LET WHISTLERS BE WARNED

New York Newspaper Is Emphatic in Its Declaration of Uncompromising Hostility. Reader, have you eveir been made frantic and exasperated beyond measure by some man whistling In your neigiy>orhood ? Did you ever sit In a trani cat* and hear one of these nuisances blow noises out through puckered lips? If you have, you can well sympathize with the unidentified person who listened to Moses Cohen whistle in a local motion-picture theater and arose and slew him on the spot. We regret the killing; it was uncalled'for; unlawful; dreadful; not to be tolerated. Law sleuths are on the track of the killer, and, of course, as upholders of law, with almost puritanical vehemence we hope he will be caught. And yet . . . persons should not whistle in cinema theaters, or in tram cars, or in the streets, or in shops, or in newspaper offices, or any other' place on the face of the green earth where they can be heard. We have spoken.—New York Evening Telegraph.
