WALKER, AT HOME,
PLANS HOT FIGHT
Mayor Says Tammany Has
Nothing to Fear From
political Attack"
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Mayor Walker
was back home today to begin his
counter attack on the critics Of his ad-
ministration.
Tanned and energetic, he returned
yesterday from his vacation in Califor-
mia and spent the day resting at his
apartment. He saw only few friends,
but those who talked with him were
convinced that he intends to strike
back vigorously and quickly.
Two immediate tasks confront the
mayor. First, he must draft q reply
to the charges filed against him with
Gov. Roosevelt by the City Affairs
Committee. The material on which
the answer will be based was assembled
during his absence by his assistant,
lem involves the reorganization of some
OF the city'S departments, a reorgani-
zation which anticipates an investiga-
ton OF the city government by COM
mittee Of the Legislature.
Cameramen Given 20 Minutes.
In line with Tammanys decision not
to stage demonstration, Police Com
missioner Mulrooney and Thomas F.
4,
were the only oficials Of rank to extend
welcome when the mayor arrived home.
Photographers were out in force. The
mayor spent 20 minutes posing for
various shots" Into the microphone
Of one Of the sound movie machines he
made his only formal statement:
i am happy to return to the city of
my birth, which has honored ,me. I
return with renewed health and vigor
to the cleanest and best city in the
world
Speaking of his critics q bit later, he
remarked:
No Doubt Of Outcome.
They've asked for this fight. Wen
give them all we've got. There's no
doubt in my mind Of the outcome. It's
q political attack-nothing more. Tam
many has nothing to fear
Meantime, with the inquiry into the
lower courts of New York City nearing
its end, Harland B. TibbetS, chief coun-
sci for the appellate division, said 1t
was extremely unlikely that any in
stance OF purchased appointment to
the bench would be disclosed. AL
though the investigation has brought
about the resignation of three magis-
trates," Mr.. TibbettS said, sit has been
almost impossible TO get cogent evi-
dence."

VERDICT AFFIRMED
AGAINST TAXI CO.
Justice Groner Holds Owner
Liable Though Driver
DiSobeyed Order.

The District Court Of Appeals in an
opinion by Justice D. Lawrence Groner
today established a new measure Of re-
sponsibility of owners OF automobiles
for injuries sustained when drivers are
not actually engaged In the employers
business. and in SO doing modified
former decision Of the court in Lucas
vs.. Friedman So Appeals 5. The court
held that an employer may not escape
liability on the plea that the driver had
disobeyed his instructions.
1t affirmed a verdict for $4,000 dam
ages awarded in the District Supreme
Court TO Mrs. Della Flaherty against
the Wardman Park Taxicab Co., in
which the defense was that the cab
driver was driving a woman friend to
dinner when he struck Mrs. Flaherty
and was not engaged In the masters
business.
Dangers Of Traffic Worse.
eve are asked to hold" says Justice
Groner, "in effect that defendant can
not be held liable because the driver Of
his cab was at the time of the injury TO
plaintiff using 1t in violation of the
masters rule, and this, too, notwith-
standing that 1t Is not contested he
was then in the masters employ and
rightly in possession of the cab. This,
we think, is not and should not be the
law. We cannot shut our eyes to the
fact that an automobile, in the crowded
conditions of street traffic as it exists
today in large cities is, as was declared
by Justice Sutherland in the Colts case,
potentially dangerous fundamentally
nor to the further fact of universal
knowledge that the fatalities due to its
use, as shown in the published state
mentS Of State bureaus and insurance
companies, approach those Of modern
warfare. Nor likewise are we unmind-
full of the fact that conditions in this
respect are growing worse rather than
better.
Would Require Supervision.
"In these circumstances it seems to
be the duty Of the courts TO indulge no
subtle reasoning in extending the doc
trine of non-liabllity to the owner Of
such an fundamentally who in search
Of gain and profit places one of these
In irresponsible hands, but rather to res
quire OF him such supervision Of his
servant as will avoid diSobedience to
