The Auto on the
Wrong Side of the Street.

Where the law of the road Is statutory
pedestrians lawfully using public way have
a right to presume that drivers OF automobiles
will act in conformity with the law OF the road
as laid down by the statutes; and II driver
Of an automobile neglects to obey such law and
injury results. his failure to comply with the
statute is a circumstance which the jury may
consider in determining whether he was care
less and unless explained, is indicative OF neg
ngence. Where. however the circumstances
are such that, in the exercise of reasonable
care. the statute cannot be literally obeyed
which requires a vehicle to drive to the left in
passing another vehicle which il has overtaken
going in the same direction, no inference OF
negligence can be drawn from failure to drive
10 the left And 1t has been held that this rule
Of the road with respect to passing an over
taken vehicle on the left may not be invoked
in behalf Of one who has ceased to be a
passenger on the street which the auto
mobile is passing the wrong side.
II will be seen that there is scarcely less
uniformity with respect TO the application Of
the general principles than exists with respect
to the general principles themselves. This "a
a source OF qualification when one considers
the confusion and doubt attendant upon the
working out OF general rules OF law in the past
and the divergent lines of authority which have
frequently resulted therefrom. Numerous as
are the situations 70 which the courts have
been compelled to apply the general principles
which they have enunciated, the rapid increase
in the number OF automobiles is causing the
number of cases dealing with the question I'M
der consideration TO multiply at such a rate tha,
at present few phases Of the question renatn
concerning which the law is in doubt
1t is safe 10 prophesy that the time viii De
short until the law governing the reciprocal
duties OF pedestrians and Automobiles VIII
practically attain the certainty OF statutory
law.

the same standard Of care as he is under ordi-
nary conditions. For where, for example ne
has no notice OF the approach OF an automobile
until the flash OF it's light strikes his eyes, and
be suddenly finds himself in a place OF peril
he cannot be expected to act with the deliberate
Judgment OF a under no apprehension OF
danger persons in positions or great danger
not a rule, being held to exercise all the
presence OF mind and care OF a prudent and
careful man. And a pedestrian who, without
fault OF his own, is placed in perilous position
by the negligence Of a driver, cannot be held
to the same degree of elaboration and GOODNESS
as he is bound to exercise under ordinary cir
cumstances. Thus, where a pedestrian passes
safely in front OF street car, and is confronted
by an automobile running at an unlawful rate
Of speed, and is placed in situation OF unusual
peril, he is not chargeable with contributory
negligence in attempting TO pass in front OF the
automobile, II he has reasonable grounds for
believing that such course would be the safest;
and he is not chargeable with the consequences
of error OF judgment resulting from the excite
ment and confusion Of the moment.
One OF the common operations OF an auto.
mobile is towing or being towed. The act Of
towing a disabled automobile througl the
streets by means of a~Fope is not negligence,
and one who is injured by tripping over the
rope between the automobiles cannot recover
without proof Of other acts on the part OF the
drivers constituting negligence. And even
where the who is steering disabled ma
chine consents that a pedestrian may cross
between the two machines while they are stand
ing still, the granting Of such permission does
not constitute negligence unless he has reason
to believe that the chauffeur Of the forward
machine is about to start.
There is law Of the road arising from usage
and CUSTOM which requires persons travelling
upon a continuously used street to keep upon
the right side of such way. However, one may
lawfully use the left side of the road II there
is no travel at that time upon that part of the
way or if the travel is not so heavy as to make
his conduct source OF danger. But
driving on the left side Of the street must
always exercise a degree Of care commensurate
with his position, and that is usually a higher
degree of care than that required Of him while
on the right side OF the street.

a high degree OF success. His guidance
OF the singers throughout was most ex-
cellent in the attainment Of artistic re-
suits. both In mood and situation. and
he preserved with authoritative 1udg-
ment the swiftly passing outlines or
lyric and picturesque beauty by which
the superb ensembles Of the whole are
affiliated.

beauty OF spirit. lovely feeling and In

Nine. Hempel sang the Queen OF the

last night he showed some gain In
freedom of action.
Two other new representations in the
cast were the Pdpogena Of Edith Mason,
who sang her part adequately and acted
It very well. and the Second Lady OF
Julia Heinrich. Mr.. Braun was again
impressive as SdrustO. and Mr.. Goritz
