prevented DR.. E. S. Shumakr, Indi-

the Indiana supreme court, has all

for him forwarded to the penal
farm, where he reads it, according
to E. A. Miles, league attorney.
Then the letters are returned to
the league Office, where Miles sends
out fern letters acknowledging re-
ceipt.
Many Visitors at farm
Shumaker has had many visitors
at the penal farm, including rela-
tives, Miles and league workers.
Included in Shumaker's mail are

in the penal farm. These communi-
cations even have take the form of
poetry.
However. Miles said, the mail also
includes proportion Of missives
from persons not in sympathy with
Shumaker or the league movement,
who gloat over the league Superin-
tendent's misfortune.
Many Are Unsigned
Most of these letters are written
in disguised handwriting and are
Z unsigned, he said.

A departure from the custom of recent years will be inaugurated at the session of naturalization court tomorrow afternoon when United States Commissioner Luther W. Trockmorton will recommend that cases of two or three years stand ing be stricken from the docket in- stead of continuing them for fur ther study.
 The commissioner feels that can- didatcs for citizenship papers who have been appearing at each court session and not showing improve. nent enough to qualify block the progress of the court and add to the many duties ncccssitatcd when the periodical sessions arc held.
 All of the 1%3 cases which will b@ heard tomorrow are applications which were continued because ir previous sessions the candidates lacked some of the qualification necessary for citizenship papers. Ii is probable that less than half of them will succeed this time, accord ing to advanced information rccciv- ed today.
