MAYOR Johnson
SCHEME THWARTEO


CLEVELAND, O., August 4.-The
Schmidt ordinance, providing for the
grant of a franchise to Herman
Schmidt, insuring Scent fares on a
part of the city street car lines, was
9efeated at a referendum election
here today, by a majority of $685..
The total vote was 30,944 to 1926.
The Schmidt ordinance was fos-
tered by Mayor Tom Johnson. The
Campaign which has waged for the
last two months has been particular
ly bitter.
Mayor Johnson, municipal office
holders and others held tent meeu-
ings and urged the granting of the
franchise.
A committee of one hundred bust
ness men opposed it.
Thousands of people crowded the
streets to hear the returns. When the
result was announced automobile
horns footed, COW bells were rung,
whistles were blown and throngs o.
people paraded the streets shouting
Mayor Johnson received the returns
at his office, guarded by several po'
licemen. An attempt will now be
made to obtain the settlement of the
car fight along the line proposed by
Federal Judge Taylor. His plan pro
vides first for a revaluation of the
entire street car property by com
mittee of unbiased citizens. He would
then MT into force a Scent fare plan,
charging 1 cent for a transfer In
case this plan failed to pay per
cent dividend on the valuation set by
the committee, the price of the fare
might be raised in seven tickets for
25 cents.
