No Legislative Relief.

Cofncident with the discovery that the
case can be pressed for an early deci-
sion, the Automobile Club of Maryland
has lost out in its campaign for re-
peal of the law which now discrim-
mates against the motorists of the Dis

relief through the Maryland legislature
has been abandoned.
Osborne L. Yellot. counsel for the
Automobile Club of Maryland. has been
advised of the present movement to get
a decision in the United States Supreme
Court and has advised Mr.. Mark that
he Will bring up the matter at the
meeting of the Maryland association
April A. He will urge that club to con-
tribute to the fund that is required.
If the final outcome is favorable to
mean a savins of from twenty to thirty
dollars a year to practically every au-
tomobile owner in this city. That the
attorneys who have handled the case
have confidence in its merits is eyi-
denced by the fact that they are will
ing to go ahead with it, devoting their
time and services to it. although there
is little prospect that they will be COM
pensated to any proper extent for what
they do.

MOTOR TRUCK NOW
PROVES NECESSITY
No Longer Question of Where
It Stands in Modern Com
merCiaI World.
GREAT INCREASE IN USE
DURING RECENT YEARS
Being Adopted in City, Towns and
Villages, and in Many Coun-
try Districts.

There can no longer be any question as
TO where the motor truck stands in the
modern commercial world. The truck in
the past few years has risen from a more
or less venturesome experiment to the
one real big and efficient transportation
means. Where ten years ago there were
not more than a dozen trucks in the
United States. today there are thousands
of every size and type carrying on the
work of the business world.
The best illustration Of the rise of the
motor truck that can now be recalled is
the report made few months ago by
Secretary of State Mitchell May of New
York. This report declared that October
last there were 1900 licensed CONNER
cial motor vehicles registered in New
York state. This number, the report fur
ther declared, was an increase of 46 per
cent over the previous year
While New York state. having within
its borders the largest city in the coun-
try. has always been an acknowledged
leader In the use of motor vehicles. the
report Of Secretary May can be taken
as indicative OF the standing of the mo-
tor truck throughout the country. While
the figures are not available it is safe to
say that at least forty states have seen
a like increase in the use of motor trucks
In every city, town and village and in
many country districts one sees more
and more trucks being put into use every
day.
Truck Now a Necessity.
The reason for the popularity of this
vehicle Is obvious. The truck has become
an economic necessity through course
of experience and demonstration that is
as natural and logical as the following
of day by night
The truck is practical 1t will go any
where horse and wagon could be
driven. and in much less time Whether
the scene of operation is the crowded
steamship pier or railroad freight yard,
the congested city streets or narrow alley
entrances Of big business houses, the
truck can be driven. handled and maneu-
vered with greater ease and less space
than is required for team and wagon.
Cases where six horses and three wag-
ons have been substituted are more nu-
merous. and it is safe to say that there
is hardly a truck In operation today that
has not done away with at least four
horses and two wagons. These figures

apply to the heavy motor truck, the We
hicle of two, four or even six-ton ca
pacity. The lighter truck, with a capacity
of 1,o00 pounds to one ton, while operat-
ing in another sphere, has been and is
Just as efficient While the number of
horses and wagons discarded is not as
great per truck. it is not at all unusual to
lind business firms whose commodity is
comparatively light which have done
away with three to five one-horse wagons
since installing the power vehicle.
Adds to Profits Of Owner.
The truck is economical. Not only can
a power vehicle be operated for less
money than would be required for horses
and wagons to do the same amount Of
work. but it adds to the profits of its
owner In another way 1t brings him new
business because it works faster than any
horse and wagon outfit could: it accom-
plishes a given amount of work in less
time than was heretofore possible. and
this saving in time is being utilized by
thousands of business men in taking care
of a greater volume of business.
With these facts in mind. says John \.
WHY'S of Toledo Ohio, it is not difficult
to see that the field for the motor truck
is practically unlimited. Already it is be
ing employed in nearly 300 lines of busi-
ness Trucks are delivering every con-
, ceivable kind of merchandise, from pa
per of pins from the department store, or
the small basket of groceries from the
little suburban shop, to the huge boiler or
even the locomotive produced by the
largest industrial plant in the world.
There is nothing so small or SO large that
a truck cannot handle, for there are
trucks of every capacity. The truck has
demonstrated its worth no less in the
business of contracting. where several
tons of crushed stone or concrete or
structural iron constitute a load. than in
the delivery of flowers where half dozen
ten-pound boxes of expensive posies are
carried per trip.
In spite of the fact that thousands of
motor vehicles are now in use. and thou
sands more are being put to work every
day. the surface has only been scratched.
Month by month and year by year the
world will see thousands of other trucks
put to work for it has long since been
demonstrated to the satisfaction of every
one that the horse is an obsolete factor in
merchandise transportation.

TEST Of MARYLAND
AUTOMOBILE LAW
Appeal for Cash From District
of Columbia Motorists to
Press Cause.
CASE IN SUPREME COURT
TO BE CALLED SHORTLY
Lawyers Not Paid for Much Work
Done Since Appeal Was Taken
From State Courts.

The latter part of this month will wit
ness the test of the constitutionality of
the Maryland automobile law before the
Supreme Court of the United States, ac-
cordins to those interested in the ap-
real made some time ago from the lower
Maryland courts. The case is now on the
docket, and is expected to be called with
in the next few weeks.
The case is that of j. Tilman Hendrick,
arrested July 81 1910, by the Maryland
authorities for operating an automobile
in Maryland without a license from that
state. He was arrested at Hyattsvlle
and fined $40.
His case was appealed by his attorneys,
Ralston, Siddon & Richardson, and
Clement l.. Bowie. These lawyers had
been retained by the National Association
of Motorists to make test case OF Mr..
Hendricks arrest and fine. When this
association dsbanded the case was con-
tinued on the docket and has received
the attention Of the attorneys since that
time.
This case is of especial interest to
mortorists of the District. They pay ap-
proximately $4,000 annually for licensing
their motor cars.
