PETITION YOT BEFORE Court.
Therefore Whitaker, as Yet. Has Not
Been Denied Naturalization.

In discussing the statement made
yesterday that David Whitaker.
former United States soldier who has
made application for naturalization
papers in the United States Court.
Henry C. Mahaffy, Jr.. deputy clerk OF
that court said today that Whittak-
er's petition has not yet been before
the court and that the time fixed for
the hearing in the case Is July 5.
Mr. Mahaffy said that Whitaker
applied for naturalization previous
to June. 1910 and was unable TO give
the name Of the boat on which he
came TO this country as required un-
der the law. In that month Whitaker
was told to make every effort TO get
the name of the vessel and later re-
ported that he was unable to do SO,
ae the records had been burned In
the Baltimore fire. He was then d.
NdCted to file a petition leaving the
name Of the vessel in blank. Mt.
Mahaffy said It was not until April s
of this year that the man filed this
petition and as such a petition must
be posted for ninety DAYS before a
hearing can take place, July 5. was
fixed as the time for taking up the
matter in court

By FRED c. KELLY.

Senator Curtis, of Kansas, is one OF
the most democratic members of either
branch of Congress, and since he's been
in the Senate has never ceased to dress
plainly and act like an ordinary busi-
ness man going about his daily tasks.
The Senator's secretary wears neat,
white side whiskers and has a face cut
slightly along Chauncey Depew lines. So
it happens that every once in a while
somebody takes the Senator's secretary
for the Senator.
Two men entered the Curtis outer
office the other day and inquired if the
Senator was in.
Yes: walk on into the next room," a
stenographer directed.
There the visitors found the Senator
and his secretary seated on opposite
sides of a big table
Il desire TO talk to you privately one
of them said, to the secretary. And then
to Curtis; You won't mind stepping into
the other room moment, will you?'
Certainly not" replied Curtis, and he
was about to walk out when the secre-
tary laughi1gly called the visitors at
tention to the error.
In the course of a Chautauqua tour a
summer or two ago Champ Clark had
occasion to take train at a small town
in Indiana for another point in that
State. 1t seemed that the railroad agent
there, and, in fact. the whole town, was
chesty over the fact that the flyers all
slowed up there to let passengers off,
though they did not stop at any other
points between there and Indianapolis
The future Speaker of the House
looked at his time table, but, timetable
like, it gave little information about the
stops.
Il suppose 1 can get off this train at
Red Key?'' or whatever town it was,
suggested the Missourian, interrogative-
Iy, as he came up to the window to get
ticket
The station agent didn't know the tall,
abIe-bodied stranger and he was piqued
at the insult to his town. Just because
the train stopped there was no sign it
stopped at everyslittle station along the
line, was it?
YES" he replied. you CAN get or
there. but you'd better make up your
mind right now if you're going to try it
and let me know SOS / can tell an un-
dertaker where to meet you
Put your crosses in the column under
Abe Lincoln's nose
Those were the instructions drilled into
the colored people who couldn't read or
write by the Republicans in many parts
of Maryland and other States in the
days when Lincoln's head-was the party
emblem on the ballots.
The colored voters would often get
confused and mark to. the right instead
of the left OF the names IN the Republic
can column. with the result that the
votes would be counted for Democratic
candidates. So for years the Republi-
cans instilied into the coiored voter the
idea OF marking right under Abe's nose.
as Abe was looking on toward the west
ern edge OF the ballot.
In this connection Representative Gov
