NEW ENGLAND MAY DAY.
Most Peaceful One on Record
 Very Few Strikes.

Boston. Mass. May May day in New England. isually day of indus trial disturbaihc,, was this year one of the most peslcdul on record. due :n part to the dul condition of business and the constituent over-supply in the labor marketI The only strikes of magnitude inl tlis section this spring. those in the lgranita industry during March and April. which involved nearly ten thousand men, have been adjusted. thu strikers in several places returning to work to-day. The building trades in Boston and other large cities afe not hampered this year by protracted disputes and in the textile and metal industries there are no disputes of consequence.
 In the textile industry of New Eng land about forty per cent of the ma chinery is idle, which has the effect of keeping about 100000 operatives idle or on short time. The American wooien company which controls thIr- ty plants in New England, Is operat- ing about half Sf it's machinery. an increase of 15 per cent since Janu- ary. The independent wooden mills are on the similar basis.
 In tls cotton gbods and cotton yarn mills about 40 per cent of the spin dles are stopped. The cotton cloth business continues poor. cotton yam ls in little ind. and the lndica- lions point to a general curtailment during the summer months.

AS TO NATURALIZATION.
Judge y| y|acombe Makes Important Rul
 ing Regarding It.

Judgd E. Henry Lacombe of the CIT cult co@rt of the United States TOT the southern district of New York has fled an important decision pear inp on the naturalization of aliens.
 The federal law relating to nat uralization provides that the clerk ol the coutt immediately after the nilng of petition for naturalization snail give notice thereof by posting, stat ing the 1lame, nativity and residence of the alien, the date and place of his arrival in the United States and ol the final hearing of his petition, to- gether with the names of the Wit nesses whom the applicant expects tc summon in his behalf. Michael O'Day filed a petition for naturalization in the southern district of New iork, and his petition was posted ninety days, as prescribed by the federal statute. When he appeared in courl to he naturalized he told the judge that he could not offer one of his, original verifying witnesses to testify for him, and he asked for permission to substitute another witness, Frank Curran, who was believed to have the. requisite notifications. The United. States district attorney objected on. the ground that Curran's name had not been posted the required ninety days. Jucge Lacombe holds that the point was well taken by the district attorney. 1n his decision he says
 "The very object in posting the names of witnesses is to give the gov- ernment opportunity for full inves tigation, conducted by its own off, cers. without having to depend sole ly on crossexamination of persons Of whom it neEer heard until the cases come up fdA final disposition. It isl unfortuRati that the petitioner has been unabhI to procure the attend ance of hisI original witnesses, but it is no great Hardship for him to wait until the Iame of the new witness shall have been posted the requisite length of time. It wourS seem that persons seeking to be naturalized might avoid such delay by Hing with their petitions the names and ad- dresses of alias witnesses whom they propose to G. in the event of origi- nal witness failing to attend"
 Under thu ruling the name of O'Day's friera, Mir Curran, will have to be posted for ninety days before Mir o'Day can have a hearing on his petition for naturalization. It Is be- lieved that Judge Lacombe's ruling will be followed in this district here after.

JAMES ST DECISION
Judge C0Well Refuses 10 Dis
 solve the Injunction.

Judge Cowell handed down an important decision in the district court this morning, refusing to dis solve the injunction against the city got out by Thomas Kelly and others, who do not wish James street to be widened. When Baker Kelly and a few other property owners on James street heard that the city was going to make James street a sixty foot thoroughfare, which would compel the removal of some of the build- ings from their present position, they went to work and had Judge Cowell issue an injunction restraining the city from beginning work on the street.
 A hearing was held later to have the injunction dissolved and decis- ion was reserved until to-day. By the refusal of Judge Cowell to dis solve the injunction the case will go to the superior court, but will not be heard until next fall. This will have an important effect upon the Town Plot trolley, as nothing will be done on that line until James street is widened.

 W. k. THOMS, Mayor. Building Inspector Chatfield and

 Gentlemen: You are hereby re- quested to examine at your earliest convenience all the churches and lodge rooms in the city of Water bury, together with the school houses in the Bunker Hill, Waterville, Hopeville, Mill Plain and Town Plot districts, and report to me as to their safety in case of fire, together with any recommendations as to exits and fire protection which it may seem wise to you to make.
 Very truly yours,

 These are matters which should receive constant attention. Many lock doors through force of habit and never realize what 1t means un- til something happens. Exits are good things, but they don't amount to much unless children are made sensible of what they are for and taught how to use them. It is an easy matter to get into, any of the schools, but with fire in the base ment 1t might be difficult to get all the children out on time to avoid accident. If there is anything about jhe school that demands attention now Is the time to attend to 1t and let those who may step in and criti- cize.
