BAR FOREIGNERS FROM
RIGHTS TO CITIZENSHIP

(By Evening News Staff Correspondent.l
NEW BRUNSWICK, April 27.-
Four foreigners seeking second pap
ers were barred from citizenship by
Judge DAILY in the naturalization
court yesterday because they had
claimed exemption from military
service on the ground that they were
enemy aliens. Ten men in all were
refused citizenship, four by reason
of avoiding military service.
Andrew Boloz, 375 Grove street.
Perth Amboy, was dismissed for lack
of moral qualities. During the war
he refused military service on the
ground that he was an enemy alien
and he appeared yesterday wearing
one of the gold buttons which were
given to people who lost relatives.
When questioned he laughed and re-
fused to treat the matter seriously,
evidently thinking that he was do
ing something smart in wearing the
button when he had no relatives in
the service.
Other men dismissed were Nicho-
las Bartholome, of John street,
New Brunswick: Ladislaw Horvath'
of 62 Easton avenue, New Brunswick
and Alois Branchle. r. F. D. No. l.
Cranbury.
One man came from Somerset
county and said that he came be-
cause it was nearer and more con-
venient for him. One hundred and
twelve men were admitted to citi-
zenship, twelve cases were continued
and eighteen men made appearance.
One hundred and fifty cases are
scheduled for today.

ton, Madison and Catalpa
Avenues Complained of.
ACTION is PROMISED
Matter Will be Taken up With
the Board of Aldermen to
Remedy Conditions There.

dermen in order that the condition
rlay be remedied. At the present
time sewers terminate at the low

to see the sewers extended several
yards out further SO that the water
may wash away the refuse whether
at high tide or low.
Representatives from tn Wood
brook farms attended the health
board meeting last night in response
to a communication sent out by the
health officer stating that the bac-
terra count in the milk produced by
the farms far exceeded the number
that is allowed in the local health
code. Too much sediment in the
milk was also one of the causes for
the kick made by the health author
tiles here. The Representatives and
the board came to no decision as to
what the cause of this condition
might be, as the inspector has pro-
nounced the Woodbrook farms in
first class condition. The milk peo-
pie. however, will investigate the
matter further and make a report
Reder Brothers, the local milk
dealers. had also been summoned to
appear before the board to give rea-
sons for foreign matter in their milk
as well as too large bacterial count.
but failed to appear. The Roard
of Health expects to deal stcongl
with those who receive summons and
do not appear. but in the case of Re-
der Brotehrs will send a special de-
livery letter and give them another
hearing.

which is to be observed from May
to Is was also discussed and it was
told that several agencies will have
a hand in making the activity sue
cess. 1t is expected that the schools
of the city will also cooperate and
