TRAFFIC RULES GIVE
JITNEY BUS STATUS OF
CITY INSTITUTION
Regulation by Police Goes
Into Effect Today Driv
ers See Official Recogni
tion in New Move Many
Sections Want Service.
The first fortnnl official regulation of
lio Jitney bus Is In operation today. l?ol-
owing a cabinet conference In tbo office I
of tho Mayor, uirocior or mono surety
Porter 1ms Issued a set of rules to rov-
rn tlic Jitney for the solo purposo of
rotcctlns pneseiiRcrs against Injury and
1 t assisting the traffic men,
The regulations meet with the complete
pprovnt of the Philadelphia Jitney Afbo
elation and the 137 operators In the or
ganization have expressed u willingness
o abide by them. Hlclmrd Costello, pros
'dent of the association, said Hint ho was
glad tho Jitney Is receiving a formal
ttatus, because It will tend to eliminate
Irresponsible drivers, who enter tho bus
iness at night to carry Joy-riders.
The tabulation of police reports on the
number of Jitneys still goes nn. Owing
to the largo number of duplications In
the reports It will take sotnc tlmo boforo
tho exact number can be ascertained.
Superintendent of Pollco Hoblnson today
estimates the number at between 450 and
MO. He believes that this represents only
about half the number of Jitneys that
will bo placed In operation, and says that
It will probably bo necessary to establish
Jitney Btatlons, especially In tho congested
cctlons of the city. Bridges across tho
principal thoroughfares for pcdcstilans Is
not a remote probability, he said.
A new phase of tho Jitney craze Is being
developed. It hns been ascertained that
many chauffeurs nnd garage men tnko
tho cars entrusted to their care and Jump
Into tho Jitney business for nn hour or
so each night during the rush hour. Tho
owners of these cars nio believed to bo
unaware of the use to which their cars
nro being put. Already there have been
reported a numbor of thefts of cars for
temporary use as Jitneys. The cars aro
usually taken from before a hotel or ofTlco
and used for tho heavy traffic at the close
of tho day. In fear of detection the cars
arc generally left standing In a deserted
street after the driver has made a few
dollars.
Tho "Jitney fever" Is continuing to
spread through tho suburbs. Lansdowne,
Darby and tho southwest section nro
being supplied with Jitneys nt n rapid
rate Gormantown. Olney, Mount Airy
and tho northeast have several new lines
In operation. Tho transportation com
mltteo of the United Business Men's
Association will hold n meeting today at
1420 Chestnut street, to discuss plans for
the establishment of regular bus lines
throughout tho more Important sections
of tho city. Tho Business Men's Asso
ciation of Gcrmantown will hold a similar
meeting tomorrow, at which suggestions
for a guarantee to tho Jitney operators
of a proposed line from Gcrmantown to
Mount Airy will bo discussed.
The estimate of the number of pas
Bcngers carried dally In this city by Jlt
ncs Is steadily mounting. From pollco
and Jitney operators It may bo safely
estimated that 40,000 persons use tho
little cars Tho pollco believe that this
number will bo augmented constantly
until tho cold weather makes exposed
travel impossible.
Thero Is a rumor afloat today that the
P. It. T Is losing more revenue than has
been supposed and that tho company Is
gravclj concerned over the prospect of
still greater lohs. The Jitney men bellevo
that the yearly loss to the company, esti
mated nt tho present rate, will exceed
H.000,000. Another rumor had It tlmt tho
Transit Company is waiting until n scil
otn accident occurs in Jitney traffic,
when tho company will mako a strong
plea for legislation that will ultimately
eliminate the busses from competition
with tho company. No statement on tho
matter can bo obtained from tho P. It. T.

wltz, who Is suffering from measles. Tho
llttlo girl had to bo carried fioin a sick

control.
When AVelss was aroused by smoko In
his room on tho third floor ho called
his slslor and her friend, who slept on

Tho Philadelphia Operatic Society's Oth
and moit successful season was effectively
concluded by a splendid performance of
Gounod's "Kaust" In tho tho Academy of
Music last night. Tho French romantic
opera wns produced for tho fourth tlmo
In tho organization's nine years' efforts
In tho field of clnsslc opera. Added Inter
est wns given to Inst night's pcrformnnco
hecauso of tho Introduction of the Brock
en scene after the fourth net.
Tho large ballet was undoubtedly tho
feature of the performance. Tho young
dancers pirouetted through tin- griceful
figures with charm nnd tlnlntlness. No
less attractive was the premiere dnnseuse,
I.n Tctlte Mnrle. Albert W. Newman di
rector of the ballet, showed not only a
thoroughness In preparing the three
dances, but a distinct originality In their
evolution.
K Wlllnril Cornnian, Jr., made his debut
as a member of the society In' tho rolo of
Valentine. He was undoubtedly the best
of tho principals, all of whom, by tho
way. did very well. Mr. Cornmnn has an
attractive voice of real baritone quality
which ho uses with Intelligence. His
nctlng Is equally artistic. Miss Vlvlcnno
Segal was appealing In both olcc and np
penrnnco as Slebel.
Tho three principal parts wcro effec
tively sung by rieorge liothermel. Faust:
Mrs. Logan Fcland, Marguerite, nnd
Frederick W. Ayres, Mephlstopheles. Mr.
Ayres was by far tho best nctor. Tho
rejuvenated Martha was skilfully per
formed by Miss Mnrle Ioughney, while I,.
Wlltbnnk Keene was Wagner. Wasslll
Lops conducted with his characteristic
ability. Tile ensemble was good.
The society's 10th season will open In
October with a performance of Rossini's
"William Tell."
The Misses Grnfe's Itccital
Mlsi Alma Grafe. violinist, and Miss
Marlon Grnfc, pianist, gave n Joint recital
at Grinith Hall last night. For the piano
the most significant piece wns C. W.
Zcckwcr's paraphrase of Strauss' "Till
Eulcnsplegel"; for the violin tho corre
sponding place wnR held by Vleuxtemps'
concerto In T) minor. Unch nitlst played
three times, tho program for the piano
ranging from, Cyril Scott to Chonin, that
for tho violin from Snrasato to Pugnanl.
The eccentric rhythms of Cyril .Scolt
seemed nt times to puzzle Miss Marlon
Grafe. hut neither In thnt nor In the other
pieces she played was bIio at a Iois for a
fine, ringing tono nnd expressive shading.
Hor technique Is admirable. If not ex
traordinary, and her work Is In genernl
expressive Miss Alma Grafe's chief illf
f culty was In finding absolutely tho right
tono on her Ice) board. But her bowing
was both largo and free and her fingering
excellent. In tho adagio rellgloso of her
concerto she found means to utter real
passion and to achieve true effectiveness.

I'rcsence of mind and brariy on tho
part of Henry Swartz enabled him to savo
his entire family In a llro at his home, S0J

Pasershy saw smoke coming from tho
windows of tho Swnrtz home, and aroused
tho family hv shouting and pounding on

thought was for the safety of his 3- par

George W. Terwllllger is making a cave
