MAY PASSUNDER
MARKED PIERS
CapoeistS Run Chance of Being
Shot if They Don't OBJ
serve the Rules

"Shoot to kill" is the instruction that
has been issued to sentries guarding
the bridges in this vicinity. A procla-
nation has been Issued by President
Wilson placing stringent restrictions
on foreigners. Chief of Police J. Ed
ward Wetzel has also issued a warning
to the people of Harrisburg concern
ing the use OF the bridge piers span
ming the river.
These orders came after a tour of
the bridges by Chief Wetzel and Cap
tain p. c. Barclay. of the Pennsylva-
MIA Railroad Police, and Major Holen-
bach. of the Sixth Regiment of Penn
sylvania National Guard, late yesterday
afternoon.
Marked with Flags
An order has also been issued by
Chief Wetzel forbidding the use of
wireless stations and all experimenting
with wireless stations. Following is
the order issued regarding bridges:
"The fifth span from this side of the
river on the Rockville bridge will be
illuminated with a heavy incandescent
light at night and strung with an
American flag in daytime. In like man
ner the second and third piers from
the Harrisburg and the Lemoyne sides
bridge, the Reading Railway bridge,
the Market street and Walnut street
bridges, will be illuminated at night
and marked with flags in daytime.
"All boats, pleasure or otherwise. in
the river, must use these marked piers
to pass beneath the bridges, or they
will be fired upon by the sentries who
are instructed to shoot to kill Any
persons lettering about the bridges or
passing near the bridges on the island
will be shot at. There are to be no
exceptions to this order, and unless it
is obeyed, it will result in the slaugh-
ter of some of the citizens of Harris
burg and vicinity. For further infor-
nation see me or Captain p. c. Bar
clay, p. r. r. Police.
by order of
81. L. Wetzel. Chief of Police,
city of Harrisburg.
april II, 1917"
President Wilson's proclamation,
which will be rigidly enforced, reads as
follows: 1T is unlawful for alien enc
mics to have in their possession the
following:
"'Any firearm, weapon or implement
of war, or component part thereof; am

paratus, or any form of signaling de-

plv the waters now 264 feet below
where the ships of the Pacific ride.
He says that the Salton sea has
wonderful influence on the climate of
the valley and that, once you get out
on some of the many islands-and he
! lives on one-that it is unusually cool,
although the water in the shallow
parts near the shore is hot-too hot
for bathing even.
Asks for More Water.
What we want is more water. The
level of the sea must be kept up. AS
it is now, we are losing four feet each
year and there is no reason for this.
The irrigation people are spending
vast sums for flood control, when il
they would simply allow the water to
come down New river or the Alamo
the expense would be lessened or wiped
out and this wonderful sea saved to
the people of the valley. They could
allow the water during flood time to
come down the rivers, doing little or
no damage, and thus the sea would be
preserved and the loss by evaporation
! balanced.
An Unknown Sea.
This lake." said the captain, who is
canny booster for his summer resort,
'is forty-five miles long and few peo-
pie of this valley have ever gone over
| ii. 1t is magnificent. Right at home
| is finer resort than any to be found
in the mountains, but people turn
away from it. 1t is hot, of course,
but once you get out it becomes pleas
ant, and the breeze from its waters
is regular salt breeze, and pleasant.
There are fifty-one islands in the sea
These were once sand dunes or hum
mocks, and we live on one of them. y
Has Summer Resort There.
While Captain Davis is looking after
the main chance and of course hand
ing out neat little boost for his bus
mess and the like, he is an enthusi-
asst and can see wonderful things
ahead. At least it is an interesting
thing, this great inland salt sea in
the Imperial valley, and it ought .
be featured as one of the many attrac-
tions.
