NEW RAIL CROSSING

hearing at the village of Silverlake on
Tuesday afternoon to ascertain the
need of another railway crossing for

ENEMY ALIENS ARE
BARRED AS FISHERS
Government Order Holds Only Citizens
Of the U. S. May Fish for Pleasure
or Profit in the Great Lakes.

Fishermen along Lake Michigan are
hit by an order received by the fed
eral authorities yesterday. This or.
der forbids all enemy aliens, which in
cludes citizens of enemy countries
who have taken out only their first
papers, from fishing, either for
pleasure of profit. in the Great Lakes.
Many of the fishermen operating or
employed upon fishing tugs on the
lake will come under the operation of
this order.
At this port there are three tugs en-
gagged in fishing. In seasons gone by
there have been many men, not citi-
zens, engaged, but just how many
there are at present is not known.
Inquiry at the docks this morning
revealed that the tugs make daily
trips into the lake and that it is diff
hcGlt to secure good men at times.
Fishing is not as good as it usually is
IN the spring time. Tugs which have
been visiting to the south make poor
hauls, some times not more than 100
pounds, while those to the north have
brought in from 1900 to 1900 pounds.
Only trout are caught here now.
The order will also bar the alien en-
emies from fishing on the piers during
the season. The government has or
dered strict enforcement of the or
Ger and it is not improbable that az
rests will be made in Kenosha.
