The posted rate cards of the Jitneys say that no charge on the hourly basis shall be for less than one hour, which gives the driver the right to make that charge if he wishes. Following this out. under the new Jitney system it costs a full hour's fare, ranging from $1.25 to $2.50. accordir.s to the luxuri ance of the machine, to go from Second and Alder streets to Fourth and Taylor, a matter of five blocks, while it costs but 5 cents to go to East Fiftieth and Division streets, a matter of something like 60 blocks. - Delivery at Homes Required. There is one phase of the new sys tem which is beginning to react on the Jitney. He is required to deliver his passengers to their homes if they re side within the 5-cent zones.

Address in Nebraska, W ill Be Future Programme. OMAHA. Nov. 20. As one of the re sults of the recent election Nebraska is to lose William J. Bryan. He has dismantled his home at Falrview, chipped a portion of the furniture to hla Winiter home at Miami. Kla.. and Is sending his splendid library, the pride of his heart, to his Summer home at Asheville, N. C. at which place, it Is said, he will hereafter have his resi dence, maintaining only his business address in Nebraska. Falrview is to be for sale, although Ir. Bryan's brother, C. W. Bryan, de nies that Mr. Bryan has left Nebraska for all time. It is said In politicrl cir cles that Mr. Bryan, having been en tirely deserted by Nebraska Democrats, Is now preparing to leave the party and announce himself an out-and-out Prohibitionist. Many Nebraska Demo crats believe he has his eye on the Prohibition Presidential nomination In 1920. Party Leadership Is I,ont. Mr. Bryan has been deposed as the Democratic leader in Nebraska and the man who deposed him. United States Kenator Hitchcock, was last week re elected to the Senate over Bryan's most determined opposition. Furthermore, Keith Neville, an unknown, unheard of young man from the western part of the state, was picked up by Hitchcock and thrown at the heads of the Uryans, defeating Charles W. Bryan for the Democratic nomination for Govern or and was afterward elected Governor over the opposition of both William J. and C. W. Bryan and all their friends. Mr. Bryan's first defeat of the year was when Nebraska Democrats refused to send him as a delegate to the Dem ocratic National Convention. This wa. laid at the door of the Hitchcock or ganization. The same organization de feated Bryan's brother for the nomina tion for Governor. "The Hitchcock organization nomi nated them; now let the Hitchcock or ganization elect them," the Bryans Bald. The Hitchcock organization elected Hitchcock, Neville and the entire state ticket, although the Bryans and their friends opposed the ticket at every .turn. 3'ebraftlca Wholly Democratic. For the first time, Nebraska is now Really Democratic, 'and that result was achieved with the Bryans fighting the Democratic ticket. The Governor and all the state officers are Democrats, the Senator elected this year is a Dem ocrat and the electoral vote of the state was given to Wilson. Bryan accused Senator Hitchcock of falling to deliver a message sent Ne braska Democrats by President Wilson to the effect that the President wished Bryan elected a delegate to the Na tional convention. After the charge was made President Wilson wrote a letter and Indorsed Hitchcock. Also after the charge was made the Democrats of the state also Indorsed Hitchcock by electing him over Bryan's strong opposition. Mr. Bryan also told Nebraska that Senator Hitchcock was the leader of the brew ery forces in the state, but that charge only resulted in an Increased vote for the Senator. Even Nebraska Prohibitionists have turned against Mr. Bryan. The "drys" are saying that his championing of prohibition won them practically no votes in this state. They point to the few votes Mr. Bryan was able to con trol In his fight against Senator Hitch cock and Governor Neville and say that if he could not rally sufficient followers among the "drys" to defeat the two candidates, his influence was practically nothing in tb,e fight for Btate-wide prohibition. 'Lectures Will Continue. Mr. Bryan will not retire from the Chautauqua platform, even If he does leave neorasKa. Aiinougn the year iit nas Deen disastrous to him in poli tics, from his p ohibition lectures on the Chautauqua circuic he has had a splendid Income. His time next year is eaia to do already completely filled. Mr. Bryan is leaving Nebraska wealthy man. He came here more tnan 2b years ago poor, He has not engaged In farm ing, manufacturing or trading. He has talked. He captured and canital lzed the revolt in the Democratic party and talked a fortune out of it. Now he is trying to capture the prohibition movement. How "dead" Mr. Bryan is In Nebraska Democratic circles is shown by the fact that last week Nebraska Democrats held a ratification banquet at Lincoln. Six hundred leading Democrats from all parts of the state were In the ban cuet hall. Eight hundred more tried to Bet in and could not do so. Neither of the Bryans was present. They were not Invited.

