Eight Others Failed In Their
Citizenship Exams.
One Italian Thought Jay House
Governor of State.

OF nine applicants for citizenship in
the first division OF the district court
this morning, one was admitted. The
others failed to pass the required 'eX-
aminations. Today was designated as
the day for hearing the petitions of
aliens for their final papers, in ac-
cordance with the statute setting aside
the first Saturday in each term of
court for the hearing OF applications
for citizenship. The one man whose
application was admitted was an
Englishmany Douglas d. Mote, gov
eminent examiner, was in attendance.
The wisdom of the recent move of
the government in esta blishing schools
for the education of aliens who intend
to become citizens was demonstrated
when the examination of the appli-
cants began. During his examination
one man-an Italian-was asked who
the governor of Kansas is. After con-
sidera BILE deep thinking and hesitation,
he replied that the governor of Kan
sas is Mayor House.
Another mana Russian-who had
lived in America for seventeen years,
was still unable to speak the English
language. Some of the applicants

dence. The law requires that an
alien must have been a resident of the
United States for five years prior to
the time of taking out his final papers,
and must have been a resident of the
state and county where his final pa
pers are taken out, for period of one
year.
The recent constitutional amend
ment providing that aliens cannot vote
until after their petitions are allowed

WATER PRESSURE NORMAL
Hopper of City Plant Makes FRS
RepOrt to Hussey.

In pursuance with an agreement
with Fire Marshal Hussey a report
was made Friday afternoon by Engi-
neer Hopper of the city water plant
regarding conditions at the plant and
the water pressure which is now fur
nished to the city.
The report from Hopper reads as
follows: since January 1 domestic
water pressure has been maintained at
normal or slightly above, never below.
At every case of fire alarm the reg
ular pressure has been carried with
out any special trouble. There is no
reason to apprehend that affairs will
be any different in the future. The
pumping in the last two weeks has
been done wholly with one engine.
The other two have been held in re-
serve and put in good order. My
personal opinion is that you may feel
secure in fire service
This is the first statement to reach
the public to be made by Engineer
Hopper since he took charge of af-
fairs at the water pumping station,
altho from the date that he took
charge of the plant the water supply
in the city has been noticeably better
and was kept at par or at normal con-
ditior all the time.
