ALIENS MUST OBTAIN
FIRST PAPERS TODAY
This Is Last Chance Under
NeU LatO Till NoU. S.

Aliens who wish to become citizens OF
the United States and who have not yet
taken out their first papers declaring
their intentions OF becoming citizens, will
not be able to do so until after Novem-
Naturalization Bureaus close to-day at
noon.
William F. Schneider. County Clerk
and head Of the Supreme Court Natural
zation Bureau of New York county,
which passes upon more prospective
American citizens than any similar bu-
reau In the country. explained the aitua-
ton which was created by the enactment
Of special law by Congress in 1917.
He said:
There are States In which a person
who Is not a citizen may vote at gen
eral election by simply producing hls
first papers Included in such States are
Alabama, Arkansas. Indiana, Kansas,
Michigan, Missouri, Nebraska. South Da-
kota and Texas In those States.as soon as
an allen declares his intention. he may walk
up to the ballot box and vote. The priv
ilese vas abused to such an extent in an
Indiana election that quite a scandal was
created and Congress took action. A
law was passed which forbids the accept
ance OF declarations OF intentions for
thirty days prior TO any general cleo
ton"
1t was explained that this law has no
bearing on the cases of foreigners who
already have received first papers and
who wish to make application for final

ONLY THREE OPPOSE

TtDo Men for Divine Laru,
Woman for Later Dinner.

A.. Out OF all the city invited by the
Board of Aldermen a week ago TO pre-
sent views on daylight saving only three
persons appeared yesterday at a meeting
called to consider a light saving ordi-
nance and declared themselves as in
opposition to the measure. -
They were Alfred Roeder, who said he
was a banker and appeared for himself
Z. p. Disrow, another citizen, on. his own
behalf. and Mrs Dunlap. further iden-
tity not given, who said she was against
it because it compelled housewives to at
tend to the preparation of supper dur
ing part of the hottest part of the day
g The two male dissenters pressed their
objections on the score that setting the
clock forward or back was in violation
of divine law. They explained that
mans patent duty was 10 regulate his
life according TO the sun IN It's course.
Opposing them. Marcus NJ. Marks, one
time, President of Manhattan and often
called, the father of daylight saving in
New York. and DR.. Royal s. Copeland,
Commissioner OF Health, gave all the
reasons they could think Of why this
city should go on saving daylight In
summer regardless of the repeal of the
law which was passed originally to save
II all over the country.
Mr.. Marks quoted principally from
letters written him by civic and COM
mercial societies, manufacturers. public
officials and heads of labor bodies. DR..
Copeland supported the measure on
grounds OF public health. especially the
welfare of children.
The hearing was held by the welfare
committee OF the Board of Aldermen.

CALLS TRUCE UNTIL
MORAN GETS WELL
La Guardia Will Take No
Political Advantage of Ill
Opponent.
PERSONAL RECORD TABOO
Any New Issues Will First BE
Submitted to Aldermanic
Head.
PERSONAL RECORD TABOO

Representative F. II. La Guardia. Re-
publican candidate for President of Che
Board of Aldermen, announces he will
not take the slightest advantage of the
illness OF President Robert l.. Moran. his
Democratic opponent He has gone fur
ther than many another candidate for
political ONCE might 60 Not only will
he refrain from criticising the personal
record of President Moran, but he will
not discuss any new Issues until he has
submitted what he Is going to say to
him In order that Mr.. Moran may pre-
pare a reply, which Mr.. La Guardia vol
unteers to read to his audiences.
In spite Of the fact that President
Moran is said to be making good re-
covery from his recent operation for APP
pendicitis, those who are familiar with
such operations say that II will be I'M
possible for him to make any campaign
speeches before election day. Even
should he get out of bed and around the
doctors will insist, it is said, that he ex-
ercise the greatest caution in not get
ting over tired and they will not permit
him to stand on his feet for any length
of time for some weeks.
This practically put him out OF the
campaign, except. for such statements
as he may be able to prepare. Through
the courtesy of Representative La Guar
dia, he may enjoy the privilege of an
swering the Republican candidates argu-
ments at the same time they are made.
This is explained in the following letter
which was sent to Mr.. Moran the night
of the day on which he was operated
upon:
OCTOBER 1, 1919.
Hon. Robert L. Moran. Lincoln Hospi-
tai, Bronx, New York.

also should you have any statement in
reference thereto which you desire to
make public 1 will. of course. read such
statement in connection with mine
with kind personal regards, l am,

MARKEWTCH ATONES
FOR MOOSE SPEECH
Assistant District Attorney
Apologies to Federal Court
and Job Hedges.
SAYS HE WAS EXCITED
His Reference to Charles III.
Showed, He Explains, That
He Lost Self-Control.

when Samuel Markewich, one OF Dis
trict Attorney Swann's assistants. told
an East Side audience on September Is
that ''the traction interests have SUI
preme control of the courts and what
ought to be done about IL is what was
done in the days of Charles 1.-THE
moose the noosel In those days they
hung judges" he didn't mean It. He
was excited. Really and truly.
when you spoke of Charles II, you
meant Charles L." corrected Federal
Judge Mayer. before whom Markewich
was arraigned yesterday for contempt OF
court.
Eyes, and that mistake indicates the
excited state OF my mind at the time"
Markewich hastened TO say.
Word for word Markewich retracted
his speech of September Is. He had
said all those unpleasant things. he con-
fessed. but he was excited. In terms
of highest praise he asserted his faith
and trust in the integrity OF the courts.
"As a faithful and devoted member of
that race which tomorrow will observe
the great Day Of Atonement." he plead
ed. II shall be happy and relieved and
thankful to the Almighty II before the
commencement of that great day / can
leave this courtroom with a feeling that
/ have atoned for my indiscretion and
that / have been reinstated in the good
graces of this court and the personal re-
spect of your Honor and Mr.. Hedges"
To the formal charge of contempt
brought by United States Attorney
Caffey on information OF the Department
Of Justice, Markewich pleaded guilty. At
the East Side meeting which was called
to discuss the effect of the courts order
disseminating four crosstown lines serv-
ing that district. he explained to Judge
Mayer:
II labored under such great mental
tension that spoke faster than I
thought and made utterances which I
am sure would not have been made by
me were prompted by my natural in
stinct or guided by calm judgment.
1T Is unnecessary to repeat those ut
terances because they were doubtless
conveyed to your Honor by some one
who heard them. II were asked to re-
peat them 1t would be most painful for
me to do so, because upon reflection I
realized I should not have said what !
did say"
His apology. which he read, was as
complete retraction OF the hasty senti-
mepts about Judges and nooses as a
courtroom ever heard. Markewich was
accompanied by counsel, William III.
Minton, Jr., who told the court that the
statements had been exaggerated In the
newspapers. But Markewich admitted
that he had said what he was quoted as
saying
Job E. Hedges, who is receiver Of
the New York Railways Company, and
others who attended the meeting on Sep
TENDER IS were present to testify. but
Markewich's plea of guilty and the read
ing Of his apology obviated that neces-
sty.
Judge Mayer announced that he would
reserve decision to give the matter of
Markewich's confessed contempt careful
consideration, and added that he felt
gratihed for the honor of the profession
that Markewich has seen At to make
such an apology. 1t was, all told, a good
start on Markewich's day Of atonement.

These concerns point out that they
were not assessed for personally In the
