people in crowds or PROFESSIONS on the etreets
and public places Of the city are dangerous and
cannot be permitted, and orders have been
issued to prevent all such gatherings and to
break up and disperse all crowds. To prevent
injury to innocent persons, I urge all law-abid-
ing people to quietly attend to their own affairs
and not to meet In crowds. II the police order
any gatherings to disperse and they be not
obeyed. all persons so disobeying will be treated
as law breakers and will surely incur the penalty
Of their dsobedience. I further assure the good
people Of Chicago that believe that the police
can protect their lives and property and the
