DON'T SOAP THE TRACKS.

Chief Ahern Issues Orders Governing
Halloween Pranks.

Daniel Ahern, chief of police, yesterday issued the annual Halloween order. It recites briefly what will happen to "all persons -- men or boys" who violate the order. There must be no practical jokes to the injury of others, no destruction of personal property and, last, but by no means least, no soaping of the street car tracks.

All violators of the order will be promptly arrested and, if they cannot give bond, will be held for investigation until the following day when they will be tried in police court.
