He Will BECOME
CITIZEN OF U. S.
JOHN STRoo, NATIVE OF HoL
LAND, TO SWEAR ALLEGIANCE
TO STARS AND STRIPES.

John Stroo, native of Messenger,
Holland, but resident of Hattiesburg
since 1904, employed as a blacksmith
in the Mississippi Central r. R. Shops,
has just filed with Chancery Clerk
Gillis declaration of his intention to
become citizen of the United States.
Mr. Stroo left the "old country"
early in 1904, having sailed from Rot
terdam as stoker, landed at Gulf
port, where he left ship and came to
Hattiesburg. Since his residence here
he has married and his happy family
now consists of wife and two chill
dren.
Since leaving the Netherlands, sew.
eral of Mr.. Stroo's relatives have died
and until letter of inquiry from him
reached the old home a few months
ago he, too, was mourned as dead.
Being of industrious and frugal
habits, Mr.. Stroo is able now to go
back for while to the "vaderland"
which he plans to do, with a feeling
of independence. His visit is with
the idea of going in family reunion
of those members who are yet alive
and the anticipation of this visit serves
to make Mr.. Stroo quite happy. Moth
ing, however would induce him to
leave this God-favored land perma-
nently, and that he could claim the
rights of an American citizen he now
makes formal application for naturali-
zation papers.

davit that the immigration men took
Thaw in charge without having proper
authority from the minister
He states that before the board of
inquiry he demanded that E. Blake
Robertson, assistant superintendent of
immigration, produce this document
and that the latter declined to do so.
The second reason cited to Judges
Gervas and Gro ssin the informal ap-
plication made by Thaw's counsel be-
fore the matter was brought into
chambers Friday was the unconstitu-
tionality of the act.
The third point was the alleged mis-
use of the act to supplement and aid
the enforcement of law and order in
New York State.
"Thaw's chances of ultimate free.
dom are better now than they have
been at any time since he was first

Department to Consul Canada are not
regarded at the consulate as altering
materially the previous instructions
and most of the transportation proyid-
ed Will be continued to be second
class or steerage. The American con-
sui has been the center of protests on
the part of indignant refugees who
seem determined to leave the country
at the expense of the United States and
first-class at that.
Under his discretionary power he has
been providing sick women better ac.
commodations, but no one else If an
applicant for free passage admits hav-
ing in his possession sufficient money
he receives no aid. Among the appli.
cants it is not uncommon to find those
known to be well to do and in a few
cases wealthy. The difficulties of OBJ
taining first-class transportation have
checked greatly the rush out of the re-
public. The number of Americans here
is still large. There are only thirty
on the Tamaulipas whose passage has
been paid by the United States.
An American, w. ]. Sickles, on arriv.
ing here with his family, asked the con.
sui for transportation to the United
States. Consul Canada offered first
class passage to New Orleans on the
steamer Tamaulipas for the women, but
only third-class for the men.
Mr. Sickles refused to accept this
and sent telegram to Gen Huerta, ac
cepting the offer of his government.
Many of the refugees on the Tamaul
ipas are farmers from the Oaxaca dis
trict, who leave behind their small
properties, now deserted. They were
offered full protection by the Mexican
authorities if they would remain, bu
they thought it advisable to obey thei,
governments instructions.

lean capital, Mr.. and Mrs. Lind con

separated places on the New Jersey
shore of the Hudson river, was dis.
membered while the victim still lived,
according to the report of the autopsy
made by DR.. George w King, county
physician Of Hudson County, N. ].
The absence of the head made It
impossible, Dr. King said, to deter
mine whether the victim had been
stunned with blow or anaesthetics
were used. The Hudson river is be-
ing dragged for the head and limbs
of the body.

both parts of che torso thus far found
were wrapped, Monday located the
makers of the slip on which the let

COaticook, Que, Sept. 9.-William
TFayers Jerome was acquitted last
night of the charge of having gambled
on Thursday last on the station prop
erty of the Grand Trunk Railway here
while waiting for the immigration au-
thorities to pass On the case of Harry
X. Thaw. In discharging him the court
apologized for the Illumination to which
he had been subjected.
THE hearing before Magistrate Henry
Mulvena, of Sherbrooke, lasted less
than an hour. 1t began at Z: :35 o'clock
and at 500 the court said: Sir, you
are honorably discharged"
An attempt to hold an afternoon ses-
sion failed because the magistrate felt
he had no authority to take precedence
over James McKee,, the justice of the
peace, who signed the warrant for
Mr.. Jerome's arrest. Last night, how
ever, the magistrate said he was con-
vinced of his authority to act, and the
hearing moved with dispatch.
When acquitted Mr.. Jerome thanked
the court, spoke batteringly of his
reception in Canada and added that
he did not attribute his arrest and
brief Imprisonment last week to the
thinking people of the Dominion. He
took late train from Coaticook in or

Washington, Sent. 9.-Before Mrs.
Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the
British militant suffragist, can be ad-
mitted to the United States in Octo-
Der, the immigration authorities will
decide whether any Of the acts for
which she has been imprisoned In
England constitute moral turpitude

She will be detained at whatever
port she lands, but whether eventu-

Mrs. Pankhurst's visit presents at this
time purely a hypothetical question
and they decline to pass upon 1t in

the late Henry Bouren asked con-

divinely called to preach the gospel
could he have been diVinely called
to renounce the gospel to write novels
for a plaudant world?" Thos. Dixon
is entertaining and interesting, but
when that is said nothing more can
be added-Gaffney Ledger.
There is no disputing about tastes,
as very distinguished writer has
writ. We do know that the kind of
training and teaching of the negro
that ne is warning against does ex-
ist. The intermarriage does not and
yet, as he says, the telephone and the
telegraph and the steam engine have
made this one country and it is only
a few hours from Gaffney to New

tastes and if you don't like Mr.. Dixon

all right We will not quarrel about
it.

it is hard to think that the fellow who
did no work gets just as much bene-
fit from the fair and it's success as
the men who did sacrifice their time

orally happens that the fellow who
does nothing for the public good gets
more direct benefit than the fellow
who gives to the public of his time

very unarpreciative gentleman and
you will find that the patriots who sa-
criice for the pubic veal are general
