JITNEY LAW IN
EFFECT; NEED
NEW LICENSES
Many Drivers Have Not Com
piled With New Rules and
Ask Association.

a considerable number Of jitney bus
drivers were operating their cars today
without the new licenses and bonds re
quired by the jitney regulation ordin-
ance, which became effective at midnight
last. night. The board of public safety
announced last Tuesday that enforcement
OF the ordinance would start today but
at a late hour no arrests hld been made
City Controller Robert Ii Bryson re
ported that no new licenses have been
taken out although several drivers have
made inquiry about the requirements.
The measure raises the license fee to
S2J per year and requires filing with the
controller of bonds Of $1,000 or $4,000
depending upon passenger capacity Of the
jltney as well as schedules and routes
which must be religiously adhered to
under penalty Of forfeiture of license.
Mr.. BrysOn said that one of the drivers
told him an effort is being made to form
an association Of jitney drivers such as
functions in Kansas city. The drivers
say they are having great difficulty in in
ducing bonding companies TO sell them
bonds, except at almost prohibitive rates,
unless they band themselves together into
responsible organization. The Kansas
City association compels strict observ-
ance Of all traffic aud transportation laws
from its members and is looked upon
with favor as Il stabllizer Of its members
by the bonding companies, it is said

Although Halliday confessed having
1900 notes printed with a par value of

on the market so far as known.
According to the confession, he deposit
ed $4,000 in spurious certificates at the

that they might be exchanged for coupon
bonds the certificates were sent to the
J. Z. Morgan tS Co., which is floating a

by plain speaking with regard to

rogatories to be launched with polite
ness but with persistence. Until they
are answered, great conference
powers like the United States. Great
Britain, France and Japan frankly
concede their inability to approach
any vital Chinese questions with
finality.
The question will be asked with every

selhshuess and something approaching
affection for China. But even friends
some time find 1t necessary to talk
straight from the shoulder, especially
when dislnterested service Is their in

thority that Americas determination 10

the beclouded aspect Of Affairs there. So
the Chinese delegation IN Washington be-
