ALIEN ORDINANCE
HITS NEUTRALS TOO

CHICAGO, April 15-The city coun-
ell has passed an ordinance, effective
May /, prohibiting all aliens carrying
OF business in the city. This puts
5000 alien enemies out of business The
law is made effective by refusal of the
city to grant a license. Now it is dis
covered that neutral aliens and ally
aliens are hit hard.
Canadians, English, French, Japs
and Chinese must give up business un
less the ordinance is amended. A score
of Chinese waited ON the Mayor to-
day, pleading for some way to save 200
restaurants. The present estimate IS
that 1900 saloons will close. Most Of
them are conducted by German and
austrian aliens.
Japanese have a big import and re-
tail business here, while French con-
dnct restaurants, saloons, bakeries and
dry goods stores 1t is believed the
ordinance may be amended to apply
emily to enemy aliens.

who spent today investigating the
crime.
Coroner Roy A. Lowe, Of Madison
county, who has been quoted today as
saying that four justices of the peace

men alleged to have been in the mob
which hanged Prayer, said tonight
that some of the justices had refused,
but that he had not seen all of them.
There was no evidence tonight in

tation, and Mayor Siegel said he did
not fear further trouble.
City officials were emphatic today
in disclaiming responsibility for the
mob violence Mayor Siegel said he
opened the door of the city hall, where
Prayer was being hidden from the
mob after the police informed him the

ger was alleged to have made.

Great Britain last year increased ce-

While S20,646 men were taken from

built $50 tons of shipping. Standard

are being made for supplying stand

been made for the manufacture of g.,
