ALLEGED ENEMY ALIEN INOICT

For the first time in the history of
the United States district court in
New Orleans an enemy alien was in
dicted Saturday when the federal
grand jury charged that Louis Her
skOvitz. alias Louis Hershey. had Sc
cured information about the Algiers
naval station to be communicated to
the imperial German government.
Several people were indicted by the
grand juries of the federal courts
during reconstruction days, but they
were Americans and Confederate
sympathizers.
The indictment against HerskOvitZ
says in part that he sought a 'des-
cription. condition and disposition of
war materials of the United States
situated at the United States naval
station there, by going near to and
in the immediate vicinity of said ma
val station and making general OBJ
servatiOns of said naval station and
the war materials there situated with
the intent of him, the said HerskO-
vitz, that the information so elected
by him should be communicated to
the enemy, that is, to the Imperial
German government, contrary to the
form of statute in such cases, made
and provided, and against the peace
and dignity of the United States"

Filtration Plant Basin Used as Nata-
torium.
On Sunday afternoon, at about 3
o. clock as the neighbOrs say who
live in the vicinity OF the Algiers fiji
tratiOn plant, several bad boys of diff.
ferent sizes and ages, went in swim
ming after a baseball game.
The boys were seen standing on
the top of the concrete wall and div.
ing into the basin. Some of them
were half clad. while a few of them
were naked When they were discov
cred by one of the attendants, they
scattered in all directions across the
field some of them putting on their
clothes as they ran in the direction OF
the woods Some of the neighbOrS
who saw the performance, gave chase
but could not catch any of the BOYS
While this seems to he the first &C
currence of the kind, still the big has
ins in that vicinity, which is not
thickly populated, is very inviting on
these hot days. especially to a crowd
of boys who are so ill-bred as to use
the public drinking water for the pur
poses of bathing.
We believe that there should be a
fence put around these basins, suffi
GENTLY high to keep out just such in
intruders. The names of the boys
could not be learned nor were any OF
them recognized by the residents in
that section. There were about six OF
eight boys in the crowd.
