Test MaryIand's Law.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star
The constitutionality of the Maryland
automobile law is to be tested in the courts
by the Automobile Club of Washington
and the National Automobile Association
of this city.
The new law went into effect July |, and
since that date thousands of dollars have
been paid by local motorists for licenses to
motor beyond the borders of the District
Heretofore the tax has been perpetual, but
in the future the tax will be an annual
affair. Another feature which has met
with objection on the part of Washington
motorists is that portion of the act which
discriminates between residents of the
States and the residents of other Federal
districts.
Residents of States are granted exemp-
ton for two periods of seven days each
during the calendar year. while residents
of the District are barred from this privi-
lege. The result is that a motorist who
desires to cross the District line into Mary
land must take out an annual license the
same as if he were a resident of Maryland
1t is stated that further reason why
the law is considered untenable is on the
ground that il is the right of every citizen
of the United States to pass through or
into any State of the Union without being
subjected to any tax or burden for the
privilege of doing 50. All the legal phases
of the case have been gone into carefully,
as well as the question of interstate laws,
which play an important part in the pro-
ceedings.
The American Automobile Association,
composed of the leading manufacturers,
automobile clubs and autOists of the cOun-
try, now has a bill before Congress for a
Federal tax, which would enable motOrist
to travel from one State into another or
from one side of the country to the other
without taking out license in each State
passed through.
The tax is to be paid annually. accord
ing to the BILL at a registration Office to be
conducted under the Federal government
at Washington. By simply displaying this
Federal tag on a machine it has the right
of way at the pleasure Of the owner Of
car This does not. however. exempt
motorist from complying with the laws Of
the States and municipalities through which
he passes, the law strictly providing that
he must comply with the same or run
chances of arrest. The bill was in the
hands of the committee on interstate com
merce when Congress adjourned. and the
fight for its passage will be again taken up
at the coming session, as it has met with
popular favor among motorists all over the
country.
The con stitutionality of the Maryland
act is to be tested by William s. Duvall.
president and counsel of the Automobile
Club of Washington, and Messrs Ralston,
Siddons and Richardson and C. L. Bouve,
attorneys for the National Automobile AS

Declares for Warner.
From the Frederick Examiner.

from the Frederick Examiner.
We believe the large majority of the Re-
publicans of this county want a new man
for Congress, and that they favor Mr., B. H.
Warner, Jr., of Montgomery county, for the
place. Our county has no candidate, and
1t is but natural there should be strong tie
between us and the Republicans of that
county 1t is in the same judicial circuit,
and for many years there has been grow
ing community of interest between the
citizens of both counties. In addition, we
believe he is the strongest man to pit
against Pearre, Mr.. Blair comes from the
same county, and he is an excellent gen.
tleman. but present appearances indi-
cate that some of the men, who advised
his candidacy, are not really for him, but
are working quietly for Pearre. Under such
circumstances he is not as strong a man
as Warner, because behind Mr.. Warner is
lined up the solid Pearre opposition. which
was strong enough two years ago to beat
Pearre at least three to one in that county.
Mr. Warner is hustler from way back,
and with his well-known energy and dis
position to shed his coat and wade in
when active work is to be done. will make
a rafting fight to save this Congressional
District. The roads won't be too muddy,
nor the nights too dark for him to look up
the people, and when he is elected you
can bet your last nickle that every man
will be treated decently and listened to
patiently, and the very best possible as
sistance ungrudgingly meted out to him.
If any of our boys want to 60 to West
Point or the Naval Academy, we vouch for
Mr.. Warner that young Republican will
wear the nations uniform and it won't 90
any other way. Then again he is reliable
Republican and not sulky personality,
who will have to be coaxed and petted to
sustain Republican administration. We
believe as the time approaches for the pri-
maries the sentiment will become unani-
nous.

Chevy Chase In Court.

Proceedings have been instituted in the
Circuit Court here to have declared invalid
the Act incorporating the town of Chevy
Chase and to enjoin William T. s. Curtis,
George W. F. Swartzell Adolph A. Hoeh-
ling, Jr., Vernon E. Hodges and John L.
Weaver, composing the Board of Trustees
OF Chevy Chase, from acting as trustees
and from assessing and collecting taxes
upon the assessable property in the town.
The plaintiff is Mrs. Anna G. Mactier,
who represents that she owns real estate
in Chevy Chase of the value of $500
and that she brings suit for herself and
other taxpayers, who will contribute to the
cost of the litigation. She is represented
by Charles C. Tucker and Chas. L. Frailey,
of Washington, and Robert b. Peter, of
Rockville.
The bill sets forth that at the last ses-
sion of the Legislature there were passed
two bills, one entitled AN act to incorpor-
ate the village of Chevy Chase. Monteom-
cry county, Maryland, which is designated
in the bill as the Municipal Control act,
and the other. entitled An act to authorize
the County Commissioners of Montgomery
county to make annual levies of not more
than so cents on each 500 of assessabe
property of the town of Chevy Chase, Mont
gomery county, Maryland. according to and
by certain divisions of said village, for the
purpose of opening, improving and repair
ing roads, streets, sidewalks, parkings,
drainage, sanitation and other improve
ments and for furnishing police protection
and public service, including the removal
of ashes, garbage and other refuse for the
benefit of the residents of the several di-
visions of said village, or such division or
divisions thereof as may apply therefor
under certain conditions" The latter act
is designated in the bill as the Special
Levy act.
1t is cOntended that both bills we're
signed by the Governor on April 8, 1910,
but mo one knows, or has any means of
knowing, and it is not susceptible of proof,
which of the bills was the last to be signed
by the Governor"

