WAR QUESTION TO
BE CONSIDERED
Germans and Austrians Pc
titiOn to Become Citizens.

The question Of admitting to full citi-
zenship German and Austrian born men
will be considered by Judge w. w.
Thornton of Superior Court, Room 1, at a
three day hearing to start April 81
The court was informed today In a let
ter from Fred Schlotfeldt, chief naturali-
cation examiner of Chicago, that the files
of his office shows that there are 1870 pc
titions filed by natives Of countries with
which the United States was at war in
addition to ffty-eight petitions filed by
aliens from allied or neutral countries.
The examiner suggested that the hear
ings begin on April 81 and continue
through April %.
Judge Thornton ordered his docket
cleared on those three days of all cases
so as to enable the jurist to give his
entire attention to the naturalization ap-
plications.
During the war no Germans or Aus
TRANS and foreign born of other ma
tions with which this country was at war
were permitted to receive naturalization
papers. The April hearing viii be the
first scheduled hearing of these appli-
cations, except where a German-b born has
served in the United States Army and
was entitled to become a citizen Of this
country.
1T will require much time and the
hearing Of considerable evidence to dis
pose OF these applications said Judge
Thornton in order his docket cleared for

contradict his statements. He has made
three statements from his Jail cell here

each one and Will present all Of them to
the grand jury.
In his most recent statement, made

and walked back the road a short dis

the Italian holding a short club with
blood on 1t and LOvett lying in blood in
the road.

threatened to fasten the blame on him

a railroad track and let a train strike
It to mangle LOvett's body. But. the
statement said, Virgil drove to the river
cottage on the rear Of the Fred Decker
farm where authorities believed the muir
der was committed. There he took or

crowd in the hotel Hobbies on the night
before a political convention. There was
former Governor James Z. Goodrich
who succeeded In gaining admission
without a great deal Of trouble and who
when emerging, insisted he didn't know
anything about appointments.
There was Senator Oscar Rats, Re

about appointments. He succeeded in
gaining admittance after a long wait and
