 In the suit of the Hopevile school district against Rocco Famigletti to recover $44.31 taxes, Judge Rurpee to-day gave judgment for the defend- ant to recover his costs. The defense, which was conducted by Attorney Bauby. was that the district had been already paid the claim.
 Twelve men were admitted to citizenship in the United States today by Judge COwell at q special session of the district court. The new law makes the work of admitting candi- dates to citizenship a most arduous process. Under the old law ten would be made to one under the pres- ent law.
 Under the auspices of Mulcahy council, K. of C., the forty-five tour- nament will be resumed on Tuesday evening.

The Knights of Columbus chap. ter will meet tomorrow afternoon.
 James Cleary and John Shea were arrested this morning by Detective Colesanto accused of theft.

The stolen property consisted of a copper oil can, some old hose and an old rubber shoe. The whole bundle was worth about fifteen cents. Shea belongs in Springfield and Cleary comes from New Bedford, Mass.

PRICE OF TENEMENIS DEATH OF MRS COONEY
Landlord Says Tenants Are Re.
 spoDsible For High Rents.

It is pretty hard to tell what kind of an item attracts most attention in a newspaper. There were some spicy articles to cull from yesterday, but it would appear that the one that caught the eye of quite few and sunk the deepest into their hearts had reference to the price of tenements. Many called attention to it to-day in way that was not at all compliment tary to any of the views expressed therein. For example, very far seeing gentleman takes exception to the remark that the tenant is in no way responsible for the high class of buildings put up in Waterbury the past ten or fifteen years The land lords, he claims, are simply catering to demand and as this is shown in the disposition of tenants, an effort is being made to meet it. He admits, however, that the tenant is not wholly to blame, the other culpable party being the board of aldermen, who through the instrumentality of an ordinance, rendered it impossible to put up any kind of house except one that costs almost a fortune. The owners of tenement property, accord ing to those who have money invest ed in it, consider themselves the most abused set of citizens in the con- munity. The city ordinance prohibits them from building a house that could be let at low figure, and be- sides most people want the improve ments even when blind man can see that such things are beyond their means. Perhaps these conclusions are closer to the mark than the ones drawn yesterday, but even so the ad- mission is made that some one is ex- travagant and probably this makes trouble all around.

Moran Gets Decision.

San Francisco. Nov. 23.-Owen Mo ran. England's premier featherweight, last night got q decision over Frank c. Neil of this city near the close of sixteen rounds of twenty round bout. Neil, technically speaking. was not knocked out. but 1t was only the merci- full action of the chief of police which saved him from that fate. There was not a moments slow work in the en- tire contest. Both lads fought with re- markabIe vim and stamina. Early in the fight Moran showed himself to he the superior boxer. He is a clever two handed fighter. his most effective work fin the contest being an almost Contin- nous play on the Californian's head. Neil showed remarkable ability to reach the BritOn's stomach and sev- eral times during the contest he had his opponent greatly worried.
