ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS DE¬
CLARE AUTOISTS WILL BE
MORE CAREFUL IN FUTURE
USE OF LOCKS ADVISED. ,
ATLANTA, Ga., Feb. 8 .— Auto
owners in Atlanta and other sections
of the State, in commenting today
upon a recent decision of- the United
States Supreme court, declare that
the ruling has placed a new and im¬
portant responsibility on them. The
decision, rendered in connection with
prohibition enforcement, holds that
the owner of motor vehicle lS 1s re¬
a
sponsible for the use of it in trans¬
porting booze to the extent that the
yehiclfc may be confiscated if thus en¬
gaged, whether the owner consents,
or even knows it is so used.
A business man or a social leader
may leave a car standing and with-’
out the knowledge or consent of the
owner it may be borrowed to 1 do a
little transporting and if caught itr
the act it may be confiscated, with¬
out recourse. Joy riders, with or with¬
out permission, seeking to enliven the
joy-ride with contraband, may cause
the kind and accommodating owner
of the car to loose it. Hard Isn’t it?
And apparently, it is claimed, a cruel
and unjust invasion of the right of
private ownership.

PRIVATE GROOM, PRIVATE FEED

SOME OF THINGS PROVIDED
FOR RACER.
LEXINGTON, Ky., Feb. 3,—Every
lavished on royalty is to be
portion of Man O’War, world
thorough-bred at Hhiate
near here, where he has just
retired to the stud.
A private groom, private feod tubs,
private pasture where he is allowed
run loose, these are some of the
that are being provided by his
Samuel D. Riddle of Philadel¬
and Miss Elizabeth Daingerfield,
woman breeder of thorough¬
breds, under whose care he has been
placed. ’
Animals such as Han O’War are not
allowed to do Ihe many things their
plebian brothers and sisters do that
might expose Maryland, where he was
Stabled after his return from his tri¬
umph over Sir Rhfton at Winsdor, he
Was placed in t^r k^jiadded automobile
and hauled to impress car. On his
arrival/in LexingM be was unloaded
into another atitorai >ile and taken to
Kentucky Jockdir C i race track for
exhibition to sdipi ig thosanda of
Kentuckians.
to When Hinata he farm. was take^ from nee the of tr & Tlx k
miles, he was again placed in an auto¬
mobile
caught with liquor in a car. He had
bought the car, an the installment
plan, from an automobile dealer in
Atlanta. At the instance of the other
automobile dealers in Atlanta, this
automobile dealer carried the case to
the court of last resort, showing that
Th o mpson had paid but few insta ll
ments on the automobile and that the
title rested in the automobile dealer,
The high court, however, declared the
car forfeited.
Justice McKenna, of the U. S. Su¬
preme court, reading the majority
opinion indicated the belief that should
the court hold that the right of con*
fiscation extend only to the interest
of the offending purchaser, it would
be aiding violation of the prohibition
law. Bootleggers could always buy a
car on time and thus run risk of very
small losses.
This,, it is stated here, is iefieed a
very dangerous law from the ear
owners’ point of view, bat as oainte<J
out, it should emphasize the meed of
being careful.
“Don’t lend your car to irrespon¬
sible persons and be sure it is locked
when you leaye it on the street, say
prohibition enforcement officers. ‘Thtf
number of losses from thefts of -ars.
added to the number of wrecked cars
resulting from irresponsible joy rid¬
ing, should have taught carefulness
long ago. Owners have learned, in¬
deed that if they wish to keep their
cars they must be constantly on guard.
The 1 ruling of the supreme court ad¬
mits another hazard to the .owner and
every possible precaution should be
take# against it.

to the farm. There he
and placed in a stall special¬
ly prepared for him, with the com
panion of all his travels, Major Treat,
the old steeple chaSe racer, on one
side and Golden Broom, Mrs. Walter
M. Jefford’s four-year-old stallion on
the other. For Man O’War loves
equine company and he ia -to be kept
satisfied by having his chum with him
as well as another high bred animal.
Although Miss Daingerfield,, whose
reputation as a breeder of race horses
is second to none, has said that “a
horse is a horse and Man O’War will
just have a stable,” she told the rep¬
resentative of The Associated Press
that she had remodeled a barn on the
farm for him. The box stalls prepar¬
ed for Man O’War and Golden Broom
are large and roomy, giving them
plenty of room and Which to turn and
lie down at will.
Feed tubs for Man-O’War have been
specially built by a Lexington
smith, special precautions being
en to see that the famous racer
not farm, injure himself. The stalls in
i°f are iqpch like those in the
any thoroughbred breeding
but through and about the barns at
hours of the night a. watchman

any of the racers.
In a house nearby will live
Loftus, the man who always has
ed for Man O’War, since his baby
on August Belmont^ “Nursery
six miles from Lexington on
George town pike, and where his
Mahubah and his sire, Fair Play
are stabled.
Loftus will stay with the
horse, caring for him by 'day and
call at any time that his services
bp needed.
.. Man O’War is a well behaved
imal and no extra precautions
been taken in his stall to prevent
injuring himself,” said Miss
gerfield, “We have made no very
usual preparations for him. I have
a stable remodeled with three
one for Man O’War, one for
Broom, Mrs. Jefford’s stallion and
Smaller one for Major Treat,
OTVar’s companion. I have
a small house nearby for IFrank
tus, his groom, to live in. The
nightwatchman of the farm will

grooms and caretakers are not
