OBJECTIONS TO
RIDING TANDEM
CAMPAIGN ON IN BALTIMORE TO
STOP PRACTICE OF CARRY
ING RIDER.
cooneilmen Have Been Asked 10 Take
Ride BY Motoreyelists, But
Only One Has Accepted.

City Solicitor Field. Of Baltimore.
has inaugurated a campaign In the
council asking that an ordinance be
passed restricting mOtorcyclists from
carry ing tandem passenger on their
machines MIR. Field Is said to have
gwen his objection to this practice as
Delng too dangerous to the safety of
the tandem passenger. The members
OF the Baltimore Motorcycle Club are
making every effort to have this mo-
ton set aside and In order TO show the
officials their mistaken idea on the
matter. have asked each and every
member OF both bodies TO take a spin
across the country in order 20 be
shown the safety with which a tan
dem passenger can be carried. So
Tar only one member OF the council
has decided to accept the invitation
and he says that he will try anything
once In order to be convinced.
The feeling on the subject among
the motorcyclists OF Baltimore Is that
the originator OF this idea, n laboring
under false impressions and they are
willing TO do all In their power to
prove TO the officials OF the town that
tandem riding Is not nearly so dan
gerous as they think They point TO
the statistics In the list OF injured per
sons from this. and the figures show
that less number OF persons are in
tured in this manner than Is generally
supposed. The question will come up
