JlTNEY CASE BEGUN
IN LOUISIANA COURT
Street Car Strikers Obtain Order
for Hearing on Serv-
ice Tuesday.

NEW ORLEANS, La, August IL
The court fight over operation of jit-
neys during the strike of union street
car men overshadowed all else today
in the controversy between the public
service and the union. which has ex-
perienced two major flares Of violence
since July 2.
To test the legality Of the police
action against operation of the "cour-
tesy" jitney with q tip, counsel for
Charles s. Upton, q driver, obtained
an order from Judge Mark M. Boatner
in Civil District Court. citing city OH
cials to appear next Tuesday and show
cause why the jitneyS should not con-
tinue. Acting Mayor T. Semmes
Walmsley and Theodore Ray, superin-
tendent Of police, were cited.
The. free jitney men claimed they
were not charging fares for service and
were being prosecuted illegally for
pickups under the city ordinance regu-
lating jitneys.
While the street cars were running,
pedestrians who sought motor car
transportation were reported picking
out routes by the number of tiny Amer
lean flags stuck on automobiles.
In the first big disturbance of the
strike two men were killed and street
cars burned in Canal street rioting.
In the other the city commissioners
were beaten by q mob and four persons
shot when strike sympathizers stormed
city hall. demanding o repeal Of the
anti-jitney law.

BLIZZARD BLOWING
OVER BYRD'S CAMP
Winds Keep Members of

blowing for two days, with the lowest
barometer yet recorded on this trip and
one IT the lowest ever seen in the Ant
ar0Zc. All day yesterday the wind
w4looped around the chimney pipes and
ventilators, playing tunes on them, and
it is still blowing intermittently today
The wind has at times been more than
SO miles an hour, with drift snow so
thick that it shut OF the vision as II by
a wall.
The barometer started to 90 down al
most straight yesterday and went to
27.82. What this means can better be
realized when compared with the
barometer during the Miami hurricane,
which reached 27.72. Although the
wind did not reach hurricane force
here, there is no doubt that somewhere
near us. probably out on the Ross Sea,
it was blowing great guns.
Few men went over the top between
the houses yesterday, preferring the
tunnel, for the only way to steer was
by occasional glimpSes of a cloud
covered moon and the direction of the
wind This morning 1t was easier 70
see and the radio towers were visible at
all times, but the first ones over to the
mess hall had to crawl through hole
about 2 feet wide and slide down a long
snow drift to the floor level.
AS usual the temperature has risen
and now registers below zero. We
have had much more wind than
Amundsen had during August and cor
respondingly higher temperatures so
far, although it is far from being

THREE ARE ACCUSED
OF COUNTERFE|T|NG
Prisoners Are Held While Ring
Leaders Are Sought by
U. S. Agents.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, August 17-After many
weeks Of warning by the Federal Re-
serve Bank against the prevalence of
large numbers of counterfeit $40 and
IS notes, secret service men brought to
book today three prisoners arrested
Friday night and accused of operating
among stores on Forty-second street,
between Seventh and Eighth avenues.
Though no estimate was made of the
amount circulated, the captors said the
sum was large and that many small
storekeeperS had been the losers. The
three men taken into custody, after
being Swallowed for hours, were de-
scribed by the operatives as merely out
side men engaged by the leaders Of a
large band to get rid Of the bogus bills.
The Government said the gang prob
ably totaled 20 persons.
The prisoners were Dominick Fusco,
20 years old, waiter, of 440 West
Thirty-ninth street; Ernesto Valentino.
alias Jimmy Demarco. "A, a tailor, Of
PSI West Fifty-fifth street, and George
Raney, IS, bus boy, of $50 West Forty
third street.
Federal Commissioner Francis A.
ONeill held them all for a hearing
September z, Fusco in $500 bail and
the others in $4,000 each.
When arraigned, Valentino Snarled,
why don't you get the men who got
the money!" Commissioner ONeill re-
torted, why don't you tell the TRUTH"
There was no answer. Bail was not
furnished. The prisoners declined to
give any information.
Secret service men said the counter
feits were poor specimens, though good
enough to pass most small Shopkeep-
ers. A number of the bills have been
posted in banks in this city to warn
customers. The Government agents
said they believed the gang had 40
plates. They said they were hopeful
Of capturing the leaders shortly.
