J1TNEURS WILL FIGHT
FOR LIFE TO THE END
Continued from Tmtt On
what the director would do. Almost all
ii.n.ff. ae ml their cars as
Usual, but anxiously awaiting notification
from President Wlnntr in ,t,-n, -
not they may continue longer. A ma
jority of them, It Is said, will discontinue
ilVt 0y jmnolately upon notice from
the head of' their' organisation' to do so.
It Is pointed out that under tho terms
of the Jitney ordinance, there are sev
eral methods whereby motorcars for hire
may be operated on tho streets of the
city without coming under tho tcrrns of
the Uccno and bond requirements. The
ordinance that was passed excepts certain
classes, of vehicles from Its provisions, as
follows:
VEHICLES NOT AFFECTED.
.Jfi'H,,...A c!r operated exclu.lvetjr for ilfht-
.t.?'coJ'' A taxteab.or a motorctr for Mrs,
the chiirsea for which are regulated by a
nte.
Third. A motorcar operated from a.prlval.
caraEs where the deitlnatlon of the vehicle la
deteriMneU by the paisenser or paiicnsers
riding therein, and not operated over a Died
route.-
fourth. A 'motorcar operated from a public
Earaje' where the destination It .determined
y tho paucnter or panicer riding there
in, and not operated over a fixed route.
Mllh. A car operated from a fixed itand
in tho etreet where the deitlnatlon of the
car Ij determined by the paitenter or pa
enaen riding therein, and not operated aver
a fixed route. ' '
A SECOND ORDINANCE.
At the same time, when' Councils were
considering the Jitney ordinance, they
were' considering also an ordinance for
the regulation of motor-driven vehicles
for hire other than jitneys. This ordi
nance was supposed to Impose regulations
nnd license fees on taxlcabs. touring
cars and sightseeing cars. This ordi
nance, however, was not passed.
In this second ordinance were rather
elaborate definitions of just what should
bo considered a taxlcnb, a touring car,
or a sightseeing car.
A taxlcnb was defined as an automo
bile to which a taximeter is affixed, and
so constructed as comfortably to "seat four
persons as passengers. A touring car was
defined as an automobile so constructed
in mmfnrtably to seat from five' to seven
passengers.
j tilUlitseelng car was defined as an
automobile designed to carry seven or
mora persons as passengers from a fixed
locality' to points of Interest about the
city.
Ao none of these definitions have yet
become law, there Is considerable doubt
as to whether they can be mode to apply
In present conditions.
THE DRIVERS' ARGUMENT.
It is the contention of the jltneymen
that they are at liberty to operate cars
without complying with the "Jitney ordi
nance under any of the Ave conditions
previously specified and that they .may do
so either with or without the uso of such
signs as "sightseeing car," "touring car,"
"to hire" or other signs designed to at
tract the public attention to the fact that
their cars arc for public use.
In other words, they maintain that tho
Jitney ordinance applies only to cars for
hire which operate over a fixed route, the
operator of 'the' car and riot the passenger,
determining the destination.

A Tooth Came Out and Ho Stuffed
It InJHis Ear.
A little'dentlstry was performed on the
ear of Francis Luna, I years old. of 1935
Croskey street, at ,the Woman's Homeo
pathic Hospital this afternoon. Francis
had a tooth In his ear. It was a large
tooth, and when Francla reached the hos
pital he had a terrible earache,
The lad walked, up two steps the first
time bepre the pain got better, three steps
the second time and so on until he had
passed the portals. Physicians squinted
into his ear when be told them he had an
earache, but they could see nothing.
Finally they. Inserted the aural equivalent
of V pa'r f Pliers and out came the tooth.
Francis-explained that It fell out of his
moulh yesterday and he probably put It
into his ear for safe keeping uneon

