Motor Cyclists Arrested.

1t is reported that eight motor cyclists
were arrested last Sunday charged with
carrying tandem passenger on a
machine that was not equipped with a
metal hood covering The rear wheel.
These cases We're all reported to the
legal committee of the National Capital
Motor Cycle Club. which. while none of
the riders arrested were members of the
club. turned the cases over to the club S
attorney, who secured a postponement
OF all of them until after a decision has
been rendered i'll the case of William NJ.
Ferguson, who was arrested on a similar
charge This case is scheduled for q
hearing III Police Court tomorrow, and
will be handled by the clubs attorney.
1t is belieI ed that a favorable decision
in the Ferguson case will mean the
dropping of all the others, and that tam
dem riders will not thereafter be inter-
fered with.
The canvas guard with which some
machines are fitted IS believed to at
ford all the protection needed. No case
has come to light in which a riders
clothing has been caught in the driving
gear, and the only advantage in a
hood. metal or canvas, over the rear
wheel is its protection Of the passen-

United States troops are situated from
fifty to 100 miles from railroad, and the
