NATURALIZATION FRAUDS.
Residents Of Haiti Get Papers to Es-
cape Taxation.


New York. Aug. Standardization
frauds have taken a new turn with the
arrest Of Habib j. Ajax, a wealthy
Syrian merchant of Haiti. by Assist
ant United States District Attorney
Joel NJ. Marx and Clarence NJ. Hough-
ton.
Coincident with his arrest Mr.. Marx
and Mr. HoughtOn annOuSecd the dis
coyery Of a new ramifcalion Of the
frauds which involved wealthy citi-
zens of Haiti and South American re-
publics, who obtained fraudulent citi-
zenship papers in Connecticut through
which they escaped exorbitant taxa
tion and received the protection ac-
corded to citizens of the United States.
Headquarters of band Of men,
chiefly foreigners. who are engaged in
this traffic are in Waterbury, Conn.
This was learned some time ago
through the attempt Of Alexander Sc
ferschayan to land in New York from
Haiti as an American citizen. He pre-
sented n certificate OF naturalization at
Ellis island. He could speak no Eng
lish, nor could he describe Waterbury,
where his papers had been issued. He
was held in $500 bail for trial.
As the Prince Wilhelm III. was
about to clear for Haiti. Ajax was ar
rested. He denied he was n citizen,
but in his effects was found a letter
from the state department in Wash
ington directed TO Ajax refusing to
grant to him passport on a certificate
Of naturalization. issued in Hartford,
dated Nov. I'D, 1903. Ajax denied
having such a certificate, but it was
discovered in his effects.
He pleaded not guilty and was held
in $500 bail by United States Com
missioner Shields in the federal build
/ ing.

READABLE RHYMES

A Grammatical Dispute.
A brook and a little tree once went to
school
TO burlfrog that lived in a puddle;
They tried to learn all Of the grammar
by rule,
Which left both of their heads in a
muddle
OF nouns and Of pronouns they soon
had enough:
Propositions they found most unbear-
able stuff;
While auxiliary verbs, they declared,
were too tough

the tree, with swing.

with a fling;

with "a look.

Hyomei Cures catarrh Without Dam
serous prussina Of the Stomach.
Not until Hyomei was discovered has
it been possible to truthfuliy say that
a remedy for catarrh was known.
This remedy is breathed through the
Hyomei inhaler for a few minutes four
times a day, and during that time every
particle of air taken into the air pas
sages and lungs is impregnated with
the germ killing and health giving
Hyomei. II Is the oriy treatment that
cures catarrh.
stomach drugging often causes dis
,rdered digestion or brings on some
lther diseases and never makes a per-
nanent cure OF catarrh. Hyomei not
lnly kills the germs i'm the throat and
lose but penetrates to the minutest
lir cells in the lungs ana enters the
blood with the oxygen killing the
germs in the blood. II frees the mu-
cous membrane from poisonous mi
crobes and gives perfect health.

Includes an inhaler dropper and sufiic-
ilent Hyomei for sevral weeks treat
ment.
4. James Belt has so much faith in
the merit OF Hyomei that he agrees TO
return the money 10 any purchaser
