The interesting point about this de

is the ludicrousiy small means b.
which the great engine Of government
was stopped. The mass OF the Jap
snese nation knew nothing OF the
Indians. and cared nothing. The act
was the work Of : handful OF men
on the Tokyo press. backed by half
dozen political free lances. No ques-
tions OF policy were involved. There
was. in the Official eye. nothing what.

the government climb down.

AS to the Hindu organization in the
United States, it has been at work
since 1907. It comprises natives of
India who are highly educated; also
members Of the Clan-Na-GaeI, and OF
ate many Germans and American pro
Germans. One of the announced aims
of the organization is to start a mutiny
IN India in 1917 to commemorate the
Diamond Jubilee Of the Mutiny OF
1857"
The Hindus in America have a
newspaper devoted to their interest
and also a school of instruction for the
purpose Of educating natives of India
in the use of arms. British agents
closely watch these activities. They
are still of negligible extent.
II a revolution ever does gain head
way in India, there is only one i'm
portant native prince whom the Brit
lsh will have cause to suspect. This
is the gaekwar of Baroda, well known
n the United States, who is reported to
have encouraged Hindus in anti-Brit
lsh views. The gaekwar is in i'll SO
cial repute both in London and in In
lila because he married a dancer.

When Commissioner n z. JuhI re-
turned TO his desk at the city hall to-
day after an absence Of 10 days in
Minnesota on vacation he intimated
he would vote TO give the paving of
FOrty-secOnd street to the Moline Con-
struction company.
If the commissioner follows out his
intention he will break the tie vote of
the board of local improvements which
several days ago split over awarding
the contract. Mayor McConochie ia
vored giving the contract to the Moline
Construction company and City En-
gineer Wallace TreichIer opposed it.
The bid Of the construction company

company bid $1.95 per square yard on

JITNEY men LOSE
IN FIRST INNING
Judge +. ID. Ramsay 0yerrules Demur-
rer To Bill Filed in Injunction Suit
by Tri-City Railway.
TEMPORARY WRIT NOT GRANTED
Court Gives Defendants Until Oct. 8 to
File Answer or PIead-Merits of
Case Determined Then.

The Tri-City Railway company won
the first inning in the injunction suit
/ brought to restrain the operation of
jitneys when Judge Frank ID. Ramsay
in circuit court this morning, overruled
the demurrer of the defendants.
Judge Ramsay refused, however, to
grant the temporary injun asked.
He stated that many new and intri-
cate points were brought up in the
case and that few precedents had been
established and therefore he desired
to further consider the merits of the
matter at issue. He did say that he
thought the compliments were en-
titled to a speedy determination of the
case and he would grant the defend
ants until Oct. 8 to plead or answer to
the bill.
Rival Contentious.
The street car company contends
that the JitneyS should not be allowed
to operate because the drivers have
not secured certificates of convent
ence and necessity as required by the
state public utilities commission. 1t is
urged that the jitneys are operated on
streets parralleling the street car
tracks and that they furnish unneces-
sary competition. A big pecuniary
loss is occasioned through the opera
tlOn or the autos, the company claims.
Contention of the jitney drivers is
that the street car company merely
has a license to operate cars on the
streets of Rock Island; that that right
is not an exclusive one and that the
jitneys have complied with all of the
city regulations and have also Sc
cured licenses to operate. Jurisdiction
of the utilities commission IS uues-
toned. Searle & Marshall and Lane
& Waterman appear for the street car
and II. A Weld and C. S.
for the drivers.
