in U. S. Court.

Two persons were denied the right
to become citizens of this country at
the session of federal court held in
Montpelier Thursday These were Ma
tale Cardini and Ernesto Cecchini of
Barre. Refusal to the latter was be-
caused he had not acquired knowledge
OF conditions here since he came to
this country. Cardini was denied ad-
mission for several reasons.
Koran G. Small of Boston, represen-
tatiye of the federal government, in the
examination Of Cardini brought out
that he did not attend church and had
not contributed to the different war ac-
tivities. In examination of Chief
Mitchell of Barre Mr.. Small brought
out considerable about the mans stand
ing, while from Mayor Glysson he Sc
cured the details in connection with
the inscription on Cardini's monument
in cemetery in Barre, bearing, the
witness said, something of this nature,
'No fear God nor Man"
Judge H. B. Howe also examined
Cardini at some length and the man
stated he did not attend church and
had not in IS years, that he was not
contributor to the church. Cardini be-
lieyed a mans home was his church.
When asked if he believed in Christ the
reply was II can't see Him; ] don't
know" As a boy he was Catholic.
He testified, when asked why he did
not give anything to the war causes
that he could not afford it. He bought
no Liberty bonds, no war savings
stamps and gave nothing to the Red
Cross
When he stated that he could not af-
ford to give to these causes the court
said that it did not believe his state
ment, for he had testified that he re-
ceiyed S4 day. In reply to question
from Mr.. Small, the man testified that
he was not an J. W. w.
The court said that if the man was
Of real good citizenship timber he would
have contributed support to the allies,
cause and he did not believe the man
would make a good citizen, according
