where Mayor Deserve. Credit.

Mayor Hylan does deserve credit this
year, as In several previous years. for
lis vetoes of many bad anti-home rule
measures, some of which were passed
with the avowed purpose Of embarrassing
him and with the expectation that his
vetoes would arouse opposition among
certain departmental employees. OF this
sort were his courageous vetoes OF the
police and fire department salary increase
bills. Yet the Mayor. who would be
looked to as the natural defender OF The
city against hostile legislative raids. has
a record on his home rule vetoes this
year that is distinctly weaker than that
of the Governor. whom he has continual
ly attacked for his failure to accord
proper recognition to the views OF the
city authorities.
Like Mayors Gaynor. Mcclellan and
Mitchell before him, Mayor Hylan has
frequently by his vetoes prevented raids
ON the city treasury for hungry office
holders desiring higher pay. One thing
even the weakest of Mayors learn Is
that he must stand steadfast against
such raids

Governor Set. Forth View.

His belief that New York city should
have the opportunity to frame and adopt
its own charter, and that such charter
should itself carry a specific grant OF
home rule powers was clearly set forth
by him at the close of the session and
thereafter. The most striking instance
of his practical acceptance of the idea
was his action in submitting score Of
bills dealing with county officers and
salaries to Mayor Hylan. as head OF the
government that must pay the increases
desired, with the request that he give his
views in regard to them.
The Governor carried application OF
the principle still further by vetoing sew
eral anti-home rule bills of relatively
small Importance but of unusually
vicious sort which Mayor Hylan had ap-
proved, including the Henry and Lahey
reimbursement bills. Much to the dis
comfiture OF the Mayor. he also applied
his veto to the bill increasinf the salary
of the Mayor and other city officials
which Mayor Hylan had approved. as

JURY TO DECIDE DAMAGE SUIT
SCOTTEN VS.. WRIGHT, SMYRNA
CHANCELLOR woLCOTT DECID-
ES HE SHOULD NOT JUDGE CASE
Breach of Contract Referred To The
Superior Court of Kent County
Case Attracted Much Attention

That the question of alleged dam
ages in the suit of George ?. Scotten |
& Sons and the Smyrna Nash Motors |
Company VS.. George d. Wright &
Son is one that jury should decide
was the decision handed down Tuesday
of last week, by Chancellor Wolcott.
The case has cOnsequentally been sent
to the Superior Court of Kent County.
The decision of the Chancellor follows:
"The matter of the ascertainment of
damages, Of the kind here sought to
be awarded, ought not to be passed
upon by the chancellor alone, unaided
by the assistance of a jury nor by
master. | am persuaded that the wise
course to pursue is to seek the judg-
ment of a jury at the bar of the Su-
preme Court upon the question Of the
amount of damages.
"The INDUCTION should issue as pray
ed, and an issue quantum damificatus,
directed to the Superior Court, sitting
in and for Kent County, to assess the
damages down to the date of the in
junction. A decree and order will be
prepared in accordance with the views
herein expressed"
The counsel in the case are William
NJ. Hope and James |. Boyce for the
cOmplainants, and former Judge Will
liam H. Boyce, Arley B. Magee and
Daniel o. Hastings for the defendants.
The case has attracted a great deal
of attention, especially in the vicinity
of Smyrna. The bill before the chan
cellOr was one for injunction and ac-
counting. The Scottens, early in 1920
purchased from the Wnghts the lat
ter's garage, business and good will
The purchase price was $4,000, and
contract was made under which it is
alleged the Wrights agreed to not GO
into the garage business in Smyrna
or vicinity. Two clauses of this con-
tract are said to be as follows:
ut is agreed that the parties of the
first part reserve the right to sell the
Buick cars, parts for Buick cars anC
to repair Buick cars in the town OF
Smyrna, and this reservation is limi-
tation of the sale of the good will
above expressed.
"And the parties of the first part
undertake, covenant and agree to anC
with the party of the second part Of
his heirs, executors, administrators
and assigns that they or either Of
them will not hereafter operate &
: garage or service station or engage
in the sale of automobiles or the sup
plies, or repairs or accessories fOl
same except by and according to tn,
above and foregoing reservation any
where in or adjacent to the town O
! Smyrna any time after the second da!
of February, A. D. 1920"
The relief asked in the bill was tina

Dealers Fight
City Coal Sale

hight for its lift in the hiphest
court IN the state. The pet of
Charlie" Bryan, city commission
er and brother of William lon
nings Bryan, has Just emerped
victor IN series Of legal battles
In the lower courts. Heads ~
fourteen Lincoln coal companies
challenged the right of the muni-
clpal baby. They attacked the
iegal1ty OF the law creating a CITY
coal yard to life almost immed-
lately upon the birth of Mr. Brv-
ans industrial yard; they chal-
lenged the right of the city to
enter into competitive occnpa-
tons with taxpayers, and when
beaten in the lower courts on
these issues they tried to tie IN
by injunction the city funds with
which Mr.. Bryan operates the
city's fuel mart.
On the eve of the injunction
hearing commissioner BRYAN
handed the coal men a solar plex-
us blow by turning back into the
city treasury a sum equal to the
appropriation originally made for
starting the coal yard. Incident
ly, he announced this money was
part of the earnings of the yard
during its first six months of op-
GRAFTON. The yard, Mr.. Bryan
said, had comfortable surplus
on which to operate until the end
OF the winter, despite the sale Of
coal at 10 to 20 per cent less than
the same fuel could be had at
private owned yards. Meanwhile
Lincoln householders who patron
lie private yards are buying their
coal at a big saving over prices
which prevailed at the beginning
of the winter.
Appeal bonds have been filed
to carry the case to the state SUI

that the city has no legal right

les derived from public taxation.

Farm Blasting
Costs Cut Half
ByNewPowder

Wilmington, Della, March g.
The DUPONT company has Just put
on the market new developed
dynamite, which exhaustive tests
show reduces the cost of farm
blasting by one-half. The explo-
sive is known as Pacific Stumping
Powder and is the result OF
months Of effort on the part of
the company's chemical engineers.
Each stick of the new powder,
it has been found by laboratory
and field tests, will do equal work
with any other stumping powder.
The enormous saving which is an
nounced lies in the fact that each
case of the new powder contains
approximately one-half more
sticks and therefore, makes it
possible to blow out one-half more
stumps, blast one-half more
boulders, or plant one-half more
trees for every dollar OF explosives
investment.
Besides the extraordinary econ
omy of the new dynamite, which
1t is expected, will make possible
a great increase in land clearing
activities, it has other qualities
which in themselves are enough to
make it highly welcome to con-
sumers--it cannot freeze and it
will not produce headache. This
results from the fact that Pacific
Stumping Powder is a dynamite
manufactured on a double base of
modified nitroglycerine and gun
cotton and in this form, nitrogly-
cerii loses its property of freezing
or Of producing headache, as 1t is
practically solid. Also the keep
ing qualities of Pacific Stumping
Powder are excellent and equal to
those of any dynamite on the mar
ket.
