the physicians, Piel. one of tho victims
of the first accident, was reported also

In both accidents tire blowouts were
scribed as the rure. .although In the
case of Cooper a broken steering knuckle
waa said to have been the Immediate
reason for tils loss of control. After
sulking the ground outside the track,
the momentum of the car was so great
that It crashed Into the end of the grand

Alley went out of the race In the eighth
lap with engine trouble. Shrunk waa

trouble. De Palma and Henderson also
were having tire trouble. By the eighty

JITNEY DRIYERS
SEEK REFERENDUM
Circulation of Petitions for Recall
of the Ordinance Passed by
City Council.
PREPARING FOR INJUNCTION
. t.(
The jitney drivers expect to bestn tha
circulation rf referendum petitions for
recall of the ordinance Monday after
noon. Their attorney,- A. 1 Button, is
preparing papers to be filed in district
court, looking toward an injunction to
restrain enforcement of the new Jitney
ordinance. -
Superintendent KurcI's announcement
that he would allow the jitney drivers &
respite resulted in resumption of busi
ness yesterday afternoon.
One of the lesai contentions now is
whether tho oity council was acting

will also contend that the $2,000 liability
Insurance requirement la unreasonable
legislation.
No Snap Jitmnl.
Superintendent Kugel cf the poilce de
partment states he Is not disposed to
take snap Judgment on the enforcement
of the new Jitney ordinance, which went
into effect last Thursday.
I am willing to give the Jitney men
ten days to two weeks, that they may
make srrangements to comply wiilt the
ordinance," said Mr. Kugel.
The Jitney people, however, declare the
ordinance, if enforced, would drive them
out of business. They contend the bond
feature Is unreasonable.
A representative of one of the large
liability Insurance companies stated his
company does not want this business at
all on account of the risks.
Not C.oo,l Risk.
"There are too many exposures to the
business. It la not profitable as a busi

many hours on the busiest streets and
the business is not a good" rltk. Our
company Is not taking the business In
other cities." stated this bond man.
Another liability man believed that If
fifty Omaha Jitney men will take this
liability insurance a rate of about l-5
a year could be made for protection such
us is required by ..he ordinance. A Jit
ney man claims he asked for liability
insurance for himself and waa quoted a
rate of 1170 a year for 12.000 liability,
with some reduction if a volume of busi
ness can be secured-

Victory Celebration in Munich Takes
Character of Religious Service
MUNICH, Aug. 1 -(Via Berlin and Lon
don, Aug. 7.) A crowd of more than
100,009 persons, representing all classes
of society, assembled at evening today on
the hlstorlo Ioeoivt-'tlata of Munnlch
to celebrate th'e German victory at War
saw and Ivangorod.
The gathering was the greatest in the
history of the city. The manifestations
of patriotism were remarkable In them
selves, but they were overshadowed by
the evidences of a deep religious feeling
pn the part of those assembled. Aero
planes circled in the air of the Koeulg's
plats, and the hum of their motors could
be heard constantly above the sounds of
thousand of voices.
Every Inch of the great square, from
the Olyptothek to the art museum, and
from the propylaen to the Ardstrasse
was filled with crowds. With bared heads
the people stood In the light of the set
ting sun and before giving expression to
,t
bnntlonal pride In the-sueee of Oer-
went up to' Ood
The remarkable celebration began at
7;15 m the cvpnlllJti wtn the slmultsne-
ous ringing of all the church bells In
Munich. For two hours previous to this
time crowds had been streaming from all
directions to the Koenlg's plats, bedecked
in flags for the oocatlon. At 7:30 o'clock,
to the accompaniment of a military band
Greece Will Refuse
to Cede Territory at
Request of Allies
LONDON, Aug. 7. "Oreece will not
cede one Inch of territory to Bulgaria,"
was the substance of a reply made by
Premier Oounarts to a delegation of
Macedonian deputies who asked a state
ment relative to the purpose of the gov
ernment, says a Reuter dispatch from
Athens.
In the negotiations which have been
conducted by the allies of the quadruple
entente with Bulgaria In an effect to in
duce It to enter the war on their aide, It
has insistently demanded mat It be ceded
.that part of Macedonia which was
' awarded to Serbia at the close of the
; Balkan wars. It also sought to obtain
at least a portion of the Macedonia ter
ritory which came under tha Greek flag
In the same way.
Macedonia was a Turkish province until
the close of the Balkan war. The region
' embraces a medley of people, the chief
'elements being Slavs, Osmanlls and
Greeks. The Slavs are Bulgarians and
Serbs.
The statement attributed to M.
Gounarls is significant in view of the
fact that the British, French. Russian
and Italian ministers at Athens called
upon him Wednesday and made repre
sentations regarding the political situa-
' tlon. Their purpose was to gain the as-
I slstance of Greece.
Similar representations were made yes
terday by the representatives of the same
nations at Nlsh to the Serbian premier.
This was regarded as the second step In
the attempt to bring about a Balkan
agreement, so that Bulgaria. Roumanla
and Greece mey be numbered among the
allies.
Archbishop Ireland

