Denver. Feb. 15.-At no time dur
ing the present winter has the Denver

occasioned by snow or high water, in
the operation of trains on its main line

VOTE ON JITNEY ORDINANCE.
Hutchinson Men May Take City's Ac-
ton Before the People.

Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. 15.--Hutch-
inson's jitney ordinance probably will
be put to the people of the city at the
next city election according to the
threat of an attorney for the jitney
owners made at the last meeting of
the city commissioners. Direct
charges that the street railway COM
parry was responsible for the ordi-
nance were made by the lawyer.
The jitney men. said Judge c. E.
Branine, the jitney attorney. are will
ing to be regulated but he claims
that the ordinance is drawn for the
purpose of driving the jits off the
streets. They especially object to the
clause that provides for a bond of ST.
900 for each machine. Another fea-
ture of the law that is protested is the
ruling that jitneurs must charge ten
cents for carrying passengers.

reason for the delay in repairing the
