10Y RIDERS TURN IN
SEVEN FALSE ALARMS
Speed About Over City, Cut Antics

lice Busy.

Seven young men last nicht partici
pated in a wild JOY ride about the city
in an automobile belonging to Or w. S.
Hardesty. residing 1t the Wellington
apartments, and, the police aliege.
sounded seven false alarms of fire and
did stunts on the streets which amused
many spectators. The joy riders were
seen from time to time from 1:i5
O'Clock, when they took the physicians
automobile. until 1855 o'clock this
morning, when the last of the seven
alarms was sounded.
Headquarters detectives and police
men of the several precincts. some in
automobiles and. others afoot, comhed
the city for the young men, but at
dawn they had not succeeded in To-
eating the automobile or arrestins the
joy riders.
Fire department officials made bitter
complaint against the violators of the
law. The latter not only caused the
fremen much annoyance and the Dis
trict much expense. they stated, but
the numerous runs the sounding of the
alarms necesSitated tired out the men
and horses When the last alarm had
been sounded Capt. H. +. Mcconnell of

appeared as if they had been drinking.

gave tango exhibitions on the street
1t was 10:43 o'clock when the first
alarm was sounded. 1t was sent in
from box 424. located at LIST and X
streets southwest. and firemen who re-
sponded had no idea that the perpe-
traitors of the offense were going TO
keep up the trouble most of the night
The six other calls were made. how
ever, apd members of the two protec-
ton departments of the District gov
eminent were given very little rest.
Detective Weldon, in charge of the de-
tective office after midnight. kept in
constant communication with the pre-
cincts. urged that every effort be made
to apprehend the offenders and gave
notice that reward would be paid for
information leading to the arrest of
the seven men.
Most of the alarms were sent in from
the Bloomingdale and lexington sec
tons, and No II engine and No. truck
company had to respond to four of
them The alarms. locations of the
boxes and time the alarms were sound
