RECEPTION FOR
 NEW CITIZENS
Exercises Tomorrow Evening at Elihu Burritt School

On Thursday evening at s o'clock, 94 new Americans of this city will as scmblc at the Elihu Rurritt school hall to receive the certificate of their new allegiance. That number of men is by far the largest that have been naturalizod at any one time in the citizenship court of New Britain. il is very nearly equal to the combined numbers that have passed the court hearings since ;B year ago when Coun cil chamber in the city hall was first opened tn the sessions of that court. which had previously been housed in the cramped and inadequate quarters of tho police building on Commercial street.
 Coming from nine different Euro pean nations, these 94 men will now belong to d single people united by democratic bonds and by American institutions for the promotion of the general Welfarc' of all, and ito Se- cure the blessings of Hbcrty' to thom- selves and their children. They have been selected from d much larger group of candidates by d process that is prolonged and at times severe. It is indeed well that this should be true, for there may be times when less than 94 votes will decide issues for the whole city, determine changes of ad- min1stration in city affairs. and either promote or retard the larger munici- pal progress.
 Because it is so important to the Well-belnE of the city and it's people that these new citizens should be inn pressed With the solemn rcsponsihil- ity of citizenship, the presentation of these much esteemed certificates has been surrounded with a ceremony and a dignity that is both fitting and impressive. For tho meeting tomor- row evening the following program has been arranged by the director Of -AmericaniZatiO F. T.. O'RriCn:
 Address by chairman Of mcetinG.
 .......... Mayor Geo. A. QuiglCy Vocal music ...... By male quartet Presentation of citizenship ccrtiti-
 'aleS ..''. .......... M. ). SaNc Song (SelcrtCd) -. by male quartet Address to the new citizens ....
 ............. l.. P. Sladc Singing Of America -. By all present
 A photographer will be present inn mcdiatcly after the program, 10 take a group picture Of those who receive the certificate of citizenship.

Although He Is Failing Fast He Re fuses to Name ASSaiIant to
 Police Officials.

Told that his condition has changed from favorable to very serious and that he may not recover from the wound in his back, inflicted in the darkness of night at the foot of South Main street d few weeks ago, James Rocco, refuses to be shaken in his plea of ignorance of the identity of his aSSailant, and the detective de partmCnt of tho local police head quarters is as far from a solution of the mystery as on the day of the shooting.
 One suspect, taken into custody by Detective SergeantS Richardson and Johnson, proved d good alibi, and Rocco would not identify him as having had any part in the shoot ing. Yesterday, after being told by the hospital physicians of the fleet ing chances of his recovery, he re- fused to give the police any infor- henSion of his aSsailant. His condi- tion today Is slightly worse than yesterday and should blood poisoning set in his chances for recovery are slight
 The detective bureau Is under the impression that Rocco is sworn to secrecy through connection With d gang, or else information necessary to apprchcnd his aSsailant might impl- cate him in something more serious than he cares to face.
