AGREED TO LET
MATTER STAND.
Mr.. Wilson said :

MIR. uISOn Sdlus
Under our agreement with the public
service comm ssion, reached seVeral
weeks ago when we had a conference at
the Statehouse, we were to let the jitney
bus matter stand for a period Of sixty
DAYS while the Scent fare was being tried
out again. l had not expected anything
to happen until then.
Or Jameson says that the company Is
losing 81 600 more per day than 1t was
n wear ago. 1t seems to me that they
ought to be operating for at least that
much less per day now than a year ago.
He further says that in & very short
time they Will have to stop operating on
the West Washington. West indianapolis
and other lines on which the jltney com
petition Is heavy. If they do that they'll
lust wake up the people to the necessity
for iitney regulation, which a whole lot
OF people do not now believe exists.
"If it becomes necessary for the council
to take regulatory action / think that 1t
would be well for the council to have
representative go with the committee
from the street railway company and the
public service commission on their trip to
kansas City, Mo, Sioux City and Des
Moines, Iowa. We did not feel at first
that we should send a representative be-
cause we have not been in favor Of spend
ing the peoples money on trips for city
officials. but it might be well for us TO
have first-h hand information Of what has
been done in these other cities upon which
to consider the question here. We have
a $500 appropriation for Investigations
which he's not been touched.
"The situation is rather complicated by
the fact that we now are trying to frame
an ordinance to regulate the company in
lieu of the surrendered franchise and it
had not been the intention to take uE the
jitney question until something had been
done on regulation of the company.

CHINA HAS ACCEPTED
France Sees Danger in. Con-
ference-England Wrangles
Over Delegation.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Japan
has informed the United States that
she will be happy to participate in
q disarmament conference at Wash
ington," but failed to announce her
willingness to participate in a con.
ference concerning far eastern
policy, it was announced at the State
Department today.
China has also informed the
United States of her acceptance OF
the invitation extended by President
Harding to attend the proposed con-
ference, it was announced.
It was emphasized by officials that ia
pan had not expressed an unwillingness
to participate in discussion Of Far East
ern problems, but the fact remained that
the acceptance applied only to a disarma-
ment conference.
Officials have by no means given up
hope that Japan will eventually agree to
accept President Hardlng's invitation
with reservation.
The acceptance Of China has been an
ticipated from the start and whatever
delay occurred was attributed rather to
difficulty OF communication than to any
reluctance on the part Of the Chinese to
accept.
LONDON, July 14.-Tn reply to 4
question whether he Will head the Brit
ish delegation to President Harding's
disarmament conference, Premier Lloyd
George answered IN the House Of Com
mons this afternoon that the British ar
rangements for the conference have not
yet been made.

JITNEYs COLLECT
$1,000 PER DAY"


In an observation test made about
TWO weeks ago, it was shown that the
Jitneys are collecting considerably
more than $1,000 per day, all of which
comes out of the revenue that would
otherwise go to the Indianapolis
Street Railway Company During the
month of~June the receipts of the
street car company were more than
$1,000 per day less than they were in
June, 1920, and for the first nine daya
OF July, they were approximately
$1,000 per day less than for the cor
responding days Of last year. This
condition has now continued for such
length of time as TO constitute a
grave menace to the further efficient
operation of the street railway svss

lily enacted which shall absolutely
forbid the competition Of jitneys ON
the streets served by the street rail-
way company, the officials Of the
company can see but one of two
alternatives; either an abandonment
Of all service on those lines as West
Washington street, South Meridian
street and the West Indianapolis
lines, where jitney competition is
most serious, or the raising of the
rate of fare TO such a poiat as that
those who are forced to continue
using street cars will make up for the
loss suffered by those using jitney
service. You will agree that the
adoption of either alternative would
be serious matter to that large por-
tion Of the public who are patrons
of the street car company. The dis
continuance of service on certain lines
would mean an absolute hardship to
those communities served by the lines

I'VE believe that a discontinuance
Of jitney competition on the streets

day which is being sustained, and
would enable the company to con-
tinue service on all it's lines and at

