OF JITNEY IS PLEA Suburban Organization Cele brates Tenth Anniversary. JITNEY BUSSES Alberta Residents Petition Court to Protect 'Bus Driv ers From Carmen. ACTIVITIES ARE RELATED 12 ND PERSEGUTON SERVICE OF AUTOS PRAISED Chairman of Safely First Commls fion Answers Tbat Traffic Laws Mast Be Enforced Against Both ' Automobiles and Cars. Protesting against what they declare to be unfair discrimination against the Jitney buses, three score residents of Alberta signed a petition which was presented to Municipal Judge Stevenson yesterday asking that "persecution" of the bus drivers cease. "It is true that most of the com plaints against reckless driving; have been made by streetcar men. asserted Judge Stevenson, "but it is because they are more in a position to know when violations occur. Many more thousands of people ride in the cars than in the jitneys and their safety must De in sured. "The driver of an automobile who needs past a streetcar that Is discharg ing passengers endangers the lives of the passengers and deserves to De iinea whether he Is driving a private car or one engaged in passenger traffic. By far the greater number of complaints are made against drivers of private machine." All Most Obey Laws, la Answer. Harry P. Coffin, chairman of the Safety First Commission, warmly de nied that. In bis prosecution of traf fic offenders, he was interested to the advantage or disadvantage of the streetcar company. "I intend to see that the traffic laws are observed, and my interest ends there." he said. The petition, which was presented by Mrs. Josephine Sharp, of -the Alberta Push Club, read as follows: "We. the undersigned residents of Al berta district, petition your honorable court in the matter of the wholesale arrests of the dilvers of the motor buses, who are giving us a safe and comfortable service. Thre are four buses that serve this district, and four drivers have been arrested. The street car company operated with Impunity at any speed and at and during the time the drivers were being arrested (bus drivers). Persecution by Carmen Cited. The car service was such that one car in particular could not make the tarn at Alberta and Union avenues. much to the discomfort and mental an guish of the passengers. Has there been an investigation by the Police Department? Has there been an ar rest? "It is common knowledge that the streetcars openly have harassed and persecuted the motor buses and ob structed their passing. On the other hand, the motor buses have attended to their own business. "Therefore, we petition your honora ble court to protect the bus drivers, who, we believe, are' doing only their God-given right, and protection of the laws of our land Is duo them." J. E. Wendle. manager of the Inter state Passenger Automobile Service Company and the first local promoter of the jitney, was fined Jo yesterday for passing between a streetcar and the curb, in violation or the traffic ordr nance. ljIg - - if I A rL V 1 y: V- - V-' I , ' N 4t: f f ' .

The Canadian Northern Railway is now completed from. Lake Superior to the Pacific-Coast. The last rail was laid at noon today at Basque, a village on the North Thompson RA'or. 200 miles ' east of Vancouver. It will require un til April 15 to ballast the line in shape for trains and the official ceremony of driving1 the golden spike prob ably will occur about May 1. It may . be mid-Summer before a regular through service is begun. The Canadian Northern enters Brit ish Columbia through the Yellowhead Pass, where for many miles it paral lels the Grand Trunk Pacific, for both of the railways leave Edmonton and thence strike west toward the Pacific. From the. summit of the Rockies the line runs south along tbe valley of the Thompson River until it meets the Canadian Pacific line at Kamloops, 250 miles east of Vancouver. Thence to Vancouver the" Canadian Northern runs Along the Fraser on the opposite bank : from the Canadian Pacific. The new : road has the easiest grade of any trans- I continental line. From Vancouver to I Kdmonton the heaviest grade Is four tenths of 1 per cent. T IS the human appeal, even more I than the sensuous beauty of a voice, or the gift of interpretative genius, that wins a Southern audience, and it is this quality of Alma Gluck's voice that has brought her such ovations in the South, whenever she appears there. Combined with her wonderful "bel canto," the purest since Melba and Sem brich were in their prime, her youth and beauty, with this crowning quality of appeal, have brought her ovations that have made her a popular idol in Southern cities. One such instance may be cited. Not long ago, the Opera Festival As sociation of Atlanta, where the Metro politan Opera Company of New Tork annually fills an engagement at the close of the New York season, made a special request that Madame Gluck should sing the role of Gilda in "Rigo letto," with Caruso as the Duke. The lovely soprano shared in the triumphs with the celebrated tenor, and the so cial elect of the South, which j sembles in the Georgia metropolis for opera season there, raved over the wondrous beauty of the Gluck voice and her indefinable charm as the un happy daughter of the Court Jester. The opera public, somehow, has ad mired Madame Gluck so greatly in this beautiful part, that she has become identified with. it. When Tito Ruffo, the renowned Ital ian baritone, made his American debut in Philadelphia, two years ago, a; "Rigoletto," Andreas Dippel, impres ario then of the Philadelphia-Chicago Company, especially engaged Madame Gluck to appear as Gilda. and the gifted soprano on that occasion divided hon ors with the great baritone. . On February 11 this captivating so prano will be heard in Portland in joint recital with Efrem Zimbalist the young Russian genius of the violin appearing at the Heilig under direction of Steers & Coman a most unusual combination, for elsewhere the two stars have been appearing separately.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23. State De partment officials expressed the hope today that Congress would promptly pass a bill Introduced by Representa tive Kahn, of California, or a simi lar measure, which would "prohibit the importation into the United States of any goods, wares or merchandise the property of Americans and other foreigners in Mexico, which have been contiscated by Mexican authorities." It was pointed out that such a meas ure would prevent most of the conns cations from foreigners of ootton, cop per, gold and silver bullion, cattle, horses, hides, rubber and so forth, be cause it would take away the market in which the Mexicans have been sell ing these articles ana securing Ameri can gold to continue their campaigns. While there were no definite figures to show exactly what these coniisca tions from Americans, Spaniards and other foreigners have amounted to, it was declared that they have mounted up into the millions, possibly (100,00V, 000 or more. ant editors.
