afternoon with the 'ity clerk by Attor- j
ney A. L.. Button, for the Jitney opera-!
tor, render Inoperative, for a while at
leaat, two ordlnancea passed by the city
council fifteen day ago. The ordi
nance otherwise would hve been In
force today. Under the referendum law,
yesterday waa the last day for filing
petltlona to affect the ordinances In
question. I
The Jitney men object chiefly to tha
liability and occupation tax provielons '
which the council proposed to exsct 1
through these ordlnsnces. The driver
contend the. traffic will not bear the
toll specified by the council.
The petltlona filed are said to contain
I.1M signer and It I sis ted that l.T2 ,
signers would suffice to meet the legal !
requirement. The city clerk will check t
the name and certify to the city coun-j
clt. which body then will be required
by law to pass amended , ordlnancea r ,
aubmit the one recently paased to the '
voter at a special or general election, j
Ordlnancea satisfactory to the Jitney men
would obviate the necessity of submla-:
Ion to election.
The ordinance objected to by the pe
titioner require that Jitney having four
eats beside the driver shall furnish the :
city liability Insurance which will pro-.
vide for a maximum of tl.MM In esse of '
any one death or 110.000 for any one ac-J

pactty shall pay an annual occupation

missioner authority to approve or Sis

was explained at the time the ordinance
was passed, being to require Jitney to

Omaha Endeavor
Delegates Leave
for the Convention
LONDON, July 7. With the ex
ception of certain sectors between
the Vistula and the Bug, the Austro
Qerman rush In the eastern war cone
seems to be losing momentum. The
Russians have braced themselves and
are holding at most polnta along
their line, although Austria claims
lta armlea are winning near Kraanlk
and further east along the river
Vlepri In the neighborhood of Tar-
nogora.
Thla I a critical sector so far as a
northward blow at Warsaw I concerned,
but It I evident that the Ruaalana are
stiffening their resistance after their
long retreat, and the British press, for
the first time In weeks, takes a more
cheerful view of the astern situation.
Feat a re mt Report.
It la noteworthy that today Berlin of
ficial communication speak of a gain
only on the northern Poland front, leav
ing the southeaatern field entirely to the
Austrian, who. In their official state
ment, emphasise that an advance on the
center between the Vistula and the Bug
waa made by Auatrlan. '
The quiet which had prevailed on the
British front in Flanders so long haa
been broken by a British gain of Ger
man trenches to the north of Ypre. The
advance waa made after typical trench
warfare tactic, backed by French ar
tillery.
Thl part of the western front still
hold It reputation as a gas area. Field
Marshal French again recounting, how
the Germans have been bombarding
Ypre. with gas ahell.
The last ' twenty-four .' hours , have
brought many renewed rumor that the
Germans are planning to launch a new
ouenslve In the west, their aim being to
duplicate their Gallclan tactlce, and break
through to Calata at all coat. Reports
to thla effect came almoat slmultaneoualy
from Zurich, Brussels, Pari ' and . Am'
aterda m.
London paper give them prominence,
although how much la guesswork and how
much la baaed on tact . it I Impossible
to determine. According to i the Zurich
report ten German army corpa, who have
been . recuperating from the rigor of
the Gallclan campaign, are now moving
westward from tha Interior.
