The New Automobile Law.-The Balti-
more Neaos says that automobiles who violate
any of the State Laws or city ordinances will
be vigorously prosecuted by the police. Acting
Marshal Manning has given specific instruc-
lions to the district captains to have their men
see that the motor vehicle license law is OBJ
served to the letter.
This law specifies that every owner of q
motor vehicle, resident in the State, and every
nonresident owner whose vehicle is driven in
the State shall file in the office of the Secretary
of State declaration duly verified that such
owner is competent to drive the motor vehicle
for which application for license is made.
Races between motor vehicles are prohibited
is frequently violated by drivers of motor We
hicles on the Pimlico road and Park Heights
avenue within the city limits.
In instructing the captains in regard to the
laws governing the speed and regulations for
motor vehicles the acting Marshal gave espe-
cial instructions to Captain Schleigh, of the
Northern district, whose bailiwick includes o
portion of Pimlico road and Park Heights ave-
nue.. Captain Schleigh stated that he would
detail special officers and mounted patrOlmen
to arrest violators of the law.
The sections of the motor vehicle license law
governing the speed of such vehicles specifies
that a speed of one mile in 10 minutes may be
maintained on any public road or turnpike or
through any town or village. The law also
specifies that drivers of motor vehicles must
heed the requests of anyone driving or leading
a horse to stop if the horse is frightened. A
speed of one mile in 10 minutes must not be ex-
ceeded where street or highway has sharp
curve or at the intersection of streets or roads.
Commenting on this matter the Belair DEM
ocrat of last week said: "The automobile
law that passed the last Legislature and is
now in force, is Of interest to many people now
tina. the red DEVILS as they are often called,
show disposition at times to monopolize our
public roads. This law requires all automo-
biists who own and operate automobiles in
the State to secure license and display its
number on his auto and declare their ability to
manage their machine. The law also requires
that no greater speed than six miles an hour
shall be made on the public roads, and that the
auto must be stopped or slowed down when re-
quested by the driver Of timid horse. For
violation of any of the provisions of this act
the offender is liable to arrest and punishment
Some of our county owners of automobiles
are aware of the terrifying effects of their ma
chimes on timid animals and use the precau.
tons required to limit the danger attending the
meeting and passing of horses on the public
roads. There are not a few, however, mostly
non. residents, who recklessly rush by all per.
sons on the road, regardless Of the danger to
innocent people-oftentimes ladies driving
themselves. Such persons should be relent.
