BUS OWNERS AIM
TO GET PROTECTION

The bus owners of this city, i'll all
effort to obtain better protection III
the municipalities in which they OPP
crate are leading a movement Tor
the organization of all bus owners
in the county. Counselor John j.
Toolan has been employed by the
bus people to draw up the necessary
papers and do other legal work in
the formation of a committee of this
kind.
At a meeting held this week. the
opinion of the wner was that 1t Is
too easy for new persons to obtain
permits to place BUSES in operation,
and that some of the lines at the
present time are overcrowded. They
were also in favor OF having sched-
ules with regular stops, so that BET
ter time could be made, and the
buses would not be forced to stop
except at regular appointed stations.
The owner will meet again next
week. In the meantime efforts will
be made by a membership commit
tee to obtain to sign up all bus own
ers in the county.

Great Shipping Combine.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 4r for
nation of a great shipping combine
to control all the ocean going ton
mage of Japan have apparently
come to a s~tandstill.
Mr.. Hori, president of the Osaka
Shosen Kaisha, declares that the
difference of the various companies
IN standing and make a
merger almost impossible. If the
combine included the big companies
1t would require, in his opinion, to
be capitalized at $500, 900, 900 and
the new arrangement would be
cumbersome.
Possibly the end in view may be
partly effected by the larger COM
panies buying up some of the small
er and so averting the financial
strain which the latter fear if they
face the coming competition on
their own resources.

that the poultry men will measure
their interest by their attendance at

Three Safes 10 Crack.

NEW BRUNSWICK. Dec. IL
Robbers who entered the jewelry
store of O. o. Stillman here learn
ed that the theory of three card
monte may be applied to burglary
insurance. Stillman keeps three,
safes so that burglars will have to

two-to-one chance against them
proved too much for the recent in
truders, who opened one of the
empty tko, and hen quit the game,
leaving that with the Naluables in
