COLLISION ENDS JOY RIDE
Boys Terrify West Philadelphia,
Hit Mail Truck

An all-night wild ride in stolen
auto. at a rate of speed seldom less than
forty miles an hour, finally brought two
of the joyriders into police court this
morning, but the small detail that they
were under legal age prevented any i'm
mediate action and they will be held
for a hearing at the House of Deten-
tion.
At IL O'Clock last night four young
boys. all negroes. hopped into an auto
mobile standing at Fortieth and Lam
caster avenue. and shot. away before
any one could stop them. For the mex.
five or six hours reports of the joy
riders came floating to the ears of West
, Philadelphia police from all parts of
the district. They were Nldom in one
locality long. They proven to be the
'Flying Dutchman" for West Philade!-
ling, when their adventurous career came
TO an abrupt and disastrous end.
As they sped down Chestnut street
: at a forty-five mile an hour clip. they
came dangerously near ending the exist =
ence of a United States mail truck
driver who was also using a little speed
on his own account. The stolen auto
struck the mail truck squarely in the
middle and both machines were badly
wrecked but their occupants escaped
Chaukley II. Waters, the mail truck
driver, pursued the four boys and man
aged to catch two of them, who this
morning gave their names at the
Thirty-second and Woodland avenue
station house as Albert Walker. fifteen
years old, 1425 Hanson street. and
Charles Muriman. fifteen years old. l3lg

arrested and arraigned before gen.

The court sentenced the soldier to
confinement for thirty years in the
United States disciplinary barracks at
Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and directed
that he forfeit all pay and allowances

authority cut the sentence to fifteen
years. Emphasis was laid on the fact
by the reviewing authority, however,
that the offense was very serious one.
Other objectors are to be arragned for
similar acts of indiscretion and 1t is
presumed that like punishment will be
meted out to them.
The board appointed by President
