TAX|CAb TRUST
GETS A RESPITE
FROM HIGH COURT
Appellate Division Grants In
junction Pending Hearing
on New Law.

The Appellate Division Of the gu
preme Court to-day granted . tenn
porary Injunction to the Mason Sea-
man Transportation Company re-
straaning the Commissioner Of Ia
censss from enforcing the amended
taxicab ordinance which was passed
after . vigorous campaign for taxi
cab reguih ton c. a on by The Eve
ming World. No opinion was handed
down by Justice Scott. who made the
order. but the order itself prevents
tho city n enforcing the ordinance
until the merits Of the taxicab COM
pany's claim are fought out at a trial
in the Supreme Court.
The action OF the Appellate Division
revsrses the decision reached by Su-
prems Court Justice Cohalan. who
three weeks ago held that the ordi-
nance a. amended was legal In every
rsspect. Justice Cohalan also held
that the new ordinance was neither
nor unconstitutional. and
he further decided that all the points
raised by the attorneys for tho
Mason Seaman Company had been
ssttisd in the decision handed down
by the Court Of Appeals, In which
the Justices of the highest court In
the State unheld Justice Seabury's
decision approving the OIL taxicab
ordinance.
The amendment to the ordinance
placed all taxicabs In tho city under
the jurisdiction Of the Bureau OF Li-
censes and extended the scope Of the
bureau 90 that the city was given the
r,ght to exercise its licensing powers
over taxicabs operating from ferries.

An Interesting feature in connection
with the Appellate Divisions consid'

tice Henry d. Hotchkiss was himself

A Champion Farmer.

Dewey Gaines of near Arcanum, o.,
is the champion wheat grower of the
United States, although he is but II
years of age. He has not raised more
wheat than any other grower. What
makes him the champion is that on
five acres of ground. he has raised this
year 27S bushels of wheat, making
average wheat yield per acre in the
United States is 16 bushels.
Study of soil and seeding, and study
of everything entering into the most
careful and intelligent cultivation, ex-
plain the result. II 1t be said that
such intense personal application by
growers would be impossible on larger
tracts of land. the fact will have to
be admitted to some extent. Subdi
vision of labor would then be neces
sary, and there would be failure at
some points to apply the energy and
intelligence needed. But the success
OF Dewey Gaines makes 1t very plain
that improved methods of farming
of labor, could at least double the
average yield of wheat per acre.
Dewey Gaines has proved the same
thing in corn. A year or two ago he
raised 139 bushels of corn per acre.
which is so very far above the aver
age yield as to show conclusively that,
by applying approved processes of
agriculture, even negligence and un-
intelligence in a part of a large work
ing force could not make the average
corn yield fall below double what 1t
now is.
