Especial Gable TO The Call

BERLIN, Dec. 20.-Count Reventlow,
the eminent naval expert, is bitterly
angry over the fraternizing of the
American, English and French fleets

WOULD STOP BOYS FROM HANGING
 ON AUTOS

So much trouble has been created for the automobile owners of this city by youngsters who climb on the back of tho machines and steal very dangerous rides, that legal steps will be taken in the near future to stop this practice.
 For several weeks a number of small boys have taken liberties with tho au- tomobiles driven in this city and not only have they had narrow escapes from serious injury but at least one au- to was badly damaged when a nervy yOungster swung onto the top, which was folded over the tOnneau, and near ly ruined that part of the machine.
 Several boys have been badly injured in other territorial cities and as both threats and entreaties have failed to stop this very hazardous form of joy riding in this city, the automobile own CTS are preparing to present an ordi- nance to the city council, making it a misdemeanOr for any one to climb upon a moving automobile without permis- sion.
 The city attorney is now at work on such an ordinance and it will be present. ed to the council within short time.
