Open Hearing On
 Jitneys In New Haven
Continued From Page 1.)

Continued From Page l. streets for a special purpose is a franchise which can only be granted by the sovereign power.
 6-This statute is unconstitutional and violates the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment in that it confers an unregulated discretion and arbitrary power upon the commission to grant or refuse or revoke a cer- tificate to operate a jitney.
 No other state reposes such power in a commission. In most states having titney statutes the granting power is the local munich pality.
 s-Pub1ic policy and precedent in Connecticut is opposed to the vesting in an administrative office of unlim- canse for the carrying on of a busi- ness not inherently dangerous. The jitney business is harmless, peaceable and beneficial to the public.
 has been used to prohibit and not to regulate the operation of jitneys In wiping out the jitney business in New Haven the commission has abus- prives the plaintiffs of their property without due process of law.
 Tick Wo vs. Hopkins. 11S U. S., 266.
 10-FTom such a sweeping denial of rights there is no relief except by injunction
 11-This statute fails to require a hearing by the commission but au- thorizes the rejection of an applica- due process of law. It requires an applicant to obtain" a certificate, without telling how to obtain it. It provides for an appeal to the Super for court but leaves the court with out power to grant a certificate or to control the action of the commission in refusing one
 12-The comm ission is not required of certificate. It can also revoke an existing certificate, without hearing and without stating a reason-both clearly unconstitutional.
 13-The finding of an admin1stra- tive commission is only valid when it is reached after due process of law. In this case the evidence seems to have been ignorde.
 14-If this statute was passed to allow the state through the public transportation monopoly in favor of existing street railway companies then 1t is unconstitutional and void.
 15@Transportation is one of the ble whether the state could allow or permit a monopoly in that respect.
 16-The citizen was not made for the street. The street was made for the citizen and for his use. Neither the legislature nor any other power can prohibit the citizen from his free use of the street.
 17-Public policy prohibits the passage of laws which will stay pro- gress. The real purpose of this present law seems to be to turn back the clock on transportation meth ods.
 1S-Improved methods of locomo- tion are perfectly admissible, if any shall be discovered, and they cannot be excluded from the roads provided their use is consistent with present methods.
 19-The law may throw around jitney buses various regulations which must be reasonable, but not ex- cessively arbitrary or prohibitory.
 The statute is void for many of the reasons set forth and an injunction ito stay its enforcement ought to be issued forthwith.

ODESSA, TEXAS, HAS
 "GO-GET-'EM" CHIEF

Odessa. Texas, Aug. 16-out here on the Pecos Valley range, where buckaroos "draw Hghtnin' fast, shoot from the hip and never miss Chicago "second story men haven't much of a chance to successful ply tn cir Illicit trade
 Four Chicago youths, awaiting trial under indictments charging them with burglary, have learned this Ihey buked up against Go-Get- Elm Jonii- son lanky WeSterner Sheriff Of Ector County, known far and wide as the fastest draw in the West"
 Burglars who robbed the Odessa Mercantile Company-and burglar1es are few and far between out here got a four-hour start on Johnson. With characteristic determination, the picturesque "Go-Get-'Em buckled on his "six-guns' and started down the road toward Barstow. Twenty miles out on the lonely road he met the four Chicago youths.
 "Going far, boys?" he drawled, stopping his car.
 With no suspicion in their minds and having odds of four to one, the youths eagerly scrambled aboard Sheriff Johnson's car. They had gone quite a distance before they discov- cred they were again nearing Odessa. They protested they were going in the wrong direction
 'tNOpe, SalQ JOnnSOn. Ou 1S SO- ing right. I'm the Sheriff and wanted to have a little talk with you"
 At the examining trial next day, following recovery of most Of the stolen articles, the youths pleaded guilty and were bound over to the Grand Jury, being later indicted.
 In the t'old Vest there is neigh bor1y acquisition regarding home steads. It is the unwritten law that officials must 'go and get 'em.' There is a silent invitation to "be leaving heah'' in the event of failure. '.Moseying'' the Mexies. History shows that "Go-Get-'Em" Johnson has never failed to get his man. Seldom has he had to make draw,'' but in those few times his marksmanship has been unfailing.
 There is somthing openly magnetic about this grim-visaged Sheriff of the West. Most of all there is an impell1ng honesty of purpose in his face-the '.go-get-it-iveness'' of the man. i The finding of potash in this section has brought many strangers to this little city. The strangers all pass un- der the close scrutiny of "Go-Get- 'Em'' Johnson.
 | Folks that seem undesirable" says Johnson, fare invited to 'mosey. We don't let crooks stop in Odessa. We don't want our population to increase by the coming of crooks by virtue of | the discovery of potash in Ector Coun- | ty. There's no room here TOT crooks, bootleggers and hi-jackers. If Odessa is going to be a boom town you c'n bet your last dime it'll be different from the other boom towns" Thirty Mexicans were pulled from the "bIinds'' of a freight train here re- gently when the brakeman discovered them The brakeman forced the Mex jeans to line up in front of the depot. ..Go-Get5Eem'' Johnson was notified. Within three minutes he was at the station.
 .HThe Mexies can't stop here," he told the brakeman.
 Well, they can't ride" replied the man in charge of the train.
 "You brought 'em in," draw1ed GO Get-'En'' Johnson. '1 guess you'1l have to get 'em out"
 The Mexicans "moseyed-"

