INDIGNANT CITIZENS
AFTER NOISE MAKERS
Committee VIII Probably Be Or
ganized to Secure Arrests of
Motorists Who Use Cut-out

There is rising tide of protest
throughout the city on account of the
disregard by motorcyclists and auto
mobile drivers of the regulation
against open cut-outs in the city. I'm
less the cycle policemen are more
successful in stopping this nuisance it
is quite likely that a committee of
citizens will take the matter in hand
Those responsible for the internal
din of an open cut-out manifestly
fall to realize that they are involving
all motor users in trouble. Notwith-
standing all that has been done by the
Motor Club of Harrisburg and the
sane and safe drivers of automobiles
generally these speed Iunatics con-
tinue their outrageous game of indif-
ference to the rights of others 1t is
not improbable that the decent users
of motorcycles will themselves in self
protection aid in the punishment Of
those who make life miserable by
their noisy performances throughout
the city.

currence for joy riders to open their

pie. ut is bound to be stopped. IL a

claration of an indignant citizen to-
day.

The crowding of passengers to one
side of the boat is supposed to have
caused the tragedy but authorities, not
satisfied with this explanation, ordered
the arrest of officers of the boat and
Captain Harry Henderson and Dell
Fisher, first mate, were taken to police
headquarters.

the boat began to turn over. Best

scratched faces, torn clothing and
bruised bodies of the dead bore mute
evidence of the desperation with which
they had fought for life.

than five minutes. Members of the
crew shouted warnings as the steamer
first tilted and endeavoFed to drive
the passengers to the upper side of the
