Detectives Employed by Motor

Rule Is Being Broken
SIXTY-TWO NUMBERS TAKEN
Organization Plans to Warn First
Offenders and Prosecute on
Second in Safety Campaign

Special officers in the employ of
the Motor Club of Harrisburg yester-
day began their work of securing evil
dence against drivers of automobiles,
motorcycles and all horse drawn ve-
hicles who are violating the various
requirements of the State and city
traffic laws.
AS a result of the first days work
violations by forty-five automobile
drivers and seventeen motorcyclists
were reported. The officers were at
work but few hours yesterday after
noon and last evening and the VIOLA
tions were wide in their scope, showing
that practically every provision of the
law and city traffic ordinance was be-
ing broken.
Among the cars whose numbers were
caught as violators yesterday were
eight members of the Motor Club of
Harrisburg and they will not be spared
in the prosecutions which are to he
brought when a second violation is
reported by the officers. Double and
even triple violations were made by
some OF the cars and a noticeable
thing about the motorcycles was the
lack of any rear lights and the use
of the cutout.
The officers spent most of their time
yesterday in the central part of the
city, although speeding was reported
from the western end of the city and

The addition of Bulgaria and Ru-

dicated by a dispatch from Bucharest
to Paris, stating that Bulgaria has OBJ

and is about to conclude similar ncgo-

plan, IL is said, Rumania will go to war
against Austria and Bulgaria against
Turkey.
Rumania aspires to the possession
of the Transvalian, and the Austrian
government is reported to have decid-

Turkey already has made preparations
at Adrianople and elsewhere south of
the Bulgarian border for IFS invasion.
The status of military operations
