to enforce one II signed, the Mayors at
torney made this remarkable declara-
ton: I'VE can only go to the courts to
avoid a physical conflict that might well
ensue II an order were made without
Jurisdiction" implying that force Of
arms" is the only resort when the law is
unable to prevent injustice. When
asked later to clarity this statement,
the Mayors counsel said:
An illegal act, without Jurisdiction, Is
q. nullity. Consequently there might be
dispute about its enforcement. In
other words, If told you to get o0t of
your house and you said: you have
no right to put me out what would
happen?
This plainly suggests that it may be
the Mayors purpose If the court de-
clines to enjoin the Governor from re-
moving him and the Governor pro-
ceeds to that end, to resist custer from
his office, perhaps with the assistance
Of the police Of the city.
It will thus be not at all surprising
in case Gov. Roosevelt orders the
mayors removal-which he now seems
likely to do unless definitely estopped
by the court-to see force of arms"
invoked at the City Hall in Manhattan.
This would indeed make the Walker
case one Of great moment in the politi-
cal campaign now in progress. The
declaration Of the Mayors counsel be-
fore the court yesterday. intimating
such a recourse to prevent removal, Is
little less than a challenge to the Gov
ernor, which he Is hardly likely to
ignore

These disputations are discontinued
at intervals for certain libationS, and
this Is really the grave danger of these

that they can hear neither the horns

/UO WEN, Peiping.-Liu Ii Chang,
known to many foreigners as
- the booksellers street, presented
y an unusual sight yesterday aft

ernoon, when about 100 stu
dents of the National Normal Univer-
sity kept up an inceSsant attack Of
stones and bricks on about an equal
number of police who had orders from
Gen. Pao Yu-lin to prevent the STU
dents from leaving and going to Nam
king to urge the ministry Of education
to appoint a new chancellor according
to their own requirements.
The police were armed with rifles,
but despite the great provocations Of
fered by the students, they kept their
heads and did not open fire. On the
other hand, the students threw stones
and bricks at them and kept this up
for a considerable time. Late in the
morning Gen. Pao arrived on the scene
in an effort to plead with the students
| to behave themselves, but he met with
| no better success. The students kept
I'D their attack, and it was not until
| the police fired two blank vo4ieys into
| the air that the commotion subsided
somewhat.
The students resumed stone throwing
after the departure of the director of
| public safety, and at o'clock the two
sides were still engaged in sort OF
| warfare" The students also threw
stones at passing motors and some for
| eign motorists reported thrilling escapes
! from their missiles.
Early this afternoon two students
we're arrested and police and agitated
students were still facing each other,
so that fears of clash are not over.
The slogan Of the students is to oppose
Fascist tendencies in Chinese educa-
ton, though independent observers fail
! to understand this charge, seeing that
so far the students have scored over
the teachers in any dispute.

Stronger Bid for Tourist
Trade Urged In Egypt.

Egyptian Gazette, Alexandria. - Al
though the question of attracting
tourists to Egypt is one with which
we have dealt many times before, we
do not apologize for referring to 1t
once again. The tourist traffic benefits
the whole country, certainly not to any
great extent. but in these times any
hing profitable is worth cherishing, and
as every visitor brings some money into
the country, the more visitors we have
the better.
The report OF the Tourist Develop
ment Association of Egypt, which we
publish upon another page, shows that
a large sum of money was spent and
great deal of work done last year in
an effort to persuade people to come
to Egypt. Unfortunately. travelling is
one of the first things most people cut
out when depression exists, and SO last
season was not good one. But there
seems no reason to believe that the de-
preston will last forever-there Is not
perhaps any better reason for suppostng
| that It won't, but let us be optimistic
and when the free exchange Of visits
recommences Egypt should have heI
| share. The Tourist Development AS
sociation seems to be doing quite good
work in a rather unimaginative way
| but no amount of advertising will sell
poor article, and that is precisely
what holiday in Egypt is at present

If the cave men whO plow through

in solving their car problems, as some
women have a way of doing, things
would run a lot smoother. When she
wasn't sure whether the battery was
run down or the starter gear stuck
friend of mine switched on the lights
and footed the horn. Plenty OF current.
That much settled.
II then occurred to her that possibly
the starter motor had broken down or
that II had a short circuit. Not to be
hoored by any such problem. she got
out the handcrank inserted 1t in the
front OF the cars apron and tried to
turn over the motor. When the shaft
would not bulge she knew Immediately
that the starter was simply lammed.
She drove up to the curb with such
a will that the right front wheel nearly
cracked Off Next she drove up ahead
and backed in so as to give the right
rear wheel a wallop. The car was light,
brand new. and not any too sturdy. 1t
looked as If papa had been bit in
dulgent and daughter didn't care
whether the car went or fal,ered by the

A woman who watched this perform

of an axle breaking when wheel Is hit

fortunately modern axles are little too
strong for that If they broke instead
of bending, the car would come TO
safe collapse at parking space
whereas it now bursts into Wild
shimmy while the driver Is bowling

Bus Owners Hit Tax,
In statement released recently the
National Association of Motor Bus
Operators predicts that the new special
taxes which the pending Federal reve-
nue bill would levy upon motor vehicles,
parts and accessories, together with the
proposed taxes on lubricating Gil and
crude rubber, will, if passed materially
retard further expansion and develop
ment of motor bus transportation, par
tlcularly in intercity service.
Pointing to the fact that the motor
bus industry has fairly we'll weathered
the storm of depression of the past two
years, the association remarks that the
industry Is now confronted with new
and more serious problems that in
effect, are a challenge to continued
operation of many lines These are in
creased taxes and depleted earning
power. Every class of bus operation,
according to the Bus Association state
ment, is affected, whether urban, inter-
city or cross country. All are face to
face with higher taxes, which in almost
every case must be passed on to patrons
either in the shape of higher fares or
in lessened service.

losses. The Aviation Corporation, one
Of the four largest aviation groups in
the United States, in its first quarterly
report for 1892, shows losses totaling
S823,872 for the three months It's
losses for the same period last year
were S334,436
The loss from operations of its ma
tion-wide system Of air lines, exclusive
Of depreciation, amounted to $290,628,
while depreciation losses were figured
at S353,757. There was some income
from interest and dividends but there
were losses on liquidation of flying
equipment and on sale of securities
which further swelled the total losses.
Aviation, in common with many in
dustries, is finding the going very hard,
but an abiding faith in the certain fu-
ture of air transportation keeps the
industry alive in the face of difficulties.