ROME. Aug. . (Via Tarls. Aug. 7.)
The next consistory will be followed by

Benedict will create several new car
dinals, says the Agenxla Nastonala.
Archbishop Ireland of St. Paul. Minn.,
and Monslgnor Beccart, private chaplain
of King Victor Emmanuel of Italy, It Is
reported, will be among those added to
the College of Cardinals.

It was during this swelling volume of
song that four aeroplanes circled above
the square, the whir of their motors
Joining In with the sound pf the singing
of the crowd.
The Te Deum was followed by the sing
ing of another choral. Detachments of
police and firemen had been ordered to
the square to preserve order, but their

The religious note waa maintained to

Von Jagow Likely
To Lose His Office
LONDON, Aug. 7. The correspondent
at Amsterdam of the Exchange Tele
graph company bears from Berlin the
I early resignation of Gottlieb Von Jagow,
tne ucrman roreign secretary, u proD
able. The minister's retirement will be at
tributed to 111 health, but the real rea
son, . according . to the correspondent's
sdvlces, will be due to two blunders, the
first being the Austro-Hungarlan note
' to the United States regarding the ex
portation of munitions, which waa sent
to Washington without consulting him
and the second being the revelation con
tained In the Belgian gray book that
iierr Von Jagow urged the division of
the Belglun 'Congo between Germany and
France.
The foreign secretary's successor, the
correspondent sdds, probably will be Dr.
Alfred Zimmerman, under secretary for'
foreign affairs.
No confirmation of the rumor that
Herr Von Jagow is about to give up the
foreign portfolio has been received from
any other source.

In a peace conference and an author
itative announcement was made of
the views with which the Tnllcd
Ststes is approaching the problem in
the rsn-Amerlran conference. The
position of the I'nlted Rtates waa
officially stated as follows:
That neither Carransa nor any other
military faction In Mexico Is In control
of the country or ran be considered as
triumphant in the republic.
That tn real purpose of the revolu
tion waa accomplished a year ago. when
Huerta was overthrown and that ihe
Btrire which has continued since has been
over factional differences and has not
been In reality a revolution.
That It considers General Villa, while
financially weakened, still la an active
element In Mexican arfalrs. which must
be reckoned with In an adjustment
That the so-called clentlficos do not
enter Into the problem now because It
Is considered that the overthrow cf
Ituerta disposed of that element.
That the great portion of Mexico ts
not at peace, as General Carransa claims,
because fighting continues In many sec
tions from Tehuantepec to the Rio Grande
and from Vera Crus to Maaatlan.
That the first rroblem to be solved
In restoration of peace Is to find for
president a man who represents the cause
of the original revolution against Huerta,
but who does not necessarily represent
sny of the factions now at war.
This outline Is the first authoritative
statement of the basis upon which the
United States Is proceeding.

counsel, Charles A. Douglas, not only
proposes a peace conference with his ad

one upon whom the leaders now at war
could unite.
