Slumming parties nro made up nightly
by theso folk, and they go down to tho

or munch ears of hot corn, liberally
smeared with melted butter, with tho
same gusto as they would eat a meal
Irt a high-priced cafe. Even tho chop
suey restaurants on the Boardwalk, fitted
up In Oriental style and without tho
customary dirty surroundings of those
places, get considerable patronage at
nights from people who arc down here
for a good time, and want to do eomo
thlng out of the ordinary.

JITNEY REGULATION
ISSUE IN MANY CITIES
Vm-ied Methods in Course of
Development by Municipal
Authorities.
Tha Jitney war, which has been waged
throughout the Country since the muri
room Browl'n of tho new urban passenger
Industry, assumed more concrete form to
day as the battles carried on In the vnrl.
ous cities along local lines nre rapidly
h.lMf. hrmttrht tn n tmnrt In vfftW Of the
most recent developments and with the
subsidiary questions helng solved one by
one, a general solution of the entire prob
lem of JltneV regulation seems to be
coming In the not dlntant future.
Today tho Mayor of Rlchmondi Va., l
expected to sign nn ordinance restricting
tho Jltneya of t'nat city to designated
licensed routes for n B-ccnl fare, and re
quiring Indemnity bond from every
opcrotor. Charleston, S. C, has placed
hn reaulntlnn nt tltnevs In the hands
of the City Council, through nn ordinance
drafted by tho Mayor. In IndlannpOlH.
Terro Hnuto and other Indiana cities new
xntntitlnutlnna In II. n hnltlA liatWCeH tllO
Jltneya nnd the street nnd traction rail
ways havo arisen through a petition riled
by a traction company with tho Public
Scrvlco Commission, asking that body to
place tho Jitneys under Its authority ns
common carriers A hearing nns utcn
set for July 22, nt Indlonnpolls.
One of tho most Interesting features of
tho Richmond measure, which would be
come cffectlvo within 10 days, Is that a
licensed driver may carry passengers any
whero In tho city for more than flvo cents
only by contracting In advance when he
procures his license. Otherwise a Jltroy
must ply along ono of three designated
routes In tho city, charging a five-cent
fnro An Indemnity bond of J1000 and
500 for every additional car will bo re
quired. It Is understood that tho Jltney
men will contest tho ordinance, especially
the bonding section, In the courts.
Tho Charleston ordinance, drafted by
Mayor draco and subsequently amended,
provides Hint any flnnl appeal must bo
mado to tho City Council. The bill desig
nates certain routes and schedules to bo
filed with tho clerk of tho City Council,
nnd tho procuring of licenses nnd tho
filing of surety bonds. No Jitney will
bo nllowcd to depart from Its designated
routo to dlschnrgo passengers. Tho
amendments provldo for a llccnso fee of
J2 Instead of It per passenger, excluding
Instead of Including tho driver, and the
maximum total deposit required Is (26,000,
In the form of surety bonds.
Defeated in the last session of tho In
diana Assembly In nn effort to bring tho
Jitneys under tho control of the Public
Scrvlco Commission, tho Terro Haute,
Indianapolis and Eastern Traction Com
pany has filed with tho commission a long
petition nsklng for an order "declaring
persons owning, operating, managing nnd
controlling Jitney buses to be public utili
ties nnd subject to tho authority of tho
Public Service Commission " Tho Jitney
Is branded as a "substantial nnd destruc
tive competition of a now type," which
operates along tho Bnmo lines of tho peti
tioner without regulation nnd without Do
ing subject to tho heavy taxes and other
expenses of tho petitioner. The traction
company, which operates In several cities
of tho State, declares that unloss tho Jit
ney Is "bridled" It will be compelled to
limit its equipment and servlco or con
tinue to opcrnto at a loss The commis
sioners, who -will hold a hearing July 22,
believe that they hnvo tho power to regu

that they nro common carriers, It Is understood.
