AUTOMOBILE RESPONSIBILITIES.

The judgment of the Appellate Division Of the
Supreme Court concerning the responsibility or
lack of responsibility of owners of automobiles
for the acts of their chaufeurs in certain cir
cumstances is of much interest not only TO the
owners and operators of motor cars but also to
the general public. In brief it amounts to this
that the owner of a machine is not liable for
damages resulting from the misuse of it by his
own employe unless he is himself in the car or
il is being used specifically for him in his per
sonal business If the chauffeur is using the
car for his own business or pleasure, either with
or without the knowledge and consent of the
owner Of it. and causes damages of any kind.
the owner is not to be held responsible.
We shall not call into question the soundneSs
of that decision. in both law and equity. though
IL is TO he observed that two Of the five jus
tees dissented from il and held that the owner
should be exempted from responsibility only
when the car is used without his knowledge or
consent But what is quite evident is that
under this decision in a large proportion Of
cases-perhaps a majority Of serious cases
persons grievously injured by the reckless driv-
ing of automobiles viii have no recourse for
recuniary indemnity and viii be able 10 do
nothing more than TO have a financially ire
sponsible chauffeur fined few dollars or, at
most sent to Jail for a short term
The killing of DR. Flint at Seabright the other
evening was pointed reminder OF the fact that
q large proportion Of the worst automobile ac-
cidents occur through the use Of cars by ciaut-
feurs in the absence of their employers, either
with OF without the knowledge or consent OF
the latter Sometimes an easy going employer,
who would never think Of letting coachman
thus use his carriage and horses. gives bis
chauffeur permission TO use his automobile Tor
his own pleasure. Sometimes dishonest
chauffeur practically steals-ihe car
without any such permission In either case
the chauffeur may pick up friends and run
amuck through :he town with disastrous re-
suits
If it be granted that it would be harsh and
unjust TO hold the owner TO account when such
things are done without his knowledge or con-
sent. aud even against niS explicit order, it GER
tanly seems unjust 10 the victims of the esca-
pade that they should have 40 other recourse

nlisdemeanor. IL The owners of cars were held
in some degree responsible there would doubt
less be the Salutary effect Of causing them 10

doings and more strict in holding them 10 de-

ALCOHOL FOR INDUSTRY.

So many hopes excited by the denatured alco-
hoi law have been disappointed In the last
eighteen months that 1t takes courage to sug-
gest that any of them may yet be realized.
With untaxed spirits selling for 80 or 80 cents
q gallon and gasolene for 90 or less there is a
pretty Door prospect that the former will dis
place the latter for the development of power
or be devoted to many important new uses.
Nevertheless, in 1.-The Engineering Magazine
for August Mr.. Thomas L. White expresses the
belief that the causes of the present disparity
may yet be modified, If not removed.
Mr. White makes the production OF cheap
alcohol deDend on an abundant supply Of
terial which can be had almost for the asking.
Since the new law went into effect he says,
alcohol for industrial service has been made
from corn, and corn has commanded exception
aIlv high prices. Besides. the business has been
in the hands Of the old distillers Little or
nothing has been done along new lines. No
faith in the utilization of farm refuse is
evinced but the experiments made with peat
are regarded as promising. For a long time the
attempt to obtain alcohol from that source was
beset with difficulties. These according to Mr..
White have been overcome by what is prac'
ticaIly a new process, invented by Profess
sor Lagerheim, of Stockholm University, and
another Swedish chemist, Mr.. Victor Fresta-
dius. Mr.. White ventures the surprising opinion
that alcohol thus made "can be marketed with
profit at five cents q gallon"
So much talk of this sort was heard year
or two ago. and it has borne so little fruit, that
a renewal of it should be received with caution,
if not with downright skepticism. Still, details
concerning the Lagerheim- -Frestadius method.
possessing technical If not commercial value,
are supplied They deserve careful scrutiny,
at least 1t may not prove Improbable to as
certain whether Mr.. Whites report is suscept
BILE of independent verifcation, and also to con
slider what additions TO his estimate Of the cost
ought to be made, if any, TO adapt it to this
country. Peat is found in, reasonably large
quantities IN several parts of the United States,
but is exceptionally abundant in the great Dis
nal Swamp of Virginia. Can it be bad any
where for nothing? What preliminary steps
must be taken to secure the right to dig it? Is
labor as cheap in this country as in Sweden?
What new transportation facilities must be
created for the delivery Of the necessary manu-
featuring plant at the site of any peat distillery
which may be established? Finally, how great
demand for the article might reasonably be
expected if the cost of alcohol could be mate
rally reduced?

YOUNG TURKEY AND THE POWERS.

The action Of the Young Turks, flushed with
victory over the Sultan in ordering Austrc-
Hungarian agents of the great powers to leave
Macedonia the ground that under the new
Turkish constitution the Intervention of for
eign countries in that empire is not needed, EN-
phasiZeS observation of few days ago,
that the effect of the Turkish revolution upon
the plans of the powers for Macedonian reforms
might prove to be the most serious phase Of
the whole case The act of the Young Turks
is precipitate and, being without official au-
thority, is also presumptuous. 1t will not, we
may assume, be effective. Scarcely for the
word of the Porte the Sultan would the au-
thorized agents of the powers withdraw, or
would the powers withdraw them; certainly
should say, not at the irresponsible demand of
a elf-constituted committee.
Yet it is obvious that the matter is not likely
to rest there, with this demand and Il refusal
to comply with 1t. The government at Con
stantinople is yet TO be heard from. 1t either
will or will not approve and support the de-
mand of the Young Turks. If It does IL will
come into diplomatic conflict with the powers

gave its assent If it does not, it will antago-
