,JITNEYS AGAIN
OPERATE UNDER
LICENSE PLAN
Motor Carriers Permitted to
Resume on Meridian
Street Route.

Three Jitney buses started operating
on the South Meridian street line under
the jItney regulation ordinance today.
They are the first to run legally since
the city council passed the ordinance
last fall
In order to operate under the ordi-
nance. r. S. Wright, 1918 North Beville
avenue, president of the indianapolis Jit-
ney Drivers Association; Charles T.
Barber. 1887 Hiatt street and Louis Pot
ter, 202O South Meridian street, took out
city 1itney licenses for 1922, paying S25 !;
filed $1,000 bonds each and paid State
license fees Of 50 and Federal tax Of $40
IA further compliance with the ordinance
they filed routes and schedules under
which they must operate under penalty
Of revocation of license Mr.. Wright
said the premium on the bonds cost each
driver $4S5.
The three jitneys viii run from the
Bluff road and the Belt Railroad north In
Meridian street to Pearl street, west In
Pearl to Illinois street. south in Illinois
to Georgia street, east in Georgia to
Meridian street, south in Meridian street
to Madison avenue and south in Madi-
son avenue and Union street to Adler

starting point, according to their official
routes. Their schedules call for round
trip every fifteen minutes. Under the or
dinance they must operate at least ten
hours every day.
Since the ordinance prohibits the load
ing or discharging Of passengers on
streets where car-tracks are located, pass
engers will be received and discharged in
Pearl street downtown. To receive or
discharge passengers in South Meridian
street, the drivers will evade the ordin-
ance by turning into side streets.
Mr.. Wright said the three drivers
have agreed to run so there viii be ap-
proximately five minute service on the
route. City councilmen, who are consid-
ering amendments to make the ordinance
less severe, viii be asked TO take a few
rides in the jitneys to gain a more com
prehensive idea Of the burdens placed
on jitney drivers by the present reg
ulations announced.

ASKS CITY TO
RENT SANITARY
POUND FOR DOGS
Elizabeth COnger, Pound
master, Says Present
Quarters Vile.

A plea that the city lease the animal
shelter home OF the indianapolis Humane
Society for use as n dog pound in order
to eliminate conditions at the present
pound, which she described as TERRIBLE
was made today by Mrs. Elizabeth Con
ger. city pOundmaster, to the board of
public safety. The board instructed her
to find out what terms the Humane So
ciety is willing TO make.
The shelter was built from proceeds Of
the buy brick" drive Of the Humane
society about two years ago. 1t cost &c.
600 and has an Indebtedness of $4,000,
which the society IS unable to meet. 1t is
located on the PendIeton pike, a mile
northeast of the city limits. 1t has
twenty-fOur pens, Is steam heated, has
dog bath and Is in other ways modern.
The society never has used it.
PRESENT POUND
DECLARED UNFIT.
Something has got to be done to get
Us out of the present pound" said Mrs.
COnger.
1t is located in the rear Of the city
yards at the Big Four Railroad and East
New York street.
I'VE have eight, cold, dirty, miserable
pens. We've tried everything we can
think Of to make conditions better, but
that place is so old and vile that nothing
can be done for it. 1t is alive with n
chrepto-coccic infection. which might
otherwise be termed the dog influenza
We have no facilities for isolating in
tested animals. We bring those poor
dogs into the pound in splendid physical
condition. Sometimes they only last five
days Something has got to be done.
We've tried spraying the place, but the
boards have cracks between them that
we can't reach.
CAN'T HEAT
PLACE PROPERLY.
I'VE can't heat the place properly
Why, I even knocked the stove down
myself the other day, it's so insecure"
Mrs. Conger said she thought the city
should not pay more than $75 n month
rent for the new place. Board Member
Edward G. SOurbier said he thought this
too high.

Fair Bond Case May
Be Taken to Court

1t probably will be necessary for a
court to decide the legality OF the bonds
issued by the State board Of agriculture,
William Jones. financial secretary Of the
board, said today. The board proposes
TO issue 81 100000 In bonds, mortgsging
the State fair grounds, for the purpose of
paying the debts of the board and to
make improvements.
Mr.. Jones said the question has arisen
as to whether the State legally can give
mortgage and that the Chicago Bond
Company, which has bio on the secur-
tiles, will not take them for that reason.
Attorney General Z. s. Lesh has ruled
the bonds are legal

The dogs trailed three different times
to the home of q prominent farmer liv-
ing near the Bement home with nearly
q hundred persons following It. Two
other trails led to the Bement home.
THE neighbor, however, helped carry the
bodies home and it is thought likely the
dogs picked up the scent from these trips
to the scene His name was not divulged.
Another clew which officers are fol-
lowing developed in the story Of an
aged woman living near the Bement
woods. She said she saw a man enter
the woods about $50 o'clock Monday
afternoon and leave about 80. The men
were killed at 4 o'clock, the coroner said.
The woman said she didn't know who the
man was, but the officers believe she
recognized him and are trying to get q
complete statement.
BELIEVE LEFT HANDED MAN
DID KILLING.
A left-handed man did the killing, ac-
cording to all theories. He drove the
wedge in the tree az the men sawed and
killed them as they stopped at their
work. One blow on the forehead Of each
with a sledge hammer with which he
worked stunned the victims It is said
and they fell in their tracks. The crime
was completed by battering in the
skulls. Bement was found dead and
Willis died last night without regaining
consciousness.
Sheriff Bryan and other officers are
trying to link the crime with the man
who was seen climbing a fence into the
woods. They went to the place where
the woman said she saw the men enter
ing the woods. They found mud en- the
fence and started the dogs trailing from
there.
Feeling In the county is high Five
hundred men assembled about the Ben
net home last night trying to get some
inkling as to who the slayer could De
One hundred OF them remained until
dawn. None could assign any motive to
the crime, because the men were well
liked throughout the community.
They will be buried in a double funeral
