TROLLEY STOPS GIVE
COURT kNOTTY PROBLEM
Fight Between City Depart
ments Argued. but Judge
Reserves Decision.

Argument on whether the Street
ard Sewer Department or the Board
of Public Utility Commissioners has
the authority to regulate trolley stops
on the streets was heard BY Judge
Hastings In Municipal Court today.
The argument consumed almost two
hours. Decision was reserved.
Judge Hastings remarked that az
the lawyers went into a more detailed
discussion the greater seemed the dif-
ficGIfy Of rendering a decision. City
Solicitor Huxley flied briefs for the
Street and Sewer Department and
Philip r. Garrett and Ayers stocllley
for the Public Utilities Board.
Mr.. Huxley contended that the
Street and Sewer Department was
given the right of controlling the
streets from building line to building
line and that the only sen1blance of
authority in the matter. as far as the
Utilities Board is concerned, was taken
from the words safe and adequate"
in the law creating the board. He
hinted that the matter might be taken
to the Superior Court. He asked the
judge TO take into consideration what
rhe circurnsta noes would be II the
Street and Sewer Department nassed
a resolution prohibiting an cars TO
stop AZ the northest corner OF Tenth
and Market streets. Such a resolution
had been introduced at a meeting of
the board. he said
- fseurss~i for rfse Utilities Board ~ssr,
naftted that the act Of the Legislature
which created the board in 1911 took
away from the Street and Sewer De-
partrlent the right to control the
movement Of cars BY the clause which
gave II the authority to compel safe.
and adequate service from transpor-
tation companies.
The test case was brought into court
BY the arrest Of William II. Colt.
motornan On charge Of violating
traffic rules.
Section IS the act which is alleged
to have been violated, orders the driver
OF any vehicle to stop or proceed ac-
cording 20 instruction of a member of
the police force. Philip Z. Garrett
contended that the resolution was not
reasonable and that il it were literally
the courts would be contin-
uaily crowded with offenders. Neither
the Street and Sewer Department nor
the Utilities Board is supreme. Mr..
Garrett, argued. but they are co-or-
dinate.

THINKING WOMEN

FRANK CANDIDATES
Not Satisfied With Mr.. Harvey's
Evasion as to Citizens
Charter.
Mr.. BAYARD'S STAND is
SATISFACTORY TO THEM
Appeal Issued to Women Who
Want Better Government
TO Vote Accordingly.
WITHOUT REGARD TO
PARTY AFFILIATIONS

That thinking women of Whining
ton who have the future welfare oi
the city at heart. have confidence only
in those candidates for city office al
the coming municipal election who
frankly favor the Citizens Charter
bill. is evidenced by an appeal that was
issued today. signed by two of the most
substantial women in the city, Miss
Ellen Samworth and Miss Helen 5.
Garrett
In the appeal-and they ask for the
cooperation OF all women who want
good government, regardless Of parti-
san polltics-it is pointed out that
there Is only one thing at stake-a
better government for Wilmington.
Partisan politics are thrust into the
campaign only because the Republi-
cans in the last Legislature refused TO
grant the request of 81, 1000 voters here
to eliminate partisan politics. as far
as municipal government is concern
ed. The letter states that Mr.. Bay
ards position in the matter is clearly
stated, while that Of MIR. Harvey is
not Following is the text OF the APP
peal:
Wilmington. Del. May 81, 1921.
To the Women Voters of Viii
mington:
For the purpose Of clearing the
way for better government in Will
mlngton. we wish 10 submit the
following thoughts for your con-
alteration:
IL is clear that a partisan
form Of charter. under which the
city's administrative officers could
be elected with regard TO their fit-
ness and without regard TO their
political affiliations. would furnish
the best business conduct of muni-
cipal affairs.
Unless both candidates for may
or stand unequirocally for the
above proposition. the election OF
candidate whose position Is
cquivecal would seriously retara
the movement for a non-partisan
charter at the next session of the
Legislature. by reason OF the in
ference. which might be- drawn
by partisans Of either party. that
the voters had at this election
either rcpudiafed II. or were in
different TO IL.
Mr.. Bayard's position is clearly
stated to be for the Citizens Com
u1ittcc charter, and especially for
it's non-partisan features. Mr..
Harvey. while stating he stands
for a new charter which viii give
better government. refrains from
affirmativcly and unequivocaliy
stating that he is now for the
Citizens Committee charter and
it's non-partisan features. The
organiza ton which defeated the
charter movement in the last
Legislature is now backing Mr.
Harvey. The ORGANIZATION
rnoufhpiece. Mayor Taylor. states
publicly that he is against the
Citizens Committee charter.
We earnestly ask that you cast
your vote in a way 20 help. and
not retard. the movement for bet
ter and non-partisan municipal
conditions which all our people
should want.

SAYS NATIONS
SHOULD WORK
HAND IN HAND
British Admiral Declares
Heads, Not Hands, Across
Water is Need
WANTS CARDS ON TABLE

LONDON, May 4.-The future naval
policies Of England and the United States
should be made known to each other, and
instead Of hands across the water
there should be heads across the water"
Thus Lord Lee OF Fareham, first lord Of
the British admiralty. stated in a
straightforward address at the annual
dinner Of the Institution OF Naval Arch
fleets.
Referring to the international aspects
Of naval policy, he held that England
should lay her cards on the table and
discuss frankly with America what the
future would be. Lord Lee said that the
board Of admiralty was today faced with
some Of the most perplexing problems
that had ever confronted naval admins
tration in this country.
Discussing the broader aspects Of naval
policy, the first lord of admiralty said :
II think all of us must be asking our
selves frequently the questlon-whither
are we going after the Triumphant con-
clusion Of that. war which was to make
the world safe for civilization: 1t is
hard to believe that those who we're
fighting side by side to save that civiliza-
ton are now going to build navies
against each other, If for no other reason
because 1t would be so ridiculous and so
silly. I am encouraged in this matter
by the moderate view which is being
taken by the governments of other great
naval powers, but it Is better that we
should speak plainly OF the greatest
naval power in the world apart from our
selves.
