BIG AUTO HORNS
MAY HAVE TO GO

Automobile horns of the peace dis
turbing variety have fallen under the
ban of the police department and, at
the instance of Major Richard Sylvester.
District Commissioner West today re-
quested Corporation Counsel Thomas to
look up the law on the subject. with the
idea of framing an amendment to the
police regulations looking to suppress
the various noisier types used on the
honk. honk wagons
The reason for the police objection TO
the loud sounding horns, which is iden-
tical TO their campaign against noisy
bells some years ago at the height of
the bicycle craze, is the result of a com
plant made by Bernard II. Lane, of
4lO2 Kansas avenue.
In passing on the complaint Major
Sylvester declared that no horn making
a noise more than sufficient to warn
pedestrians should be tolerated
Corporation Counsel Thomas will de-
termine whether or not some meaning,
of the law cannot be made to soften
the voice of the tormenter.

The destination Of these troops re-

only explapation of the order is that
they are to be held in readiness for the
China expedition at the first warning
of an outbreak. Those who came on
the Logan asked first for news from
China, as they said that most of the
information on the subject which was
current in the Philippines came by
way of Washington. The officers of
the troops under field orders have
made preparations to leave on a "a

that they will be sent to Pekin.
