Asparagus Boilers.

Everybody is aware OF the beneficial
results obtained by eating asparagus,
and while it Is in season we should all
serve this toothsome vegetable as often
as possible. Asparagus boilers, with
q rack that can be lifted out, thus
draining the water from the vegetable,
are excellent to use, as they insure the

UTILITIES BOARD
RULES ON JITNEY
State Body Holds That in HillsbOro
Case it Has No Jurisdiction Over
Automobile Carriers.
LOCAL DECISION is PENDING
Finding Has Wide Interest Here Be.
cause of Petition Filed by Fri.
City Railway Company.

Springfield, H., March 13.-"Jitney"
buses are not public utilities as oper-
ated in Hillsboro, H., according to a
decision of the public utilities COM
mission made public today. Operators
of bus lines here said the decision
would be considered victory by cit
ney" men all over the state.
The route travelled by the vehicles
in Hilsboro is determined by the desire
of the passenger" said the decision.
mo regular route is followed and the
bus lines are not competitors Of the
street car line"
In deciding that the bus line was not
public utility the commission dis
missed the case.
| The commission recently held that
| the Yellow TaXicab company of Chi
cago was not public utility and dis
missed the case against it. The plain
tiffs, J. W. Nemcomb and August
Schrader of Chicago, appealed the case
to the Sangamon county circuit court
Decision of the public utilities COM
mission in the Hillsboro jitney bus
case has wide local interest in view
of the fact that there is still pending
before the state body a petition filed
by the Tri-City company asking that
jitbusses be enjoined from operating in
Rock Island, Milan, Moline and East
Moline.
| c. J. Searle of Searle & Marshal,
counsel for the Tri-City Railway COM
pany, today said when notified of the
ruling:
Il do not know whether or not the
| HillSboro case is similar to the local
one. l do not know what the situation
is there and therefore could not pass
an opinion as to what might be eX-
pected in the decision on the local
petition
| c. S. Roberts, counsel for the jitbus
operators, said:
Il am unfamiliar with the facts in
| the Hillsboro case. Without having
gone into the situation very thorough
ly l would say off hand that look for
the utilities commission to dismiss the
petition of the Tri-City Railway COM
pany. l think the commission will
leave the question of regulation to the
cities.
No Decision i'm Local Code.
Should the commission hold that
Jitbusses as operated here are public
utilities it would place the auto car
riers out Of business. The jitbus men
would be forced to secure a certificate
of public necessity and convenience.
The board would reject their petition
for the same because the board would
not see that they are necessity and
convenience, as they operate in terri
tory covered by the street car lines"
A hearing on the local petition was
held in Springfield before the board
last August. Facts were agreed upon
by counsel for the railway concern and
the jltbus men,
The board took the matter under adj
visement, but has Lot as yet ruled up
on the local case. Mr.. Searle said to-
day that the petition filed by the street
car company was one largely to de-
termine whether the Utilities commits
sion of the cities had jurisdiction over
jitbusses.