The parade will be reviewed by Mayor E.

t351 CASES OF
 COMMUNICABLE
 DISEASES IN JULY

During the month of July. there were 1851 cases of communicable diseases reported by physicians and householders throughout the state to the local health officers in Connecti- cut. This is a considerable reduc- tion from the 1,938 cases reported in June. The reduction is quite mark ed, particularly in the case of meas les, scarlet fever, diphtheria, and pull monary tuberculosis.
 Measles - The measles cases were less than half what they were in June, falling from 287 to i40.
 Diphtheria - The reduction in diphtheria, while not as great, was gratifying to public health officials, as there were 5s less cases in July than the previous month. Not only have the diphtheria cases been re- duced, but an exceptionally good showing has been made in the fatality rate of diphtheria. The records show that in 1917, one in every ten ill with diphtheria died in Connecticut. This was reduced in 1920 to one in every sixteen. During the first six 1,703 cases of dipthheria reported and wS6 deaths, giving a fatality rate Of 50 per cent, or in other words, only one in every twenty i'll with in Connecticut. This is due chiefly to dlphtheria antitoXin, combined with its early administration in the course of the disease, and the fact that par
 
 cases of sore throat.
 Typhoid Fever-A slight incerase occurred in typhoid fever, 5S cases being reported for July. and of this number there were 3 cases in New Haven, 12 in Hartford. in New Brit ain, and in Hamden. Of the seven Hamden cases, six were in the same household, and is an indication of what happens when people are not protected against typhoid by the triple vaccine.
 practically no reduction in whooping cough. This disease is general throughout the state, every county reporting cases of this disease.
 Tuberculosis Pulmonary The reduction in pulmonary tuberculosis is probably not a real reduction, but rather due to delayed reports which will come in during the month Of August. Tuberculosis this Hear is running higher than last year; in fact, there have been more cases re- ported to date for the year than since 1916 and it would seem to indicate that the extensive work against the White Plague" must continue if the records of the previous years are to be equalled. The spread of this di- sease rests largely with families in which tuberculosis cases are known to exist, and these patients must be careful about the disposal of their sputum in order to prevent further cases in their family.
 TetanuS - There were eight cases of tetanus reported during the month, of which number six were due to infection through injuries re- :'ceived in celebrating the Fourth of July.

LAWYERS RECOMMEND ' INAUGURAL CHANGE

Cincinnati, O., Aug. 16-Advance of the presidential inauguration from March to the third Monday in Jan uary is recommended by a special committee of the American Bar As sociat;on, which will report to its convention opening here Aug. 30.
 The committee also advises that the Congress elected in November meet on the second Monday of the follow ing January.
 -~ The ground for the proposed changes is that too much time elapses between election and inaug- uration and converting of Congress.
 The report calls attention to a bill of Senator Ashurst providing for similar alterations.

 Washington, Aug. 16.-Eamonn De Valera's thinly yelled suggestions that the points at issue between England and Ireland be left to "external arbi- tration''-which means the United States-have fallen on deaf ears in Washington.
 Neither in official circles nor in congressional quarters is there to be found today, the slightest inclination | to have the United States mix up in the present negotiations in any way There would be great reluctance to und dertake mediation even should both sides request is. acording to the views previously expressed by several | high officials. Such a request is not anticipated, however.
 Also, officials said, in pointing out | the obstacles to American mediation Great Britain would have good cause | to doube the neutrality of Ameri- can mediation, in view of the sale o1 Irish Republican bonds in this coun- try and the innumerable resolutions expressing sympathy for the Irish
 Republic which have been introduced in Congress.
