BEHELD RESPONSIBLE
Persons Must be Careful Where
They Throw Paper

Members of the Street and Sewer De
partment are determined to strictly en-
force the law regarding the throwing
Of waste paper about the streets Of the
city.
The new ordinance not only applies
to those who distribute circulars, dodg-
ers. etc, but also to those who receive
them. If anyone receives printed mat
ter from the hands of a distributor and
throws il upon the street, If detected,
he will, if it be the first oifense, be re-
CURED to pick up the paper or upon re-
fusal be placed under arrest Under
any circumstances arrest will follow
the second offense. The Street and
Sewer Department has notified the PO-
lice Department of this fact, and re-
quests its cooperation.
Those rag-pickers who make a prac-
tice of opening bundles Of papers
placed on ash receptables for collection
will also be arrested. as such action
causes paper to be stewn about the
street. 1t is held by the department
that the paper is the property Of the
person who places it for collection un-
III it is removed, and no one has a right
to interfere with it.

I" BOXERS" ARE UNSUBDUED;;
FOREIGN GUARDS BARRED:
FRESH REBEL ATROCITIES
Troops Of Foreign Powers Must Not Move on to Peking
to Guard Legations Without the Sanction Of
The TSung-Ii-Iamen Of China

China heretofore have stated that the
diplomatic corps had decided 10 ask
the Chinese foreign office to define ex-
plicitly the measures the government
intended to take in dealing with the
Boxers, and Tuesdays adict is in all
probability the response to the repre-
sentations made. That the document
is couched in equivocal terms is not
surprising to officials here who are
acquainted with conditions in China.
The empress belongs to what is known
as the Reactionary party in Chinese
politics, and the emperor being under
her influence it is not surprising that
the edict is. as stated, more OF an ex-
cuse of the movement than a condem-
nation of IL.

Have Not AttacIked Gsrmans

lANt NOA 0tA mans
Berlin, May S1.-Regarding the dis
orders fomented by the Boxers" a
high official of the German foreign
Office said today:
German citizens have not yet been
attacked. Germany, therefore, has been
following the lead of France in diplo-
matte action, her citizens being more
Immediately affected. The case win be
otherwise if the German legation at
Pekin is attacked"
When asked If It we're true that a
hundred German marines had joined a
hundred French marines for the rescue
of the imperiled Belgians the official
replied:
''There have been no calls for ma
rines. II must have been the civilian
Germans, acting upon their own
responsibility"
The foreign Office attributes the
troubles in China to the hostile atti-
tude of the present Chinese govern
ment towards foreigners.
