Atlentle fit), April IS.
Blc hotel owner and business men
have Jumped Into the fray over the pro
posed resumption of Jitney sen Ice on At
lantic nenue, taking the side of the
bankrupt Atlantic City and Shore Itall-
wny, which still I under receivership ns ,
a result of former Jitney competition
which cost the company more than 80,
000 In one year.
Transportation committees of the
Chamber of Commerce and the Hotel
men's Association In Joint session
adopted resolutions to he presented to
the City Commission at today's hear
ing on the Jitney bill, protesting uKalnst
reopenlnsr the city's main business
thoroughfare to nickel motors and
urging rigid regulation of Jitney service
elsewhere In the city.
Business men's recommendations In
clude the painting of the rate of fare
nd the route of Jitneys upon the side
of each conveyance and the placing of
the license number upon the headlights
for the protection of visitors, whom It Is
asserted have been victimized by uncon
scionable drivers. Rome of tlie latter are
alleged to have transformed their cars
from Jitneys to laxlcabs by the simple
process of changing the sign, automati
cally Jumping their tnrtrfs nbout 20 per
cerit
The transportation committees urged
also that the present duplication of serv
ice between Atlantic City and Pleasant
Tllle by the Atlantic City and Shore and
the Atlantic city and Suburban I.lne,
both of which are under the same man
agement, be abandoned by running the
Suburban's cars over the tracks of the
West Jersey and Seashore Railroad to
riaasantvlllc. It Is asserted that this
arrangement would obviate any necessity
for an advance of rates, for which tlie
two lines now are appealing to the State i
1'tllity Board. The hearing Is scheduled 1
for April 30 In Trenton.
R. Cameron Hlnkle. counsel for the
Atlantic City Jitney Association. In a I
countery-reply to the contention that I
a return of jitney competition on l
Atlantic avenue will wreck the Atlantic
City and Shore. Railway hopelessly, said i
that he knowB-capltallFts who ore will
ing to take over the shore trolley fran- i
chlses on thirty "days' notice and operate
the line profitably In competition with
H0 Jitneys, the limit prescribed In tne,
bill before the City Commission.
Mr. Hlnkle made the condition that
the trolley line would have to be taken
ever at a fair apprlsal.
TRY SOCIALIST EDITORS
" ON CHARGE OF SEDITION
Editoriafs in the Masses Put in Evi
dence Before Federal
Court
New Inrk, April 18 At the trial nf
Max Kastman, former editor of The
"Masses, and four associates, excerpts
from Issues of the magazine in wjiluh
conscription was assailed as "an act of
Jjfranny" and resistance of the draft was
counseled, were read Into the record.
The defendants are charged with con-1
ppiracy to obstruct the draft law.
Much of the afternoon session of I
the trial wan occupied In argument of a
motion by counsel for the defense for
dismissal of the charges against the I
Masses Publishing Company, which was
also Indicted. It was contended that a
corporation could not be Indicted under
the law on such charges, but the Court
denied the motion.
When copies of the June and July,
1917, Issues of the magazine were of
fered In evidence, Eastman's attorneys
.challenged their admissibility on the
ground that they had been printed, and
distributed to subscribers prior to the
enactment of the espionage act which
penalised the publication or seditious
'matter such as the fTovernment main
tains the Issues contained
They were admitted by the Court.
Assistant District Attorney Barnes then
.presented evidence tending to show that
after passage of the espionage act on
June 15 last year copies of the June and
July Issues were mailed to subscribers.
Among the passages fiom editorials
"and contributions contained In these
Issues which were read to the Jury were
the following:
"It Is not a war for democracy. It
did not originate In a dispute about
'democracy and It Is unlikely to termi
nate In a democratic settlement."

lars, part of an Infantry regiment that
had been included In Persh(ng's column
In Mexico. However, the Increase in the
elze of the companies to war strength
and other factors had brought In many
new men. so that about 70 per cent of
the battalion were recruits. A great
number of them were southerners, and
It would come out In various days One
of them from a. feud section told one
of the officers that he'd been In a good
many wars In his lifetime, but that
this was the nrst, public war he d ever
been In. Another, a moonshiner, was
.much pleased with the steel helmetB
and remarked that when h got out in
the hills a, home he could lie out on
the ground and no sheriff peppering at
him with a shotgun coujd hurt him.
Teaching the men how to speak
French so that their struggles when they
get overseas may be, easy as possible
has been an Important part nf the edu
cational work of tha Y. M. C. A. In this