The request, which is the most starts
ling Of a long series of communications
and conferences between street car and
city officials is in the form of letter to
Russell Wilson, president Of the council.
Copies were also sent to all of the councils
men and to Mayor Charles w. Jewett
In supplemental letter to the mayor,
Mr.. Jameson calls upon him to lend his
cooperation in bringing about the regu-
latory measures and concludes with the
statement that "the jitneys are taking
more than so per cent Of the entire reve-
nue. paid for transportation" on West
washington street, South Meridian street
and the West indianapolis lines.
CAUSE HARDSHIP
ON THE PUBLIC.
Further on the demand sent to Mr.
Wilson declares The discontinuance Of
service on certain lines would mean an
absolute hardship to those communities
served by the lines abandoned. On the
other hand, the enactment Of an 8 or
IO-cent fare would be a heavy
burden upon those who were compelled
to continue using the street cars"
The letter concludes with this terss
statement:
If it (relief) is not promptly granted.
the company Will have no alternative but
to seek relief along one of the lines herein
indicated"

president OF the common council.
and through you the other members
Of the council to the Imperative
need for prompt enactment of an
effective titney ordinance.
AT the time the public serTtca
commission reduced the cash fare from
cents to cents, It was for the ex-
press purpose Of seeing what effect
the reduction and rerouting of the
cars on certain lines would have on
titney competition over a period of
sixty days, and with the suggestion.
which was concurred in by the rep
resentatives OF the council, that if re-
lief did not come in this way, that
by the end of the sixty days the
enactment of an effective 1itney
ordinance would be considered. 1t IA
now practically forty five days sincs

stead Of the results of jitney com.
petition being substantially eltmi.

BY HAROLD d. JACOBS.

Downright 1921 by the United Press-l
NEW YORK, July 14.-Americnn muni-
tions makers today placed themselves on
record in favor of limitation of arma-
ments.
Men whose business interests would re
ceive huge profits through war, endorsed
President Harding's proposed disarma
ment conference, both from a humanita-
rian and economic standpoint.
Chief among those who declared for
armament limitation In statements 10 the
United Press was Ireneo Dupont, presi-

pany. largest powder manufacturers In

Dupont revealed that his concern had
scrapped and dismantled 05 per cent Of
the plants which provided the United
States and the allies with powder during

Jameson, chairman of the board OF
directors of the Indianapolis Street
Railway Company, threatening that
the company will suspend service on

action to destroy bus competition.
Russell Wilson, president of the city

body. also received a letter from the
traction head announced that he viii call
the council in a special conference by
Saturday to discuss what action is to be
taken.
WOULD END

II am opposed to an increased fare
above cents. but am in favor or legisla-
ton that will enable the company to i'm

mayor

II we let that happen well have some of
the people who have been urging US to
do nothing TO the JitneyS bringing pres
sure upon US to save the street car
lines" said Mr.. Wilson.
The mayors statement Is as follows
Il am in receipt Of a letter from the
chairman of the board OF directors of the
Indianapolis Street Railway Company
which in substance. states that unless
the titney bus menace to the welfare OF
the company is eliminated, the company
will be forced to appeal to the public
service commission for higher fare and
discontinuance Of service on certain
lines.
THE matter of regulating jitney busses
on the streets Of Indianapolis is purely q
legislative matter and the power to curb
jitney bus business rests solely with the
common council. However. / am or the
oDiuion and have been for many months,
that titney bus business is a serious and
vital menace to our street car system ana,
II the council will pass stringent laws
prohibiting the activities of the jitney
buses on our public streets in compe-
tition with the street car company, /
will sign the ordinance.
AUTO CANNOT
SUPPLANT CAR.
1T Is impractical to believe that the
street car system of Indianapolis can
be supplanted by auto busses. Once the
system is destroyed, Indianapolis will
be retarded in It's growth and develop
ment to such an extent that 1t viii take
years to recover Unless the jitney bus
business is eliminated, irrepairable
harm will come to the city through the
destruction Of our transportation system
II am opposed to an incread rare
above cents and in favor of legislation
that will enable the company to i'm
prove its service and be free from com
petition of the jitney lines. This, to
my mind is essential to the progress
and development Of indianapolis, and
believe that there should be no delay in
rectifying the condition that now exists.
trust the council will give this matter
serious thought and provide an adequate
remedy that will cure a condition that
will result in detriment to the entire
