WINS SUIT AS TO AUTO
STOLEN FROM GARAGE
Cumberland, Nd, Physician Fully
Recompensed, Machine Being
Recovered and Sold.

An interesting suit has recently
been decided in Maryland, which
might prove of interest to local pro-
prietors Of garages and owners OF
automobiles The suit in question
was instituted by a physician OF Cum
berland. Md. against a garage.
The physician left his car at the
garage on December 13, 1918. Return
ing two days later. he presented his
ticket for the car. but the garage
owners were unable to produce it.
Later it developed that the car had
been driven out of the garage by an
unknown person. The machine was
filled with whisky and driven to
Georgia Several months later the
car was recovered and returned to
Cumberland. 1t was sold for $2,1OO.
In his suit the physician alleged
negligence on the part of the garage
proprietors on the ground that they
had permitted the car to leave the
premises without presentation of the
proper check and also because proper
steps had not been taken to identify
the person claiming the machine.
For the garage proprietors it was
contended that they had not been
negligent and that notices were post
ed in the garage disclaiming any liza
bility for the theft. The verdict was
for the difference between the value
! of the automobile and expenses in
! CURED by the physician in it's. re-
| covery and the proceeds of the sale
which amounted to $1,81s.

WOULD CHANGE MOTOR
LAWS OF MARYLAND
Efforts May Be Made to Abolish
Commissionership and Give
Counties Authority.

According to reports, efforts Will be
made during the coming session of
the general assembly of Maryland to
abolish the position of state motor
vehicle commissioner and to transfer
the duties of that official to county
officials. The proposition is to lodge
in the hands of the clerks of the varI-
Gus counties and of the clerk of the
court of common pleas OF the state
the power to issue licenses. while
sheriffs and their deputies in these
counties and the police of the cities
would be charged with the duty of
enforcing the traffic laws.
1t is further proposed that while
the receipts from the auto licenses
shall go into a general fund to be de-
voted to road repair. there shall be an
apportionment of this fund among
the several counties. One member of
the Maryland senate is convinced by
Evening star., 1919-12-28

the system proposed there will be a
more rigid enforcement of the laws
for safety on the highways. Under
the present system he says that the
enforcement must necessarily be hap
hazard and spasmodic, since the en-
forcement officials of the motor We
hicle commissioner cannot police all
of the roads of the state at the same
time.
He is also convinced that automo-
bile owners who observe the law. and
especially the county physicians. who
have almost entirely substituted the
automobile for the horse. are demand
ing consistent enforcement of the
traffic laws against violations. 1t is
figured that the local enforcement OF
the laws will net a saving of, approXi
mately, S150.000 annually.

The American oil interests In
Mexico, IL was learned, have not re-
ceded from the stand originally taken
that their vested rights in Mexico
must be recognized and that the anti
foreign and confscatory features OF
tho new Constitution must not
operate, ex-post facto, against them.
From recent advices, II appears.
the new attitude OF the Mexican peo-
pie. at least, and IL Is believed In
official circles that this attitude is
inspired by the Government, Is to
recognize the rights OF all people in
cluding foreigners to their vested
rights under International law.
The recent visit OF Rafael Nleto.
acting Minister OF Finance in the
Government to New York,
where he consulted with International
bankers regarding the prospect of o
loan to Mexico and the correspond
ence which has taken place between
tour and President Carranza, which
resulted in the latter extending an
invitation to President Diaz's expert
cnced financial aid. are believed to
have been two influences that have
changed tho stand OF the Mexican
Government.
Nieto is known TO have met with
no success and little encouragement
in New York beyond a promise o.
consideration OF the request when
Mexico showed she would accord
proper treatment and protection to
foreign investors. Limantour must
have advised Carranza, officials be-
lieve, that Il would be impossible TO
secure financial aid for Mexico so
lone as the Government maintained
its hostile attitude toward foreign
investors.
