by warn all persons engaged in or in
any way connected with such unlawful
distractions, combinations and as

OF the laws of the United States, or
with interfering with the functions OF
the government, or destroying or at.
tempting to destroy the property be
longing to the United States, or under
its protection, cannot be regarded
otherwise than as public enemies.
Troops employed against such riot
Gus mob will act with all moderation
and forbearance consistent with the
accomplishment OF the desired end,
but the necessities that confront them
will not with certainty permit dis
elimination between guilty partici-
pants and those who are mingled with
them through curiosity and without
criminal intent. The only safe cour.e,
therefore, for those not actually I'M
lawfully participating is to abide at
their homes, or at least not to be
found in the neighborhood of riotous
assemblages. While there will be no
hesitation or yacillation in the de-
cisive treatment OF the guilty, this
warning is especially intended to pro.
| tect and save the innocent.

authority. You will make this known
to Mayor Hopkins"
