Washington, Nov. 19.-All alien en-

Enemy aliens also are prohibited
from approaching within 100 yards of
docks, railway stations and storehouses
and are forbidden to reside in the

The proclamation issued as a sup
plement to the one declaring a state Of
war with Germany, provides further
that an alien enemy shall not, except
on public ferries, be found ION any
ocean, bay, river or other waters
within the United States.
They are forbidden to fly in an air
plane, balloons or alrships or to enter
the Panama canal zone-

That several prominent German sub
jects who have been permitted to re-
main at liberty up to the present time
will probably be ordered interned when
the new regulations become effective
is likely to be one of the developments
Of the near future. Among these enemy
aliens are several men who were close
to Bernstorff when he was directing
plots against the United States and
countries with which the United States
are now allied. One Of the Germans
was the paymaster Of the Bolo Pacha
plot to corrupt public opinion in
France.
The hunt for German spies is no Y
on In earnest. Every secret service
agency Of the government is co-operat-
ing in the work, which calls for the de-
lection not only Of German subjects
who are working in this country for
their fatherland, but also for the sub
jects of countries with which Germany
is allied who are known to form i'm
portant cogs in the Teuton spy machine
operating in the United States.
Several weeks ago the war depart
ment is known to have called upon the
commanding officers Of all units in the
regular, National Guard, and national
armies to make an investigation Of
their commands and to report back
whether those commands contained
any men whose loyalty to the country
was a matter which should be investi-
gated. It is said that 1t some centon-
ments the reports state that there are
more than 100 men whose loyalty/i Is
doubtful and who should be dropped
from the army or arrested and in

Of President Wilson for protection and

RIGA REFUGEES
AT PETROCRAD

PETROGRAD, Tuesday, Sept A.
The first refugees from Riga arrived
here today and gave a dramatic de-
scription Of their last hours in the
city before the German occupation.
The first shells were fired from the di-
rection Of Uxkull and fell early Sun
day morning causing numerous fires
and spreading clouds Of suffocating
gases. The people rushed into the
streets, many only partly dressed, and
there was a general panic to each
the railroad station, which seemed to
be the enemy's chief target. This
panic resulted in heavy losses, accord
ing to Vechernee Vremya, which de-
clares that several thousand were lost.
The next night after midnight a
Zeppelin appeared over the city and
in the rays of its searchlights, citizens
might be seen fleeing. The Zeppelin
dropped many bombs, some emitting
gases. These bombs were aimed chief
ly at Moscow, supurb Of Riga Shell
ing with big projectiles from the di-
rection Of Uxkull was resumed early
in the evening, one shell falling in
moving picture hall causing losses and
another exploding in the Hotel Suv-
croft. The last train which left for
Petrograd was heavily shelled. Al

Man Is Put Up To County
Commissioners.
BANKS MAKE PROTEST

Members Of the Wayne county
council Wednesday refused to accept
the responsibility for hiring or refus-
ing to hire tax ferret and passed
the buck" back to the county commis-
sioners by voting for the appropria-
| ton of $25,00O for the hiring Of fer
ret, with the understanding that the
letting of contract for a tax expert
rested with the commissioners.
The entire appropriation ordinance
including the tax ferret appropriation
was passed by the council unanimous
ly, after President Nusbaum explained
that the appropriation OF the money
for tax ferret did not necessarily
| mean that contract for tax inquir-
er would be made, but that the mat
ter rested entirely with the county
commissioners.
Only one of the commissioners, w.
A. Seaney is on record as favoring
the measure.

passed on the first reading Tuesday
afternoon, after a hot wordy battle be-
tween Henry U. Johnson and John
