Alfred Martin Cited to Show His Citizen
ship to BE Valid.
W1LKFsBARRE, Pa, May 12.-John @. F..
Jenkins filed petition in the prothonot-
ary's Office here recently, the like of
which has never before come under the
cognizance of the Luzerne county
courts. The petition prays that the
court grant a rule to show
cause why the naturalization papers
of Alfred Martin, burgess of Plymouth,
should not be annulled, for the reason that
they were obtained through misrepresenta-
ton and fraud. Jenkins alleges in his af-
fdavit that Martin. in order to obtain his
full papers, swore that he came to this coun-
try when he was under 18 years of age
and resided five years in the
United States and one year in Pennsyl-
vania, when, as matte- OF fact, he was
over Il years old when he landed, and had
not resided here the required length of
time. The court granted the rule and the
case will be argued on the 18th. Great in
terest is manifested in the case, owing to
the prominence of Martin, who has been a
leading politician here for many years.

duces articles and sells them outside of

EXPLAINING AN INTERVIEW.

What the Director of the Mint Said In His
Silver Interview.
CHICAGO, May pa dispatch from
Washington from Director of the Mint
Leech, said to-day that the interview with
him about the alleged silver corner, print
ed Saturday, conveyed an erroneous impress
sion. What he did say was that silver was
being bought in London and shipped to this
country and deposited in the assay office in
New York for fine bars, which are being
stored by private parties. The government
has bought no silver in London, nor
has it stored any silver in the west.
It is not storing silver at all, and of course
is not issuing certificates on silver bullion,
as there is nc law authorizing such issue.
II did say that but little silver is being Of
fered the government for sale and that at
price considerably above the market price
and above the price at which certificates on
silver bullion deposited in western national
banks are being sold in New York. In re-
gard to the corner on silver / said did not
know anything about it."

cepted. He has also roasted me in
great shape. But not cent in money has
he put up. He is at it again now, up in
Minneapolis. Here is my proposition; If
he will come to st. Paul and put up some
money will sign articles to fight him.
This talk is getting tiresome. Money

make it an object. Ali I stipulate is
that it be with gloves. I will take no
chances of getting into prison over bare
knuckle fight, and I'll bet that he is just as

point as am. He is blowing and bluffing,
