| GIVE A WEIRD
EXHIBITION
New ORLEANS WINS THE FIRST
GAME OF SERIES FROM LOCALS
THROUGH POOR PLAYING OF
THE LATTER.

Poor playing on the part of the
Pensacolas allowed New Orleans to
win the game at Maxent park yester-
day afternoon by the score Of to 2.
The locals chalked up eight errors. but
errors can be excused-it's the bone
head stunts that count, and these were
there yesterday afternoon on numer-
GUS occasions. The first inning was
really weird. Begins, the first man
up for the visitors was passed and
he went all the way around with an
opportunity at every base Of being put
out
The visitors scored three runs In
the first session before being retired.
The Pensacolas had an opportunity Of
winning in the eighth, but failed to
grasp 1t. Steward pitched consistent
and what would be winning ball with
any kind of support from the inheld.
Some Of the players OF last year who
were there with the goods have APP
parently lost everything they possess
ed and a few more exhibitions like
that of yesterday will doubtless bring
some new faces to Maxent park.
Well, here's the score:

Candidate for
County
Commissioner
District 4. Says:

County AFFAIRS must be hon
estly and economically man
aged. We, the tax payers, have
been battered around long
enough. own considerable
property in this county, and ex-
pect to own more. Taxes have
become a burden. But whether
one owns property or not. high
taxes increase the cost of living.
It was extravaganza to
squander the peoples money on
a palace for criminals. II the
money thrown away on this jail
had been put into schools, roads
and bridges, we would now have
the best county In the state.
Good roads and good schools are
an unreasonable necessity.
Your County Commissioner is
your hired man, and, when

wrong of him to close the door
on you. II you elect me, l Will

LESS NOISE.
MORE SAFETY
NEWARK ADOPTS SENSIBLE LAW
TO RESTRAIN MlsUSERs OF
AUTO HORNS.
Special TO The Journal.

Newark. N j., April 26.-Under the
new traffic ordinance just passed by
the city council, the automobilist who
niisuses his warning signal is made
guilty Of a misdemeanor, and liable to
a fine.
This requires that every automobile
shall be equipped with an adequate
signal and defines such a signal as one
producing an abrupt note, sufficiently
loud to be heard under all conditions
of traffic" but restricts its use to
times when It is necessary as a
warning of danger"
The ordinance is the outcome of a
consistent attempt to obviate the need
less noise evil and at the same time
Not only has the careless and indis
criminate use of automobile signals
been a source of much annoyance
from the standpoint of noise, but it
has been pointed out that such misuse
materially lessons their effective
ness when necessary In their true
function as means of warning. The
restraining measure has the sanction
of all reasonable motorists as well as
the general public.
New Jersey has long been the bat
tie ground for automobile legislation,
much of which has been sharply
criticised by national motoring inter
ests. The new law. following as il
does close upon the passage of the
state law prohibiting the use in towns
end cities Of the muffler cut-out and
the enactment of the New Jersey reel
procity bfll, puts the state we'll in
line for rea sonable and progressive
legislation of the better kind.
The new law just enacted by the
state of Maryland contains provisions
similar to the Newark measure, as do
the traffic ordinances recently adopt
Ell by Chicago and st. Louis. The en-
forcement Of the ordinance in these
two cities is said to have measurably
decreased the amount Of unnecessary
noise and the number of accidents and
to have made chauffeurs more care
full and considerate in the operation
| OF their cars. 1t is confidently hoped
/ that the same good results will be OBJ
| tanned in Newark.
! Washington. Philadelphia and Mil
vsukee. and several other towns are
at present considering the enactment
! % similar measures: as IS also the
| state of assachusetts. The workins
results of the new law In Newark will

Mayor Gaynor has wisely decided
to lay aside his assumption that
New York's police lieutenant is
necessarily innocent of the charge
of murder and graft, just because
he has heretofore enjoyed the on
fidence and esteem Of the mayor, and
now joins the demand for a sweep
ing investigation of the police sit
uation in New York. Loyalty to
friendship often makes good men
apparently condone evil, by declin-
ing even TO entertain an accusation
against those whom such men have
cherished as trends. Such a course
is a mistake. The best thing to do,
when anyone is accused is to court
a full and open Investigation. An
expression of belief by his friends
in the innocence of the accused is
sufficient evidence of loyalty. A
true friend should insist upon vim
dication if he believes one is ac-
cused wrongfully, and v~indication
can come only through public in
vestigation and %disproving charges.
