DOUBLE
 TAX ON AUTOS
Owners Throughout Country
 Watching and Aiding Liti- gation Now in Progress to Correct Alleged Abuse

countrywide protest against the double tax on self-propelled ve. hicles is accommodating as a result of the attitude Of the American Automo. bile association. and reflected in the procedure of it's legislative board. in advising all affiliated state bodies to fight vigorously the payment of 9 registration fee for revenue purposes and the imposition Of personal property tax, to which is added in some cases an annual charge for oper. ator's license and even a local wheel tax.
 Motorists are greatly interested in the so-called New Jersey test case" | which the A. A. A. recently had it's general counsel, Charles Thaddeus Terry place on the docket of the
 United States supreme court ard
 which it is expected may be argued
 before the year is ended by ex-Unlted

 in charge for the Associated Automo.

The narrative has the merit of ease. continuity and sustained interest.

Accidents On Railroad.
Several Persons Injured; Cars
And Buggy Smashed.

A streak of ill-luck seemed to predml-
nate on the Frederick railroad Monday
last. Accidents on this branch of the
road have been few, but on this day two
accidents happened within few hours
and almost at the same place.
While Mr.. VIM. Geisbert of Jimtown,
was on his way to Thurlnont Monday
morning, he attempted to drive across
the railroad as the trolley car was near
ing the road crossing known as port
ner's" south of town and on the road
leading to the old lime Hlns.
Mr.. Geisbert did not clear the track
and the car struck his buggy, smashing
it al hurting him to the ground. Luck
lily he escaped with severe cut on the
head and bad shaking-up generally.
DR.. M. A. Birely was hurried to the scene
and after dressing the injured mans
wounds, took him to his home. The horse
escaped uninjured.
The second accident occurred sh ortly
after O'Clock in the afternoon between
the above mentioned road crossing and
the bridge over Hunting creek.
In this two trolley cars, one being the
car carrying the local freight and the
other that used by the linemen on the
system. crashed together with terrific
force The freight car was returning to
Frederick and the other coming to Thur
mont At the point of collision there is
curve in the road, trees!and bushes lin
ing the sides of the right of way.
Mr.. William Bennett, brother of Mr..
Samuel Bennett Of this place, was mo-
toring on the freight car and was severe
ly injured when the cars came together.
Several men on the other car were more
or less hurt, but not seriously.
DR.. Birely. who is the road physician
at this place was called and rendered aid
to the injured men. Mr.. Bennett was
sent to Frederick City Hospital and after
receiving treatment was sent to his home
in Frederick.
Both cars were considerably smashed
but neither left the rail- To clear the
track they were placed on the Mines

Everybody Took Holiday.
Merchants and Many People
Enjoy Outings Here and There.

|
Last Saturday, July 4th, the merchants
and banks closed their places of business
and took a day off. Many of the bust
ness men got out of town, some remain
ing away portion of the time, others
all day and returned Sunday.
With all places of business closed,
scarcely any country people came to
town, and hence everything was quiet.
The Board of Commissioners concluded
to restrict the firing of fire crackers, and
this kept noise on the streets at mini
mum. This is the first time that the
Safe and Sane" idea has been put in
effect here, and with Mayor Root on the
street the greater portion of Saturday
and Saturday night, but few reports
were heard.
On Friday evening, however, some
shooting was done, apparently for the
purpose of vexing the town authorities.
Heavy fire crackers were thrown from
back yards or second story windows on
to the street. One of these came near
causing serious accident The cracker
was thrown close to horse attached to
q buggy in which was lady and little
child. The horse reared and tore loose
and was about to run. Several men
standing near caught the horse and thus
probably saved two people from serious
injury.
Such acts of vandalism has caused
many accidents and deaths in past years,
and to avoid such has caused the officials
of many towns and cities to prohibit the
selling and firing of fire crackers on this
great national holiday.
Several persons offered rewards for in
formation as to who threw the cracker,
but no one seemed to know from whose
hand it came.
On Saturday evening at various places
some pretty fire works were set off for
the benefit of little folks. So far as
known to US no person was injured

WANT LAWS To
RULE RAILROAD
CAPITALIZATION
Compulsory Use of Steel Cars
Also Recommended by Inter-
state Commerce Commission.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-In its
annual report to Congress today the
Interstate Commerce Commission
makes these principal recommenda-
tions.
Laws to control railway capitaliza-
ton.
Compulsory use of steel cars in pas
senger trains and prohibition of the
use of wooden cars between OF ahead
of steel ones.
Definite penalties for violations of
the hours of service act.
Laws to make explicit and certain
the authority of the commission to
examine alr documents and records of
railroads.
To definitely fix one period-prefer-
ably three years-in which legal ac-
tion may be started relating to
transportation charges.
All the commissions recommends
tions are made in extraordinary brief
form and without discussion.
Otherwise. the commissions report
is a chronological review of Its work
of the year.
The work Of physical valuation of
railroads is we'll under way. With tho
coming winter the field parties are
Deing transferred from northern
roads to those in the South. There
are now eight parties at work survey
ing about 1900 miles month. The
number of parties will be increased
on January to about twenty for each
of the five districts.
At some length the commission re-
views its investigation of accidents.
Collisions caused by improper tagging
continue to be prominent feature of
those Investigations, the report says,
and cases of inexperienced men have
been found. The number of collisions
due to enginemen failing to regard
block signals has decreased.
1.-THE inherent weakness of the train
order system continues to manifest
itself as q prominent feature of the
accident record" says the report, call
ing attention to the need of legisla-
ton to make standard operating rules.
The general movement among the
railroads for higher freight rates the
commission dismisses with brief re-
view of the proceedings in the East
ern advance case which it decided last
August, and which is now again await
ing a supplementary decision.
Various decisions Of the commission
carried to the Supreme Court are dis
cuseed in some detail with references
to their application to interstate
traffic
