Are Not Willing to Test
New Ordinance Until
Next Tuesday.
THEY WILL NOT RUN
Mayor and Commissioners
Firm at Stormy Meet
ing Yesterday.

THE jitneys will not run today or
any other day 80 long as the
present iitncy ordinance Is in effect,
officers of the union stated last night.
A proposition made by the city COM
mission yesterday morning to give
temporary relief to the transportation
difficulty was turned down flatly by
the operators. They declare that not
a jitney car will run in Tulsa until
the ordinance they object to is either
repealed on satisfactorily amended.
An application for an injUrction to
prevent city officials from enforcing
the new jitncy ordnance will be made
in the superior court this morning.
members of the union said yesterday
They have employed an attorney and
an assessment made on all operators
to pay the costs of fighting the case.
If the restraining order is issued the
iitncys will resume operations at once
the operators promise. II Is probable
that an immediate hearing of the in
junction will be granted.
II was suggested by the commits
sioners that the iitney men resume
operation of their cars under the terms
of the new ordinance limiting the
number of passengers to two more
than the registered capacity Of the
car The operators were told that
they would not have to take out new
license and would be allowed to oper-
ate under this plan until next Tues
day.
This plan was to test the conten-
ton Of the jitney men that they could
not operate at a profit under the new
ordinance. They were asked to keep
record Of the amount Of business
done and their expenses, for considera-
tion by the commission next Tuesday.

AN APPEAL TO THE
CITIZENS OF TULSA

Repeated efforts to secure lcgit-
mate news from the police department
have proved unavailing and The
World is forced to call on its sub
scribers and the public at large to
assist it in obtaining items concerning
robberies. holdups, murders and other
crimes that might be expected to
come under the Jurisdiction of the po-
lice.
For some unknown reason the po-
lice have consistently. maliciously
and willfully attempted to suppress
news of this kind. Only on rare oc-
casions has it been possible to secure
data of this nature from the police
authorities, and then usually after the
"tip" has been received from other
sources.
Bootlegging raids and arrests of
prostitutes constitute the sum total of
news" that is voluntarily given out
by the men in charge of the depart
ment. They have always been ready,
even anxious to get items of this ma
ture into the columns of this paper,
but their lips have been sealed on
all other activities
Appeals to those higher up have
been made so frequently. and always
without relief, that The World Is
forced to call on its friends and the
public generally TO assist it in dissent
mating legitimate news of law viola
tions. Liquor seizures may be news
but they are only small portion or
the news that usually emanates from
police department.
If at any time you know or hear of
anything of the character referred to
that you believe would be interesting
news to the readers of this paper you
will confer favor by telephoning 1t
to the editorial department of The
World,

Brief Facts
for Voters
CBy GLENN CONDON

(By GLENN CONDON)
Travelling statesmen and others
who may be away from home on
next election day will not lose
their vote this year.
A new law, passed by the recent
extraordinary session Of I h
state legislature, is now effective.
II gives to every legal voter the
right of suffrage, regardless of
what portion of the state he may
be in on election day.
For instance. supposing you are
a registered voter in Tulsa county
and on November 7 you happen
to be in Guthrie, Okla. Under
this new law you may go to any
poll in Guthrie, show your regis
tratiou certificate and demand u
ballot For national and state
officers you will vote the same
as those who live there. For
county officers, however, you will
vote In the candidates in your
home county. You may do this
by writing on the county ballot
given you the names of the Tulsa
county men for whom you desire
to vote. You must write these
names in ink. Your ballot will
be mailed to the secretary of the
electiot board in the county
where you reside and will be
counted.
The passage of this law was
secured largely through the ef-
forts Of Secretary of State Lyon,
who was a travelling salesman be-
fore being elected to that office.
