BID YOU "JITNEY"
)
DOWN YESTERDAY
New Lin. Established nn Tarn.m
j Street So Thriving Business
! . at the Start.
FIVE AUTOS ARE NOW USED
TVhen Jitney bus twice waa wturtM
yesterday on Farnam street with two
regular antos, all nut two of the people
going down town at 7 a. m. took street
cara rather than try the Innovation on
its first jaunt
However, F. r. Anderson, promoter of
Ithe ba scheme, declared that his two
busea had averaged $1.55 per hour on
three round trips, that the Idea was prov
ing a. big success, tlint since starting the
two buses they had not been able to
haul all the patrons who wanted to ride,
and that four autos wiU be put on the
Farnam line Monday, with eight other
buses running in other parts of the elty.
from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m.
Although everybody was discussing the
"Jitneys," public opinion seemed to be
ivinefi nn inn anmrr Mnm nniAren
dissatisfaction with the- atreet car com
pany: others averred that they preferred
the street cara to the Jitneys.
Par Attention to Jitney.
"We are busy running our street cars
to give continued good service,'' declared
General Manager Leuaslrr of the traction
company, when asked about the Jitney
bust business. "Wo are paying no atten
tion to the jitneys; they don't bother us."
Concerning the rumor that the street
car company might interpose legal ob
starls to the opening of the bus service,
Attorney John L. Webster, of the com
pany, said:
f"We don't give a whoop. The rumor Is
. Jig Joke.. If tho public wants to pay
av nickel to ride in an open, unhealed
automobile,' rather than a warm street
car, let 'em do It. We should worry.
"But when the. publlo treats the Jitney
bus people fairly and ob' an equality
with the street railway company, re
quiring them to get a. franchise, pave
their routes, pay occupation taxes and
so forth, as our company Is doing, the
Jitney bus business will experience a big
explosion.'
"Tho insufficiency of the scheme is
shown by the fact that the buses run
only along the( street railway tracks.
Patrons of the 'bus line will have no re
4 course in case- of accident, for the pro.
f motors are liable to prove Irresponsible,
whereas the street car company is a
responsible corporation' and offers re
course in case of any accident"
General offices of the Jitney promoters
have been opened In the rooms of their
' attorneys, Morrison tt Crow, room 406
I State Bank building. Anderson an-
nounces. He says he believes the people
4 are for the idea and that it will be a
great success.
Lang Joins Anderson.
F. O. Long, who started out to be an
forces with Anderson, the latter says.
A. Schaffer drives his five-passenger car.
The other Jitney running is a seven"
passenger machine, operated by Ernest
Bernstein. Both ran between 'Fortieth
and Sixteenth or Fourteenth on Farnam
street, making a round trip every twenty
minutes."
Mra.J. Turney Haines is operating an
independent Jitney car cm Farnam street,
and says she will donate the proceeds to
. the City Mission.
Omaha Men Speak on
Hiver Barge Line at
St. Joseph Meeting
i
St. Joseph business men are buckling
right Into the work of planning a Mis
rourl river barge line, according to J. W.
Gamble, T. B. Coleman and Robert H,
Manley, who were at- St. Joseph Friday
night, attending a big meeting of busi
ness men there to talk over the' pro
ject
The three Omaha men were called
upon to express their opinions of river
lavlgatlon, and they responded with
speeches that reflected the enthusiasm
of Omaha in the Missouri river naviga
tion project. St. Joseph has placed the
matter practically, in the hands of . the
Commercial club of that city, which Is
to go ahead with whatever plans are
made In the future.
In Omaha, the commtftee appointed at
Omaha's . mass meeting a few weeks ago
Is steadily working up data regarding
some details that must be considered be
fore the project can be gene ahead with.
The committee is collecting all the avail
able Information regarding the amount
of tonnage Omaha ehlppera would care
to handle on the river. Thla Information
will be reported back to the trade ex
tension committee of the Commercial
club.
Bridge Schedule
Across River May
Be Changed Some
Rearrangement of train schedules over
local and nearby bridges across the Mis
souri river is rumored as a probability,
because of the present enforcement of
rigid safety regulations on the Union
, Paclflo bridge. Trsfflc men of the rail
roads are said to be planning to make a
protest against the new rules, which are
alleged to seriously delay train service
In Vand out of Omaha. When the pas
senger rush to the California exposition
comes through Omaha, it Is said that
"something wiU have to be done," either
in changing the bridge rules or bringing
the Illinois Central bridge at Omaha aud
the Burlington bridge at Pacific Junction
into more general use.
The safety precaution which is rumor l
to be making the traffic men uneasy. Is
that only one train shall be allowed on
the Union Pacific bridge at a time, be
cause of the great weight of the modern
trains, especially double-header freight
drawn ty the new mogul engines. The
result complained of is thst the precau
tion delaya all trains crossing the river,
and even now sometimes causes conges
tion at each end of the bridge.
