ZONE REVISION FOR

NEW YORK BARITONE TO SING
FOR APOLLO CLUB TONIGHT
Earl Cartwright, Recent Bridegroom, Is Here With Mrs. Cartwright on
Visit Recounts Interesting Incidents.
Tt is expected the four members of
the City Council Mayor Albee and Com
missioners Bigelow, Baker and Dieck
will land on Commissioner Daly this
morning at a special Council meeting
and require him to take back for re
vision the- "zone" system by which he
lias enabled the jitneys to evade serv
ice and safety regulations insisted on
by the Council four.
The result of such action may be
that the Jitney union once more will
have to stop running1 cars. While
nothing has been said by the Commis
sioners as to their course, the over
throw of the Daly scheme appears to
lie the logical move. The only other
move would be for the Council to sub
mit meekly to Mr. Daly's mandate that
the Jitneys shall escape regulation and
run scot-free in spite of the fact that
every other Council member insists
upon regulation.
Revision Order Expected.
The action expected from the Council
Is an order to Mr. Daly to revise the
"zones" so that all parts of the city
will get service on equal' terms, instead
of the "zones" being laid out merely
to take in the old jitney runs along
etreetcar lines. It is expected the
Council's position will be that if jitneys
are to be taxicabs they must be taxi
cabs in the true meaning of the word,
and not ' taxicabs" merely to evade the
law.
In case the Council cancels the Daly
zone scheme the question will arise as
to whether or not the jitney can operate
while a new system is being worked
out. The general supposition is that
it cannot, because the taxicab ordi
nance under which the jitney has been
rhielded for the last 10 days provides
that no certificate shall be issued to a
driver until his zone plan is approved.
After it has been approved any person
aggrieved has a right to appeal to the
Council for a revision of the zones.
Taxicab Protest Before Council.
That is how the present case comes
before the Council today. Legitimate
taxicab companies have protested
against the jitney zone system as de
vised, and it is, therefore, up to the
Council either to approve or disap
prove of the zones as adopted by Mr.
Daly.
Inasmuch as Commissioner Daly has
admitted to the Council that the pur
pose of the zone system is solely to!
allow the jitneys to operate in spite
of the Council's mandate that they shall
not operate until they accept a fran
chise, it is expected the Council will
certainly rebuke Mr. Daly at least to
the extent of forcing him to change
the zones. It is probable the Council's
order will be not only to change the
zones, but to change them so that
every part of the city will have ad
vantage of the taxicab-Jitney service
at equal proportionate rates, instead of
the 5-cent fare being applied only to
certain streets and districts, leaving
the rest of the city to be served on
an hourly basis of no less than $1.25
an hour.
Mr. Daly probably will have before
the Council today a rough draft of a
franchise which he proposes to grive
to the Jitneys. Just what it will pro
vide has not been made public. It is
expected the majority of the Council
will stand firm for the imposition of
at least the most important terms in
sisted on in the original proposed
franchise grant, the main terms of
, which were a bond of $400 for each
machine, a system of transfers, slight
bridge tolls and a regular service to
well-built-up sections not now served
by the jitneys.
ZOXE CARD NOT COPYRIGHTED
Threat of Action, However, Fright
ens Off Independent Drivers.
The jitney zone card now used by
members of the Jitney Drivers' Union
will not be copyrighted, according to a
statement made yesterday by A. A.
Thielke, president of the union. An
nouncement that the card had been
copyrighted was made last Saturday by
Mr. Thielke, who had advised Jitney
Inspector Gill of this action.
The copyright idea has been used
successfully, however, in. scaring out
the non-union drivers and has accom
plished the purpose as well as if the
copyright had been obtained. Mr.
Thielke passed the word along to the
non-union Jitneys that the cards were
copyright and were the property of the
Jitney Drivers" Union and a number of
; them either dropped out of the busi
- ness or Joined the union to avert get
ting into trouble by trying to use the
. official cards.
Several non-union drivers had blue
prints made of the new zone system
and took them to Jitney Inspector Gill,
in Commissioner Daly's office. Mr. Gill
said the cards should be pasted on
cardboard and presented in proper
: form. He cautioned the drivers that
A Mr. Thielke claimed a copyright on the
cards and suggested that the blueprint
drivers look into the legal phase of the
. situation before filing the cards.
. The drivers went out and did as ad-
I vised and were informed that the copy
right existed even though notice of i
did not appear on the zone cards.
. There appeared in one corner of the
sign the words. "Property of Local 163.
The non-union men got frightened at
the prospects. Two of them joined the
Jitney Drivers' Union for $25 each and
were given cards, and the others quit
the business.

he would be the terror to the opposing

At the present moment, however,
young Mr. Cartwright, of Indiana, is
not only a very peaceful person but a
blushing bridegroom. He was married
recently to his former vocal pupil.
Miss Ethel Fredericks, of Boston, Mass.
Mr. and Mrs. Cartwright are at' the
Nortonia Hotel, visiting Mr. and Mrs.
Harry A. Hogue. Mr. Cartwright is
baritone soloist tonight at the Eleventh-Street
Theater for the Apollo
Club male chorus, in high-class con
cert. Nor is that all. Mr. Cartwright dis
guises the fact that he is a business
man who is, well, comfortably well off.
He and his father own blocks of shares

Indiana.
MnsrinK 9lade Secondary.
There are occasions when Mr. Cart
wright finds it beneficial to forget that
he is a singer one of the prominent
in America. He met recently a young
man he knows in a town in the Middle
West, and was prevailed on to dine
with his newly-found chum. .
"Now, look here, Cartwright. no fool
ing." said his chum, "we'll have a talk
about the good music times we had in
Berlin. I live with my father. Here
is my card. Anybody will direct you
to our house. S'long."
Instead of the modest house he ex
pected to find, Mr. Cartwright faced a
big mansion. His chum said: "Father
hates all musicians. Pretend you are
a business man. Understand?"
"Leave it to me," said the singer.
The father turned out to be a stout,
large, impressive-looking, elderly-looking
man, who said to his guest:
Private Theater Concert Held.
"Glad to meet ye. Have a chair. So
you're one of my John's chums, eh?
Say, what's your business, young fel
low?" "My father and I are in the stone
business," said Cartwright. calmly.
"We operate five stone quarries in In
diana." (A true story.)
"Good," said the host, approvingly.
After dinner the host said: "Are you
musical. Do you play any instrument?"
"No. I sing a little."
"Humph," said the old man, with a
snort, "well, come with us to our prl

fellow, we have had a good business
talk, and you certainly know the stone
business, but if you are bluffing about
your singing we'll soon find out."
Cb urn's Father Is Won Over.
The private theater was found to be
a magnificent place, capable of con
taining 400 people. There was a su
perb piano and the piano accompani
ment was faultless. Mr. Cartwright
sang song after song, as he alone can
sing, and the old man cried at inter
vals. "Go to It, young fellow. Hit'er
again."
After a real song recital the host
said: "Mr. Cartwright, do you know
why you sing so well? Because you
are a business man, and not a pro
fessional singer. Music folks are
crazy. I know. Drat "em! I used to
be a baritone myself."
Mr. Cartwright has rung In concert
at Berlin, Germany: Boston, New York,
Chicago, San Francisco and other music
centers. He refused an offer to sing
with the Metropolitan Opera Company,
New York, as his parents objected.
They wanted him with them "at home
in Indiana."
