W M. Doyas, official interpreter of Polish and Bohemian languages at the United States immigration office at Baltimore, says the proper pronunciation of the name Czolgosz, is “Choalgosh.” “The word is derived from a Polish verb,” said Mr. Doyas, “which means to drag or creep or crawl. Used as a noun, it means a creeping, crawling thing, such as a snake. In the present instance the name seems most appropriate.”
