AUTO HOST is LIABLE.
Responsible For Injury To Guest Dur
ing Ride.

Annapolis.-When one person takes
another person out for ride in an
automobile in Maryland, the host is
liable for damages if the guest is hurt
during the ride. This ruling was made
by the Court of Appeals in a decision
filed in the case of Harry A. Fitzgarrel
against ]. Goodman Boyd, well-known
member of the Baltimore Bar.
Mr.. Boyd after accepting an invita-
ton to ride with Mr.. Fitzgarrel from
Baltimore to Laurel in the latter's car
on October Is, 1912, was thrown out of
the car, receiving a broken leg, q
sprained ankle and other injuries. He
sued his auto host, and the Superior
Court of Baltimore City gave him a
verdict of $1,755 damages.
Mr.. Fitzgarrel carried the case to the
Court of Appeals for final ruling.
In an opinion prepared by Judge
Briscoe the appellate court sustains
the contention of Mr. Boyd and affirms
the lower court.
Mr.. Boyd charged that the accident
was caused by the recklessness, want
of care, default and negligence on the
defendant, his servant or employe. in
attempting to pass vehicle at high
rate of speed and against the protest
of the plaintiff. The Court of Appeals
says that it should be understood by
owners Of motor vehicles that they as
sumo quite serious responsibility when.
they invite others to ride with them
in voluntarily accepting an invitation
to ride as guest" says the Appellate
Court opinion in one of its citations,
zone does not relinquish the right of
protection from personal injury caused
by carelessness."
Although he pays nothing for his
ride, he is in the care and custody
of the owner or driver and is entitled
to reasonable degree of care for his
safety" is another of the statements
of the opinion.

TO STRENGTHEN
PACIFIC FLEET
Sec. Daniels Announcement
Significant.
WILL STAY INDEFINITE TIME
After the Atlantic Fleet Pasces
Through the Panama Canal At the
Official Opening It Will Re-
main On the Coast.

Washington, D. C.-Secretary of the
Navy Daniels announced that after the
Atlantic feet of 20 battleships and
many smaller craft passes through the
Panama Canal next March on its way
to the Panama Exposition, it will re-
main in Pacific waters for long time.
While the present plans are more or
less vague, 1t is known that the fleet
is expected to maneuvre in Puget
Sound and cruise generally up and
down the coasts of California, Wash
ington and Oregon. 1t has not as yet
been decided to send the feet as far
West as the Hawaiian Islands, though
the Navy Department does not say
positively that such a cruise will not
be taken.
The announcement of Mr.. Daniels
is particularly interesting just now for
two reasons. The fighting feet in the
Pacific is already far stronger than
ever it has been before, and that adds
to the significance Of further strength
ening it with the bulk of the floating
armament of the United States for an
indefinite period. And this reinforce
ment will come at time when the re-
newed correspondence between the
United States and Japan may be ex-
pected to have reached a definite de-
velopment.
Both Sides Firm.
One chapter of this correspondence,
which showed unyielding fr,nness on
both sides, closed with the publication
here and in Toxic of the notes to date
The second chapter was opened in
reality the day before by the sending of
Mr.. Bryan's reply to the last japanese
communication, received at the De-
partment of State on June 10, from
the Japanese foreign minister, Baron
Kato.
In that communication Baron Kato
intimated that he would be pleased
to have an answer to the Japanese
note of August 26, 1913. In his note
of June % it is understood that Mr.
Bryan refers to the Japanese note of
August 26 merely enough to suggest
that Japan bring forward the other
aspects of the subject to which yelled
reference was made by the Japanese
Ambassador. At that point Mr. Bryan
rest his case, leaving the next move
entirely to the Imperial Government.
Mr.. Bryan has intimated that his last
note may be made public next week.
AS Gentle Hint.
1t is not expected, of course, that
the California controversy, which in
its most recent stages, was little more
than an academic discussion for pur-
poses of record, will reach a point
where the presence of the feet in the
Pacific will be necessity. But it is
believed that Mr.. Daniels announce
ment of his plans on the day following
the publication of the Japanese CORE
spondence may be intended as a gentle
hint of the firmness of the United
States in the correspondence. 1t is
known that news of Mr. Daniels an
nouncement has already been unofi-
cially cabled to Japan.

