CITIZENSHIP PAPERS
Applicants Put Through Series
Of Questions To-Day.

Judge Peasley held session OF the
district court to-day for the purpose
OF hearing petitioners to be natural.
ized. The examination those days is
not anything like what 1t used to be.
A few trivial questions in the old
days sufficed and the petitioner was
fully fledged citizen of the United
States of America. To-day, under
the new laws relating to naturaliza
tion the petitioner is closely question
ed. His whole family history is
taken as well as his height and
weight, complexion, color OF his eyes
and hair and the name of the port he
sailed from, the port he arrived at,
date of sailing and date of arriving.
Besides this he is asked such ques.
lions as these, which were put to {
petitioner named Sundin, a resident
of Naugatuck since 1902, the date OF
his landing here.
what is the form of our govern
ment?"
who is the president of the coun-
try?"
"Rosenmatter," said Sundin.
What is the form of government
of the state?"
"Who makes the laws for the coun-
try or the state?"
"What is the form of government
Of Naugatuck, where you live?"
Connecticut" said Sundin.
what is the body called that
makes the laws for the county,"
What is the capital of the coun.
try?"
Sundin's answer to this was "Hart-
ford

ATTY WOODS FEE
Waterbury Lawyers Gave Opin-
ions In District Court.

Is lawyer worthy of his fee?
Noise Lallier says he is, but not to
the amount he charges. All day yes
terday in the district court, the jury
listened to opinions Of Waterbury
lawyers on the value of Attorney
Woods services to Noise Lallier.
The lawyer sued for $3.50, though he
had been paid 1925. He appear
ed in several suits for Lallier and
then--wel Attorney Wood has his
opinion Of human nature as expressed
in his ex-client's conduct.
Attorneys LIE. Burpee, John O'Neill
and most all of the well known law
yers in the city were called for the
defense and were asked what they
thought fling demurrer was worth,
making an argument on the same de-
murrer in the superior court in New
Haven, and then have it overruled
Mr. O'Neill thought S. for filing de-
murrer was about fair, and for
hiking 1t to New Haven and argu-
ing it, even though it was afterward
overruled was worth SIS.
For allowing decision by default
and filing an answer later to a sub
stitute complaint should not be paid
for, for that was negligence on the
part of the lawyer.
Mr. O'Neill thought a day i'll court
in New Haven was worth % and
expenses and a second trip for the
same purpose ought to be worth $40
or $15 and third appearance on the
same matter in the local superior
court was worth nothing at all if
not $25. OF course it would depend
great deal on the time Mr. Wood
spent on preparing the demurrers and
filing his substitute complaint and
then again one lawyer might know
where to put his hand on the right
law in a jiffy and another would
take a month to find it. The ques-
ton is still before the jury and will
be taken up again next Monday when
court comes in.
