Clerk Gillette points out the singu-
iur fact that. there have been no nppil'
cations of a Syrian for naturalization
since that oi Sei'crschayau. The po-
lice. when this fact was called to their
attention gave it as their opinion that
a naturalization fraud was not repeat,-
od in the same court- They say it is
likely that if these frauds are exten-
sive that the bogus applications have
been filed individually in a very large
number of cities. interviews with a
number 0f Syrian business men who
live and have lived for some years
near 596 South Main street. showed
that they are not aware of any Syrians
of the names given living there, or go-
ing to court to get naturalization pn-
pers. One business man said that he
did not think it possible that any SY-
rlan had come to this city during the
past three years but who was brought
or directed to his store, especially if
the new comer could not speak Eng-
lish. He doubted very much that any
man named Seierschayanlwas made an
American citizen at the court here.

Twenty-Five Lawyers From All Over

liAll’i‘ii‘tillD. Aug. ill.~»~'i‘wonty-live
lawyers representing the defendants
in the famous U. Preston Atwood
suits. accepted Attorney Gellerai
King's invitation and met him at his
‘oiiico, at the capitol. Wednesday, where
they spent nearly two hours in dis-
secting Mr. Atwood and devising plans
for circumventing ills schemes.
When the lawyers were invited into
the attorney general's private office
the newspaper men present went, too,
and at first there was a duspoaitlon to
allow them to remain, the attorney
general making a plea for them, any‘
ing that their judgment could be. do“

of the proceedings should be printed.
line of the lawyers thought it would
ho a good plan to have the early part
of the trim-ting open to reporters and
then go into secret session for a con-
ference. li‘innily, err-Representative
ll. ll, Freeman, Jr., suggested that
Attorney General King he made a
committee of one to give out. to the
papers after the, meeting, such mat-
ters us it was desirable to make pub-
ilc This was agreed to and the re-
porters went out where it was cooler.
When the meeting adjourned the fol-
lowing statement was given out:
“At a meeting of the attorneys for
400 of the defendants in the cases now
pending in the court of common pleas
for Fairflclti ctmnty, brought under
Section 324 of the revised statutes of
this state, wherein D. Preston Atwood
appears as plaintiff. held at the attorl
ney genoral‘s office at Hartford, Au«
gust I7, 1004, at 2 p, Iu., for the pur-
pose of discussing the best methods
to protect the interests of the defen-
dants, J, Beiden liurlbutt, was appoint-
ed chairman. After .a long discussion
a resolution was introduced as follows:
“ ‘Rcsoived, That a committee of
seven be appointed from this body to
take such action as they shall deem
advisable to protect every person sued
by D. Preston Atwood under Section
324 of the revised statutes in every
way that they may deem necessary
and advisable. The following commit-
tee was selected:
“‘Morris W, Seymour. Bridgeport;
J. Belden Hurlbutt, Norwalk; Charles
Phelps, Rockvlilc; Harrison F. Free-
man, .Ir.. Hartford; .l. H. Roraback, Ca-
naan; George E. Beers, New Haven;
Donald G, Perkins, Norwich.
"‘And it was further resolved that
the attorney general of this state he
requested to act with the aforesaid
committee for the aforesaid purpose.
“ ‘John J. Walsh, Secretary.‘ "
Although the meeting was one of
considerable length, it was harmon-
ious and the lawyers present were un-
animous in their desire to find some
plan of concerted action which will
enable them to tight Atwood success-
fully. When they adjourned they
were well satisfied with the after-
noon‘s work and the attorney general
seemed pleased with the results of his
efforts to get them together. He said
after the meeting that he was confl-
dent that Mr. Atwood would not win
his stilts.
At the meeting Wednesday the ad-
visability of calling an extra session
of the legislature was considered, but
it was the opinion of those present
that this action should only be taken
as a last resort, after all other meth-
ods had been exhausted. Morris W.
Seymour is chairman of the commit-
tee appointed Wednesday, but when he
will call the committee together Is not
known and there may be nothing doing
before the September term of the
court of common pleas for Falrfleld
County. when it is expected that the
committee will call the attention of the
court to the misuse of the law under
which the suits have been brought.
Charles Phelps, of Rockville, named on
the committee, was not present at
Wednesday’s meeting.
