Hardship Under New Naturalization Law
 Corrected by Congress.
Special from United Press. }


 Washington. Jan. 16.-What promises to be a popular form of legislation has been initiated by Congress in passing a special law to confer citizenship up- on Benjamin and George Bennett of Ogemaw County. Mich. Their cases are typical of thousands disclosed m he country after the, passage of naturalization law by Congress several years ago. The persons involved came to this countrysas children but cannot prove that theft fathers took out sec ond naturalization papers. These sons must make declaration of citizenship and wait two years.
 When the defect in their citizenship was discovered one of the Bennett brothers had to resign as mayor of West Branch. Michigan. and the other had to give up the practice of law. where they live and have held import ant offices, They came from England forty years ago when the elder was only one year old Under the natural operation of the law they could not. when their plight was discovered. be- come citizens within. two years. So they appealed to Congress for relief
 The Senate passed a bill for their benefit last spring and after passing the House late yesterday afternoon. It is now a law. When the action in fav- or of the Bennett brothers becomes generally known. there will doubtless be flood of applications from those who want to get into the fold without waiting two years.

 BROKE FAITH WITH THE MANUFACTURERS

Especial from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington. Jan. 16-That the strike of the United Hatters is case of broken faith on the part of the work men and not the manufacturers. is the opinion of Milton Damman. attorney for the manufacturers.
 Nearly two years ago. he said to- day, "the hat makers and the manu- lecturers entered into an agreement under which the hat makers were not to strike or withdraw union labor from any of the sixty.two plants that make up the Manufacturers Association, without first giving a ten day notice that such act was to be taken.
 Without notice to the Manufa actur- ers' Association. the union called out it's men and refused the use of their label to the Guyer Hat Company of Philadelphia.
 unions should give the necessary ten days notice and at the meeting Thurs day night notified the union that the union label would be ordered out of every one of the remaining sixty-one factories. unless the label was restored and the men went back to work in the Philadelphia plant. The union re- quired one hour to make its reply. It was that the union label would not be restored to the Philadelphia company Then orders were given for each one of the factories to refuse further use of the union labei.''

JUST LIKE FOX TO SEND COLLAR
 THROUGH MAILS
Unique Package Received By "Abe" Stevens from Old Time Bridgeport Fla vorite.
In Place of Conventional Medium the "GlObe Trot-
 ter" Uses a Parcel of His
 Discarded Linen.

StrangeSt of all strange mlSSiveS ar rived at the Bridgeport post office yes terday in a sack of mail from Wilkes barre, Pa. Devoid of any exterior wrappings, d linen collar, which from appearances had been worn by the owner at least twice, stamped, ad- dressed and bearing a regulation pos tai cancel mark, was received by Postmaster Marigolds corps of clerks and sorters and eventually was deliv- cred by gray uniformed carrier to it's destination. This nose, written on real linen" if ever anything was, was consigned to MT. Abe Stevens. the genial stage manager at Polls theatre, and it was from 10 less a celebrity in the stage world than Will H. Fox, one or the world s most accomplished and successful pianologists and a former Bridgeport boy to boot.
 MT. Fox having recently returned from successful European tour, IS appearing in Wilkesbarre at Polls new theatre there this week in his remark ably clever "Paddywhiski" piano turn. NIT. Fox comes back to his old home town, Bridge port, next week and will be one of the big features at Polis. The letter" from MT. Fox to the stage manager at Polls is written on one of the pianist's Is 1-2 linen collars and it purports to be the araist's scene and property "plot" for his engagement next week. Of course the plot is a burlesque as anybody who has the faintest knowledge of things behind the "foots" and the "borders'' will readily surmise. MT. Fox writes:
 Stage Manager, Polls Theatre,
 Bridgeport, Conn.,:
 Please have 4 rubber screw-eyes; paper lash elects; box of shouts; sure grass mats; yards of molasses ripped; gum stage braces; and hot and cold folding doors in dressing room. Enclosed find box of cigars for stage crew. Excuse writing ma terial. Yours, Will H. Fox.'
 The plot is written on the reverse side of the collar and the address on the outside flap.
 MT. Fox will be we'll remembered by many in Bridgeport, having been born and raised here. He was known as an accomplished pianist here back in some of the good old days not alto- gether beyond recall. MT. Fox besides being. 8 talented pianist is also a com poser and has written number of popular ballads. While touring Eur ope during several seasons, where he made a signal success of his famous 'Paddywhiski' MT. Fox has never for gotten many of. his old friends in and each recurring Christ mas has brought to them from Mr. Fox some token of remembrance from a far distant land.

BASE BALL "DOPE'
 COMES AND GOES
What the Leaguers Are Co., ing to Do Today They Are
 Not Going to Do Tomor-

Now that the fans have lost their polo, the mid-winter dope of the base ball season of 1909 begins to break in upon us. Reports come from all parts of the Connecticut league of baseball deals one day, and then they are knocked in the head the next. The ball was started rolling in New Haven a few days ago, when it was reported that Manager Bone was to trade First baseman Reischman TOT John Bunyan of New Britain. The funny thing about this deal was that Manager Hanna of New Britain had not been consulted. The way the New Haven papers had it doped out was that Bone could go right up to the New Britain owner and say that he wanted Bunyan, and that would end it. It seems that Hama has ideas of his own for he comes right out and says he won't part with Bunyan and that Reischnan isn't any good anyway.
 Still another from New Haven way was to the effect that Bill Yale of Springfield was to play first base. One of the proposed new owners of the Ponies is supposed to be a first base man and as they cannot play two men on the bag Yale will be offered as a sacrifice. Yale is the best first base man in the league and as an all around player has it on most of the Nutmeg CTS.
 Holyoke expects to have a much bet ter team than last season. It is be- 1ieved that Mike Mccormack will make a capable manager. Of last seasons team he will have Sindler, Reiger and Hodge, pitchers: Baker, Perkins and Massey, infielders; and DOlan and Burke, ontfielders.
 Manager Connery up in Hartford has been hustling all season and is deter mined to land a pennant winner this coming season.
 In Waterbury things still hang on a thread. It will not be known till next week whether Tommy Corcoran will manage the team or not.
 Manager O'Rourke says that he will have a better team than ever and is going to make an early start this sea- son. Heretofore he has spent most of his time looking up men for the other teams in the league and neglect ing his own interests. He intends to reverse his style this season and give Bridgeport the team that a. growing city oe it's size deserves.
 Chicago. Jan. 16.-Joe Tinker. the great shortstop of the Chicago Cubs, New York pitchers-particularl Chris topher Mathewson-was primarily re- sponsible for the West Siders winning the last National Leagle p:nnant may be traded by President Charles w. Murphy. The. Chubby One planes Tinker for doing much unnecessary talking about the clubs affairs and for starting the recent controversy which resulted in Murphy having to promise $f0 900 to his players. provided the Ma tional Commission did not object.
