NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-Acording to
some interesting naturalization statis-
tics prepared by Robert F. Randall,
the local naturalization commissioners in
the United States district court, nearly
one-third of the newly created citizens
in this country are Russians, one-fifth
aree Germans, one-sixth are Austrians,
and only about one-fourteenth of the
total number are Italians
In this connection it is interesting to
note that out of 2,4S5 rejected appli-
cants about one-third are Italians, who
either failed to furnish sufficient proof
of residence, attempted fraud in seek
ing papers, or were too illiterate to pass
the educational test.
The total number of applications ac-
cepted up, to August 10 Of this year,
exceeds the total for the entire year
of 1908 by 1870.
Commissioner Randall said: II con-
slider as particularly promising the large
proportion of British, German and
Scandinavian applicants. They are by
far the most intelligent people we have
to deal with. The Italians are the most
illiterate. Ninety-five per cent Of the
large number of Russians and Austri-
ans are Hebrews

There is movement on foot among
some Of the more progressive citizens
of the Heights to open up little park
on Highland avenue between Myrtle
and Linden streets. Mr.: Mendenhau
was seen during the week and he
agreed to give a. lease on the property
for ten years. and at the end Of that
time the CITY would probably secure it.
The Labor World seen some of the
citizens who are promoting the idea
and all seemed unanimous in the opin-
ion that steps should be Immediately
taken to acquire the park. 1t Is suit
ably located, and a number of second
growth trees are spr1nging up real
fast, it could be soon fixed up into a
most beautiful park, or as former
Mayor Hugo would say: "A parkette
If you please"
J.. NJ Conklin has agreed to clear
space equal to $500 square feet. F.
A. Lombard will do the same. Others
can be induced to join In the movement
with but little effort. The proposed
site contains about 10000 square feet.
If sixteen persons will do what Mr..
Conklin proposes pretty place could
be had for next season.
What would be the advantage of such
a park? There would be many. First
it would be splendid play ground for
the children. Next it would be used
as place for an afternoons amuse-
ment by tired mothers. On Sundays
families could enjoy shade and rest
there. 1t Is just the kind of place
every progressive suburb should have.
We would like to get the consensus
Of opinion on the subject, and would
be pleased to discuss the matter at
length with any of the neighbors.

looking at things from my point Of
view, it seems to, me as though a
mans sentiments towards labor, or
ganized or :unorganized, should be
judged more by his record as an en-
ployer than by what some one may
have said concerning one particular
transaction.
The only objection urged against my
candidacy among laboriug men is
based on a single statement made by
discharged e11ploye in connection
with the discharge. In all fairness
should not record made during fif-
teen years of active business life have

trIcal workers. Union axe charge
of Funeral.
a. W. L.*Qtis, former financial secretary
Of the Electrical Workers union, and
one Of the best known members of Or
ganized labor in the city, died last Fri
day noon at his home, ia South Fiji
teenth avenue east. Mr. Otis was sick
but two weeks. He was on his vacation
and had taken fishing trip, and while
out he contracted typhoid fever. He
was taken to his home as quickly as
possible, but complications set in which
claimed his life in but short time
The funeral was held Saturday and
was conducted under, the auspices of
the Electrical Workers union and the
procession was one of the largest ever
held by the order. 1t was headed by
Flaaten's band and >besides the. cleo
trical workers. there were members Of
the Modern Samaritans and Knights
of Maccabees in the procession. Floral
wreaths were piled on top of the cas-
ket, the marks of respect of Mr.. Otis
fellow workers and members of orders
to which he belonged.
The remains were escorted to the On
aha depot and sent to Hudson, WIS.
The widow and Mrs. A. Cameron, sis-
ter Of Mrs. Otis, went with the body.
The remains were buried In the family
lot at Hudson Sunday afternoon.
Mr.. Otis was a switchboard man
with the Zenith Telephone company,
and had been employed in that capaci-
ty for four years, coming from Hud-
| son.
In the labor movement Mr. Otis was
held in high esteem by all who enjoy
| ed his friendship. AS secretary of the
| Electrical Workers union he was care
| full and diligent and conducted the bus
| mess of the union in a safe and salts
factory manner. Many expressions OF
sympathy were heard. in the several
union halls over the loss that will be
keenly felt by organized labor in gen.
eral.

The Municipal Employment bureau
made great squirt this week. At the
close of busmessA Wednesday evening
the bureau had received, $50 applica-
lions for men during the first three
days of the week, and the bureau was
able to supply 200 men. Over 100 were
sent to the harvest fields. Considering
the demand for men this is an excep-
tional record and speaks we'll for the
new management. Mr.. Haley, the new
secretary, has begun work with an ear
nestness that s sure to bring success.
He is visiting every employer Of labor
and received many assurances of loyal
support. It is Mr.. Haley's desire to
get a trial order from every large con-
Germ in the city. He believes that at
ter he once fills the order that it will
be an easy matter to secure further
patronage.
The bureau really ought to have a
clerk to help Mr.. Haley. His work is
largely on the outside, and there should
be one man in the office to look after
matters in MI; Haley's absence.
The office looked like the busiest
place in town Thursday morning when
a representa- tive of the Labor World
visited it to ascertain what was be-
ing done there: Crowds Of workingmen
were standing about, and carefully

like the frogs in the story, II you try
to find them (aslde from those work.

you will discover that they are few and

is that less than $1,000 has been ex-
