Procrastination on the part of a number of automobile owners in this city Is going to cost them ap- proximately s5,0oo, as the 15 per cent penalty or failure to pay their auto mobile license tax during the month of October took effect Wednesray, according to Judge J. P. Stiles of probate court.
 At late hour Thursday evening the office force in this division of the court were still at work, en- deavoring to check up the number of licenses issued during the last few days rush. During the day We'd nesday the office was closed and an attempt made to check the books which proved useless on account of the many checks arriving through the mails for the purchase of au- tomobile license.

AUSTRIA FACING
ECONOMIC CRISIS
American Banker Declares Sit
uatiOn Can be Remedied
-Criticizes Treaty.

VIENNA, June 12.-(By I. Y. 81
While the economic situation Of
Austria is desperate, II is not COM
pletely beyond salvation according
10 a statement made here today by
Otto Kahn. the American banker.
Mr. Kahn is investigating Austrian
conditions in detail. but he is not
connected in any way with the con-
ference of international bankers that
adjourned in Paris on Saturday
"The present desperate situation
of Austria is logical consequence Of
the Treaty of st. German. which was
piece of political and economic
lunacy" said Mr. Kahn. The de-
sire is growing everywhere to re-
pair the damage wrought by that
pact.
THE Treaty of st. German IS one
OF the great political plumbers Of our
time. Ii was the work OF men most
of whom are unfamiliar with funda-
mental conditions. Yet, l am not
pessimistic over Austria's future.
Austria and Vienna are indispensable
integral parts of the life of Europe.
In America the desire is growing TO
rediscover Austria for America with
a direct stream of gold from our
tourists. Austria is one Of the most
beautiful countries in the world.
America. although still under re-
action from the policies OF former
Pres't Woodrow Wilson, can do much
for Austria. although she cannot
NEEDLE in the affairs OF Europe.
However. the Austrian population
must show during the next two years
that il still has backbone to strug-
gle through darkness. towards the
light"
Mr. Kahn was the guest today at a
luncheon given by Sir. William
GoOde. the representative Of the
british government in Austria.
Speculation over the bankers
plans was increased by the news that
Frank A Vanderlip. American f.
nancier and former president OF the
National City bank OF New York
City. Will arrive here tomorrow. Mr..
Kahn would not discuss his trip here
further than TO say that he has no
connection with any plan for Anglo
American credits.
