Son of Italy Too
Shy to Become
Uncle Sans Boy
Anibale Sirianni Shows Up Each Time
and Then Flies the Coop at
Showdown.

Anibale Sirianni, an italian, wishes to
ONE a citizen of the United States, and
has taken out all due papers. Whenever
a hearing is to be held, Sirianni shows up
in the county court house a little before,
but on each occasion just before his name
is called he grows afraid and flees.
Monday Assistant Attorney General Day,
dismissed his application for want of pros
e%cution, the applicant having once more
flown the coop.
Many other applications also were dis
missed for want of prosecution and for
lack Of notification, the dismissal, how
ever, being without prejudice.
Nine were admitted, these being Abraham
Israel, Thomas George David Briggs,
Christ Lumboy Sorenson. Matthias Hruska,
George Frederick Pleuler, Henry McSorely,
Henry Dporly and August Nelson.
Sorenson passed a good examination
which, like those of the others, was held
before Judge Kennedy, but stumbled on the
last question put TO him, which was re-
garding the election of United States sem
ators. Mr.. Day tried to help him over the
hurdle, out Sorenson stuck TO his answer,
which wal " the people elect him" Judge
Kennel remarked that with so much in
the papers about popular election OF
senators there is easily room for a little
confusion.
The oldest man admitted was q. F.
Pleuler, for whom Fred Bruning, chairman
Of the county board, appeared as one
witness. Pleuler is Sc, having been born
in Germany in 1s43. He came 10 this
country in 1864 and served one year in the
army. which would have rendered it un-
necessary for him TO take out first papers
though he did so anyhow In 1891.

Between fifty and sixty inside electrical

journeymen are now getting more than
S7h cents per hour, though that is the old
scale. He says the workers only want 1t
made uniform and the 50 cents per hour
paid 10 the journeymen who can keep UP
their end OF the Job.
At most, the new scale would make only
81 per day for the journeymen, as they
work but eight hours. Some OF them are
now getting "a. and others are working
along from $225 to 1915.
No advance is asked for the helpers.
