SENATOR BARNES MAKES
JOKE OF UTNEY LAW
Would Include All Vehicles Except
WheeIbarrows and Baby Carriages.

A bill for regulation of jitneys was
on the calendar starred for action
in the senate at Hartford on Thurs
day, but was met with amendments
offered by Senators Barnes, Isbeu and
Salmon. The amendment of Senator
Barnes was written in a facetious vein
and caused roar when read but it
was ordered printed in the journal
The Barnes amendment was as fol-
lows:
Strike out all after the enacting
clause and insert in lieu thereof the
following:
Section l. Terms used in this
chapter shall be construed as follows,
unless other meaning is clearly ap-
parent from the language or context:
Jitney shall include all vehicles ex-
cept wheelbarrows and baby car
riages, furnishing comfortable trans
portation to a passenger who might
otherwise be privileged to stand up
in dirty street car for the sum of
one nickel. Robber shall include any
person taking a nickel which might
otherwise go to the Connecticut COM
pany; this shall not apply to Wall
street fnanciers, who take less than
Public shall mean the Connecticut
company.
Section 2. Every owner Of one or
more jitneys, before operating the
same upon the public highways of the
state, shall obtain from the attorneys
of the Connecticut company, other
wise known as the protector of the
public, permission so to do. Such
permission shall not be granted until
such owner has filed a bond in the
sum of 100000 and. under oath, shall
agree to turn over his entire gross
receipts to said Connecticut company
This act shall take effect upon its
first reading"
Senator Salmon offered several
amendments, one of which provided
that it should not be necessary for the
driver of any motor vehicle licensed
as a common carrier to have the Ii
cense in the vehicle. The secretary of
state should furnish five special mark
ers. One of the special markers shall
be carried in a conspicuous place on
the front of the motor vehicle. The
act shall not apply to any motor We
hicle in which passengers are carried
upon the payment of an individual fare
of 10 cents or over.
Senator Isbell offered an amendment
that the vehicles shall be confined to
stated route" He deprecated any
attempt to create a prejudice that
might influence legislation on the sub
ject of the regulation of the jitneys.
He said he appreciated the hunor in
the amendment offered by Senator
Barnes, but it SHOULD not be allowed
to create a prejudice. The senate
should consider if jitneys should be
regulated, and if so, how.
The judgment of the senate ought
not to be Influenced by a prejudice
against the present traction COM
panies. The regulation Of the jitneys,
if it was desired to regulate them,
should be on the merits Of the ques-
ton and not according to the in
fluence of prejudice.
The amendments were tabled for
printing in the journal.

Is it not worth remarking that the

war against her or make it possible for
her to declare war against US? In that
event, ammunition and supplies now

NOTED EXPERT IS
TO give HEALTH
VIEWS IN MEDINA
Finds Conditions Here Highly Fav-
Orable to the Introduction
Of Tanlac

Mr.. E. E. Getter, who has created
furore of common sense, paradox
cal as that may seem, in the larger
cities, with his modern theories of
health and hygiene and who declares
the savage of bygone days had
better health code than we moderns,
is in the city.
Mr.. Getter's arrival created wide
interest because of his labors in other
cities, which have been heard of here.
"It is true that I came here to learn
whether conditions would warrant the
introduction of Tanlac in Medina" {"
said Mr.. Getter. "I have been as
sured that they do. Several of your
best known business men have told
me they would be glad to have the
people of Medina get the same bene-
fits of Tanlac as have those of the
East and South, where hundreds of
thousands have been helped.
$50 I have decided to remain, at
least for a short time, and explain
how easy it is for nearly every one
to guard against the inroads of i'll
health and to check common ailments
by common sense living and modern
treatment.
"I contend, and I believe I have
proved, that catarrhal affections of
the head, nose, throat and stomach,
if neglected, finally produce a direct
result on the vital organs and that
nine times out of ten this condition
is at the bottom of the i'll health of
we present day Americans"
Savages, with their wonderfully
keen eye sight, accurate hearing and
sense of smell, proved, Mr.. Getter be-
lieves, that they were not afflicted
as are we moderns.
1t is Mr.. Getter's policy to person
ally direct the introduction of Tanlac,
the product, largely, of Herr Joseph
Van Trimbach, the noted German
chemist. and to limit this introduction
to one place in each city.
The exclusive sale of Tanlac will
take place at W. j. WALLIS DRUG
STORE, Medina, o. adv.
