Motorcycle Noises.
Careful Riders Do Not Open Their
Cut0uts in the City.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: In an
swer to Louis MarshalPs letter let me
advise him to listen to some Of the
noisy automobiles that roll around the
streets
Mr.. Marshall may be lucky enough
to be the pround owner of some silent
twin six, but there are countless num-
bers of people less fortunate who have
to be content with some of our popular
makes of small noise boxes.
AS to Mr.. Marshalrs statement re-
earding the use of his cutout, LET me
do it in my automobile and I get a
summons" I want to say that I. being
an owner OF one of those wheezy con-
traptions that he refers to. don't dare
open my cutout in the city or in towns,
knowing that IL I did I would run
a great risk of receiving a summons,
and the only reason that some of the
motorcyclists are careless about their
cutouts is that they have been getting
away with murder" and sooner or later
they will be fined
The fact 1 want to bring forth Is
that all motorcycles are not noisy. as
MT. MdrSndH seems 10 tHink anu a
good many other automobllists seem
to think. / also want to state that a
noisy motoreyclist is as much of a nui-
sance to the majority of brother motor
cyclists as he is to an automobilist.
An extract from popular motor
cycle magazine reads thus: There are
two nuts in this world hard Ia beat.
One rides with an open muffleS; the
other keeps blowing his horn"
Now, maybe that will convince Mr..
Marshall that all Of us are not bent on
disturbing the peace.
In conclusion let me advise Mr. Mar
shall to pay more attention to some
OF the big trucks and small noisy auto
mobiles and less attention to some
foolish motorcyclist who will probably
receive summons the second time he
tries opening his muffier in city street.

Phil and Michael--who later made mill
ions of dollars on the racetracks Of tho
country. One Brooklyn historian said:
''In the days when the Dwyer broth

every butcher in Brooklyn that laid any
claim to fame or distinction among his
neighbors had a trotting horse and a
spring cart. That was badge Of dis
tinction. Interest in trotting horses. no
doubt. led the old Dwyer brothers to
the racing of thoroughbreds.
"Soon the butcher business became
minor consideration. But the Dwyer
brothers kept the shop there for many
years, serving the neighborhood with
good meats. AS / recall 1t now, for

hood situation for years. Moses O'Brien
took over the Dwyer shop less than ten
or fifteen years ago.

their time to racing. Both made large
sums of money. estimated at several
millions. Mike Dwyer was the plunger.
He bet large sums and he lost them
through crooked trainers and Jockeys.
Phil was the conservative member of
the combination and he had a consider
able fortune left. I heard, when he died

Berlin, June 2.
James P. Goodrich, former Governor
of Indiana, left for Moscow to-day to
begin a survey which he believes will
show that the Russian famine is not
ended, save in isolated cases, The sur
vey will be the most thorough vet made
by the American Relief Administration
and will include conditions Of the crops
now in the soil. Mr.. Goodrich said that
after the harvest this year many OF the
peasants will be self-supporting for the
first time in years
The peasant class, he added, was the
nearest to regaining private ownership
under the Soviet Government. which is
slowly making concessions in that direc-
ton.
Capt. Shaffroth, son Of the former
Governor of Colorado. arrived to-day
from Moscow I'm fed up with Rus
sia. and going to America" he said.
adding that Samara, which was one OF
the worst famine districts. Is now COM

iii Temper in the Senate.

A spirit of irritability, even Of pug
nacity, has crept into the United
States Senate. 1t ought to be put out
before it does real harm. 1t showed
itself on Thursday when Senator
McCUMBER Of North Dakota and
Senator ROBINSON of Arkansas made
for each other menacingly. The
intervention of Senators KING and
PoINDExTER prevented what might
have been a physical encounter.
Only day before this regrettable
incident Senator WATSON Of Georgia
was warned by the chair for an abu-
sive speech directed against Senator
LENRooT of Wisconsin. WATSON Of
course has been consistent offender
against Senatorial manners. In the
last year he has several times con-
Quoted himself in way which mer-
tied official rebuke if not expulsion.
His temper is evil and the Senate
has let 1t run almost unrestrained,
even after his threat Of assault
against Senator PHIPPs of Colorado.
The House Of Representative has
had many a row, but the Senate has
been comparatively free from vio-
lence. The House battles date from
1898, when the rough and tumble
fight occurred between MATHEW LYON
and ROGER GRIswoLD; but there was
no violence in the Senate until 1850,
when Senator FooTE of Mississippi
menaced Senator THOMAS H. BENTON
of Missouri with pistol. Twenty
years ago last February there was
the memorable encounter between
the two South Carolina Senators,
BENJAMIN r. TILLMAN and JOHN l..
McLAURIN, the latter beginning the
incident by referring to statement
OF Tn.LMAN's as "a willful, malicious
and deliberate lie." The two Sen
ators, as the Congressional Record
reported, met in physical encoun-
ter" AS a mater of fact, TILLNIAN
struck McLAURIN in the face and
then, in the languag of the sports
reporters, ''they traded punches"
The Senate was the scene of the
brutal assault upon CHARLES SUM-
NER in 1856, but that crime was not
committed by Senator but by Rep
resentative PRESTON BROOKS Of South
Carolina, who was enraged by SUM
NER's criticism Of Senator BUTLER,
also of South Carolina and kins-
man of the assailant.
The United States Senate should
not tolerate disorderly words or con-
duct. When it has a chronic trouble
maker like WATSON Of Georgia it
ought to discipline him and, if that
is of no avail, expel him. Dignity
must live in our most important leg
islative body. Let the New York
Board Of Estimate keep its crown as
the most belligerent of American
public assemblies.

