the British Lullington, of 2,S16 tons

UNIVERSAL MILITARY
TRAINING MEASURE

Washington. Feb. 10. - A universal

without comment, asking that il 70

Democrat, and Brady, Republican,

the right to submit minority reports
Primarily the bill provides that ali

JITNEYMEN FILE
ANSWERS TO THE
H.R COMPLAINTS
Deny That They Are Subject to
Company Service Law or
That They Compete

The first ten jitneymen charged be-
fore the Public Service Commission
with operating jitneys illegally, with
out State certificates and when there
is adequate service, to-day filed ans
wers before the Commission. The at
torneys for the jitneymen are George
r. Kelsey and Oscar G. Wickersham.
The answers are the strongest filed
by any persons complained against by
any of the street railways whether
in Allegheny, Luzerne, Lackawanna or
other counties where the trolley COM
panies are fighting the jitneys. The
Harrisburg men deny that they are
subject to the public service acts of
1913 or 1915; deny that the Harrisburg
Railways Company gives adequate
service; demand proof as to whether
the company pays for the paving work
and the repair of bridges which it
claims; demand proof that it pays
taxes and that the city gets three per
cent. of the gross receipts under the
city ordinance enacted a number of
years ago.
1t is further set forth that the lit
neymen accused of falling to comply
with the law do not have fixed routes,
regular schedules, established rates of
fare or maintain such common carrier
service as alleged. 1t is also declared
that they do not compete with the
trolley company and alleged that they
serve portions of the city not reached
by the Harrisburg Railways Com
pany.
The Commission will fix date for
the hearings.

Official orders for mastering out the
regiment will be received here on the
arrival of the troops. 1t is the belief
that the soldiers of the Eighth Regi-
ment will not be continued in service
in the event of war with Germany
This belief is based on the fact that
orders have been given to the Eighth
to return home, which would not have
been the case were the soldiers to be
continued in service.