too long for a busy man to abandon hl

Compliment to be mentioned on the list
of these citizens today,
"I ivas by no means complimented In
being listed with the other candidates.
He referred to tho "harmony list" of
eight, which among others Included tho
names of. Judge Barratt, ex-Director
lladdookt William B. Vare and J, Hamp
ton Moore.
"ONLT NOMINATE TOOLS."
"A mnn cannot take a nomination from
the Organization In this city and expect
to have ftn Independent administration,
lie would be only nominated to be a tool
of politicians. I admit, that the sugges
tion that. a nomination might come from
an Independent quarter Is a different
matter, but that Is so remote that It Is
S th. "Waring. At any rate I am
not fitted for the omce, never having
been In politics, and I am not a candi
date or nm t fairly to be conildered
as one."
Charles 8. Calwell, president of the
Corn Exchange National Bank, was em
phatic. In declaring his name should not
be considered.
"I would not be a candidate under any
condition." he said. "I have looked over
i. IL of tno U names suggested, and of
all those I think former Governor Stuart
pest fitted for the choice of Mayor. He
Is experienced In politics and Is hbnest.
A great deal of money Is to bo spent by
the next administration and something
more than a business man will be needed
for tho office. Mr. Stuart has tho re
quirements, being both a business man
and Well Versert In hnnrltlntr ntlll-1 -I
uatlons."
CUMMINGS NOT A 'CANDIDATE
J. Howell Cummlngs, president of the
John B. Stetson Company, said he had
not considered his "possible candidacy,"
and would not do so. No one talked to
him about the matter, nnd It was news
to him when he saw hla name on the list
of fourteen. He did not want to be con
sidered a candidate.-
"Would you, If the public demand for
your candidacy became widespread, pre
fer to run as a Republican or as an In
dependent?" t "I have always been a Republican," he
said. "But as I am not; considering any
possibility of ,a nomination, why should 1
talk about the Independents"
COMMENT OF RUE AND KOLB.
Levi L. Rue, president of the Philadel
phia National Bank, said he would not
discuss the matter. -Louis J. Kolb said
his position hod beeri made clear In re
centBtatements, and that he had nothing
tO'add to them. He was said at one time
to have had the original support of the
Vares. His name was dropped from con
sideration by the Organization leaders a
month ago.
Ot the others on tho' list the following
are on vacations; Sheldon Potter, Theo
dore Lewis, Oeorge Wharton Pepper and
John Frederick Lewis.
The letter of the. business men follows;
"Gentlemen: The undersigned, repre
senting recent Informal conferences of
Philadelphia business men concerning the
forthcoming mayoralty election, desire to

the transcendent Importance- of the busi
ness Interests of the, city involved In the

The object of this communication Is to
emphasize the vital necessity of present
ing candidates for the mayoralty who are
qualified' by business experience and abil
ity to properly conduct tho corporate af

Thompson streets station, and was held
In JC00 ball for a further hearing August

meanwhile, are to determine If the ani
mal Is vicious. George said that the bear
never exhibited such tendencies before.
Mounted Policeman neyhlll, one of the

he spurred his horse forward, but a
woman crossed his path and neyhlll
reined In suddenly. He was thrown over

nearly ncalpcd. '
The rival evangelists are William An
derson and Milton fJrotz. Each has a big
revival tent and numerous small ones.
The gipsies, .have about 20 tents, so, that

Blaze in Telephone Condulta
FlUst North American iJulld
Ing With Smoke.
Fire tn the telephone conduits of the
North American Building, Broad and San
som street, drove most of the tenants from
the structure and put the telephones out
of commission this afternoon. A crowd,
attracted by the smoke that poured from
the Windows of the 20-atrjrv hnlMlna-
jammed Broad street and himpered the
work ot firemen.
Former Judge James Oay Gordon,
n.w'S? "!5e U ?l- m Uotth American
Building, first noticed the fire. He noti
fied the superintendent of the building,
and a few minutes later several fire
engines and a chemical company, arrived.
They fought the blaxe from the. third
JO the eighth floor by attaching hose to
the standplpes In the building, and turn
ing the streams Into the conduits.
Spectators at the wlntlnnra. nnA !t,.
In the streets, were badlv lrn.-li...i t,.n
the firemen turned a stream of water
against the outside of the building. It
was not until about a ton of water fell
upon them thnt the members of the
"surbstone cabinet," discussing the war
Jn front of the newapaptr"a bulletin board,
dispersed,
Many occupants of the building; de
clined to uso the elevators when they
found the structure filling with smoke,
and ran down tho stairs. There was ho
panic however, most of the girls and

SERBS READY TO CEDE LANDS
TO BULGARS; GREEKS HOLD OUT
Athens' Attitudo Blocks Plans to Re
vive Balkan League.
LONDON. Aug. .
Intense Interest Is felt here In the dip
lomatic negotiations in the Balkan cap
itals, reports from which Indicate that
Servla Is willing at last to cede Mace
donia to Bulgaria, but that the Greek
Government Is now opposing the sugges
tion that she should return Kavala. the
seaport In the vilayet of Salonlkl, to Bul
garia. It If thought, howover, that this oppo
sition may be changed when M. Vent
ztlos returns to power, which Is expected
when the Greek Parliament reassembles.
M. Venlzelos offered Kavala to Bul
garia when he was Premier simply In
return for her continued neutrality while
Greece went to the assistance of tbe
Allies against the Turks, but King Con
stantlne put his foot down on the whole
policy, and the political crisis which re
sulted In the resignation of the Venlzelos
Cabinet followed.
