SUIT AGAINST SPARKLER COM
PANY LOST

In the case of the State of Mary
land to the use of Thomas Bell VS.
The Victory Sparkler and Speciality
Co., Inc, the defendants demurrer
was sustained.
The suit was the result of injuries
to Ruth Bell, of Yonkers, N. Y,
from which she died. The injuries
were alleged to have been caused by
the flame from a sparkler manufact-
ured by the local Sparkler Company,
the defendant in the case. Mr.. Bell,
in the name of the State of Mary
land, the nominal plaintiff, brought
suit against the Sparkler Company
for 100000, to which suit the de-
fendant, through its attorney, JOSH
ua Clayton, Esq.,, filed demurrer,
the suit being based on New York
statute.
The argument by Mr.. Clayton and
Leon H. A. Pearson, of Baltimore,
attorney for the plaintiff. was heard
by the Court on June goth last.
An opinion was given by Judge
Wickes on July End, sustaining the
demurrer, that the Maryland Court
would not hear and determine the
case, because to do so, would be CIV
ing extra-territorial effect to New
York law.

HIGHWAYMEN DON'T BELIEVE
IN SIGNS

A wholesale destruction of signs
on the right of way of all state roads
was begun last week by the various
gangs of workmen on these thor
oughfares. All the fences are being
denuded of their placards, explain
ing the merits of this or that soap or
toothpaste, political advertisements
are being stripped from the trees
md poles along the highways and
the various swinging banners over
the roadways are being ordered
down.
The crusade is the result of an
edict from Harrisburg that every
sign of every description, located
upon State property, must come
down at once, regardless of the race,
religion or previous condition of
servitude of the article advertised.
The order has no effect upon signs
which are placed along the roadway
on private property over which the
state has no jurisdiction and some
'arger bill boards are being plac-
ed back to be located in this manner
The !ultimatum embraces swinging
banners for the first time, on the
round that they are liable to cause
accidents to motorists who attempt
to read them, thereby taking their
eyes from the road ahead of them.
