MOTORISTS GET RAW
DEAL IN AUSTRIA
NO LIMIT TO SUM WHICH CAN
BE COLLECTED
Autolsts Are Responsible for Damage
Done to Frightened Horses, Dogs
or Chickens, and Any Court
Can Fix Amount

Americans who intend to motor in
Austria should be warned of the new
law regulating motor traffic, which has
caused CONSERVATION among the auto
mobilists of the empire, according to d
cable dispatch from Berlin. DR.. Emil
Frischauer, a Vienna lawyer who has
studied the measure. says there is abb
solutely no limit to the amount OF
compensation that may be exacted
from a motorist, for damage caused
by CT due to his car.
He is responsible for damage done
by frightened horses, and the amount
he has to pay may be fixed by any
small local tribunal There is no dam
age limit, and in view of the notorious
hostility of certain districts to motor
lists a fortune might easily be lost on
a single journey.
In Germany the damage limit is fixed
at $12, 800. The secretary of the Wen
ma Automobile club asserts that the
position of motorists will be most Sc
rious if the law is vigorously admin
istered. DR.. Frischauer says but one
aVerfue of escape appears open to the
motorist, and that is to evade the law
by the formation of limited compan-
les.
Several motorists will join to form a
company, each subscribing a certain
sum, say $4,000. A company with five
members will thus have $25,000 at its
command, and will purchase the cars
of five members, giving $4,000 for each.
The company now becomes liable for
all damage done by all the cars, and.
being a limited liability concern, it is
only able to pay fines or compensation
to the limit of the funds in hand. Then
it becomes bankrupt.
DR.. Frischauer considers that such
a company would be in a chronic state
of bankruptcy, but this would be the
only way of evading the new law.

M'GARRY PLEADS GUILTY
AND GETS OFF LIGHTLY
stole Stock with Which to Start Sta
tlonery Store, but Could Be
Convicted Only for Petty
Larceny

T. r. McGarry, who is alleged to
have stolen about $4,000 worth of goods
from the p. Lazarus Co., by whom he
was formerly employed, pleaded guilty
to petty larceny in police court yester-
day morning and was sentenced by
Police Justice Frederickson to serve
100 days in the city jail.
At the time of his arrest McGarry
was conducting a stationery store at
9O6 East Fifth street. The police say
he admitted having stolen the goods
with a view to opening a store of his
own and acknowledged having stolen
most of the stolen property.
While the value of the goods taken
nv McGarry will total several
thousand dollars, he never stole at any
one time goods valued at more than
$50. Because of this fact he could be
prosecuted only on a charge of petty
larceny.
When detectives searched the house
owned by McGarry in the Pasadena
Villa tract they found one room filed
with stationery cases

A MOOnShiner'S Camp.

An automobile party from Philadel-
phia while touring from Salisbury to
Snow Hill last Saturday accidently dis
covered what they confidently assert
is moon-shiner' camp. As is well
known, the forests between these two
towns are almost interminable. and the
roads so numerous, devious and winding
that it is almost impossible for anyone
not familier with them to steer a
straight course. The party in the tour
ing car got lost. and while beating
about and endeavoring to find their way
out of the forest, they came suddenly
upon a party of encamped men, who
confronted the travellers with hostile
and suspicious looks. The men in camp
all either carried muskets or had one
close at hand The atmosphere was
heavy with the fumes Of brandy or
whiskey, and this fact coupled with the
menacing and unfriendly attitude of
the campers, excited the suspicion in
the minds of the members of the tour
lists that they had Unexpectedly come
upon party Of moon-shiners. No still
or other apparatus for distilling pur-
poses was discernible to the eyes Of the
travellers, but they assert that the
evidence conveyed TO their physical
sense Of smell was too strong to admit
of a mistake, or to resolve itself into a
mere conjecture. After inquiring their
way of the supposed moon-shiners. the
touring party beat hasty retreat, and
made as quick run 10 Snow Hill as
was consistent with their dignity and
bad roads.
