Show PRESIDENT'S ORDER IGMEDBY ALIE1MS Evidences of Flagrant Violation Vio-lation of Executive Command Com-mand Brought to Light. GIVE FALSE EXCUSES Half a Hundred Unnaturalized Unnatural-ized Teutons Apply for Necessary Papers. Flagrant violation of the order of President Wilson, issued last July, directing di-recting that all enemy aliens must secure se-cure permits to circulate within the restricted re-stricted areas in Salt Lake, -which practically prac-tically covers all of the business section of the city, is reflected in the fact that since the first day of registration, last Monday, more than fifty unnaturalized Germans have made application for such permits. In some instances it is evident that the law vras wilfully violated and ignored. Many of those who have made applieatiou for permits during the past four davt; have been residents of Salt Lake for years and held situations in some of the large mercantile establishments. establish-ments. The greater number are apparently appar-ently intelligent men, speaking excellent' excel-lent' English, and a high percentage of them are young men engaged in occupations occu-pations which bring them into daily contact with American citizens. False Excuses Given. In nearly all cases, where the ques-I ques-I ion has been asked as to why they are not provided with licenses, ignorance of the law has been given as an excuse. The declaration is also made by many that until advised by the registration officers that it is necessary that they have a permit thev knew nothing of the law. That the law was ignored and held in contempt is not true in all instances, however, especially in the cases of men who were working in the rural districts nil through the summer and fall and late into the winter, who have made their home in Salt Lake only during the past few weeks. All other enemy aliens, however, who have lived in Salt Lake for years and who attend daily to their occupation within the restricted areas, are subject to the suspicion, at least, that they held the permit law in contempt and "wilfully violated it until forced by the registration officers ta secure a permit. Those Given Permits . Thus far this week United States Marshal Aquiia Xebeker has issued permits per-mits to twenty-four enemy aliens, and applications are on file for at least thirty more permits.

While .1. L. May, Jr.. and his assistants at police headquarters; head-quarters; were overworked Monday and Tuescay. the number of appiicints for reeistration thinned down on Wednesday and yesterday.
