GIRL AND THE BUS.

REFUSAL OF A LICENSE. THE WOMEN IN ARMS. "Referred to Finance Committee" was the short and sharp disposal at the City Council's meeting last night of a request by Miss A. Russell that she be supplied with reasons for the council's refusal to issue to her a 'bus conductor's license. The same matter waa the subject of a letter of protest, on principle, by the Women's Political League, which protest was received. Another communication which may have a bearing on the same point came from the National Council of Women, who requested the City Council to hear a deputation in reference to the question of the infringement of citizens' rights. ''They don't state what they want to address us about, except that it is the question of the infringement of citizenship rights," remarked the Deputy Mayor in moving to decline the request. "W c are not aware of having infringed any citizenship rights," declared Mr. A. J. Entriran, and he moved as an amendment that the National Council of Women he informed accordingly, with the information that the council will hear them if they state some definite point which they desire to raise. The motion of Mr. Baiirion was carried on the chairman's casting vote.
