Democratic Fight Looming Up Again The Philadelphia Evening Tele graph Is of the opinion that there will be a fight when the Democratic State Committee meets here. It says that some of the "dry" Democrats may try to stay on the ticket. It says in part: "A veritable political hornet's nest has, however, been apparently stirred up in the ranks of the Democratic party in Pennsylvania by the efforts of former Congressman A. Mitchell Palmer, the Pennsylvania member of the Democratic National Committee, to swing votes for Bonniwell. "Palmer's declaration that he, per sonally, would support Bonniwell at the general election in November has not met with favor among many of those Democrats who opposed the judge's candidacy. When the Demo cratic State Committee meets June IS some Democratic leaders predict that the Pennsylvania Democracy will be split wide open if Bonniwell and his friends attempt to either control it for the purposes of dictating the elec tion of a new Democratic State chair man friendy to them or of sidetrack ing the national prohibition issue. "Former Mayor Vance C. McCor mick, of Harrisburg. Democratic na tional chairman, who has been closely associated with Palmer in the Demo cratic councils of the state. Is main taining a profound silence regarding Bonniwell'a candidacy, but there are Democratic leaders who declare that McCoiniick. an ardent prohibitionist, will refuse to enter into any 'harmony pact' with the judge and his support ers that would commit the Democratic state organization." CUSS IX SPEAKING CLOSES FOR SIMMER "Self-consciousness Is the greatest foe the public speaker has to over come," declared Dale Camagey, an author of a course in public speaking, addressing the closing dinner of the class in public speaking at the Cen tral Y.

POLICE CAPTAIN TO SEE GOTHAM TRAFFIC WAYS Needed Rules For Protection on Streets Discussed "by City Officials While Mayor Keister did not ask Council to act finally on the traffic ordinance recently introduced, fol lowing the regular session a discus sion of needed traffic rules was held by some of the officials. Commissioner Burtnett again sug ge'ued the use of semaphores in the business district, declaring that to many motorists the "wigwag" arm system of the traffic officers is con fusing and that much better results would be obtained by following the plans used In larger cities. Mayor Keister announced his in tention of sending Captain Joseph P. Thompson to New York for two weeks to make a study of methods used in training pqlice there with a view to establishing a similar school here for the officers. Other mem bers of Council favored the plan, which will be discussed at the monthly conference of police, officials later in the week. Captain Thomp son, upon his return, would be giv en charge of the classes, the Mayor said. The recent survey of the police department made by the New York Bureau of Municipal Research for the Chamber of Commerce, which included traffic improvement sugges tions, was considered during the uis cussion. Among the points which ♦he offi cials debated was one-way traffic streets and changes in routing of street cars in the downtown section so that Third street could be made a one-way north, instead of south as at present. Mayor Keister told the Commis sioners he had ordered a traffic offi cer to be placed on duty each Sunday evening during the summer at Front and Market streets, because of the increasing traffic at that point. He has also ordered traffic officers on duty from 4 to 6 o'clock ii) the afternoon at Cameron and Market streets, a busy street car transfer point, and is considering a sugges tion to place. an officer at Sixth and Maclay streets during rush hours. Because of the amount of dirt and stones washed from Derry street to Cameron street during heavy rains, Commissioner Lynch said ho will use bricks removed from streets in the park extension zone to pave this highway from Cameron street to Sylvan Terrace. After heavy storms the street car tracks in Cameron street aro almost blocked by tr.e mud washed from Derry street, due to till steep grade. NOISE BY AUTOS WORST IN HISTORY [ConUnued from First Pape.] But we have an ordinance which prohibits this." Against City Ordinances And in the city ordinance "regu lating the use of public highways and prescribing a penalty for the violation thereof" are found these significant rulings: "Ji© *Hotor vehicle shall be oper ated In such a manner is to emit an undue amount of steam, smolce, or products combustion, or to drop oil or other injurious substances on any highway "Every motor vehicle using- gaso line or other explosive mixture of substance as a motive power shall at all times be provided with and use a muffler or other apparatus sufficient to deaden the sounds of the explo sions." Concerning the excessive use of auto and motorcycle norns, the ordi nance says: "Every vehicle, other than one drawn by an animal or animals, shall, when in use, eprovided with a signaling apparatus sufficient to give due warning of the approach of the vehicle. But no such apparatus shall emit a sound unduly loud, an noying or distressing, or such as might frighten animals or pedes trians." Purther the statute books say: "Sound signals are prohibited except for necessary warning." Penalties Provided Section four of the ordinance, providing penalties for violations of the ordinance says: "Any person violating any of the above provisions of this ordinance shall, on conviction thereof before the mayor or any al derman of the city, be sentenced to pay a fine of not more than fifty dol lars or in default thereof to be im prisoned in the county jail one day tor each dollar of the fine imposed, not to exceed thirty dollars." In Spite of Ordinance While'these rulings appear on the statute books of the city, excessive noise in the city, twenty-four hours per day continues. Complaints are heard on every side and pleas for the discontinuance of the nuisance are especially urged. All through the day the good people of Harrisburg are being annoyed by the shrieking of auto and motorcycle horns and at night their slumbers are rudely dis turbed even after the wee sma' hours of the morning. Workingmen, es pecially those who must arise early in the morning to get to their places of employment, are complaining. They need their rest, they say, and they cannot get It in the morn ing. "The nuisance should be broken up and it is the duty of the members of the police department to acquaint themselves with the ordinance and to enforce it." So said many of Har risburg's citizens when asked to comment on the evil and the methods to be employed in breaking it up. It is generally believed no im provement will be made in the mat ter until Mayor Keister and the po lice department take a decided iftand to bring offenders to justice. City ordinance expressly forbids the nuisance that has been bothering Harrisburg. A stiff provision is pro vided for violation and only the en forcement of this provision, accord in to general belief, will bo effec tive in breaking up the custom. The sooner steps are taken under the direction of Mayor Keister to better matters, the easier it will be to break up the custom. A new traffic or dinance is now being considered by City Council but, as one Harrisburg er Baid this morning, there is no need to wait until it is promulgated and becomes effective to make efforts to break up the nuisance.

ALLIES CHECK HUN ARMY EVERYWHERE [Continued from First Page.] off enemy attacks, causing heavy losses to the Germans. American troops are fighting with the French in holding up new Ger man rushes and already have begun to make their presence felt. One force of Americans, thrown into the battle on the important front between the Ourcq and the Marne, not only stopped an enepiy advance into Neuilly wood, betWeen seven and eight miles of Chateau Thierry, but carried out what the French of ficial statement characterizes as "a magnificent counterattack," which threw back the Germans north of this wood. German Loss Heavy On yet another front —that run ning cast and west along the Marne —the American forces co-operated with the French in hurling back a German battalion which had crept over a footbridge to the south of the river The Germans sustained heavy casualties and lost one hun drd men in prisoners. The Germans have evidently suc ceeded in bringing up considerably more of their artillery and are at tacking in force along virtually the whole front from the Oise to the Marne. Fighting Is Desperate Desperate fighting developed at many points on this front last night which resulted in the enemy making advances at a few points, notably in the regions southwest of Solssons, where he is trying to batter in the tip of the allied salient. The vil lage of Pernant was lost by. the French in this area and they had to give a little ground further south. The German attack was held else where.
