LULU HADLEY QUITS TOWN
SHE GOES TO THE HOME OF HER
FOREFATHERS IN ILLINOIS.
The Erstwhile English Hotel Cham
Above Daily InrOad of Ducats.

Mrs. Lulu Hadley, erstwhile chamber
maid at the Hotel English. who made the
bed of Booker T. Washington and has re-
ceived small fortune for not doing so
from Southern people reused to a high
pitch of enthusiasm. has shaken the dust
of Indianapolis from her Oxforus. She has
left town for good. she informs friends
who live in tn neighborhood of her former
home on Fulton street.
That neighborhood became trifie warm
for Mrs. Hadley, so much so that even the
daily arrival of checks from Dixieland was
no tonic for chills ard fever brought about
by the glowerings OF colored people on ey-
cry side She could not stick her head out
of doors without hearing some one of
inky shade remark about 'stuck-up white
trash" or similar rude. angry and insolent
expressions The acts were not overt. but
Mrs. Hadley feared they would become so.
She has gone TO Paris, ILL.,, where rela-
tives live. In all probability the Chamber
maid who differs with the late Abraham
Lincoln on constitutional questions will re-
side there permanently The fact that she
was recently drugged and robbed may Also
have had something to do with q change Of
residence.

FRAUDULENT CERTIFICATES.


WASHINGTON, May 25.-Immigration
officials said to-day that they had investi-
gated reports that thousands of fraudu-
lent naturalization papers had been sold to
immigrants at New York and had ascer-
tanned that the purpose was not to facil-
itate the admission of immigrants into the
United States but to permit male immi-
grants to secure work on the subway and
other improvements in New York as under
the state laws only citizens can work on
improvements of that kind.
Chief Wilkie, of the treasury secret serv-
ice has received information that In New
York city a very large number-probably
as high as 5000-aliens were given these
certificates and charged exorbitant prices
for them. In some cases as much as $50 was
paid for a fraudulent certificate.
The secret service agents in ether cities
during the last year and half have dis
covered numerous fraudulent naturaliza-
tion papers. They are tearing up the papers
wherever found. The cities In which they
have been discovered include Philadelphia,
Wilmington, Del; Providence, r. l.; Pitts
burg, Pa; ST. Louis and Buffalo. In these
cities the fraudulent papers. though
granted in the regular manner by the
courts, were obtained through misrepre-
sentations and perjured testimony and 1t
is said were used for political purposes.
