It is understood that there will be a clash before the committee on ju- diciary in the legislature tomorrow With the trolley company on one side and the jitney interests on the other, the measure which is likely to ca this result being one which provides that the owner of a jitney he com- pelled to furnish a bond of $3,000 for each car in use as a guarantee of pro- tection to any person who may be in- jured. It is stated, however, that | Wherever any such obligation has been imposed on the owner of a jitney that he has been forced out of business and it is thought that this is the main ob- dect of the present bill. It does not require a very retentive memory to recall the contest between the consclidated railroad and the old Central Railway and Electric company over the right to build a trolley linc from New Britain to Hartford, the rairoad claiming that the move would be paralleling the road to Hartford I'and that was against the The case was in the courts for some time and the decisions were always against the trolley company. The matter was finally taken before the legislature, the trolley company employing George I’. McLean, now United States senator, to look after its interests. During the hearing before the railroad committee | it was claimed by the railroad com- ! pany that the trolley line would in- jure the business of the railroad, | while the trolley company contended law. L that the new business created would | make the profit the company expect- {ed. The trolley company won before | the legislature, the line was built and | in time it became the property of th | consolidated road. Both corporations | are making money and there is a no- | ticable similarity in the two cases. The jitneys are carrying passengers who perhaps never used the trolley line, the latter may live in such a | locality as precluded the possibility of they patronizing the trolley even if | they so desired and the fact that { they chose the jitney as a carrier does not in any way interfere with the bus- iness of the trolley mo matter what | the officers of the latter may think | about it. Compelling the owner of a jitney to furnish « bond of $3,000 will | in no way provide better service or | even suggest better service so that | | the only interest the trolley company ! | can have in the case is a selfish one | and the legislature of the state Connecticut. ghould not permit it to | interfere. If a bond of $3,000 is forced | on the jitney owner it may probably drive at least some of 'them of That would be a benefit to the trolley company but it wouid be an injury to those who use that service and the legislature ought not to stand for it. The trolley compaay has had enough of legislative privi- leges granted it without being allowed to strangle what they may even con- sider a competitor. 1f the legislature is wise it will lédve that matter decided by the towns in which jitneys operate. of | out to be the MAGNOLIAS IN BLOOM.

The $60.000 libel of William Barnes against ex-President Roosevelt is on today at Syracuse and the pre- dictions are that much soiled political linen will be washed before the pro- ceedings are brought to a close.
