tee came to the defense of the
administration asserting that
quick action in Honduras had

that a few days ufter we entered the

JITNEY MEN'S COUNSEL
FILES INJUNCTION ON
NEW CITY ORDINANCE
City officials and jitney .men engaged In a game of checkers Satur-
day with the 'existence of the-jitneys as the stake.
Seven Jitney operators through hteir attorney K. C. Barkley. filed
a petition in district court asking that the city be enjoined from en-
forcing the terms of tbe ordinance adopted by popular vote January 19
and providing that Jitneys ceaseg ; il
operation April l. A. Bearing nas
been set for Tuesday;
City Attorney Sewall Myer an-
nounced that be has prepared - an-
other ordinance; which may be passed
by the council without submission to
the people and which will legislate
the Jitneys off all mutest in the city.
He has been-working on the prepara-
tion of this ordinance several days in
anticipation of the injunction suit
he . explained.
' In case tbe city is restrained from
enforcing the January 19 ordinance
the council is expected to pass the
one framed by Mr. Myer as a sub-
stitute. The jitney men claim In their peti-
tion that 33 dtfys elapsed between the
final adoption of the ordinance calling
the election and the date when the.
election was held and that constitutes
a violation of the charter provision
governing such elections.
Another contention . is that the
mayor failed to post notices at some
of the polling places SO days in ad-
vance of the election; that the form
of the ballot was confuting and mis-
leading and that the ordinance ia void
on the ground that in effect it grants
a franchise to passenrer carrying ve-
hicles of more than IS passenger ca-
pacity. The petition was signed by A. C
