TO BECOME CITIZENS
Notices Fail to Bring Them to
Court and Naturalization Pc
titions Are Dismissed

Judge Thompson dismissed the petitions
of l39 foreigners for final naturalization
papers in the United States District Court

appear for the final test on applications
for certificates of citizenship.

the dockets for 10 years and six and seven
notices have been sent to the pctitioning
aliens to come to court on Il fixed day.
In dismissing the petitions the court
cleared the dockets for the first time
since 1906

sent out notices to 1870 aliens to appear
in court today. The 81 who responded
were passed and the remaining 139 petit
tions were dismissed. In these cases any
petitioner who can satisfy the court that
he did not receive any of the notices
or failed to appear for a good cause will
be permitted to file petition for n hear
ing, and on satisfactory proof Judge
Thompson will rescind the order of dis
