NEW CITIZENS.
Judge Morrow Conducting Strict
Examination.

Applicants for naturalization are having a
hard time of 1t with Judge Morrow. Yesterday
his Honor refused two candidates the right of
citizenship, and during the past month has re-
fused probably twenty others. Judge Morrow
does not content himself with ascertalning that
The applicants have been In this country long
enough TO become citizens and are men OF good
moral character. but asks the candidates what
they know about the constitution OF the United
States, how Its laws are made, and bv whom,
aud numerous other questions, which tend TO
show whether men into whose HANDS the fran
chise is placed are sufficiently acquainted with
its uses to avoid abuses by parties who want to
use their votes. He requires that men shall be
able 10 vote intelligently before he will allow
them that privilege.
Yesterday one candidate for citizenship an
Dounced that Harrison was the President, but
could not tell how long he would hold office,
how the President was elected and knew abso-
utely nothing abou the laws. Another candi-
date said all the laws were made by the Gov
ernor and enforced by tho police. Judge Nor
row proposes To reject every applicant who
does not know enough abOuI this country 10
vote intelllgently.

A. M. Oliphant again failed to make his ap-
pearance IN Judge Joachimsen's court yesteT-
day when Ills case was called and his bond was
declared forfeited. The bond is for $500 and
his bondsmen are Charles Higgins, druggist
and William Croker, pawnbroker. Both were
in court and stated that they had information
that Ollphant had been seen in Los Angeles.
They asked for time to produce him in court
but the Judge refused the request and re-
marked 1t was time TO put stop to tn kind OF
business that had resulted in the defendants
escape. He directed that bench warrant be
issued for OliDhants arrest. The Judges de-

that he had accepted the bond himself. Oil

RICHMOND SEWER.
Another Objection i'm Law to Be
Overcome.

The California Bridge Company has
signed the DOW famous contract for CON-
peting an outlet to the Richmond sewer dis
trict yesterday. The property owners have
had hard time with this sewer outlet
question. and have met obstacles at every
turn which caused a continual postpone
ment of the end in view. Even now the
signing of the contract will not ensure
either the undertaking OF the work or its
completion. The latest hitch is legal
one, and goes back TO the amendment to
the street law passed at the last session of
the Legislature which allowed the work
to 60 on.
The claim is made that the amendment is
unconstitutional, from the fact that there
IS clerical error in the title to the
amended act, reference being made to an
act OF 1889 instead of 1885. The bridge
company did not wish To undertake the
work until this point was settled. The
company would not sign the contract, as
under the law all preliminary expenses
should have been paid, and these included
Surveyor FitZhugh's $500 surveying
charges which had to be paid in advance.
When Surveyor Fizhugh heard OF this he
did very graceful act aud agre d to waive all
claims for fees for the present, so that the
bridge company could sign The contract and
nave The constitutionality OF the law tested
Without going to a large expense. The design
was TO get some pTOpcrty-owner as soon as the
contract was signed 10 eDjoin The California
Bridge CCmp-ny from prosecuting the work.
III has been arranged 10 institute test case
all proceedings being agreed upon. The papers
Will be filed in few DAYS In the Superior
Court. The Justices OF the Supreme Court, 10
which the agreed case will be carried have
ag eed to give a speedy hearing TO the matter
It Is expected the legal point will be decided
within week under this procedure.
III the constituionalIty OF the act is sus-
tained, the California Bridge Company will be.
gin woIk and prosecute it TO speedy compile.

tutionai the residents OF the Richmond district

ture meets before they can have their sewer.

THE FOOTPAD FAKIR.
Another Sensational Story Exploded
by the Police.

A sensational story was published in the
Chronicle and Examiner on Wednesday giving
a graphic and interesting account OF how
Joseph Friedlander. paying teller of the Anglo
California Bank, was held uD the previous
night by a fOotpad on the corner OF Van Ness
and Pacific avenues and relieved OF So. To
make the story more effective an interesting
interview with Mr.. Friedlander was given, de-
scriblng his feelings when he looked into the
muzZle of the pistol presented at his head.
Chief Crowley received report yes erday
from Sergeant Hugh Monaghan, In charge of
the district where the alleged hold-up took
place. to The following eheci:
In regard TO the inclosed newspaper clipping /
would state that interviewed Mr.. Friedlander at
the Auglo-California Bank. MIR. friedlander said
truth in the story: that the whole thing
originated in joke; that the reporter had writ
ten IL up and that was all there was in 1t.
To make assurances doubly sure he Chief
detailed Detective Ben Bob on The case, and
in The afternoon was handed the following
report:
In compliance with your order to Investigate
the matter stated IN the slip Of paper attached
hereto. which relates to the robbery of Jose phi
Friedlander, I Interviewed Mr.. Fried ander in
relation to the same. He Informs me that he was
