on Syrian.
Yesterday, as the Prince Wilhelm ll
was about to lame her New York deck
for iiayti, Iinbib Afiak, a rich Iiny-
tian merchant, was arrested for
naturalization frauds. The scene
changed very sickly for him, as ho
was drinkiaa e nmpngno at the time,
of his arrest. He denied that be was
an American citizen. but in his slim-ts
was found a letter from the state dc-
pnrtmcnt at Washington addressed to
him and refusing to grant him a pass-
port on a certificate of natm‘ulization
issued in liamford and bearing date of
November 19. 1903, Aflak also denied
having this certificate. but it was
found among his beimglngs. When
arraigned he pleaded not guilty and
was held in $2,500 ball.
This case foilowa another line which
has a black look, that of one Alexan-
dcr Scferschayan, who recently came
from ilayti and attempted to land at
New York as an American citizen. He
presented a certificate of naturaliza-
tion at Ellis island, which aroused the
suspicions of the authorities, it was
issued at. Waterbury on the same date
as Aflak's certificate, which was issued
at Hartford. Srl‘crschayau was an
able to give any description of the
Connecticut city where Ids papers
were issued. He could speak no Eng-
lish and when he was engaged In con-
versation in French it developed that
he was on his first visit to this coun-
try.
Assistant District Attorney Marx, of
New York says that he has evidence
that hundreds of fraudulent naturali-
zation papers have been issued in this
state to residents of liayti and South
American romiblics and that thousands
of dollars have been made in the traf—
fic. These certificates are bought for
the protection which they give their
holders as American citizens and be-
cause they enable them to dodge the
eitorbitant taxation of the little re-
public of llayli.
In Hartford where some of the mis-
used ('crtiiicatcs are said to have been
granted, there are three places where
they may be issued. the United States
district court, the superior court and
the court of common pleats. l7nitcd
States District Attorney Francis Ii.
Parker said last night that the court
of common plcns did the largest
amount of the business, more than
half of it. the proportion of certificates
issued by this court being unusually
large during presidential years.
lie referred to other schemes, one
being the issuing of papers which Were
actual i‘orgerics and still another that
of changing genuincpapors by the al-
tcrntions of the names of those to
whom they were issued. This was
done in some instances when the orig-
inal holder had no furthe’r use for his
certificate, perhaps being about to
leave the country to take up his resi—
dence permanently elsewhere. and be-
ing willing for a cornideration to dis-
pose of his certificate of naturalization.
The scheme which is systematically
worked to secure naturalization papers
to sell to Haytinns is one which has
fooled the courts, although it in no
sense reflects upon them. By this
plan, when a Ilaytian desired such
papers his name would be forwarded
to the gang in Connecticut.
would apply for citizenship under that
name, and a witness would swear that
he had known the applicant in this
country five years. When the papers
were issued they Would be forwarded
to the llaytian agent, who received in
payment sums ranging from $100 to
$750 each, according to the amount
which the one desiring them could
stand.
Attempts were made some time ago
to arrest members of the gang in Wa-
terbury and it is believed that the re-
ccnl developments will result in
breaking up their little industry.

ABOLISHING GRADE CROSSING.
TERRYVILLE, Ct., Aug. 18.—Con~
tractors P. H. London and Martin E.
Pearson, of Bristol, today began exca-
vating on a job which means the abol-
iebment of the dangerous grade cross-
ing at the Terryville station. The con.
tract calls for the removal of 20,000
cubic yards of dirt, the erection of
grants abutments under the steam
road tracks and the placing of a bank
wall fifteen feet in height. Untkr the
tracks the road way will be forty feet
wide. The grade crossing is to be
abolished after. a legal contest of about
five years, and is made possible by a
recent decision in the supreme court
of the United States to which the
Bristol and Pleinvilie Tramway and
the town of Plymouth took an appeal
from a decision of the state courts.
