.Klrkpatrick to Commissioner Dieck
and are to be used by the, city commis

for jitneys and auto buses. Accord
ing to Klrkpatrick, the Jitneys and
auto buses have increased traffic over
the bridges and the streets of the busi
ness section considerably since they
were put In operation.
. Klrkpatrick says that the Jitney
and buses passing Fifth9 and Wash
ington streets, the busiest intersection
of the city, have caused an increase in
traffic of 236 per cent since a traffic
survey, was made In 114.
He, says that .the influx of jitneys
and buses on transrlver routes causes
a congestion through the west side
business district which he considers
serious.
The report shows that on the Broad
way bridge the Jitneys and buses hav
caused a 29 per cent Increase in . traf
fic There are 27 Jitneys and one bun
operating over this bridge. On the O
W. R. & N. bridge there Is a 30 per
cent increase n . traffic,, there tielng
61 Jitneys and eight buses operating.
. Five Jitneys and two buses operate
on the Burnalde street bridge, causing
an increase of 9 per cent in traffic
conditions. On the Morrison street
bridge 6 machines are In operation,
causing an increase of 21 per cent, and
on ine j-tawtnorne oriage mere are it
-jitneys and eight buses in operation
which have caused an increase in
'traffic of 40 per cent.
Klrkpatrick estimates that the, Jit

SOLDIER HAS SCORES OF
' ' THRILLING EXPERIENCES
One Exploding Shell Tears a
Big Hole in-Ground, Kill
" ing All Near, Writes.
August Butgerut. who for five years
until November a year ago worked at
the Southern Pacific frelghthouse here,
is In the midst of the battles between
the German and Russian forces in Rus
sian Poland? For weeks he has ben
in the trenches in Poland and East
Prussia and in a letter to a friend,
John Hlcken, who lives at the New
Northwestern hotel, he relates some of
his experiences. !
The letter, was written in sections,
the first on January 23 and the second
on January ti. tbe Interim having been
spent on guard in the trenches. I By
October 18 he had participated in seven
violent battles and several times had
hairbreadth escapes from death. One
time a bomb exploded within a few
feet of him and killed his comrades to
the left and right. Butgerut and three
others fell into the large hole torn by
the bomb t or shell and were nearly
burled alive. To this, however, he at
tributes their escape from death. , The
ground all around him was literally
plowed up by bullets and shells land
often It would fall into the trenches
so thick and fast that they had to dig
themselves out.
Speaking of the 'exploding shell, he
writes: "Within five steps of me a
cannon shell exploded and killed nearly
all. It made a hole two meters deep
and three meters in diameter." j
In these same battles he says he
saw trenches filled with Russian: sol
diers dead and wounded, so that losses
were heavy on both sides. i
Butgerut was a native of East Prus
sia, In the vicinity of Konigaberg, and
left here to visit his relatives. : The
war broke out and he enlisted In com
pany 2, regiment 4 of the Landwehr.
Referring to his home townj he
writes that on two occasions it was in
the hands of the Russians. The first
time the Germans withdrew for strate-

gic reasons. Tha Russians followed
them and treated the German inhabi
tants with considerable consideration
and paid for everything that they took
for their own use. , The second time, a
couple of months later, however, he
says their behavior was different.
Women, he declares, were outraged and
civilian' men were made tbe victims
of all kinds of atrocities. '
'This may be unbelievable," he com
ments, "but I have seen ,it with my
own ayes. When we '.droVe the Rus
sians out of one town they took with
them a number of women into the
neighboring forests. We pursued them
and rescued tha. women they had oeen
forced to leave behind In their haste to
escape."

features 'which should be eliminated.
Issues Defy to City.
Defying them to do their worst,
Mark chlussel, agent for building in
South Portland ordered torn down by
the council, in a letter to the council
this morning, says that If the commis
sioners attempt to remove the struc
ture without due process of law. "-e
will hold each and all of them person
ally responsible. In the letter he flat
ly refuses to comply with the order
and. defies the commissioners. j
No Entrance to Dock Site.
Owing to the fact that there Is no
entrance to the street of property
which tbe city proposes to purchase
from the O-W. R. & N. company in
Lower Albina for a site for the berth
of the fireboat George H. Williams,
action on the ordinance appropriating

investigation Is made to determine
whether or not a right of way to the
street may be secured.

"Washington, March jS. The supreme
court all Its members concurring, yes
terday Issued an Injunction suspending
the operation of the jNew York state
alien labor law and granted writs of
error for a review of; the decision by
the New York state court of appeals
which held the law constitutional in a
decision handed down February 26.
.Yesterday's injunction la effective
until the supreme court of the United
States reaches a final decision. Pub
lie service contracts amount to nearly
1147,000,000 in New York city alone are
affected by tho law. jit is expected a
motion, will be made immediately to
have tha court advance the case to an
early hearing and it is deemed prob
able that the court will hear at the
same time the appeal of tbe state of
Arizona from the decision of the Ali
sons federal district court which held
the recently enacted alien labor law
in that state unconstitutional.
The' Arizona law reads that it Is
unlawful for any corporation to have
less than 89 per cent; of its employes
native or natnralised citlsena.
Much interest attaches to both cases,
in view of the diplomatic Issues, said
to be Involved, it being argued that
many provisions of tha law impose
such limitations on the rights ot aliens
as to contravene some of the American
treaties with foreign nations.
Protests have been filed by the Ital
ian ambassador. Count de Cellere, that
the law violates Italian .treaty rights,
and by Great Britain. Although no
formal protest had been made by Ja
pan, it is understood tho Japanese am
bassador is watching developments
with great Interest.
Writs of error granted yesterday
by the supreme court call for areview
of two suits that of William E. Helm,
who sought to restrain the public serv
ice commission, first department, of
New York, from declaring forfeited
contracts calling for; construction of
subways in New York city because of
the employment of aliens; and that
brought by, the state of New York
against Charles Crane for violating
tha law.
Opposition to the New York statute
is made on the ground that it is un
constitutional, it being alleged that it
violates the provision "that no mem
ber of this state shall be disfranchised
or deprived of any of the rights or
privileges secured to any citizen there
of, unless by law of (the land or Judg
ment of bis peers," and that , "no per
son shall be deprived of life, liberty
or happiness without due proceis of
law." It is also contended that the
law is unconstitutional in that it is
made to apply to oontracts already
in existence at the time of its enact
ment, and that it makes acts . penal
which are otherwise harmless.
