It " will accept the findings of the League of Nations and will not listen to the requesis of this country.

And we did so through individuals that are a part of the present administration, not the eme which has gone by.

What is it? popular Answer fifths. to yesterday's: Three- neither amounts to anything in re- sardd to the local situation. Show a layout of our central green to any engineer, who has an unbiased mind, or to any one accustomed to handle a large number of people or machines and the chances are two to one that he will teli you that the logical route for autosnobiles and traffic i3 up the cast side of the green and down the west side, with both sides of tha street in one-way use. There have bcen several attempts made to make the east side of the park only a onae way street. There is no great virtue in the proposition. It is, to all effects and purposes a one way street at the present time. Pedestrians ahd trolley patrons, 'in addition fo cars, so block the lower end of it that the driver who ven- tures to cross the highly dangerous spot at this point, in order that he may cut off a hundred yards on his trip up, West Main street is tha ex- ception rather than the rule. At night, and at times when the traffic ia not heavy fhis ia done, but not so much at olhej times. Of course, ons may travel horth on the west sida if he wishes, but comparatively few s9 wish. The p-oper solution, one which will eventually be adopted, is the routing of ‘traffic about the park as the trol- leys now, run one:way on both sides. Thé¢ argument been gona into many times, most people understand it thoroughly, there is little need of discussing it here, again. Commen Council enactment of an ordinance enforcing one way traffic might be delayed until it is given a thorough trial. Supposing that those opposed and those in favor agreed to try out the proposition for one month, giving the police the power, to route the machines and then, i still op- posed, go hack to the old method. We believe that everyone would be so sat- isfled with results that there would be no opposition to' the ordinance when the Common Council finally made ready to adopt it. True thera would be no law compelling obedi- ence to the police but the stranger in tha city’ would not know thia and would fcllow the instructions and the ~itizen would just as soon observe the rule as not. Why not give the scheme a trfal? ‘Wo are coming to somg such regulation of. traffic" anyhow. has NO JITNEY INJUNCTION. Legal precedent in the matter of it ney owners versus the State of Con- necticut and cities in the state has been set in New Haven, where a_judge has found that the petition of a jitney owner for an injunction which would keep the city of New Haven and the state from interfering with the com- duct of his business to be granted. The owner has the right to appeal, but in such cases higher courts are not liable to upset the findings of the lower courts, As a matter of fact the jitneys cannot be operated without the permission of the Public Utilities commission under a law passed at.the last session of the State Legislature. Therefore a judge has little option, the law is clear and, being so, cannot be denied. is not Public opinion does mot sway the opinion of the' court, No matter how much the people of New Haven wanted jitneys, the decision was rendered upon the legal aspects of the case. If they wish the carriers they must somehow impress the fact upon the Public Utilities commission, unimpressionabie as it may be. Failing in this they frcm the next state elec- tion candidates, must choose, such persons as they believe will bring to pass the ousting of the present commission and the ap- pointment of men who will act in ac- cordance with what public seems to be. sentiment The commission is a body of men supposed to act in accord- ance with the desires of the public, at the same time having consideration of the general safety of the public and the service of the same.

MAY NOT BE ABLE TO ARREST SMALL Law / Presents | Quesiion of Whether Governor Can Be Taken ) Into Custody. Springfield, Ill., July 22.—Whether Governor Len Small, indicted by a Sangamon county grand jury on a charge of embezzlement of interest on state funds while &tate treasurer, is immune from arrest was to be decided by Circuit Judge E. S. Smith today. Governor Small's’ attorneys advised him to resist arrest on the ground that he would violate the constitutiop and betray the people by submitting. ! If the court decides the governor is immune from arrest as the state’s chief executive the capiases for his arrest may be held by the sheriff of Sangamon county would probably be withheld un- til the expiration of Governor Smalk's term of office, three and a half years hence. 1f the decision is adverse to the gov- ernor, it is expected the sheriff will be instructed by the state’s attorney to serve the warrahts. In the latter event the situation is fraught with possibili- ties ranging from peaceable surrender by the, governor to the calling out of state troops forcibly to resist serving of the warrants.

Lisben, July 22.—Rear Admiral Charles F. Hughes, in command of a squadron of the American Atlantia fieet which is visiting Portugal, visited Batalha yesterday and laid a wreath on the grave of Portugal's unknown soldiers. .Admiral Hughes was ac- companied by the Portuguese min- ister of foreign affairs and minis- ter of war as well as several of his staff officers. Admiral Hughes said after the cer- emony that he considered the day a memorable ons for the American navy and several members of his staff said the visiting fleet had not re- ceived such a brilliant and heart- warming reception in any other coun- try.

The official announcement to this effect added, however, that the government would continue to exercise an operating con- trol. /It is understood that Mexico is anx~ ious to terminate its operation of express companies, but does not con- sider the step can be taken until the railroads are returned to their own- ers. : of 7 !
