WANT INFORMATION
ON NATURALIZATION
Brooklyn Authorities Co m mum :
icate With Stark's Probate
Judge Relative to Meth
DDS ployed Here.

The department of justice of Brook
lyn, N. Y, has sent to the pro-
bate Judge of Stark county ask
ing for information with reference to
the naturalization of foreigners in
Stark county. The recent discovery of
frauds against the naturalization laws
and the installing of the new law led
to the inquiries. 1t has been ascer-
tained that foreigners have been fur
nished with papers making them full
citizens of this country before they
left Europe, and precautions are to be
taken to stop this class of fraud.
Blanks were sent to the probate
judge asking the number naturalized
during the past year, the predominant
ing nationality, what investigations
are made to discover If the applicants
are telling the truth in either state
ments, etc.
The records show that in Stark
county more Hungarians, Italians and
Germans are naturalized. No papers
have been issued under the new law
which is much stricter than the old
but as soon as the necessary blanks
have been received the work will go or
as usual. The Stark county courts
have been very exacting in the matter
of naturalizing foreigners and witness.
es are required who have known the
parties to have been in the country the
required length of time.

Bar Harbor, Me-, Aug 1.-THE ma
val search problem, which began last
Wednesday noon, when Rear Admiral
Barker took up the plan of defending
the Maine coast from hostile feet
which put to sea on Monday under
Rear Admiral Sands, ended yesterday
when the Olympia, the flagship of the
defending fleet, discovered and inter-
cepted the white Squadron" of the
enemy headed at full speed for Winter
Harbor.
The hostile fleet was running in
close order formation and had not the
fog lifted at favorable moment, 1t is
thought the enemy would have eluded
those on guard. 1t turned out, before
her consorts could reach the scene in
answer to her signals, Olympia had
been forced to fly the white flag and
consider herself captured or destroyed
by the hostile commander.

ROOT
WILL RESIGN
{ ecretary Of War Pro-
poses to Leave the
Cabinet at Once.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Before Sec
with the Alaskan commission he will
place his resignation in the hands of
President Roosevelt in order that the
president may appoint secretary of
war IL it is deemed necessary during
Mr.. Roots absence
1t is expected, however, that the res
ignation will not be acted upon until
after congress meets. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Roots successor will de-
pend somewhat upon the length of
time Secretary Root will be engaged
upon the Alaskan boundary commits
sion.
1t has been known for some time
that Secretary Root intended to retire.
but he did not wish to leave the de-
partment until the general staff bill
was in operation and other matters
pertaining to the department were well
under way. 1t is understood that the
matter of his successor has been dis
cussed, and, while nothing official can
be obtained, it is believed that the po-
sition will be rendered to Governor
| Taft.
While Secretary Root is in London
he will remain in communication with
the war department, and matters per-
tanning to the general staff and other
important affairs will be referred to
him. If the sittings of the Alaskan
commission extend beyond December 1
| it is likely that the secretary's resigna-
ton will be accepted and his successor
appointed at that time, and If the sit
uation in the War Department becomes
charge of affairs, one will be appointed
earlier.
1t is believed here that there will be
great deal of delay in consideration
of the Alaskan boundary case, and
that the United States commissioners
may be detained In London several
months.
Secretary Roots desire to leave pub
lie life is based largely on personal
grounds. His family does not like the
life in Washington and the secretary
also desires to return to his law prac-
tice in New York.
The great questions that were pend
ing in the war department, relating
mainly to the administration of the
islands acquired from Spain and the
establishment of a government in Cu-
ba, have been accomplished during
Secretary Roots administration. The
reorganization of the army under the
general staff plan is now under way,
and the secretary feels that he has ac-
complished the work that he was called
on to do when he became secretary Of
war;

Goulds Will Build Cut-off.

The Goulds have decided to compete
with the Baltimore and Ohio and the
Pennsylvania railroads for passenger
and fast freight business between Bal
timore and Pittsburg and the announce
ment is made from Baltimore that a
direct line TO Pittsburg will be built
from a point along the Western Mary
land
IL is known the present Wabash road.
as purposod TO biseet the State Of West
Virginia. and OF which the West Vir-
ginia Central is a part, is too long and
circuitous to hope for Pittsburg pas
senger OF freight business. Especially
is this so. since the Baltimore and Ohio
commenced the construction of its cut
of from Cherry Run through the lower
part of Pennsylvania to Pittsburg.
Wabash engineers are now at work
surveying a route from a point on the
Western Na~Tland near its Western
termin@. 80 rs ,-g, and e. VIII parai-
lei the purposed CUTOFF Of the Baltimore
and Ohio With his new road built, the
Goulds will have a much shorter route
between Pittsburg and Baltimore than
the Baltimore and Ohio. and several
hours quicker route than the Pennsyl-
vania which handles Baltimore and
Washington business by way of Harris
burg and the Northern Central.
The Pittsburg cutoff planned by the
Wabash will in no way interfere with
the longer route through West Virginia,
for that line will be devoted principally
10 export and Eastern coal shipments,
while the Pittsburg line will carry ex-
IRENE Western and Pittsburg territory
fast freight ana passenger business.
The additional expense OF the cutoff
viii be more than repaid by the in
creased business.
