STRICT RULES READ
|. TO POLICE FOR SAFE
AND SANE FOURTH
Men Instructed to Arrest
All Responsible for
Violations.

Major Sylvester today issued Fourth
Of July orders to members Of the police
force.
In view Of the fact that this is to be
a safe and sane Fourth, the police have
been instructed to see that the edicr
OF the District Commissioners against
the use Of firecrackers. pistols, and 9TH
er explosives and noise-making instru-
ments, Is strictly enforced.
Captains and neutenants have been
ordered to utilize as many members of
their respective commands as possible
on Tuesday. especially during the early
morning hours. Before taking action
against small children, members of the
force viii take the children to their
parents, but where the violator Is suf-
hciently advanced in years to be re-
sponsible. arrests will follow.
The rule against explosives applies
densely populated sections Of the Dis
trict. No objection will be made tn chill
dren or adults celebrating the day IN
any manner they please on farms vr
land In the outlying portions Of the DIs-
trict. Permits have been issued for
special celebrations at Petworth, Fort
Bunker Hill site. and other localities.
In his orders to the captains Major
Sylvester says:
BE careful to respectfully admonish
to comply with the law; inform them
OF the official celebrations and fireworks
to which all are invited; use every ef-
fort to secure the requirements of the
Commissioners, and be polite but firm.
Do not argue. but maintain the law.

The Washington times., 1911-07-01

washington's Safe and Sane Fourth
of July is assured. 1t will be safer and
saner than was last, years, for there
was q prize fight then, and severalhun-
expected happenings that are called
melees or mixing-it-in's marred the
otherwise perfectly pleasurable day. 1t
will be safer and saner and more sue
cessful, for, despite a lack Of money, a
program that is sure to delight every
body has been arranged.
The program comprises pyrotechnics
of the real Chinese and powder trust
variety, as well as of the free-born.
spread-eagle American type, and games
and sports OF all kinds, with band con-
certs that will enliven the imagination,
stir the fancy, and urge the mind to
dwell upon higher things. ~..' .
Aviators To Fly Over City.
Perhaps the most spectacular num-
Der % the program will be the flight or
two aeroplanes over the city. The army
officials have promised to let one OF
their machines fly over in full dress
uniform, and a private aviation COM
pany will let one of its speed across in
citizens clothes, so to speak.
The speakers selected for the Fourth
Of July are among the best that local
talent and the transients who are wor-
rying along with reciprocity and the
wool schedule can offer. They will not
all speak at the same time, in the same
place. but their fire will be directed
from different points. 1t Is sure to be
effective, however. Not the least places
will be the Fairgrounds, where children
and their parents are to gather and
show their patriotism.

and Pennsylvania avenue northwest, at
9:30 o'clock. The Marine Band will give
