J|TNEY OWNERS
PROTEST AGAINST
PROPOSED FEES
Say City CounseI's Ordinance
Draft Is Unjust and
Discriminatory.

Allegations of discrimination and
unfairness in the ordinance to regu-
late the Jitney busses, as proposed by
City Counsel Spaulding Frazer and
which, 1t is said, might be submitted to
the Board of Works this afternoon,
were made at a meeting this morning
of the Jitney Service Association held
in the new quarters in the New Jer-
sey Automobile and Motor Club
building in Washington place.
In the ordinance, as prepared by
City Counsel Frazer, 1t Is provided
that the jitneys be licensed at from
capacity; further, the draft calls for
the bonding of the owner of the car
in sums from $1,000 to $1,000 to pro-
tect the city in the event of accidents.
1t was to the latter clause that the
charges of discrimination were made.
The officers and directors of the
jitney organization were named as a
committee to attend the meeting of
the Works Board this afternoon to
voice the protest of the jitney men.
This committee will also go before
the Common Council and Mayor Ray
mond in an effort to secure the
changes desired by them.
VIII Appeal to Courts.
When the matter of the proposed
city ordinance was brought before
the meeting there was an immediate
protest from a number of the mem
bers. 1t was declared that the money
as asked by the ordinance for q
license was excessive and unjust. In
the matter of bonding the owners of
the cars, it was contended by the
members that If this was enforced
against the jitney men the matter
the city also demanded correspond
ing bond from every automobile
owner in the city.
1t is contended by the jitney owners
that they now pay a hack license to
the city, license for the chauffeur
a personal tax and State tax for the
car. This, they believe, is enough Ii
censes without adding the cost of a
bond and another fee for using the
city streets.
Want TrolIeys to Give Warning.
Secretary Lacey called the attention
of the members to the fact that ac-
cording to traffic regulation they are
required to put out their hand as
signal when they are about to stop,
whereas the motorman on q trolley
can stop any time without any warn
ing being given. He urged that some
step be taken to compel the street
railway people to adopt a signal
whereby the drivers of autos and
wagons following in the wake of a

OXFORD STREET
PAVING BRINGS
OUT A PROTEST

The street committee of the Board
of Works voted this afternoon to
rescind the ordinance passed about
year ago to pave oxford street from
Bowery street to the Passaic river
with asphalt.
The action was taken upon the rec
ommendation of Engineer william
Howell, despite vigorous protest by
Commissioner Charles p. Gillen, who
declared that the board would be
"playing into the hands of the bitu-
lithic trust" by resembling the order.
The move to rescind the Oxford
street asphalt specifications is said to
be based on recent petition by prop
who signed to have btu
lithic laid. Mr.. Gillen has alleged that
improper methods have been used to
obtain the signatures. The property
front of oxford street includes
half block frontage owned by st.
Aloysius's Church. Rev. John j. Pres
ton, the rector, is said to be in favor
of the bitulithic, and he and Commits
sioner Gillen have had some commu-
nications on the subject.
Arthur e. Owen, representing the
Central Railroad Company of New
Jersey, presented a petition to the
Board of Works today signed by the
railroad officers and the American
Synthetic Dyes, Inc, asking permis-
sion to lay a spur track from the
railroad main line to the factory of
the latter company, now in process
of erection on Avenue r. Permis-
sion was necessary because the track,
if laid. will cross Avenue r, pros
pective public way, which has been
dedicated, but never laid out. The re-
quest was taken under advisement

BRITISH DETA|N

BY the United Press.
LONDON, June "a The Norwegian
steamer Bergensfjord, with DIR. Bern.
hard Dernburg, German propogand-
list, and his wife aboard, has been de-
tanned at Kirkwall, with the Swedish
steamer Varing, from Savannah. The
Bergensfjord was due to reach Ber-
gen today. The government has not
made public its reasons for OBTAINING
the steamer.
Dr. Dernburg and his wife sailed
from New York June 10, under a
guarantee of safe conduct by the al
lies. 1t Is believed here that the
steamer on which he was passen.
ger may have been detained because
of reports that German reservists
were aboard.
The New York Tribune, In an early
edition today, printed an interview
with DIR. Dernburg, which the latter
granted, on condition that II be not
published until after his safe arrival
in Norway. In this interview, DR..
Dernburg expressed desire to go to
the front. The Tribune withdrew the
Interview from It's last edition, when
a. London cable early today brought
word that the steamer was detained.
The action of the British authori-
ties in stopping the steamer Is not at
all unusual. 1t is understood that
Scandinavian vessels crossing the
war zone have agreed to enter Kirk
wall for inspection to prevent contro-
versies over their cargoes. 1t is pos
sible that under such an agreement
the steamer aboard which DIR. Dern-
burg was passenger voluntarily put
into port.

Mother Mary Xavier Mehegan, found

Elizabeth here early today. She was
in her ninety-first year. She was
perhaps the best known Catholic
woman educator in the United States.
The venerable nun was taken ill
one week ago. Up to that time she
had continued at her duties appar-
emily in robust health as usual, de-
spite her great burden of years. 1t
was seen that her condition was
serious, and Friday she was given
the last rites of the church. She ral-
lied, however, but last night she
grew worse and she slowly sank.
Convent Bell Tolled.
The death of Mother Xavier hap
pened a few minutes after midnight.
1t was seen that her end was rapidly
approaching and all the other nuns
of the college convent were sum-
moned They offered prayers for the
dying as their beloved leader passed
away. Immediately after the death
of Mother Xavier the convent bell
was tolled ninety-one times, once for
each year of her life.
Mother Xavier was a tireless work.

vision she gave to the departments
under her care was reflected in the

to reach chapel for the early morning
services. She was able to read her

City Counsel spaulding Frazer ad-
vised the Board of Works this after
noon that the authority to regulate