AUSTRIAN HEIR
AND WIFE SLAIN
Archduke Francis + erdinandand
Duchess of HOhenberg.
HAD JUST ESCAPED MOB
The Archduke Ferdinand Wards of a
Bomb Hurled at His Car in Saray.
ego, Bosnia, but Two of His
Suite Are Wounded.

Sarayevo, Bosnia.-Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir to the Austria-Hun-
garian throne, and the Duchess of
Hohenberg, his morganatic wife, were
shot Sunday by student in the main
street of the Bosnian capital a short
time after they had escaped death
from bomb hurled at the royal auto
mobile.
They were slain while passing
through the city on their annual visit
to the annexed provinces of Bosnia and
Herzegovina.
The first attempt against the Arch
duke occurred just outside the Girls
High School. His car had restarted
after a brief pause for an inspection
of the building, when Gabrinovics
hurled the bomb. This was so sue
cessfully warded off by the Archduke
that it fell iercely beneath the fol-
lowing car, the occupants of which
Count Won -Waldeck and Colonel
MerizZo-were struck by slivers of
iron.
Archduke Francis Ferdinand stopped
his car and. after making inquiries
as to their injuries and lending what
aid he could, continued his journey to
the Town Hall. There the Burgo-
master began the customary address,
but the Archduke sharply interrupted
and snapped out:
Herr Burgomaster, we have come
here to pay you visit and bombs
have been thrown at us. This is al
together an amazing indignity."
After a pause the Archduke said:
"Now you may speak"
She Falls Across Her Husband.
On leaving the hall the Archduke
and his wife announced their inten-
tion of visiting the wounded members
of their suite at the hospital on their
way back to the palace. They were
actually bound on their mission of
mercy when. at the corner of Rudolf
strasse and Franz Josef strasse,
Prinzip opened fire.
A bullet struck the Archduke in
the face. The Duchess was wounded
In the abdomen and another bullet
struck her in the throat, severing an
artery She fell unconscious across
her husbands knee. At the same mo-
ment the Archduke sank to the floor
of the car.
The assassins were Intercepted by
the police, and both seemed to glory
in their exploit. Prinzip said he had
studied for time at Belgrade.
He declared he had long intended
to kill some eminent person from ma
tionalist motives. He was awaiting
the Archduke at point where he
knew the automobile would slacken
speed, turning into Franz Josef strasse.
The presence of the Duchess in the
car caused him to hesitate, but only
for a moment Then his nerve re-
turned and he emptied his pistol at
the imperial pair. He denied that he
had any accomplices.
Prinzip is Is years of age Nedeljo
Gabrinovics is 81. He told the police
he had obtained the bomb from anar-
chists at Belgrade, whose names he
did not know He denied also that
he had accomplices and treated the
tragedy with cynical Indifference.

and mako the ground give all of it's due. In these countries every bi. of fertilizer has to be purchased, and the soil in many places has not the natural richness as noted in this country. Perhaps only in the New England states in this country, where the farms are very small and are conducted on the ln- tensive plan, are European methods persued, save in scattering instances.
 It has been held by some experts if the farmers of this country were even to utilize what is wasted or neglected, to say nothing of what is produced, there would be material difference in the cost of living.
 80 1t appears as if the feal solution of the troublesome problem will rest in & large measure with the tilfer of the soil. But then, housewives, by thrifty methods and avoidance o1 waste, can aid greatly. They may not be able for the time to secure pro- visions at lesser prices, but can make goods go further.

LITTLE LAUGHS (By PRUNNY.)
"Red Tape"


 We have heard much about "red tape" in government matters, but that can't hold candle to legal red tape"
 A prominent lawyer gave a good example of this recently.
 A case was before the court and the counsel for the defendant was examining witness.
 "Did you go to MT. Smiths house?' he asked the witness.
 "Yes sir," replied the witness.
 "What did he say," asked the counsel.
 Immediately the lawyer for the plaintiff sprang to his feet and ad- dressed the Court asking that the question be not allowed. The attor- neys argued for two hours on the ad- mission of the question. The learned judge retired to his private champor to think over the question, which consumed another hour. He finally returned to the court room and an nounced that the question could be answered. "Well, what did he say,' asked the counsel for the defendant, addressing the witness. "He wasn't at home," replied the witness.
