Brannon and Lyons. city detectives, are expected to arrive in the city this morning from Cleveland. O., with George Fox. alias George Scott, negro, who is alleged to be wanted here on three charges of murder. one of which was the shooting of o. II. Ware, a rail- road man. at Twenty-eigh.h street and Tenth avenue, north, last october.

, revenue therefore makes it necessary to increase this revenue by increased fare.
 Case of Bridgeport
 | The most striking case of city coming to it's senses on the jitney question was in Bridgeport. Conn. It was an ideal place for jitneys to op- crate. The city was flat, compact, there were extensive tenements and the hauls were short. The jitneys got started, and flourished from the beginning. They increased so and were taking the business from the street railway to such an extent that the company went to the city authori- ties and asked for relief, We can do nothing; the people prefer the jitneys and insist on riding them the city au- thorities said The company went from bad to worse. and on the first of June notified the city that on July street cars would cease to operate in Bridgeport. All right said the city, we will turn our transportation over to the Jitneys'
 And they did. Jitneys all over New England were notified and flocked i into the city. The jitneys formed a big company, and the people thought they were revolutionizing traffic. It lasted just 90 days. The city was up in arms. Traffic was damned Jit- neys were everywhere. It was unsafe to cross the streets. Merchants pro- tested they were losing thousands of dollars in business because so many of their customers who had no cars would ride In jitneys. To carry the people that one street car of 75 pas senger capacity would carry required Is jitneys. Multiply this by scores of street ears, and you can have an idea of the traffic situation in Bridgeport
 The city authorities at the end of the 30 days took no half steps They , simply passed an ordinance that no jftney could operate on the streets of Bridgeport. They had had their les son.
 Operating Costs
 We have figured this thing out most carefully. It is a regretful step to take. But increased fare is the only solution of the present conditions. Our operating costs are low in com | parison with other cities We have cheap power and other advantages. But we are really an interurban sery- ice Our hauls are long We cover 50 square miles of territory
 The extra charge for transfers is lair. Only 20 per cent of our passen gers ask. for transfers. and4it is not fright to make the other four fifths rays for them. There are terrible abuses of the transfer privilege. I can. stand on any corner in Birming- ham, and people will constantly offer me transfers. At some of the big plants entire shifts bring transfers to the shift going off duty, and the other. shift does the same for them when they come to work. It is against 1 the law but there seems to ,. ,,o r,o,, to enforce it, unless an extra charge is made for the transfer.
 l T hope that before passing judg- mont on the matter, our patrons will read carefully the receivers petition and Judge Grubbs order in Sundays 'paper. The step was taken only after there seemed no other way,
