at work devising a scheme to regu-
late' the jitneys and jauto buses?, the

.regulating and have achieved consid
erable success thos far
City Attorney L,a Itoche is now re
drafting: the 'Ordinance aimed tQ regu
late the new transportation service
and expects to have it in shape for
preliminary action by tiie city council
Wednesday. Owing to- the provision
prohibiting: the Jitneys and buses
from operation on Washington and
Morrison streets' between Third and
Broadway, -and requiring them to , op
erate on permanent . routes and paint
route signs On the cars, considerable
. opposition 4s expected to the. measure.
Referendum May Result. -
.The owners Bay t hat - if these pro
visions of the ordinance are not elim
inated tliey will seek to invoke .the
referendum and hold the ordinance up
until the June election. They say
that the provision eliminating them
-from the two busy streets discrimi
nates in favor of the street car com
pany. Commissioner Daly is also opposing
this provision and : says ;that if the
machines are to be barred from these
two streets all automobiles should be
prohibited from stopping within the
district diiTlng- the day.
i The Auto Transit Welfare society,
an organization of about 350 jitney
and biiH owners and ' drivers, is doing
everything- possible to eliminate the
: incompetent drivers and those not of
good niora.1 character. Already a coni-
tnittie has been appointed to Investi
gate reckless drivers and in each case
found will -swear . out warrants for
the arrests.
This organisation" has cprds printed
designating the routings but machines
are allowed to change their routes at
any tlnx-Vn application to tho traffic

In the case of the Portland Aute

individual owners, regular routes are
maintained and the machines run on

Kiven by members of the association.
"It is said that the cost of operating
these machines ranges from $20 to $25
a day, while the average day's receipts
lall far below this. , Members of the
association are now working out a plan
to revise the service and machines that
, t-he expenses may 9 tie cut down.
..- In most of these machines at ' least
five men are reituired to -handle th-
passengers and keep the cars in shape.
Four men, two drivers and two con
ductors, work on different shifts dur-
;. lug the day and one mechanician is
kept busy going over the machine at
night wtyile the cars are out of ser

WETS DEi

T
AGAINST DRYS
Forces
Will Attack Limitation
Clause, According to Anti
Saioon League Leader. .
That
the lihuor mns have practically
called ff thlair plans for invoking tne
referendum against the Oregon prohi
bition jaw id the information received
by K.. ! ik Hutton, jsuperintendent of
the Anii-iSalcjon league. He says he is
advised! hatjthe wets have decided on
different; tadtics. j i
"My jniorniiation is to tne eriect uiat
lt,iiiin!r -mian will iinvnJv& the nrohi-
bition law in ias many suits as possible,
hoping
thereby to j arouse sentiment
it-! t ksui Hnttnn "Then
at tho! general election in jam iney
will submit a measure to repeal both
the prohibition law ana me promoiuuu
aniendih4nt."
One of thei provisions which he saia
the wets were intending to attack is
the limitation or tne amount or liquor
that ma bei shipped in to one person
in four jweeks. This limit is two
quarts of spirituous liquors and 24
quarts i of malt liquor. The basis of
the fight, he said, will be the decision
of the I supreme court of Oklahoma in
the caise of! Oklahoma vs. Wilson,
wherein the court held that the state
cannotj prevent a man receiving any
amount of liquor. The point has never
been rijiled onTby the United States su
preme icourt
The wets are saidi also to appreciate,
the fact that the referendum on the
prohibition law would not stave off
the dry constitutional amendment go
ing lnljo! effect, and the benefits of a
referendum iwould be entirely for li
quor deailersi outside of the state as it
would Igive them a freer hand in ship
ping liquor tnto ,the state.
iir. 'Hutton said! that he was ia
formeU that the 'wets" are waging
their campaign now to impress the
"drys"! with! the calamitous results
they predict will follow prohibition.
He says that -wet"; bosses are dis
charging 'dry" workmen on various
jobs, lie said the f'wets" are boycot
ting stores whosej proprietors are
known to be' "dry." j !-
Taylor "Insurgents"
To Decide Course
i ;
Usual Sunday Services Win Be Held
in Front jot Third Street Church;
Wlli Consider Oatens' Euling.
Dissatisfied with the decision of
Judge' 3atetas in the First Methodist
Episcopal church controversy, mem
bers pf the -insurgent" faction will
hold their usual Sunday service in
front M the edifice at Third and Tay
lor streets this morning and will
probably decided on! a future course
of action at the same time.
It is ! highly t probable that the. de
cision wil be appealed to the supreme
court, as tne "insurgents" feel that
the evidencle in the case' warranted
the giving of an injunction compell
ing the! "refeular" faction to open the
old Tiaylor street building.
Inasmuch as Judge Gatens . had ex
pressed! it as -his opinion that, the
property w4s held in trust for church
purposes they believe- he should have
made! his decision to this effect.
A lrge njurhber of the "insurgents"
have made it understood that they
are not through with the fight for
posession of the church property.