Narrowly Escapes Drowning.

Mr.. Howard ]. Spates, son of Mr.. Richard
Spates, of Poolesville district, this county,
narrowly escaped drowning at Atlantic
City on the goth instant. The following
narration of the circumstances of the acct
dent is taken from the Atlantic City Euen
ing Union
Howard j. Spates, hotel clerk, figured
in sensational episode in the ocean of
the foot of South Carolina avenue shortly
after 6 O'Clock this morning.
Mr.. Spates was taking his usual morn
ing swim when he was caught in strong
undercurrent and found himself being car
ried rapidly seaward despite his frantic
efforts to swim ashore. He called loudly
Tor help and three young men launched a
life boat and started to his rescue.
Like the bather, the swiftly-running
current, took the boat out of its course,
and the volunteer crew, who knew little of
the management of boat, had difficulty
in avoiding being swept against the piline
of YOungs Ocean Pier
in the meantime, Mr.. Spates managed
to get out of the sluice and swan safely
to shore. Then he turned his attention
toward assisting the men who had so will
ingly endeavored to rescue him, but after
the boat had been swept under the pier
they climed up the piline and disappeared.
"Mr. Spates desires to extend his thanks
to the men who endeavored to rescue him.
Not knowing their names he called at the
Office of the Evening Union and asked that
they accept this acknowledgment of his
appreciation.
ut was learned later that the Three
Men in Boat were Billy Gibson, late of
George M. Cohen's The Yankee Prince
Company; j. C. WhoOley, late of the 'Des-
perate Chance Company, and Greek.

The Greek got frightened
after we got out in the breakers and wanted
to 90 ashore. Just when my partner Glib
SOM was up in the front of the boat ready
to throw buoy to the man in the water,
that Greek let 60 of his oar and we came
near going over for sure. Then the waves
swept us down under the pier and we pro-

The Motor Car Craze.
The Financial World.

ihC hiuhNiul WOiius
The spectacle was witnessed this week
of one of the largest and best -known auto
mobile manufacturing companies in the
country going from bank to bank in New
York City and asking in vain for loan of
$650,000 on $750,000 real estate mort
cages as collateral The MORTGAGES rep
resented property valued at 100000
or more. The would-be borrower was turn
ed down on the ground that the craze to
buy automobiles had been at the danger
stage for some time, and that the banks
did not care to encourage il.
The collateral offered consisted of mort
cages on the homes of buyers Of cars, and
was undoubtedly good, but the represen-
tative of the ALTERNATING concern who
sought to turn his mortgages into cash
met with cold reception everywhere he
went The bankers had in mind the failure,
within the last ten days, of three goOdly
sized auto manufacturers, due to the fall
ing off in orders from dealers, and they
were frank to say that they regarded the
automobile industry as in distinctly I'M
healthy state, and that smash would in
all probability come ii check we're not
put upon the dangerous expansion in the
auto trade.
Automobile buying, though not as brisk
or in the feverish and excited state of a
few months ago, Is still on in considerable
volume, and has been felt in this July
period which is usually given over to heavy
buying Of securities by those whose in
comes are largely augmented on July by
the receipt of dividend and interest money.
Investment houses hear the explanation
from statesmen who have been sent to sell
some security to a prospective customer
that failure has been caused by the fact
that the individual whose capital it is
sought to direct into investments had put
his money into the purchase of car and
the erection of garage. A Wall Street
investment house, which took the trouble
to look into the real estate mortgages filed
in the Registrars Office in New York City,
ascertained that in one day as per cent
of the mortgages were in favor Of auto
mobile dealersOr manufacturers. They had
been given by persons who, not possessing
the means to pay for cars, had mortgaged
their homes to raise the necessary cash or
had given mortgage to the auto dealer.
This sort of thing is going to end in
trouble if il is not checked" said a we'll
known banker. in discussing the autOmO-
bile craze among people who cannot afford
