10 THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JTNE 21, 1913. MOTORCYCLESARE TOO NOISY Complaint it Alto Made of the Speed They Attain. 3)0 NOT DISPLAY NUMBERS JVtlllon Are Started In (he nl denre Section of Cltr Complain In ot (tie Raclnir Tactics of Thnie Machines. If there Trere a campaign In Omaha to eliminate unnecessary noises, the motor cycle would be one ot the first Institu tion attacked, according to members of the Bconoralc league, who have their discussions seriously hampered by the roaring Molljy of exploiloni that pour In through the open windows as the motorcyes tear down the atreet on the nlRhta when the league Is In session. The league la not the only organisation that would have the noise ot the motorcycle abolished, but It Is only one of the many that feel the need ot a better muffling ayshfm ore the motorcycles. In the midst of the discussion Thursday right Ollcer T. Eh-lckson ot Seattle had lilt voice completely drowned several' times by the storm of rapid fire reports of a speeding motorcycle that dashed down Hamry street. Tho members ot the Kconomle league chairman and all, leaned forward with their hands to their ears In on effort to hear the speaker. A street car clanged by Immediately afterward and the speaker's voice was much more readily heard while the car was passing than While the motorcycle was in the neighborhood. Nolle la Unnecessary. Everywhere on the streets the same Unnecessary noise of tho motoroyclo Is heard. The machine Itself Is not one tenth as large as an automobile and It makes more noise. At times they run ftirioothly without making the noise of a battle of Waterloo, but at other times the driver seems to take delight In ''throwing her wide open" as he shoots tip the street just to vee how much noise tie can make. The honk of the auto, mobile horn that warns pedestrians to tep said from nn approaching auto tnoblle Is completely lost and smothered In the roaring ot any little motorcyclo that happens to be dashing down the tftreet From the postofflce building most any nay can be heard the thundering of tho motorcycles in the little shop on Capitol avenue near Seventeenth atreet. The postal clerks groan wearily, scratch their heads, stlok their pens behind their ears, gaze out of tho window and say unkind things. They take up their pen again and Just "stand for the racket" because there Is nothing else to do. The barbers in the barber shops along this section of Capitol avenue get nervous and cut their strops, the laundrymen In business along this street, drop bundles and for get to write names on the bundles, as the motorcycles- roar In the adjoining chop, and wttnessos In the federal court are asked to xepeat their testimony more than once as- motorcycles thunder down the street. Automobiles .used to make more noise than they do-until the muffler waa per fected. Petitions ore being circulated In two neighborhoods for presentation to the city commissioners to see If something cannot be done to stop some of these machines from making race tracks of the smooth pavements of some of the residence sections. Complaint la also mado that very few motorcycle owner are complying with the law, which requires them to have numbers on their machine both fore Hid aft "Warrants Issued for Coal Dealers , Warrants for the arrest ot forty coal Coalers on a charge of falling to pay their occupation taxes were secured by John Grant Pcgg, city sealer ot weights end measures.

J., June 20.-Ixjula, the fast pacing hen, and K1 Short, the local hotel keeper, are the two most dls tlngulfhed beings In this town today. Louisa's claim to fame Is that she out- footed an Krte express train by pacing it from Domnrest to Cresskill In fourteen seconds. Ed Short's distinction is that he Is the owner of Louisa. Two years ago this came fast fowl gave George Deacon and his automobile herl dun from Closter to Cresskill, but her latest achievement has made her owner wonder whether the speed laws may not he enforced nCnlnst his favorite hen. Louisa had taken a nWnlng constitu tional up to Demarcst and waa coming back on the down track when the Nyack Express whistled from Demarest. The news of the peril of the famous hen was flashed back to Cresskill. Meanwhile Louisa had heard the train coming on In the rear anoTbcgon to pace her way back at a good swinging stride. All the Crrasklll commuters were as sembled nt the station to dee what would happen. Louisa never lifted a wing. She kept about fifteen 'yards ahead ot the I snorting locomotive nil the way down the track, and as she came In front of the I Cresskill depot she paused, scratched her nose and waddled to one side. Time, four teen 'seconds. Thomas Longfleld, veteran poultry fan cier and ribbon .winner, stated that he would lay odds of two-to one that Louisa I could keep in the middle ot the road longer than any bird ever grown In the state ot New Jersey.. Mr. Short's pacing hen, he promised will be put on tile track at Engtewood next Saturday and . meed against the SparUhlll Flyer for any money any com muter may care to risk.
