JITNEY ORDINANCE GOOD.
Chancellor MartiDeau Uph0lds Right
 of City to Regulate This Traffic.

Little Rock, May Chancellor J. E. Martineau refused to grant per manent injunction against the city of Little Rock, upon the application of taxi-cab and jitney bus operators, to prevent the enforcement of the re- gently enacted ordinance regulating the traffic of such vehicles He held that the city has the right to make reasonable regulations. assess reason able fees, and require bonds to protect the public against accidents, and he found nothing i'll the ordinance which he considered unreasonable. He con- tinued the restraining order for twen- ty days longer. however. to give the operators furtAer opportunity to make their bonds. At is probable that the case will be appealed to the supreme court, as test for all the jitney ordinances to be passed by other cities of the state.

PLANT TREES WITH DYNAMITE
Jersey Experiment Stations-Cost
Is Little More.

With peach trees planted at the
Vineland substation of the New Jer'
sey experiment station, the average
growth of the dynamited trees the
first season was 794 inches, as com.
pared with an average growth Of 655
inches for trees planted in the ordinary
way. In all cases the ground was
thoroughly plowed before planting.
In another test in the same orchard
there was a difference ranging from
652 inches, or over fifty-four feet, of
growth to 1897 inches, or over 116 feet
of growth per tree in favor OF dyna-
hitting. Similar results were obtained
with peaches at New Brunswick,
whereas the apple trees showed prac-
tically no difference in The amount OF
growth between the trees planted with
dynamite and those planted in the or
binary way. In all the tests made the
percentage of trees living through the
first season was practically the same
under both methods Of planting.
The cost of planting was about five
cents greater per tree for the dyna-
mited trees. Although no conclusions
are drawn from the first years work,
the opinion is expressed that the use
of dynamite for planting fruit trees Is
worthy of thorough trial.

MAY USE DISCRETION
ON FLEEING MEXICO
ENJOYS at Capital Receive Instruc-
tons From PoWers-NeW Decree
Adds to Tangle.

Washington, Feb. II. - Practically
all the foreign diplomatic representa-
tives in Mexico City have been in
structed by their governments to use
their own discretion about leaving the
capital, according to an announcement
by Secretary Bryan.
Some of the embassies here under
stand that the diplomats in Mexico
City have an agreement that if they
leave Mexico City they will leave the
county entirely.
The situation has been further COM
plicated by the decree of General Car
rama that none of his subordinate
military chiefs shall discuss diplo-
matte questions.
This deprives the diplomatic corps
at Mexico City of the privilege of deal
ing with General Obregon or the de
facto authorities in Mexico City.
The only alternative held out to
them for discussing diplomatic mat
ters with the Carranza government is
visit to Vera Cruz, which they are
unwilling to make, lest it be construed
as formal recognition.
San Antonio, Tex, Feb. ia mes
sage from Saltil1o, seemingly con-
firmed by another message to the Car
rama agency here, says Satillo has
been taken by General Eulalio Cutter
rez from the Villa forces.
