JITNEY

"Jitney' was originally the side
show barker's slang for a nickel. In
some parts of the country it is COM
monty used in that sense today. But
out west it is rapidly taking on a new
meaning, which might be defined as
ANY self-propelled vehicle which
hauls passengers for a scent fare"
The coast cities started by calling
their new scent autobuses ''ttney
Buses" but now they call them sim
ply ''the titneys."

ckets-for-a-quarter fare. Portland's
system has a business agent, who
oversees the working of the drivers,
and station starters at various points
to keep the buses going on regular
schedule.
San FranciscO's enormous jitney
bus system has doubled in the last
week, and prOprietoTs say there will
be 1000 cars in operation in time for
the exposition crowds.
There are about 700 aUtobuses in
operation in Los Angeles. Any per-
son can enter the business with any
type of car, on payment of 81 in Ii
cense fees.
Houston, Tex, estimates that. the
jitney buses there, though less than
two months old, are taking at least
$1,000 a day in fares away from the
street car company.
In Dallas, San Antonio, and Calves
ton, the cars are just getting head
way, but in Fort Worth there are
more than 140 in operation, the driv-
ers averaging about 81 day net, and
taking fully $500 daily from the street
railway company.
In Kansas City, Mo-, the jitney
buses are making their most phenOm-
email showing, and there, as in all the
other places mentioned, the people
are enthusiastically with them, while
the street railway company is hostile.
Less than two weeks ago the first
jitney bus appeared in Kansas City

proximately so in operation. Some
of them are scurrying Ford cars, car
rying five passengers, others are big
converted trucks, with room for 40.

ceipts as about SIS per car, and net
earnings $3.50 to $40.

NO TRIAD UNTIL JANUARY.
Woman's Suit Against Priest Will Be
 Heard Then.

From the present outlook the suit of Mrs. Margaret Gauer for $2,O00 against Rev. Patrick Daley pastor of St. Joseph's church which was brought by the plaintiff several months ago, following an alleged attack on the woman in the convent of the church, will not be tried this year, according to what was learned today through counsel for the defense, Attorney Jo- seph G. Woods. MT. Woods said that he had been informed by Clerk Fuller of the superior court that no jury would be empaneled before January, and in consequence there would be no trial until then. Counsel for the priest has made application for a bond of $100 from the plaintiff and the bond was furnished by Attorney A. w. Up- son, counsel for Mrs. Gauer Attorney Woods is also preparing an answer which he will file with the court in a few days.
 Attorney Upson when interviewed this afternoon as to whether the case would go to trial said, ''It will as far as I am concerned" He said that he was awaiting the filing of an answer by opposing councel and if this was not done before tomorrow, he would request the court to order 1t done so as to get the case before a jury during the month of November.
 There have been rumors to the ef- feet that the plaintiff was to withdraw her case. It is also rumored that the defendant is anxious that the case be heard before court so that he will be able to repudiate the claim of the woman that he assaulted her.

FINEST TROOPS FRANCE
 EVER HAS KNOWN Gen. JOffre Declares in Order of Day Lauding Offen-
 sive Movement.

Paris, Oct. 21, a. m.-An order. of
 the day, issued by General Joffre,
 commander-in-chi of the French army, before the beginning of the re- cent offensive movement of the en- tente troops in Champagne, is pub lished here, as follows:
 ] General Headquarters, Sept. 23. 1 General Order No. 43.
 "Soldiers of the Republic:
 After months of waiting, which has | enabled us to increase our forces and resources while our adversary has | tack, to win and to add fresh pages of glory to those of the Marne, Flanders, 1 the Vosgoes and Arras. Behind the whirlwind of iron fire let lose | thanks to the toll in the factories of l France, where your brothers have ! worked for us night and day-you will go to the assault all together along the whole front, in close union with the armies of our allies. Your elation will be irresistible. It will carry you with the first effort to the adversary's batteries beyond the fortified lines he opposes to you. You will give him neither peace nor rest until victory has been gained. Go
  liverance of your native soil, for; triumph, justice and liberty.
 "(Signed) J. JOFFRE."
 How we'll this appeal was answered is shown by another order issued Oc- tober 8, which follows:
 "The commander-in-c chief expresses to the troops under his orders deep satisfaction at the results obtained up to the present by their attacks.
 Twenty five thousand prisoners, $50 officers, 150 cannon and material which has not yet been enumerated, are the trophies of the victory, the measure of which may be gauged by the impression made throughout Europe.
 "None of the sacrifices so readily made has been in vain. All have borne a share in the common task. The present is a sure guarantee to us of the future. The commander-in- chief is proud to command the finest | troops France ever has known" "(Signed) J. JOFFRE." The German war office on Oct. 4 gave out what was described as an ; army order of General Joffre, issued before the offensive movement of last month. This order called on the French troops to drive the Germans | out of France. Official denial, of the ! authenticity of this order was made ] in Paris. The German version, how 1 ever, stated that the order had been issued on Sept. IA, and may have been a prior order, as the Paris dispatch 1 fixes the date as Sept. 23. A Paris
 order substantially as given above, as dispatch last week reproduced this l published in Swiss newspapers.

Nashua, N. H., Oct. 21.-Although a number of strikers and their friends gathered today for a preliminary hear ing of three men arrested last night on charges of murder in connection with the death of James Stivie, vic- tim of a strike riot Tuesday, there was no disorder around the court room.
