor, urges
the establishment of a commercial
. Union between the United States and
the South and Central American re
publics. To th.s end. the resolution
favors the issuing of bonds by the
United Slates Government to finance
Bteamship lines to engage In commerce
among- the countries composing such
union and the extension of credits and
loans to such countries as may require
them, that they may be be able to par
ticipate in the . management thereof.
This resolution states that the interest
of all the people of the republics of
this continent, including the assurance
of peace among themselves, 'is of more
vital Importance and therefore entitled
to greater consideration than the sel
fish desires of a few Individuals whose
chief aim is to exploit them and their
industries, even to the point of precipi
tating wars between them for the re
tention of this privilege."
The establishment and maintenance
by the American Federation of Labor,
in conjunction with the other labor
bodies of other countries, of an inter
national congress of labor for the hear
ing and discussion of the causes of
disagreement between two or more na
tions is provided for in a resolution in
troduced by E M. McLarln, of the Fed
eral Employes' Union. It is designed
that the deliberations of this congress
shall lead to execution of such political
action by the workers as will bring
to the. attention of the governmental
representatives of such nations "the ex-
means."

'KKW YORK.
Movement Made Possible by Trade
With South America. Which
Aott Has Balance.
NEW YORK. Nov. IB. The with
drawal from the subtreasury of $650,
000 gold for shipment to Buenos Aires,
making about $5,000,000 exported to
South America in the past three weeks,
directed the attention of the financial
community today to the broadening of
this movement. About $20,000,000 in
gold has gone to the Southern Con
tinent from the United States Treas
ury. The movement Is made possible,
bankers say. by trade conditions as
a result of which South American coun
tries, particularly Argentina, have a
balance against this country. This is
seen in the rate of exchange and re
sults from our heavy purchase, of raw
materials, including hides.
Prior to the war most shipments of
gold from the United States to points
south of the Isthmus were for Br..
Ish account, London drawing on New
York balances. With Europe's gold
holdings locked up, except for re
quirements in this market. South
America is without any resources of
supply, save such as she may receive
from the United States.
Exports are likely to be restricted
temporarily because of the higher rates
recently imposed by marine insurance
companies. In the ordinary course of
events, however, they should be re
sumed before the end of the year.
SUFFRAGE UP TO VOTE
DITCH PARLIAMENT TO SIBJI1T
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.'

moval of Sex Disability of Women
Provided In Resolution.
THE HAGUE, via London, Nov. 15.

adopted a resolution providing for the
amendment of article 80 of the consti
tution, so that henceforth there will
be universal manhood suffrage and no
plural votes or compulsory voting. '
. The sex disability of women also 1b
removed by the resolution. The actual
granting of the vote to -women, how
ever, is still distant, as It depends on
the passing of an electoral bill, which
at present is unlikely.
Early in Cie present year Premier
Cort Vander Linden of The Nether
lands introduced a bill in Parliament
under the provisions of which t.ie con
stitutional obstacles in the way of
woman's right to vote would be re-'
moved. The bill also included a pro
vision g-lving women the right to.be
elected to office.

DAUGHTER FIGHTS WILL
Mrs. X. Mathews Charges Mind of
Mother Was Unsound.
The bitter 6ontest of Mrs. Nannie
Mathews to break the will of her
mother, Anna E. Dale, who left the
bulk of her $30,000 estate to her grand
daughter and great-granddaughter at
her death last May, opened before
County Judge Cleeton yesterday. It
will continue for several days.
Mrs. Mattle M. Tobias, of Seattle, and
Helen Tobias, aged 7, are the bene
