NEW SENSE OF POWER
TEMPTS MOTORISTS

Whenever the question of unnec-
essary noise so far as automobile
horns and other types of warning
signals are concerned comes up in a
community. about the first thing the
investigator discovers is, that the per-
son who has just become a motorist
is usually inclined to violate both the
speed and the noise ethics.
Roy F. Britton of st. Louis, in
speaking of this matter, said: THE
man we have the most trouble with is
the one who has just learned to drive
motor car. He revels in two facts,
sense of possession and a sense Of
power. 1t fairly thrills him to feel
that he has at his fingers end the
ability to drive his machine at break
neck speed, and to make people re-
alizc by the steady blowing of his
electric horn that he is approaching
Il do not think anyone can realize
this, the extent of this temptation.

MISSION OF MOTORCYCLE.
. A>>>>%>><>>~<><>

What is the mission OF the motor
cycle? Will it ever be so popular as
the bicycle? Has the sport of motor
cycling a future to compare with mo-
toring or with bicycling in its palmi-
est days? Does it appeal to the aver
age man or woman as the bicycle did?
Is that of motoring? Can one ride
motorcycle and be perfectly COM
Portable?
Up to the present time the motor
cycle has been used primarily for
practical purposes without a general
appreciation of its possibilities as
pleasure vehicle, except perhaps in
southern California, where the sport
OF motorcycling rivals that of auto
mobiling. As a commercial vehicle
the motorcycle has made good most
emphatically and it is believed that
the next few years will see a wonder
full development in the sport of motor
cycling. With a motorcycle like the
new Pope, which has a special patent
ed rear spring suspension. that insures
riding comfort without retarding
speed motorcycling becomes glori-
Gus sport There's a tigle and fasci-
nation to it that even automobiling
Iacks-a silent swift exhilaration
which no other sport except possibly
flying can approximate. Pope motor
cycles have eliminated the noise, the
bumps and jolts, the grease and grim.
the roadside fussing and fixing, which
in the early days of the motorcycles
may have deferred many from taking
it up for pleasure.
Although the motorcycle industry is
distinct from the automobile business
its growth and development during
the last decade has been almost az
great. Less than ten years ago there
were probably not more than thou
sand motorcycles in operation in the
United States. Today, 1t is estimated
that this number has been increased
several hundred times. The total
output of the motorcycle plants for
1873 will probably aggregate more
than 1850 machines. During the
last few years there have been many
! improvements in design and construc-
| ton and the MOTORCYCLE has now
reached a high state of perfection. All
the changes of recent years have re-
suited in the production of cheaper
more powerful, easier running. simp-
Her and more comfortable machines
with the elimination of many unde-
sirable features, which operated to the
detriment of motorcycling, purely as
a sport.
The 1913 Pope motorcycle can right
/ fully be called the little brother of the
automobile, and it will be used ac-
! cordngly.

places roads unsuited to the traffic

that traffic census should be provii-

her and ran down the stairs again.
On Christmas eve the strikers and
their families had gathered in the
hall to forget the long and bitter war
waged between them and the mine
operators.
There were seven hundred persons
in the hall. The Christmas exercises
for the children were nearly conclud-
ed. A bearded Santa Claus, burdened
with a huge pack of toys, had made
his appearance on the stage and the
distribution Of the gifts was about to
start.
Then a man thrust his head in the
front door and shrieked the word
that started the mad rush for the
stairway. Mrs. Caesar shouted a de-
NAL, but her words were drowned in
the cries of the panic stricken for
eigners.
The stairway became jammed with
a mass of bodies. Little children of
five and six years were swept in front
of the panicky crowd and sent tum-
bling down, their lives crushed out at
the bottom of the stairs when hun
dreds of others were piled down on
top of them.
A big man, mad with fear, his fists
doubled, fought his way over the
bodies of women and children to the
head Of the stairway, but there he,
too, was unable to withstand the rush
and he was sent tumbling to death.
Mothers seized their children and
fought like maniacs in their rush for
the doorway. Men and girls tore and
pushed at each other.
The more level headed attempted
to quell the riot with reassuring
words, but there are many languages
spoken in the copper country and
their efforts were misunderstood.
After the worst of the panic had
subsidized, passing citizens tried to en-
ter the building and were blocked by

lies were wiped out by the disaster.
Fifty-four families suffered the loss
of one or more members.
A mass meeting of the citizens was
held yesterday to devise ways and
means to take care of the victims
and assist the bereaved families.
President Meyer of the Western
Federation of Miners declared that
subscriptions from members of the
Citizens Alliance were not wanted.
II do not blame any member of the
Citizens Alliance for what has hap
pened," Meyer said. "If such a
catastrophe had occurred among the
wives and children of members of the
Citizens Alliance there would have
been mob rule and possibly lynchings
in the streets of Calumet"
Meyer said he would bring five wit
nesses before the coroner's jury who
would swear that the man who
sounded the alarm of fire wore a
Citizens Alliance badge, but that he
would make no direct accusations.
The strike of the copper miners
has lasted several months, and has
been one of the most bitterly fought
labor wars.
The operators have employed gun
men with criminal records. Women
and children have been ridden down
in the streets as though they were
cattle by the militia.
The citizens have allied themselves
against the striking miners. The
miners have been restrained from
parading or from picketing. Strike
breakers have been employed in the
mines and the operators have refused
to arbitrate any of the strikers diff
ferences.

Sent Infernat Machine to Rosalsky, In
 New York - John p. Farrell Breaks
 Down After He Had Been Given the
 Third Degree For Hours-Blnds Em-
 ployer.
 John Pauf Farrell, a gray haired old man, confessed at the New York police headquarters that he was q bomb fend. He told one of the strangest and most terrible stories ever told there.
 He said that year ago he had mur- dered his own daughter, Mrs. Grace Walker, sometimes known as Helen Taylor, with an internal machine that exploded ill her hands.
 He said that on March Is of last year he had sent an identical murder machine to Judge Otto Rosalsky in his apartments because the judge had sen- tenced friend of his to spend twenty years of his life in prison.
 He said that on Sunday night he had murdered Mrs. Madeline Herrera, blinded her husband, Bernardo, and maimed Miss Sarah Soughtman ill their apartment at 1475 Fulton. avenue, the Bronx, because the Herreras had dis charged him from his position as as s1stant janitor.
 When he had said this much the lit tie gray man curled up in a heap, and his screams of hysteria. of strained nerves, re-echoed through the corridors of the building. On a table before him lay rough working model of bomb he had constructed at Deputy Police Commissioner Dougherty's or ders-a bomb similar in every detail to the three deadly engines he had sent on their missions of destruction.
 On the floor the old prisoner lay and screamed and sobbed, calling over and over the name of his daughter, whose body he had rent and shattered In the most cowardly and cunning of mur- ders. Out of the shadows. of a dis eased mind. sapped by dissipation and degeneracy, came startling visions of the past to mock him.
 For Farrell had been under the tor ture and the mental agony of the third degree for twenty-four hours.

Fear of Indian Bomb Keeps Detectives