KNOX REACTIONARY,

"Notoriously Conservative,"
Says Miss Stevens Blames
Democrats for Delay
WiKlilngloii, Apt II IS.
Senator Philander I". Knox, of Penn
sylvania. Is branded as one of "the no
totlntisly eonservatlve and reactionary
members" nf the Uepubllcan partv In
the Senate. In i, statement Issued hv
.Miss Doris Stevens, of New York, legls'
latlve chairman of the National Wom
an's party. .Miss Stevens charges Knox
whii Heine one of the six Uepubllcan
.Senators who are delaying the pas
sage of ihe Federal woman suffrage
amendment
Hut the real hiame for the delay In
passing the woman suffrage amendment
In the Senate Is entirely upon the Dem
ocrats, nccnidliig to .Miss Steven, who
has Just succeeded Miss Anno Martin,
candidate foi Fulled States Senate, from
N'vada, ns legislative chairman of the
National Woman Suffrage party
While six Uepubllcan Senators are
opposed to Federal suffrage amendment,
there nie twenty-lwo Democrats op
posing It, mi.vs .Miss Stevens, although
the Democrats arc Insisting that the
Uepuhllcans are blocking Its passage.
"Mote than Iwo-tlilrds of the Itepub
lleans stand pledged to the passage nf
the t'cdcral woman suffrage amend
ment." said Miss Stevens, "and only
half of the Democrats, yet a Democrat?
Senate leader yesterday naively said
lo me, 'It Is up to the Itepubllcans ; we
have done all we can: when the Hepub.
llcnns give enough voles lo pass It we
will bring It up." "
"The implication of Huh suggestion
Is certnlnly very Haltering. What Is
more. Ihe Uepuhllcans are accepting
Ihe opportunity of liberal leadership
handed to them by the Democrats and
are making their support or the meas
ure evident to the progressive men and
women of the nation.
"tin the other hand liv their reluc
tnnee and delay the Democrats are
endangering President Wilson's foreign
policy, announced In ills own statement
before the vote was taken In the House,
when he said that this country could
not afford to take reactionary stand
on this measure, the passage of which
was essential to harmony with our
Allies. Uememberlng this statement every
one realizes that those who opose the
amendment Hie laying the sincerity of
our whole war policy open to tloulit and

PARDON BOARD FIRM
IN BERGGREEN CASE
Robbcl' Of Benefactor Appeals
in Vain for Release From
i Prison
Ilarrltburg, April 18.
The .Stale Hoard of Pardons, which
frequently has adversely criticized the
sentences of courts, yesterday In numer
ous Instances held that, Inasmuch as a
Jury and a Judge had heard all tho
evidence In the ease before It, It would
be folly to upset the verdict and the
findings of the court.
f.'nsn after case Involved foreigners.
Lieutenant Unvernor McClaln remarked,
when counsel produced nfler-dlscovered
evidence, that this kind of evidence from
foreigners, which apparently was easy
to get, was of little credence.
The first case was that of Ttobert Jen
kins, Lebanon County, convicted of as
sault with Intent to kill and sent-enced to
four years In the Eastern Penitentiary.
He died there ten days ago.
The case of Harold Bcrggrcrn. of
Philadelphia, for thirty years a sailor,
who In charged with robbing, nssaultlng
and extorting money from his benefac
tor, James Smith, wan taken up Just a
year after the case was first called to the
nttentlon of the board,
Fred J. Hhoycr, City Treasurer of
Philadelphia, represented the man. He
said Smith, who hired Tlerggrecn, a
skilled mechanic, for JIB n month, was
not much of a benefactor.
Smith, II was said, agreed to the par
don of the man If he returns to Aus
tralia, one of the many places he calls
home. Assistant District Attorney Fox.
of Philadelphia, opposed the pardon, con
tending that Bcrggrcen committed his
deeds in cold blood The board again
refused a pardon.
The board refused the application for
a commutation of the death sentence of
John O. Chrlstley, of Harrlsburg, who
murdered his wife. Thl case. vni heard
