COURT SUSTAINS GOV. BUCK
Upholds His Right to Name WE.
Slower as Adjutant General

In a unanimous opinion handed
down yesterday in Dover in Kent
County Superior Court sustained
Governor Bucks appointment of
Colonel Weller E. Slower as Ad-
jutant General of Delaware. The
Governor made the appointment
three days after removing ]. Aust
in Ellison from the position July
8, 1881. The court holds that a
vacancy existed in the office of Ad-
jutant General after the end of the
session of the Delaware Senate
which followd the appointment of
Ellison in November 1920; and
that the vacancy continued until
Stover's appointment by Governor
Buck. The opinion of the Kent
County Superior Court followed
upon quo warranto proceedings in
stituted by General Ellison to Gust
Colonel Slower as his successor in
the position of Adjutant General.
Arthur G. Logan, of the law firm
of Marvel, Morford, Ward and Lo-
gan, represented General Ellison in
court, yesterday, due to the illness
of James r. Morford, who had ar
gued Ellison's case before the
court at Dover some months ago.
Attorney General Reuben Satter-
thwaite, Jr., and Deputy Attorney
General Charles F. Richards, rep
resented Colonel Slower The
courts decision settles the matter
of Governor Bucks legal right to
remove Ellison from the position,
and install Colonel Slower, mas
much as the opinion clearly reveals
that General Ellison's original ap-
pointment was never approved by
the State Senate, and was purely
an ad interim appointment.

'If Congress gives serious
consideration to the attempt
that is being made to impose
a federal tax of 5 per cent on
new automobiles" says the
Wilmington Every Evening,
'it will not only be treating
the public unfairly, but, it is
our belief, it will defeat the
object aimed at. Those who
are proposing the tax" con-
tinues the Every Evening,
evidently still regard the
motor car as a luxury. If they
will give a little thought to
the matter they cannot help
but realize that it is a neces-
sity-one of the most en-
phatic necessities in the coun-
try today.
According to an authority
on the subject, who has made
a study Of the facts, automo-
biles owned and used in the
United States now pay taxes
(license fees, gasoline taxes
and, in some states, personal
property taxes) in excess Of
a billion dollars a year. The
proposed tax, it is figured,
would yield only S6O,OOO,O00 a
year, computed on the num-
Der Of cars that would be sold
this year under normal condi-
tions. But the tax undoubted-
ly would reduce the number
of cars bought; how much, of
course could not be foretold,
but, in all probability, a very
considerable number.
''But that is not all. The
states would probably lose
more in gasoline tax than the
federal government would
gain through thus penalizing
new cars. There also would
be an adverse effect upon the
automobile business general
ly. The factories would feel
the blight, as would also the
dealers all the way down to
the retailers. That, certainly
would not help in Fastening
the recovery of business.
"The United States cannot
afford to follow the lead of
some foreign countries that
have almost taxed the auto
mobile out of existence. In
some Of these countries the
annual tax on the average car
is % per cent of its value. Our
country cannot afford to kill
the goose that lays the golden
eggs, as some other countries
have done.
"The singing out of the
automobile as a target for
taxation harks back to the old
days when it was considered
a nuisance and a luxury. To
day the automobile is a great
utility for over half of oul
families, in addition to being
an important business ad.

COUNCIL HEARS
PROTEST ABOUT
new YORK TRIP
SAM HART AND OTHERS GIVE
TALKS AT REGULAR MEET.
ING OF BOARD HELD LAST
EVENING

At a regular meeting of the city
council last night, Sam Hart adj
dressed sthe. body relative to the
recent trip of the council to New
York to confer with bondholders.
Mr.. Hart emphatically stated that
he thought that the council had
wasted the tax payers money in
making this trip, saying that he
felt that Councilman Freeman,
chairman of the finance commit
tee and City Attorney Lester
would have accomplished just as
well as having the entire body
make the trip. Mr.. Hart register
ed bitter protest in connection
with the proceedings, stating that
the public was very much dissatis-
fled with the matter.
President Warren replied to Mr..
Hart stating that he felt that the
money was well spent, saying that
the results of the meeting with
the bondholders would mean a big
saving to the tax payers of Key
West. He cited where this would
result in cutting down the millage
on the tax roll to a great extent.
He said that the bondholders in
question as result of the confer
ence, would in all probability now
defer mandamus proceedings
against the city for the amount of
bonds, and would allow the city to
continue paying interest on same.
He showed where there would
be difference of almost 20 mills
less levied against the roll by this
arrangement with the bondholders.
3. A. Johnson, local business
contractor, and Charles Archer al
so gave brief talks protesting
against the action OF the council,
also stating that they felt that it
was not right for the council to
have used the taxpayers money
for the trip in question especially
at time when the city's finances
were SO depleted.
Attorney Lester notified the
board that he had been called to
Miami on business in connection
with the bridge franchise, saying
that arrangements had been made
for his leaving Sunday, accom-
panied by Attorney William v.
Albury. both of whom will make
the trip at the expense of the
Overseas Bridge Corporation.
Mr.. Lester. in asking the coun-
ellis permission for the required
time off. since he is the city at
torney, concluded by saying that
he was specifically asking this
permission of the board to pro-
tect himself against being fired"
while he was away inaSmueh as
this was what happened TO him a

of Public Works dispensed with

of these the meeting was ordered

Ancient Irish Cremated Their Dead,
Built Villages On Rats, Science Finds

BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE
(Aasociated Press Science Editor
CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 49,
Five hundred years before Christ
the ancient Irish were cremating
their dead in the present Irish Free
State.
This is one of the first prehis-
torical facts unearthed in five
year survey of Irish racial history,
social and economic development
and anthropological peculiarities,
undertaken by Harvard univer-
sity's department of anthropology
with the approval of the president
of the Free State.
Raft Village Discovered
The burial customs, pottery,
stone implements and bronze dag
gers showing how these Irishmen
of long ago lived were dug up in
preliminary survey the past
summer. They were found in a
huge cairn on Knockast hill, 600
foot high elevation.
In county Westmeath, at Balm
derry, the Harvard anthropologists
discovered raft village of the
10th century, A. D.
It was made by lake jewellers,
who started with a huge log raft
for foundation. On top of this
they added new platforms of peat
and brushwood, cemented by clay,
to form an artificial island. Some
times 40 persons at a time lived on
this raft.
Farm Life Revealed -. -.
High wooden stakes formed a
protective palisade. Rotted rem
nants of dugouts nearby showed
how these ancient people reached
the land. Bones of domestic ami
mails, deer and boar told the story
of their hunting and farm life.
Wooden tubs, barrels, iron knives,
iron axes, bone combs and bronze
pins filled in details of family and
social occupations.
