Kx-Judgc Knapp appeared for the' managers of tho Homo and Attorney I.. P. Wedeman represented Mrs. I'ar frey.

Judge Archbald therefore quashed the petition. Mr. Wcdeman's conscientious action Is an emphatic vindication of the agent of the board of associated charities, who caused the authorities to tako tho child from Its bad ourroundlngs and strenuously fought tho efforts made through the courti to tako the boy from the Homo and subject him to tho abuses ho encountered while living with his mother.

NEW RULE WANTED BY NEW MEMBERS Point Was Raised at a Meeting ol tlio Board of Control. RAILROADINQ BILLS 01IJECTED TO lint tho Old nnd Incoming Controllers lMingrco ns to What Constitutes Hullrondllig.-Mr. Gibbons, Pilled with Patriotism, WnnU tho Stars nnd Strtpos to Ply from a 100-Poot Polo nt tlio High SchoolPirn In surunco Pollclos Arc Docronsod. There was fur. ns well ns buslnerrt nt last night's meeting of the board of control. The fun was occasioned by tho objection of Mr. Jayne, of the Thirteenth ward, one of the new mem bers, to approving bills passed on only tho recommendation of the commit tees. Ho wanted tho detailed Items and amounts read, Instead of the to tals, and would decline to vole In fa vor of tho bills under any other con sideration. As from three to six hours would be required for each session If Mr. Jnyno's plan was followed, It waa quite natural that his Inquires were received with more or less surprise by the com mitteemen who reported the bills. Mr. Jayne's first objection was raised on the usual routine motion that or ders be drawn for the several bills re ported by Mr. Barker of the high and training school committee. Nearly all the bills were for labor. Mr, Barker Is not the chairman of the committee. In answer to Mr. Jayne's questions he said tho bills had been npproved according to custom by those ot the committee who were present when the meeting began. Mr. Neuls, another new member, said he had not seen tho bills nor been no tified of a meeting of the committee. To this Mr. Barker replied that the bills were for the labor of men long In tho employ of the board. Their work was known to Mr. Jennings, chairman of the committee, who had passed upon and approved them. Ho was convers ant with tho charges and his endorse ment was proof sufficient of correct ness. After several minutes of debate, mo tions, counter motions and amend ments, the bills wero re-refcrred to committee with power to the latter to order them paid If found correct. This wph done nt the suggestion of several of the old members who pointed out the Injustice of hanging up bllld for labor. ANOTHER OBJECTION. Mr. Jayne registered another objec tion when a motion was made to pay the bills presented by Mr. Schricfer, of the building committee, who said they had been approved by a major ity of the committee. Mr. Jayne wns told It would require a long period of time to rend each Item and amount as Mr. Jayne suggested. The bills had been open for Inspection before tho meeting and they could be examined after It. He would have to decline consuming valuable time by reading the Items separately. The bills wero ordered paid. A few minutes later the big bundle of' bills was passed to Mr. Jayne, who spent about Ave minutes In an examination of a few of tho items, the whole of which would have required at least a half hour's diligent work If he had fln lbhed the Job. Just before adjournment Mr. 5ield ler, of the Eighth ward, another now member, bobbed to his feet nnd in formed .tho chair he desired to offer for adoption a rule covering the objections previously raited by Mr. Jayne. Mr. Zeldler, who is chairman of the com mittee on rules, was told his proper course would be to prepare the rule In committee and present It for the board's consideration. As Mr. Zeld ler, Mr. Langan and Mr. Juyne are tho committee on lules, it Is obvious what their report will be, though' the final disposition of the rule by the board la not so certain. Mr. Gibbons made an energetic plea that a suitable flagpole be procured for the now High School building. It was to be deplored, he argued, that a build ing which with Its grounds and fur nishings, and one of the best In the country, costing $300,000, could not boast of a proper pole from which to display the stars and stripes. "Espec ially at this time," he remarked, slg nlllcantly. Mr. Schrlefer, of the speclnl commit tee some time ago appointed to pro cure n. 100-foot wood pole, reported the inability of the committee to find it In this region. Mr. Gibbons offered a mo tion that a new special committee of three be appointed to procure a pole, to be of steel or wood, 100 feet high, the cost not to exceed $500. Tho mo tion was defeated by a vote of 7 to 12, but a subsequent motion by Mr. Davis, with several seconders, prevailed that a Eoeclal committee be appointed to In vestigate the cost of a pole of steel or wood. Messrs, Barker, Langan and Jayne were appointed on tho commit tee, A motion and nn amendment by Mr. Gibbons, and Mr. Evans, respectively, prevailed that the building commltteo procure poles for Nos. 1F and 13 build ings. TEACHER'S COMM1TTKE REPORT. The following report of the Teacher's commlttc-o was approved That teachers who by direction of tlio board reported at their respective build ings in November last for two evenings to register night school pupils bo paid for their services at the regular rate of night school teachers.

To become a citizen of tho United States through the channel of the Lackawanna courts.tt is now necessary to bo armed with u certificate from the bureau of immigration setting forth the timo of arrival, the port of entry, age upon arrival and the like. Heretofore these mntters were cer tified to by ti witness who could or rather would, swear that he knew the applicant for five years, and that ho had continuously resided in the United Stntos during that length of .time. Yesterday when Judge Archbald con vened tho ilrst session of naturalization court since tho adoption of thu new rules a number cf applicants who had not succeeded In securing the pre scribed certificate had their applica tions refused. Their attorneys Ptated to the court that they hud written to the commissioner at tho port, of New York, where they had landed, asking for the necessary certificate, but there was no response to their reque3ts. SHOULD TRY AGAIN. Judge Archbald said they should try again and suggested that Mr. Powder ly, commissioner general of Immigra tion, be communicated with if the New York otllccrs do not comply with their requests. Ho held their applications over until next Monday, when they will be given another .opportunity of es tablishing their light to the coveted boon of American citizenship. Tho applicants whose petitions were not honored are William Huser and William arn, of Jessup street, Dun more; Adam Lazor, Charles F. Knight and Giovanni Caggrano, tho latter of this city. William Holton, of Dun inorc, a native of Ireland, who came by way of Philadelphia, had the necessary certificate and was given his papers, as was alKo Frank Tonquln, of Car "bondale. In the case of John Williams, of Tay lor, who came by way of Quebec, court suspended tho rule, because t!-o United Stafcs has no record of his arrival. Miss Kiln K.

She la a na tive of Sweeden, Judge Archbald to a Tribune reporter stated yesterday afternoon .that the application of tho new rule Is dis cretionary with the court. "There has been s.o much' deception practiced," the judge said, "that tho court feels that it should not limit itself to verbal tes timony when there Is better evidence to bo had." An Instance of this deception devel oped yesterday when an order of court was made revoking the naturalization of Jacob Welsberger, of iniceburg, who had falsely statid his time of resi dence in tills countiy, that lie might become a citizen and secure a liquor license. Court graciously allowed him to withdraw his liquor license applica tion. KtingCH 813.50, 811.50, 010.50. Oil and Gas Stoves.
