URGES CARE
IN SOUNDING
AUTO HORNS
Eliminate All Unnecessary
Noises, Says Motor Club
Official.

An appeal to motorists generally
to aid in the elimination of senseless
noises and to take the raucous notes
out Of those that seem relatively
useful has been made by Todd
Stops, secretary-manager of the
Hoosier Motor Club. While the auto
mobile has brought innurnerable
blessings, Stops points out, it also
has brought innumerable noises that
should be eliminated.
EVERY motorist is compelled to
use the horn on his car. 1t is a
vital bit of equipment" says Stops.
"However, there is an intelligent
standard in this aspect of driving
that every motorist can try to reach.
Movement Launched
"a movement has been launched
by the American Automobile Asso-
citation with which this club Is af-
f11iated, toward the elimination of
useless noises by automobile owners.
Certain classes Of motorists, entire
~ through thoughtlessness of course,
never find themselves in any sort Of
traffic predicament that their first
thought is not for the horn button.
when approaching street inter
section, regardless of the fact that
the pedestrian has the right of way,
they resort to the horn in a SEEM
ing attempt to blast the walker out
of his legal rights.
Often Imperative
"There are dozens of times when
use Of the horn is absolutely impera-
tive. When passing another vehicle,
one is legally compelled to give a
warning. A warning is enough.
Rounding curves, usually calls for
the use Of the horn. Here is another
case when there is a reasonable limit
to the use Of it.
Zone Of the most annoying Of
noises is that created by the auto
mobilist who wants to attract the at
tentton Of some one inside build
. ing.
use the horn, but use it intelli-
gently"

This debacle came as a climax
to a disheartening series of defeats
such as Tilden hasn't known since
he became Tilden.
AS a result, the courts stand to
lose a great champion and the
stage gain, to put the matter
charitably, an Indifferent actor.
!. Tilden is back in the theatrical
racket again. after dropping $4,000
on Broadway last winter. Only a
fraction of this sum, it now de-
velops, was Tilden's money, it being
reported that a well-known tennis
official, among others, having gone"
for $4,000. The latter, apparently
a die-hard, is said to be interested
in Tilden's newest ventures, which
include another play and another
picture.
His re-entry into the theatrical
field means another distraction
from tennis at d time when he
seems to need intensive application
to the sport that made him what
he is today. The fact that he ap-

noted by the critics but they lacked

However, the teIItale signs seem

FrencIlmen, LacOste and BOrOtra,
at the indoor meetings, it was in
timated that his great mind was
occupied elsewhere and that he
never was a first-cIasS indoor
player, anyhow.
But the show blew" shortly
thereafter. and Tilden hied himself
South for a period of intensive tour

courts and undivided interest in the
matter at hand, he was expected to

CHAPMAN HANGS
\ FOR HIS CRIMES
Gerald Chapman, Murderer and Mail
Robber Pays the Penalty at the
Wethersfield Prisou-Long Fight
Through Courts of No Avail.

Weathersield Prison, Conn, April
6.-Gerald Chapman, murderer and
mail robber, was hanged in the pris-
on early today. His life was taken
by the state in atonement for the
killing of Policeman James Sicily at
New Britain on October II, 1924.
A few minutes before Chapman's
neck was broken by the automatic
Hanging machine, the third reprieve
given him by Governor John H.
Trumbell to permit counsel to battle
inxhe courts for the mans life.
The governor, in final appeals for
still another reprieve, refused to
grant "even another hour" The
courts, federal and state, for lack of
D evidence, or legal reasons, had de-
clined to grant new trial. Chap
mans hope for delay in execution,
waning as his counsel lost in the
courts, faded when the board of par
dons rejected his application for
communication to life Imprisonment.
In the death chamber were the Of
ficials required by law, representa-
tives of seven daily newspapers IN
Hartford county, who under the
same law were permissive witnesses
and three persons selected by the
condemned man. The officials were
Warden Henry K. w. Scott of the
rtNson, Deputy Warden Geo. H. Starr
Dr.. P. B. Batty, the prison physician,
DR.. E. G. Fox, medical examiner Of
the town representing Coroner J.
Gilbert Calhoun, George H. Bradley,
parole clerk of the prison and num-
. Der of guards.
I Chapman walked the distance of
ten feet in his cell to the death cham
Der across a narrow entry. A guard
stood on either side of the moose.
The new, we'll stretched rope disap-
reared in the ceiling, the unseen end
being attached to hidden machine.
His prison garb had been replaced
by dark suit. He wore felt slip
pers and a low white collar. Chap
man had been conducted from the
cell he had occupied for year to the
death cell during the forenoon. He
ate his last meal in this cell. The
building is a new one and this was
aae first execution in the chamber.
