JTTNEYNEN PROPOSE
6RDES FOR QUARTER
Two Organizations Would Make
Concessions to Have Long
Haul Ordinance Beaten.

SIX 'jlt' rides for quarter are prom
ised the public by an official Of one Of the
several jitney organizations, should Coun.
CHS defeat the proposed ordinances to
regulate the jltney and taxlcab business
in Philadelphia, which, in their present
form, 1t is asserted would put many lit
neys out of business.
Many of the jitneymen believe that,
since so many persons have been up In
arms against the Rapid Transit Company
ever since 1t killed the six-for-a-quarter
strip tickets, they will be anxious to arouse
public opinion more and more against un-
fair legislation II they know that the
jitneys will add this new cheap ride prop
osition to the other arguments in their
favor.
G. S. Winner president Of the Jtney
Auto Service Company. made the an
nouncement of the proposed strip ticket
plan, and said his organization and the
South Philadelphia Jitney Association
would unite and try to give the public Il
square
These organizations are the chief OPP
ponents of the Philadelphia Jtney Asso-
citation and they are back of the "lndi-
vidual owners and operators meeting"
They oppose the proposed s250O bond and
SOO registration lee anu HdNe DteI u
chief opponents of Richard Costello. presI-
dent of the Jtney Association.
1t is generally rumored that Councils
will not pass the jitney ordinance as 1t
is drawn and that no ordinance will be
passed before the adjournment OF the city
lawmakers for the summer The owners
and operators are jubilant over the ru-
mors, but in the meantime are not per-
mitting any grass to grow under their
feet as they prepare for battle, The pc
titions in circulation against the proposed
heavy bond and registration fee and the
long haul for n nickel are being flashed
in the faces of thousands of riders and
very seldom does passenger refuse to
sign them. Those who refused, opera
tors say, excused themselves by explain
ing that persons in their families work
for the p. r. T."
George V. Young, secretary of the
Philadelphia Jitney Association, has is
sued a statement to the effect that Mr..
Costello and John w Fow, attorney for
the organization, would fight for what
the association members wanted, but
would have nothing to do with the bat
ties of those outside the fold OF the first
association. He said that If a S2500 bond
is required the association plans to buy
a blanket bond that viii protect the
members providing, OF course, that such
a requirement could be enforced and
would not be declared unconstitutional
o. unlawful,
It is proposed to have the ordinance
amended to remove the long-haul re-
quirement and so that 1t will not bar the
jltneys from streets traversed by trolley |
cars

HEROINE OF ROMANCE
TO OPEN ART STUDIO
Mrs. G. Randall Pennington,
Who Wed in Spite of Parents
Opposition, to Paint Portraits

Announcement that Mrs. c. Randall
Pennington, who until short time ago
was the beautiful Miss Marie Dallett,
daughter of Judge and Mrs. Morris Dali
lett, Will open a studio and continue her
work of portrait painting, with which she
was so taken up before her romantic
marriage adds but another note of in
terest to her story 1t shows that the
young woman will have her way in re-
gard to her career just as she was deter
mined to have 1t in regard to husband.
Miss Dallett, It viii be remembered. Is
the headstrong young person who in
sisted upon seeing and going with the
young man OF her choice, despite the most
implacable parental opposition. Randall
Pennington was not the choice of Judge
and Mrs, Dallett for their daughter, and
when during her debutante season the
swain became conspicuous for his atten-
tions to her the parents decided to nip
the romance in the bud
Pennington was forbidden the Dallett
home. But love laughed at lmperturbable
buffers and forbidding parents with the
same glee that 1t shows for locksmiths
The youthful bud met the man OF her
choice on the outside and Cuplds business
progressed amazingly.
And then an elopment was planned and
Pennington appeared one night under the
window OF his lady love after the manner
Of the ancient cavaliers. The caressing
honk Of an up-to-date motor was the only
modern touch But the irate Judge
thwarted their plans, and the young
lover spent the night in the station house
Because of the notoriety Miss Dallett
was taken away and for the time being
she seemed to forget her sweetheart and
concentrate all her interests In the art
work she so dearly loved. On her return,
however, her actions showed that her af-
fection had in no way abated. Finally,
when her determination became known,
majority OF her family consented TO
tho marriage and the ceremony was per-
formed In the presence OF the girls
mother and few other members of the
family.
"I have not given up a single thing by
my marriage" the girl said happily the
other day, but l have gained a lot My
husband and I have tastes in common.
There is nothing now to keep me from
my art work"
Mrs. Pennington believes that there Is a
big field for the portrait painter who will
do good work for reasonable prices, and
she win open her studio for
business In the fall.