Britain lent and how good ii is. there
is the question of the only right way
to do the cancellation if there is to
be cancellation. The attitude of THE
New York HERALD is that If the ma
tons involved in international war
borrowing and lending and the in
ternational war debts owed on any
score ever do get down to the busi-
ness of forgiveness of such debts, no
plan will be tolerable that does not
propose making a clean sweep OF
everything, reparations and all.

The establishment of neighborhood
law enforcement associations such as
were instituted by washington square
residents after the shattuck burglary
was advocated yesterday by j. Noble
Hays of the New York County Lawyers
Association as one of the best means
of creating public respect for the law
and backing the police force with or
ganized public opinion.
The suggestion was made to the COM
mittee on Law Enforcement of the
American Bar Association, which yes
terday concluded it's public hearings on
crime prevention and the need for judi
cial reform. I'VE will never have proper
law enforcement until the ctizenry as a
whole get behind the. police force and
cease their liberation of violations of
the law, which has grown up alarmingly
of late" said Mr.. Hays. Vigilance
committees of this sort would increase
the police a million-fold."
Exactly" remarked Judge William
B. Swaney of Tennessee, chairman of
the Law Enforcement Committee. ut
seems to me that this is going back to
the very roots of old English law, which
stresses the duties of citizenship rather
than the rights of citizenship, about
which we hear so much in these days."
lie hearings in New York, but another
session may be held in some other city
in July. From the evidence adduced at
these meetings the committee will pre-
pare a report on crime prevention to
be submitted to the general convention
of the American Bar Association in San
Francisco in August.
Judge Marcus Kavanaugh of Chicago,
one of the most active members of the
committee, said that statistics before
the committee showed that there were
seven times as many murders in the
United States in proportion to the popu-
lation as In Canada. and related the
story of the gamblers who were quarrel
ing on the Canadian side of the border.
wait It'll / get you on the American
side,'' said one Of them. "Ill plug you
full Of holes''
An average Of 1900 murders are COM
mitted in the United States each year,
according to statistics cited by Mr..
Hays. He thought moving pictures had
a good deal to do with crime and sug-
gested that instead of showing "scoun-
drels In the role of heroes" the film
manufacturers might do a public SER
vice by throwing upon the screen views
of prisoners working at hard labor in
the State Institutions.
''The trouble is they don't do It," re-
marked Ex-Governor Whitman, who is
member of the committee. You
couldn't get pictures of that kind"
well, anyway it would take some of
the romance out Of crime,'' responded
Mr.. Hays.
II am in favor of the severest penal
ties OR crimes of violence" said Mr.
Hays, land l believe in the abolition Of
the Sullivan law so that citizens may
be armed and ready to repell the at
tacks of bandits. The respect in Eng

believe all policemen would be assassi-
nated.'
The search of the home Of Walter s.
Ward without warrant was mentioned
by Mr.. Hays as recent example OF
disregard for legal procedure. and he
cited another case of District Attor-

mans way of finding out. Instead of

General Wu's Work for China.

When General WI PEI-FU appeared
as q Chinese leader foreigners in
China who had been hoping for the
restoration Of stable and peaceful
conditions expressed considerable
confidence in his ability and honesty
of purpose. The task which con-
fronted him was difficult. He had
no illusions regarding this, and he
possessed clear understanding of the
three important needs of his coun-
try: the suppression of the military
domination of the regional chieftains,
the unification of the north and south
and a representative Government in
which the people themselves and for
eign nations alike could trust. He
has not yet supplied these needs
they present too many complicated
problems for him to solve in his
short leadership-but he has realized
the hopes placed in him by ear
nestly striving to solve them.
China has been waiting for strong
man, a man perhaps of the caliber Of
the late YUAN SHIH-KAI, but without
his vaulting personal ambition. Since
his death long list Of aspiring lead
ers have appeared and had their
little days. YUAv's immediate sue
cessor, LII YUAN-HUNG, was forced to
resign the Presidency before he could
carry out any Of his plans. CHANG
HsuN, who arose in the south and
swept down on Pekin with great
promises of reform, proved only a
trouble maker by attempting to re-
store the Manchu dynasty and make
himself the power behind the throne.
CHANG Tso-LIN, a power in the north,
sought control of Pekin only to
satisfy his personal ambitions. and

self an able Premier, was only a local
politician when his real opportunity
came for serving China.
General WI distinguished himself
as a military leader by defeating
CHANG Tso-LrN'S well organized ana
superior forces before Pekin and
sending them back in broken rem
nants to Manchuria. AS CHANG was
considered the most powerful of the
tuchuns and invincible so far as a
Chinese army was concerned, the
trouncing which General WI gave
him will have particularly salutary
effect in repressing any other re-
gional leader who might aspire to
control Pekin. General WI instead
Of occupying the capital left the Gov
ernment there undisturbed and
sought the pacification of northern
China and the protection Of the rail
roads and other industries held by
both Chinese and foreigners.

Mr.. LLogD GEORGE speaks Of the

one billion pounds Great Britain
owes. But in the first place, it is
scarcely admissible to include in
war lendings and borrowings repara-

credits against debts to take into ac-
count what credits are good credits
