Hylan Suggests Special
Court for N. Y. C.. Custer
Important Civic Questions Said
to Depend on Regaining
Title to River Bank

Mayor Hylan yesterday suggested
to Corporation Counsel O'Brien that
he make application to Governor Smith
to assign justice of special term
of the Supreme Court to hear the
eJectment suit brought by the city
against the New York Central Rail
road to recover the land now occupied
by the railroad along Riverside Drive
The Mayor suggested this procedure in
view of the fact that the city recently
put in its side of the case before
Justice Guy in the Supreme Court
when the court discovered that it had
vested interest in trust estate
which held New York Central securi-
ties and therefore was disqualified
from trying the case.
"All plans for improvement Of the
freight transportatio situation along
the Hudson River waterfront are de-
pendent upon recovering possession OF
the land belonging to the CITY," said
avenue track removal matter cannot
be settled until this case is disposed
Of. Possession of its property, the
future of the commercial prosperity of
the city, proper use of the Hudson
River waterfront, elimination of the
congestion of streets on the West Side
settlement of the public market ques-
ton and saving of human life depend
on the final disposal of this litigation
II would ask that you take this up
with the proper authorities and re
quest that justice be assigned who
has no connection with the New York
Central, and press the case for i'm
mediate trial. If you fail to secure 9
speedy trial make application to Gov
ernor Smith to assign a justice to q
special term of the Supreme Court to
hear this case"

primaries received 600 votes. The
Senator's statement says in part:
Il have been asked whether | am to
continue the campaign. My answer is:
have been nominated and will not
commence now to dodge an issue or
compromise principle.
"The people understand that the
bosses and the influences in control of
the Republican party do not intend to
compromise. These influences expect
and openly boast that the national
situation will pull them through this
time. They intend to use this oppor-
tunity and try at any cost to make
their position permanent by the re-
peal of the direct primary law Their
platform has pledged their candidate
to it.;

one of the most profitable investments,
financial and commercial, ever made
will be the $2S,O0O,OOO it is estimated
the tunnel will cost. I believe the time
is not far distant when this tunnel will
be followed by others"
Senator Calder spoke of the Identity
of interests of the states of New York
and New Jersey and declared that the
successful completion of the tunnel
will lend stimulus to additional prof.
ects designed to link up the CONNER
cial and economic life of the two com
monwealths, not only to their mutual
advantage but to the advantage of the
whole nation.
Governor Edwards predicted an era
of unprecedented development for New
York and New Jersey as a result of
the tunnel project and congratulated
the people of both states upon the be-
ginning Of the work.
Mayor Hylan dwelt at length upon
the commercial advantage that will
accrue to both states He predicted
that the tunnel will prove vital
fac or in the reduction of the cost of
living in New York by bringing the
New Jersey and lberating it from
many of the disadvantages of cross
river traffic.

Greedy eagerness filled the little
eyes of Buster Bear as he stood up
and put his great arms around the
dead tree, which was the second Bee
tree Farmer Browns boy had found.
1t was very old tree, and it had been
dead a long time. Also Buster knew
by the sound when he struck it that
i. was hollow for most of its length.
1t was tree to pull or push over and
not to climb.
Buster hooked his great claws into
it and pulled with all his great
strength. He heard the dead old roots
creak and crack. Then he pushed with
all his might. So, pulling and pushing
and pushing and pulling, Buster worked
and the tree swayed this way and that
way. 1t creaked and cracked and
snapped, and finally over it went with
Right then and there Buster Bear
forgot all his troubles. Yes, sir, Buster
Bear forgot all his troubles. He forgot
You see, when that hollow tree split
open Buster found it packed-simply
packed--with masses of honey-flled
comb. Talk about greediness! You
should have seen Buster Bear.
With his great paws he scooped out
honeycomb dripping with honey and
crammed it into his mouth. With it
went lot of bees, but Buster didn t
mind He didn't mind in the least.
He ate comb, honey, bees and all. Of
course he was stung, for Of course
those bees were aroused and angry.
But it was night and cold, and they
were cold and confused. Buster paid
no attention to them at all. He didn't
mind them any more than if they had
been so many tiny black flies. He
could have stood ten times as many
stngs for the sake of that delicious
golden honey. To be sure, he growled
little and whined a little when no
was stung on some particularly tender
place, but he would simply slap 1T that
place with sticky paw and go right
on stuffing himself.
Such sight as he was! Honey was
smeared all over his face and paws
and over a good part of his coat, for
that matter. But he didn't care. No,
sir, he didn't care. He was happy. as
happy as it is possible for a Bear
ever to be. Could you have watched
