Missouri Aliens Must Present Natur-
alixatiou Papers When They
Go to Register.

St. Louis. oct. S.-Accordiug to an opin-
lon rendered by City Counselor Marshall,
poverty is no satisfactory excuse for the

TO have his name enrolled on an affidavit
setting forth his inability to pay the court
charges for a certified copy.
Last Tuesday there We're several hundred
aliens registered on the strength of afii-
davits stating that they were duly nat
rralized, but could not produce copies of
their papers because they had been out
of employment a long time, and had no
money TO pay the fees exacted by the court
clerks for certified copies. These regis
tratioms, unless the courts decide other
wise will be stricken from the books.

CITY COUNCIL CANNOT DO IT
Enjoined from Letting Printing Contract to

HAS NOT THE REQUIRED CIRCULATION
Matter Decided by Judge Kcysor Yes
terday-OId Contract stands Until
Another Is Properly
Awarded.

Judge Keysor, sitting in chambers, yester-
day morning granted temporary injunction,
restraining the city from attempting to
carry out its attempt TO give the city adver-
t.s!ng to the News Republic. The court held
that the News-Republc was not proper
newspaper, as contemplated by the charter,
IS IL had been shown that the paper never
had a circulation OF 1000 copies, daily, as
required by the plain provisions OF the
charter. The judge stated in reviewing the
case, that there was no proof Of any act
by the city council or any Of its committees,
to ascertain whether the paper in question
had the circulation required by law in order
to make 1t a proper paper in which to In
sert the city advertising.
"a court of equity" the judge said, has
the right to examine into the facts and find
II the jurisdictional facts upon which the
council acts are true. In the case at bar
the council was not a tribunal to subpoena
witnesses and try the case. No notice had
been given The Bee or World-Herald that
the council would sit as tribunal to hear
testimony as to number of subscribers. The
council is a body of limited jurisdiction.
The statute is mandatory as to circulation,
and 1t was the duty of the council to de-
termine the question Of bona fide circula-
tion as provided by the statute. The coun-
Gil flad no authority 10 act, eNCept uhuel
the express conditions laid down in the
charter. The district court. however, has
authority to review the testimc mcny and find
out the facts, IL the jurisdctional facts ex-
ist notwithstanding the council has passed
upon the facts
The court also stated that II the committee
of the council had relied upon the affidavit
OF one Jasper, as to the circulation OF the
News Republic the council was grossly and
criminaly mised and deceived. THE testi-
mony showed" Judge Keysor said, that
there we're no circulation books of the News
Republic that anybody could rely upon until
August of last year, and the testimony
showed that Jasper was employed on the
News Republic only few days before maxi
ing his affidavit, 80 that he did not know
and could not have known what the circula-
ton was and had absolutely no grounds for
making the effidavit, except what might have
been told him. His affidavit was unworthy
OF belief and the court has no hesitation in
throwing it out as unworthy of belief or re-
lance"
The temporary injunction was made perma-
nent and The Bee declared the official paper
OF the city until contract Is made with a
paper having the circulation required by law.

GARDEN PLAN A SUCCESS.
omciaI Report Upon the Results IL
Submitted.

The Omaha garden enterprise for the un-
employed and the poor, which was COM
menced during April last, and which was
carried out by the agricultural commission
and the Associated Charities. considering
that II was a first trial and dry season, re-
suited in a success which encourages a con-
tinuation end extension Of the plan for the
coming season. Five hundred and seventy
one families made application for garden
plots. OF which number 2SS were provided
with seed potatoes and small seeds and 2SS
families with small seeds only, they providing
their own seed potatoes. Thirty families
never cultivated their gardens, nor planted
their seeds. About 400 acres were cultivated
in plots of from onehalf to one acre each, a
few having little more.
The outlay to the county commissioners
(who donated 400 bushels of seed potatoes),
agricultural commission and Associated Char
ties was $l,150, and the result was as fo,-
lows: Potatoes 14,760 bushels; cabbages,
1,406 dozen; beets, S55 bushels; beans. 510
bushels; onions 5Sl bushels; carrots, S12
bushels turnips, 457 bushels; peas. "a
bushels: cucumbers, 149 bushels corn. SIS
bushels, besides a quantity OF melons, lettuce
and radishes, the estimated value of all being
1920.
The donations Of land by our landowners
were far in excess Of the applications, and
the best thanks Of our citizens are -due to
them for their liberality in giving the use Of
their ground, and also to those few sentle-
men who so kindly gave their r.oney to help
the enterprise.
The United States Department of Agricul-
ture supplied all the small seeds, and quite
a quantity were left over, which will be use
ful next season Many families are now en-
joyng the fruits of their labors, and have
expressed their deep gratitude to the com
mittees for having assisted In providing for
Themselves them
from becoming the objects of charity, and
not few Of them have asked to be helped
in getting upon farms next spring to culti-
vate on the share system.
