TO PREVENT HAILsToRMs.
Acetylene Is Used for This Purpose
in France.

Additional interest will be centered
upon the acetylene gas display at the
Pan American exposition because of
the fact that in France an acetylene
cannon is used hy the winegrowers to
prevent hailslorr>s. The explosive
agent used in the gun Is IL mixture of
acetylene and air and it is fired by an
electric ignter, The use of acetylene
in the gun is designed to obviate the
necessity of keeping supply of en-
plosive material on hand for charging
the gun. The cannon is connected
with an acetylene generator, and is
thus ALWAYS ready for use.
1t is stated that 65 pounds OF carbide
serves for about 1000 charges, and will
last six months. The valve between
the explosion chamber and the acety-
lene generator is controlled electrical
ly, and the operation of the gun con-
sists in closing the gas-valve circuit
for "A few seconds, then opening it and
closing the igniter circuit to fire the
charge. 1t is said that a battery of
guns may be installed. covering a large
area, and be fired simultaneously from
one station by single operator. In
sections of the United States where
hailstorms do great damage, a similar
acetylene gun might be made To do
good service.

A. story was printed yesterday to

RECORDER HAS POWER,
City Solicitor Watson Believes That
the City's Chief Executive Has
the Right of Veto.

City Solicitor George NJ. Watson has
been studying up the law for the past
week, for the purpose Of discovering
just what the city recorders power in
the way of vetoing measures passed by
councils is. and while he has not vet
expressed himself officially on the mat
ter. it Is known that he feels convinced
that the recorder has such a power,
and also that no measure passed by
councils can become a. law until It re-
ceives the recorders signature.
1t is expected that he will file a. writ
ten opinion with Recorder Moir this
week giving his Interpretation of the
law.
There Is no express provision in the
ripper bill giving the recorder power to
veto measures passed by councils, with
in the appropriation ordinance. Over
such items his power of veto is abso-
lutte, for while the bill provides that
such items may be passed over his
veto 'in the manner prescribed for the
passage of bills over the city recorders
Veto" it will be found by a careful ex-
animation of the bill that there is no
such manner prescribed.
1Ix-City Solicitor vosburg holds that
the ripper bill does not contain any
provision which can be reasonably con-
strued into even an implication Of the
power of the recorder to veto anything
except the appropriation ordinance. In
view Of this; City Solicitor Watson's
opinion will be watched with interest.
Recorder Moir, in a conversation had
with a Tribune man, said that he had
made no request upon the city solicitor
for an opinion on the question, and
that the latter had looked into it en-
tirely of his own volition. The recorder
said that he did not believe in the
principle of giving the chief executive
of city the right to veto measures
passed by councils. but stated that if
he was satisfied that under the law
this right became duty, he would ex-
ercise it.
"My belief" said he. sis that the ex-
ecutive and legislative departments of
the city government should be entirely
separate and distinct, and that the ex-
ecutive should have no power to veto
any measure passed by councils and
approved by the presidents of both
branches. II I had any say in the
shaping of the law, [ would so arrange
it as to give the executive no power to
either sign or disapprove of any meas

it is a good thing" &.
