MR. DALY HAS NEW PLAN
Repeal Ordinance Is Withdrawn and
Drafting of Franchise Resigned
to Please .H Parties Con
cerned Is Promised.
Another Jitney demonstration in the
City Council chamber yesterday failed
to cause the Council to change its po
sition In regard to the jitney franchise
ordinance. They still are prohibited
from operating.
In the face of a general demonstra
tion participated in by jitney drivers,
"both union and non-union, and their
friends, in which denunciations, per
sonalities and blinded charges were
hurled back and forth, the four mem
bers of the Council Mayor Albee and
Commissioners Bigelow, Baker and
Dieck who have voted to allow the
Jitneys to operate only when tliey com
ply with the Council's regulations,
atood firm. They refused to change
their position so as to let the jitneys
operate while the test caee is being put
through the courts.
Commissioner Daly announced at the
meeting Oat he believes there is a
chance of the Council and the Jitneys
Betting together on a franchise that
will be agreeable to both lntejests. For
that reason he withdrew his ordinance
introduced 10 days ago providing for a
repeal of his ordinance passed July H,
which resulted in tae Jitneys being put
out of business Thursday. He says ho
will prepare a proposed Jitney fran
chise of his own.
Union Ifend Denounces Driver.
When the Jitney demonstration wafl
at its height President A. A. Thielke.
of the Jitney Drivers' Union, ordered
a Jitney driver who was making a wild
speech to sit down. "There is no ex
cuse for talk like that." said Mr.
Thielke. "I wish this Council to under
stand that this demonstration was not
staged by the men in our organization.
I have control of them and they are
making no talks, but I cannot control
men such as the one now talking."
Commissioner Daly then made a
speech in which he explained his stand.
'I don't think a demonstration such as
this helps matters any. Tou don't ac
complish anything by appealing to
prejudices. Personally I have been ac
cused of having deceived you in this
Jitney matter. I wish to say that I
have not, for I still believe that the
members of this Council are honorable
and honest men and that they will en
tertain any reasonable suggestions. I
will endeavor therefore to prepare a
franchise harmonizing the views of fie
Council members."
"Let the Jitneys operate until the
thing is settled," said Mrs. A. W. Nich
olson. "I make a motion to that effect."
aid Commissioner Daly.
Motion t Seconded.
The motion received no second and
therefore died, the rest of the Council
. holding that t'.ie Jitneys have had four
rrjonths in which to consider, legisla
tion and that .their present plight is
their own fault because of their fail
ure to act.
"There is no second to the motion,"
Mayor Albee announced.
"Who has tjie right to second the
motion." asked some one in the cowd.
"Any one," said Mayor Albee.
"Well, I second the motion," sang
out a woman.
"I mean that any one in the Council
may second it." said the Mayor, and
there was a round of laughter.
"Personally," said Commissioner
Dleck, "I believe there is a chance for
us to get together if the Jitneys are
willing to be reasonable."
Mr. Thielke announced that Munici
pal jirage janggutn naa expressed a
desire to appear before -the Council in
behalf of the Jitneys and would be on
Hand later. Why should we hear
Judge Langguth?" asked Mayor Albee
He wants to tell you we are law-
abiding citizens." "We know that," re
plied the Mayor.
"I don't think we ought to hear
Judge Langguth," said Commissioner
Dieck. "I think this Council has f.ie
situation well in hand and that the
Municipal Judge can shed no light on
the subject."
The Council adjourned a few min
utes later, before Judge Langguth ap
peared on the scene.
Women Address Council.
Mrs. A. W. Nicholson was one of Ob
speakers. She said the Jitneys should
be allowed to operate while the test
case is going through the courts.
Sarah Wilder made a speech in which
slie said the Council was all wrong in
the stand on the jitney proposition, as
well as many of the other things done
in recent years. Including the selection
of the public Auditorium .ite. "Ths
members of this Council shouM act on
things without regard for their own
personal interests," said she.
F. L. McGuire said the public should
tie allowed to choose its form of trans
portation. "From where I live," he said,
"I can come into town in a Jitney in
15 minutes, while it takes three-quarters
of an hour to get to town on the
streetcar."
It was at this point that a Jitney
driver in the Council gallery began to
rave, and Mr. Thielke told him to shut
up and explained to tlie Council that
the Jitney Drivers' Union was not re
sponsible for such talks.
Following the meeting there was a
rush of the crowd toward individual
members of the Council. Commission
er Baker was surrounded by a large
crowd and a bitter argument ensued.
Another crowd headed by Mrs. Jose
phine Sharp, who has been particularly
active in behalf of the jitneys, rushed
up to Commissioner Bigelow and be
gan denouncing his stand.
"See here," retorted Mr. Bigelow, "I
am doing what I honestly think is
right, and your threats are not going
to rorce me to change my stand."
Others surrounded Mayor Albee and
Commissioner Dieck and advanced all
kinds of statements. Arguments con
tinued, until the crowd gradually
thinned down and ultimately disappeared.

Little Joan Traser, war orphan, spent
her second birthday yesterday with her
rorster parents-to-De, Mr. ana Mrs
George L. Rochet, 1043 G&ntenbeln ave

from London, and will make Portland
her permanent home.
Unusual are the conditions surround

the child, Mrs. Rochet, then unmarried,
acted as godmother. Last Spring the
mother died, and the child was left
alone.
Before the death of the mother, Mrs.
Rochet met Mr. Rochet in London,
while Mr. Rochet was waiting to go to
the front with his regiment, the Sixth

wer married, and Joan was assured of
a happy home.
Mr. Rochet obtained his -discharge
from the Sixth Gloucester before he
saw any fighting, and he returned to
the United States. Mrs. Rochet had
preceded him.

