FOR FINAL PAPERS
Citizenship Law Brings Many
Applicants for First Papers
byLMany Foreigners
DECLARATIONS ARE MADE

Since the passage Of the recent
naturalization law by Congress last
fall, neutrality-suspicious. for second
papers and forShrst .papers have been
placed on file in the Office of the clerk
of the circuitGcourt. Among the APP
practically every European govern
ment, although those of Germany,
Italy and Austria predominant.
The new law, which makes an ex-
aminations of the applicant in open
Court by the United States district
attorney imperative prior to the issu-
ance of final citizenship papers, has
operated to bring about more de-
siraDle class of applicants for second
papers.
The law provides that the applicant
must be able to understand and an
swer in English all the questions put
to him upon his examination in Court,
as well as to be able to read English
and answer questions relative to GER
tain provisions of the constitution of

satisfaction of the district attorney
and the judge, his right to second
papers may be challenged and the APP
plicant may be required to wait an
other three months at the end of
which time he is given another ex-
amin alton.
A second provision of the law, max
ing it necessary that notice of the
application for second papers be post
ed in conspicuous place in the Office
of the clerk of the court for period
of at least ninety days prior to his
examination and the issuance of final
papers, is also regarded as an addi-
tional safeguard. This prevents any
undesirable applicant receiving his
final papers without knowledge of
that fact becoming public.

First Annual Inspection Of Keno
sha Conmandery Knights Tenn
plar Held Thursday
SIR KNIGHTS AT A BANQUET
Festivities in Celebration of First An
niyersary Close With Banquet
at Masonic Temple With Cow
ers for Seventy-five.

Thursday was red letter day in
of the Knights Templar, for it was
the first anniversary of the organiza-
ton of the Commandery and at the
same time the date set apart for the
first general inspection of the Com
mandery. Forty-six of the ffty-one
members of the Commandery in pur-
pie and fine linen reported for the in
spection at O'Clock in the afternoon
and the ceremonies of the day were
not concluded until nearly midnight.
The work of inspecting the COM
mandery was in the hands of the Rt.
Eminent Sir James E. Durgin of Ra-
cine, Inspector general for Wisconsin,
and he brought with him to the city
large number of visiting Knights
Templar from the Racine Command
cry and from Ivanhoe Commandery
of Milwaukee. During the inspection
the order of the Temple was conferred
on Emil 0. Strausse and the work
was done entirely by the team of the
Kenosha Commandery. Inspector
General Durgin paid high tribute to
the work of the Kenosha Com
mandery, stating that while it was
one of the youngest of the Com
manderies in the state the work was
done in such way as to merit the
highest praise.
After the work was over addresses
we're made by the Inspector General
and by Eminent Sir Robert E. LANCE,
of Racine. Both of the men praised
the teachings of the Masonic order,
and spoke especially of the work of
the Knights Templar. Other i'm
promtu addresses were made by mem
bers of the Racine, Milwaukee and
Kenosha Communicates.
After the work of the inspection
was over the members of the Com
mandery and their guests gathered in
the dining room where banquet was
served at which covers we're laid for
seventy-fve guests. There were no
set speeches following the banquet,
but later in the evening there was an
informal smoker at which the work of
the Templars in Wisconsin was dis
cussed and strong bond of fellow
ship was formed between the three
Communicates represented.
| While just year old the Kenosha
Commandery has shown great growth.
Starting with charter membership
of thirty the commandery has been
growing steadily until at the present
time it has membership of fifty-one
and new candidates for the degree
are being brought in nearly every
week. The team of the Kenosha
Commandery is said to be one Of the
best trained teams in the state.
The visiting Sir Knights left fol
their homes in Milwaukee and Ra cine
late Thursday night.

NEW ATHLETIC CLUB
kenosha Cricket and Athletic Club
To Be incorporated Under
Laws of State at Once
RIVAL FOR COUNTRY CLUB
Cricket Players of City To Have Grounds
of Their Own and To Open the
Way for all Sorts of Sports
in the City
RIVAL FOR COUNTRY CLUB

Final steps have been taken for the
org anization of new athletic club in
the city to be known as the Kenosha
Cricket and Athletic Club and in the
near future the new club will be in
corporated under the laws of the
state. 1t is the plan of the promoters
of the club to make it an athletic club
grounds of the club are open it is
planned to make them a general ath-
letic grounds at which all sports with
the exception of base ball and with
the possible exception of golf will be
provided for.
For some time the cricket players
in Kenosha have been planning the
purchase of grounds to be used by the
cricket team and short time ago the
members of the Cricket club made
application to the Kenosha Country
club for the laying out Of cricket
grounds at the Country club. The
application was refused by the man
ayers Of the Country club on account
OF the fact that there was no room in
the present grounds for cricket
field.
This movement brought the new
athletic club into being and it is
backed by such prominent men that
there is little doubt but that it will
prove success. The officials of the
new club are. President, James Mil
lar; vice president, Henry B. Robin.
son; secretary and treasurer, Conrad
Shearer. The board of directors con-
sists of Frank Shields, Richard Hart
ley and John Tyler, and Mr.. Tyler is
named as captain of the Cricket team.
The club has secured a lease of the
old ball park west of the city to be
used as temporary quarters of the
club, but as soon as possible new
grounds will be purchased and i'm
proved. The committee in charge of
the purchase of the grounds is COM
posed of James Millar, H. B. Robinson
and John Tyler.
The committee is instructed to take
options on some tract of land along
the Chicago and Milwaukee Electric
R'y. either north or south of the city
and money for the purchase of the
land will be raised among the mem
bers of the club. tits thought that the
land will be purchased and a cricket
field and tennis courts laid out this
year. The building of club house
will follow in another year and the
grounds will be thrown open for gen
era1 sports. While the Kenosha
Country Club has one of the finest
golf courses in the northwest it is
possible that the new club will also
lay out golf course if the land can
be secured at a reasonable rate.
The cricket team will, of course, be
the star feature of the new club and
the team is already organized. Its
first practice game for the season will
be played on Sunday and as soon as
possible schedule of Saturday after
noon and Sunday games will be
arranged.

KEEP HARBoRs CLEAR
Major Judson Providing for Purchase
Of Government Dredge

OF Government Dredge
MAJ. William V. Judson expects to
produce large sea-going dredge at a
cost of about $2lO,O available,
among other things, for removing the
oars Of annual formation IN harbor
entrances on Lake Michigan, and es-
pecially at Racine and Kenosha.
his announcement is of great i'm
porfance to hundreds of shippers on
the lakes, for it means practically a
foot or more of water more than at
present in each channel the greater
part Of the year.
The dredge Maj. Judson expects to
obtain will enable the clearing up of
mar oors early in the spring, so that
vessels may load to their full draft
when the spring rush of navigation is
on.
With this dredge the government
will be able to work at much less ex-
pense than is incurred when general
contractors do the dredging. The
government will do the work alta cost
varying from 6, to II cents per cubic
yard, depending on conditions. The
last contract let by the government
for dredging on the west shore of
Lake Michigan called for an ex-
penditure of % cents per cubic yard.
The dredge will be of the type of
the Gillispie and the Burton, stationed
respectively on the east shore of
Lake Michigan and on Lake Erie.
These dredges are huge vessels of
such speed that they may go from
Milwaukee to any port in this district
in night. Their work of removing
bars is done by suction rather than
by dippers. The sand, as fast as
sucked from the bottom of the lake, is
deposited in the vessel. The Gillispie
has capacity of 900 cubic yards.
