The Browns are here with a
greatly revised club. They have
added Mclean, of Chicago; Hogan, or
the Athletics, and Myers, of the Red
sox, to their line of battle since they

probably bat about like this:

KNOX WRITES CROTHERS
Maryland Auto License Refused
Diplomat.

Baltimore, Feb 7-Governor Austin L.
Crothers is in receipt Of letter from Sec
rotary Knox urging him to lend his infiu-
ence to the granting OF free automobile
licenses TO all foreign diplomats At the
same time Secretary Knox points out that
this courtesy is obligatory under the prin-
ciples and presidents of international law.
The Governor has as yet taken no action
on the communication, which grew out OF
the declination Of John r. George state
motor vehicle commissioner, through his
Washington agent Leroy Mark to comply
with the request OF Baron Hengelmdler, the
Austro- Hungarian Minister in Washington.
TO issue a free license for his automobile
Commissioner George. acting under the
Maryland law. which provides no exemp-
tons, said that IL would cost Baron Hen
gelmUler SIS year 10 travel over Mary
land public roads. The baron referred the
question to Secretary Knox. Hence the
Secretary's letter to Governor Crothers.
Secretary Knox takes the position that
representatives of foreign governments are
exempt from the payment OF taxes in any
form. and quotes numerous authorities TO
this effect
Commissioner George recently requested
payment OF the license fees for the White
House automobiles and withheld the IL
censes until Instructed by Governor Croth-
ters 10 issue them without charge.
Secretary Knox cautiously reminds the
Governor that should he entertain any
doubt after consideration OF the authorities
cited II would seem 10 be in accord with the
usaCes Of International comfy that the
doubt oe resolved IN favor OF diplomatic
f.,.,, mite l. ale thaf
sideration should be given TO the practical
difficulties Of an attempt to enforce this
law against diplomatic representatives.