'MASONIC- CASE IS ON
FRANK MOTTER WAIVES HEAHIXG)
HELD TO GRAND 1CIIY.
City Attorney LaRoche Says Plan
Will Mean More Trouble for Op
erators Who Will Bo Violat
ing Rules for Taxicabs.
The Jitneys will establish themselves
today as taxicabs and for hire eturs and
attempt to operate over their old
routes, having been defeated to date in
their fight for permission to operate.
The plan has been worked out by the
Jitney Drivers' Union and will be put
into working order today. Two-thirds
of the jitneys already have the required
license and the others are getting them
as fast as possible. Fifteen of them took
out licenses yesterday.
The plan is to evade the anti-Jitney
ordinance through a technicality in the
for-hire license ordinance. Under this
the driver is required to post a notice
of his rates of fare for service into cer
tain zones of the city. The jitneys plan
to operate anywhere in the city at
regular for-hire prices, but to special
ize in service over certain streets for a
B-cent fare. By this the driver will
post a sign indicating that his rate will
be 5 cents on Hawthorne avenue to
Fiftieth street, for example.
While having made no formal ruling
In the Droposition. City Attorney La
Roche said last night that the practice
probably will get the jitneys into more
trouble because they will be operating
as Jitneys under such a plan.
"There is a wide difference between
a ror-nlre car ana a juney or mgwr
"bus." said Mr. LaRoche. "In the case
of the for hire car his license provides
that he shall offer his car for hire to
the public and that the patron shall
say where the driver snail go. wnen
the driver tells the passenger where
his car is going he becomes a Jitney
driver. There is nothing, however, to
prevent the jitneys under their for hire
license selling their services to any
part of the city as requestedy their
patrons, but to confine their service to
one particular street or zone places
them in the Jitney class."
Just what action the police will taxe
Is not known, but it is probable a writ
ten opinion will be asked from City At
torney LaRoche before any action is
taken.

The plant of the Coast Range Lum
ber Company, at Mable, Or., on the
Southern Pacific, was forced to close
down a few days ago on account of the
car shortage. The mill employs nearly
100 men.
Meanwhile, however, occasional cars
are being received on the company's
siding and are being loaded by a small
force of men retained for that purpose.
The warehouses and loading platforms
at the mill are stacked high with lum
ber. It will be impossible to operate
again, said T. J. Seufert. the manager,
yesterday, until the present surplus is
cleared away.
The company has enough orders to

Remembered. With Many Set
Pieces and Floral Offerings.
Several hundred friends gathered at
the Edward Holman Company chapel
yesterday afternoon to pay the last
measure of respect to the memory of
the late Dr. James R. Cardwell, pio
neer dentist and horticulturist. who
died at his residence, 186 Bancfort
street, Wednesday noon, at the age of
86 years.
The funeral services, which were
held at 2 o'clock, were in charge of
Dr. T. L. Eliot and Dr. Luther R. Dyott,
each of whom referred to the long and
useful career of Dr. Cardwell, and of
the part he had played as a benefactor
to humanity and the state.
The chapel was made a mass of
flowers by the large number of set
pieces and floral offerings given by
friends of Dr. Cardwell. Many of these
were the gift of organizations with
which he had been connected.
Among the organizations giving flor
al offerings were: Portland Lodge,
Ancient Free and Accepted Masons, the
Scottish Rite Masons, State Board of
Horticulture, Portland dentists, board
of directors of the Florence Crittenton
Home. In all there were probably 100
floral pieces.

S Let us get back to common, i
sense natural food i
A CENTURY ago a wealthy faddist in old London invited
his friends to a "white dinner." Nothing but the old-
Z time whole-grain bread had ever been used before, but Z
a Hungarian miller solved the problem by removing from
the dark-colored flour everything but the white starchy parts
.so that the bread too, at the dinner, might be white. The
idea of white foods became a fad and tie craze spread all
over the world.
Dr. Jackson's 2
!oark Meal
is a return to the old-time, common-sense, natural
diet, The almost universal use of white foods ia
founded upon a FAD. The daily growing popu
larity of Roman Meal is founded upon NATURE.
Roman Meal is a well balanced combination of
whole berries of wheat (30), whole berries of rye
(35), wheat bran (10), and flaxseed (25).
The flax has been rendered absolutely tasteless and
odorless by electricity; it is the most nourishing
seed known. Roman Meal prevents indigestion.
It relieves constipation, or we will return' your
money.
There are many Roman Meal recipes printed on
the package but you can use all or any of your own
favorite recipes by mixing 1-3 white flour with 2-3
Roman MeaL Roman Meal restores the lost
balance, to the white flour. It makes pancakes so
digestible that the most delicate person will relish
them, also waffles, muffins, fruit rocks, gingerbread,
brown bread, steam pudding.
You just ought to see how the kiddies and grown
ups relish Roman Meal porridge with its delicious
nut-like flavor. Roman Meal porridge MUST
never be stirred, except while mixing meal and
water.
Roman Meal prevents indigestion. It is porous
and remains porous if yon do not stir while cooking.
The digestive juices reach every particle quickly.
Digestion is thus both rapid and thorough.
The bran in Roman Meal gives the muscles of
their digestive system its natural work to do and
thus relieves constipation. The flaxseed also aids
in this and prevents the bran from causing catarrh
of the bowel. Ask your doctor. At all grocers..