Four mem bers of the Council were for it Mayor Albee and Commissioners Bigelow, Dieck and Baker. Mr. Daly Revolts. But, alas! It did not meet Mr. Daly's views and he revolted. He Introduced an ordinance to oust the franchise Dlan that four months before he had said was the only way the jitney could be properly negulated. He failed to get this ordinance through, for the other four members of the Council believed what he had said four months before. So with the aid of the attorneys of the Jitney Drivers' Union he delved into the innards of the taxicab ordi nance and framed a scheme whereby the Council quartet could be overrid den. The route scheme was devised and O. K.'d by Mr. Daly. The scheme was not in any way comparable with the intent of the taxicab ordinance, but it answered the purpose it allowed the jitneys to evade the law. And carrying Mr. Daly's official sanction, it carried legal weight. New "Standard" Is Fixed. The scheme was possible by a wide stretch of the provisions of the taxi cab law, which provide for the estab lishment of taxicab zones, in which the driver shall specify his rates. There was a standard system of zones before the Jitneys got up against it, but this did not hinder the establishment of another "standard" of zones. And that was what was done. The original zones In Mr. Daly's taxicab ordinance were circular and the fare was fixed on a basis of the distance traveled. The new zone system creates "zones" along the lines operated over by the Jitneys. Driver Is finding a new source of oper ating expense. Refusal of the driver to make the home deliveries is a violation of the taxicab ordinance. The taxicab ordinance requires all drivers to be supplied with clocks for use in making runs on the hourly basis. They bought clocks yesterday and put them In their cars. It was ruled at first that these had to be tested by the City Sealer of Weights and Measures to determine their accuracy. Dater, however, it was ruled that they are subject to test by the sealer but do not have to be tested before being used. JITXECIt ARRESTED AS TEST Whether Franchise Ordinance Is Ef fective to Be Decided Today. A. J. Lee, operator of a Jitney under the guise of a taxicab, was arrested late yesterday by City Detective Tiche nor and Patrolman Whitehead and a charge of operating a vehicle without a franchise was placed against him. He was released on his own recognizance. The case will come up for trial to day before Municipal Judge Langguth and will be made a test case to de termine whether the Jitney men will be permitted to evade the ordinance, requiring them to have franchises, by operating as taxicabs. The arrest of L-ee followed closely the release of C. L. Irish, who was ar rested at noon yesterday by City De tective John Maloney and Patrolman Rudolph on a charge of violating the section of the taxicab ordinance requir ing that taxicabs be equipped with odometers, taximeters or other device for measuring distance, in addition to a device for measuring time. When Irish was taken before Munic ipal Judge Langguth. Deputy District City Attorney Stadter expressed the belief that the city had no case in that the driver's machine was equipped with a speedometer which registered the distance traveled. He said that in his opinion such a speedometer would come under the provisions of the ordi nance requiring "some other device for measuring distance." Detective John Maloney. one of the arresting officers, testified that the machine was equipped with c speedometer which would measure dls tance. Arthur I. Moulton. attorney repre senting the Jitney men, said that they had been careful to equip their ma chines with speedometers. He said that they had also taken up with the office of the sealer of weights and measures the question of having the speedome ters tested as provided by ordinance. "We have done this even though, op erating as we do, there is little need for an instrument for measuring distance he Bald. In dismissing the driver. Judge Lang guth expressed the belief that the driver was complying with the ordi nance, since testimony Bhowed-he had both a device for measuring distance and also one for measuring time in his car. The Judge said that if those in struments were accurate that was all that was required. a. A. Thielke, president of the Jitney Drivers' Union, called all the drivers off their runs while the case was being tried. The courtroom was filled with drivers, who took a close Interest in proceedings. The two arrests yesterday were made on orders from Chief of Police John Clark. Chief Clark said he had or dered the arrests that a test of the ordinances might be made.

WILLAMINA VOTES BONDS Outstanding Debts for Street provements Will Be Met. William Gadsby Declares $3346.45 Advanced by Sirs. Jennie Cordano Probably Does Xot Cover the Amount Employes Stole. Extortion of $334 6.45 is charged against the firm of William Gadsby & Sons by Mrs. Jennie Cordano in a com plaint filed in the Circuit Court yes terday, which asserts that this amount was demanded from her to save from prosecution her nephew, John Cordano, and two otherf employes of the furni ture store, G. H. - Bowman and Fred Thiele, who were caught in thefts. The young men have admitted steal ing rugs and other articles from the furniture firm in 1915, but have de clared that the things taken would not total $300 in value, asserts Attorney Frank T. Collier, who represents Mrs. Cordano. Inventories showed the losses were at least $3346.45, and probably more, said William Gadsby. last night. Lomh Cover "Three Years, He Says. "The thefts extended over a period of three years, before finally detected." said Mr. Gadsby. "When the young men were found out young Cordano asked permission to write to his aunt, saying she would pay for the losses. We preferred not to prosecute if the losses were made good, and consented. "We took stock and found heavy shortages, amounting to the sum asked. There probably was more taken, but the thefts had extended over so long a time that all could not be checked up. There was no compulsion about the payment." The young men were detained by operatives of the Plnkerton Detective Agency September 29, 1915, who gave them the alternative of making good the losses or going to the penitentiary. recites the complaint. House Mortgaged for Loan. Mrs. Cordano was in California at the time. John Cordano is a favorite nephew and has been as a son to her. She came to Portland October 9. 1915, and agreed to pay the alleged shortage, taking a note for $800 from Bowman and one for $600 from Thiele. Mrs. Cordano had to borrow the money to pay the furniture firm and then had to mortgage her home at 88 West Park street to pay back the loan, it is asserted. She now maintains she was imposed upon, as she believes the thefts were minor ones, and desires her money returned. WILLAMINA. Or.. Nov. 20. (Spe cial.)
