Greene's office this morning inquiring about his relatives residing here, his uncle Charles Ozark, Winchester avenue, Milford, came in, saying that he read the an nouncement in one of the local pa pers about his nephew and wanted to have him located.
 The sailor told at the post office today that his mother har a. sister living in this city whose maiden name was Decker and had married a letter carrier.

The court remarked in passing sent once: The sooner these people con form with our established laws the better it will be for all of us. If they refuse to become reconciled to our customs and methods they had better go back to the country from whence they came."
