To go anywhere else the driver charges
on an hourly basis.
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

There is one phase of the new sys

Summer Home In JTortli Carolina,
AVinter Place In Florida, Busi
ness . 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.

JITNEYS STILL OPERATE
(Continued From Fret Page.)
the time for the Daly ordinance to go
Into effect, when the Council came out
with a franchise it considered fair to
the jitneys and to the city. 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.

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.
