The time and day will be announced later. The naturalization eourt however will not be held until after the spring elections or in April.. There are between 400 and 500 applicants for citizenship papers. who have been waiting since last summer to be examined, but because |of the illness of Commissioner of {Naturalization Arthur J. Spellman. and other entanglements, the hear- ing was postponed indefinitely. The last naturalization court was held in June and the next hearing was scheduled for October. It did not materialize.

O'Brien about the matter, but no definite answer could be given them as nothing could be learned from the commissioner or his office as to the cause of the delay. Many of the applicants have been planning to go abroad in the spring, while others made arrangements last summer to haye their families Join them here, expecting that the naturalization court would be held in early fall.

Mr. Meyers is now receiv- ing treatment at the Bristol hospital for a broken hip, caused by a fall on the ice a few days ago. This last break brings the total of frac- tures sustained at various times by the patient to 35, which local doc- tors are inclined to believe is a world's record. Mr. Meyers does not doubt the record part of it at all but at the same time he is not inclined to brag about it. All of the other fractures, it is understood, g have been to his arms and upper parts of his body. The numerous breaks are explain- ed by the fact that Meyers' bones are unusually brittle and easily frac- tured, WAKEMAN MARTYR TOYELLOW FEVER On His Way Home From Africa to the disease he was studying Africa, Dr. Maurice Wakeman, Yale '23. of this city, died on Sat- urday, March 2, on the ship on try, of yellow fever.
