The proposed jitney bus service to
be inaugurated in this city was dis
cussed by members of the committee
on public transportation of the Board
Of Trade at a meeting held yesterday
afternoon. Numerous suggestions con-
cerning the proposed service were
made. but no definite action was taken
because of the inability Of Barry
BuIkley, one Of the promoters Of the
jItney bus plan. to attend the meeting
and give hts views. Mr.. Bulkley has
been asked to attend meeting Of the
committee to be held at 4:15 o'clock
next Friday afternoon in the rooms Of
the board

intendent OF transportation of the

q, S. Marshal at San Juan, P. B.,
Takes Possession of the

The German merchantmen Odenwald.
held under the guns of the fortifica-
tions of San Juan, Porto Rico, after at
tempting to leave port without clear
ance papers, is now in the possession
OF the United States marshal at San
Juan.
]. Henri Brown, federal attorney at
San Juan, has 1ibeled the vessel IN the
federal court there, and the court di-
rected the seizure of the ship. pending
adjudication of the case. Forfeiture of
the vessel, under the recent law OF
Congress, putting extraordinary pow
ers in the hands of the President for
enforcement of neutrality. is in con-
temptation as the object Of the govern
ment suit.
This Information was received at the
Department of Justice today in q ca
bleeram from Attorney Brown to the
Attorney General No criminal prose-
cution against the master of the mer-
chairman has yet been decided upon.
There is natural presumption
that the Odenwald. in attempting
to leave port in the face ETAtf-
to leave port in violation of.
United States laws. was acting on the
instructions Of some high authority.
Another presumption Is that her act
indicates the Improperly OF her cargo.

should ask me to testify TO the dam-
