JTTNEYS OUT AGAIN
AS CLUB MACHINES
Drivers Do Business Once More
on Basis Designed to Foil
Councilmanic Ordinance

The Ttney is about TO be revived to
ply merrily on its way up and down
Broad street once again, unless some
method is found by the police to put the
Peoples Motor Club out of business.
Superintendent OF Police Robinson, who
has been advised by william J. Cooley,
attorney for the Police Department, that
the operation OF "jitneys" by the Peo-
Plies Motor Club, is purely an evasion
of the jItney ordinance, has asked CITY
Solicitor Ryan for an opinion In the mat
ter with view TO taking acuon aBanse

Superintendent Robinson declared that
should the City Solicitors opinion favor
police action, wholesale arrests Will toi-

method Of the jitneurs TO escape the pay
ment of a license fee and the hling OF
$500 bond. There are 80 jitneys running
on Broad street today under the CLUB
nlan natronized. according to the clubs
hooks. bv more than 1000 members"
The plan consists in the selling OF
membership card In the Peoples Motor
Club for 25 cents The member then Is
entitled 10 five rides on any OF the cluo
cars before his membership expires. The
tickets are not transferable, but may be
purchased from any driver OF car the
club hires"
According to Randolph the club is only
in its first stages. Neither the drivers
nor the public are familiar with 1t yet.
RIt when they do become so. Randolph
saws, there will be no limit to its sue
cess. He says the whole scheme came
TO him like a dream few days ago. He
has consulted a lawyer and been assured
that the scheme is legal so long as the
drivers refuse all nickel fares.

Won PAPEN DENIES HE
CALLED YANKEES IDIOTIC
German Military Attache Says His
Letter Was Misconstrued

German Embassy, said today that he did
not mean to apply the phrase "idiotic
Yankees" TO the people of the United
States. He explained that these two
words, found in letter carried by James
F. ]. Archibald, referred to the publish
ers of a New York newspaper.
"The letter which has caused so much
discussion was directed to my Wife"
said Won Papen. Frankly, I think that
the action in making public the letter of
a man to his wife is deuced bad form.
The British authorities when they found
the letters upon the person of Mr.. Archi-
bald, pounced upon those two words,
said Won Papen. Frankly, 1 think that
this trouble.
'They have published only an excerpt
of my letter. thus changing its meaning
entirely"

that the water being consumed in
various ways today from the natural
reservoirs down below the surface of
the land is larger than the amount
that flows in again from the surface,
and that ultimately the reserve will
give out.
To bear out his theory Mr. Scott
cites examples Of different artesian
wells on the island. One out on the
plains, which was dug in 1881, rose at
that time to height of "a feet above
sea level, but has now dropped down
to less than half that height Every.

gradually dropping, and tends to rise
only after hard winters rain

is that the districts are practically
