 Can Get Papers. RUSSIAN IS FIRST
 TO WIN PETITION Hazy on Government, But He Owns Property and

Assistant Clerk Fred W. Tracy conducted tn examination at the morning session.
 Boleslaw Wondolowski, born in Russia, was admitted to citizenship despite the fact he said E. J. Hill is governor of Connecticut. Although somewhat hay on some particulars of our government he answered most of the questions satisfactorily. His was IT. bic was inclined to continue the pe- tition for further study, but on learn, ing that Wondolowski is a property owner here, decided to admit him.
