The board, which IL comprised Of
Commissioner T.. Austin Baughman,
secretary or the Automobile Club OF
Maryland: Mr.. n. NJ. Lucins. and Mar

lish a list OF approved lenses by the
first of July. These lists will be
given widespread publicity so that

order to avoid arrest after that time.
Standard lenses like the McBeth,
Holophane. Osgood. COnophore, and
other set standard lenses will be sure
to pass the test as they have been
approved by many other states. The
board intends to eliminate by this
test and place restrictions on certain
lenses which are not as good as those

showed that a wholesale house kept
an automobile for the use of It's sales

gence a pedestrian was injured. There
was no evidence TO show that the
parties referred to had any right TO
use the car. or that they were using
IL in the prosecution OF their en-
ployer's business at the time OF the
accident. The court held that the
owner OF the car was not responsible
for the accident.

LEGAL POINTS FOR

Automobiles Used in Violation Of

NJ ouR LEGAL CORRESPONDENT.

A recent decision OF a Federal
court involves the liability to for
feiture OF an automobile used for an
illegal purpose without the knowl-
edge or consent. express or implied.
of the owner. In this case the car
had been intrusted to an employe OF
the owner TO be used In transacting
the usual business of the latter. The
employe secretly used the car to
transport on his own account some
liquor on which the Federal tax had
not been paid. This is made a ground
OF forfeiture by the United States
statutes, and the only question In
the case was whether the forfeiture
could be enforced as against an in
nocent owner who had no part or
interest in the violation OF the law.
The court decided that the machine
was subject TO forfeiture under the
facts stated.
This case should not be confused
with the question OF the forfeiture
or an automobile for carrying liquor
in violation OF the prohibition
statutes. As heretofore pointed out In
this series, an automobile so used Is
declared to be liable TO forfeiture to
the United States, subject to the APP
plication OF the proceeds of sale OF
the car first to any liens thereon, ana
then to the payment OF the costs OF
the forfeiture proceedings. Any bal
ance remaining goes into the treas
ury OF the United States. or course,
the question decided in the above
case also can arise under the prohibit
ton law, and in fact is now pending
in the United States Supreme Court.
Statutes and decisions against
price fixing seem to have been sue
cessfully circumvented by at least
one automobile manufacturer. This
concern contracted with an agent to
supply him with a given quantity of
ears. He agreed to pay S5 per cent of
the selling price OF the cars upon his
receipt Of the same, and stipulated

LAFAYETTE. IND. Oct. lo.-Gov-
ernor Cox is confident that through

Senator Harding, floundcrins in a

GUS break than he has yet made" for
him to lose. as one OF them put it at

The rival managers are far apart
