After the meeting, in speaking OF
the resolution. Mr.. Sparks said he had
no intention to present any regula-
tons to debar the jltneys from the
streets or interfere any with their
operation, but his idea was merely 10
amply protest the public against ac-
cident; in other words, to make some
body responsible for accidents and
possible deaths that may occur
through the operation of the iitneys.
Ho stated that he had not pre-
pared the resolution as yet, and lid
not know just what it would contain.
He thought that he would be guided
by what was being done in other
cities TO regulate the jitneys He
said II was now possible for any per-
son TO buy a $3.50 car and start in

Eot know that any one in the business

wanted to know what redress there
would be if an irresponsible person
should run down and kill some ona

Mr.. Sparks said that the Street and
Sewer Department could not stipu-
late license for the cars as this rests
with Council. but the board could
recommend to Council a reasonable
license fee. but would not say this
would be done. He said that in
some cities the jitney operators were

PIEPENBRINK WILL
 BE GIVEN FREEDOM
America Scores Point in Fight to Pro- tect Naturalized Citizens Held
 by Belligerents

Washington, April s.--An important point has been scored by the American government in the negotiations that have been in progress with beligerent nations during the European war for the purpose of securing the protection of naturelized American citizens. It was learned today that the French and Brit ish governments have joined in con- sentng to release August Piepenbrinlx, a steward on the American steamship Windber, who was taken off by the French cruiser Condo on November Is when the ship was two days from Colon en route to New York.
 Piepenbrink, who was born in Ger many, filed a declaration of his inten ton to become an American citizen in Seattle, Wash, in 1910.
 In defending the action of the com mander of the Condo, the French gov ernment set up a claim that the stew ard had not completed his naturalization and therefore was German subject, a naval reservist and properly subject to arrest. PiepenbrinlS was turned over to the British military authorities at Kingston, Jamaica, who also refused to deliver him up on the same grounds. The state department asked for the prisoners release, insisting that a sail or on an American vessel who has de- clared his intention of becoming a citi- zen and remains on the vessel under the laws of the United States is considered as having acquired full citizenship. Moreover the department held that the sailors removal even though he were not a citizen was without Justification under the general rules of international law, in which the Confederate commits sioners, Mason and Slidell having been taken from a British merchantmen by federal cruiser, the United States re- leased the prisoners and made amends to Great Britain.

By ELLIS C. HOT.LUMS

W neNt.
 These Bessemer boys certainly are hum- merss and Handley Ward. whose picture is in the trench to the right, is in the Earl Laird class. Handley has won one of those season tickets to Redwood and will be on hand for almost every game If not all of them. Before the hegin- ming of the contest he had a compara lively small route He has considerably more than doubled the number of sub scribers on it and so<large did 1t be- come that it was necessary to divide the route, giving portion of it to another boy
 The alleged hunorists of the stage can have their filings at Bessemer. but if the citizenship of Bessemer has half the spirit and business aggressiveness of these Age Herald carriers, Chicago had best look to it's laurels. Bessemer is going after them, sure.
 Handley Is one of the best types of boys to be found anywhere. His countenance is deceiving. When in repose his eyes have rather a sleepy look. But his ac- tions and quickness to grasp things belle the eyes He did not put in very much work In making his route so large that 1t requires two boys to carry it. either. He used his head and approached pros pective subscribers in the right way.
 He is polite and knows that the best way to get anything is to ask for 1t courteously. He has learned not to take no for an answer until all of his points have been driven home. And there's a world of such in The Age Herald
 He said when he went after subscrip- ton he just asked for it." Well, he does. That's all any boy can do. But, there are so many different ways to ask for it. He evidently has found the right way. as his record bears eloquent testi- mony of success.
