A Chine man Denied Naturalization
CHICAGO, Feb. 23th.-Judge Ma
son, in the Circuit Court this
m morning, denied the application OF
Moy Sam, Chinaman, for natur-
alization. The Judge says: AS the
necessary proof of good moral
character and residence in the
State and United States, etc., was
sufficient, the sole question was
whether o native Of China, or q
Monaghan, might be naturalized
under the laws of the United
States. The law originally stood
that any alien, being free white
person, might become q citizen,
and this was subsequently made to
apply to persons of African nativi.
ty and persons of African descent.
He cited the language of Judge
Sawyer, in a similar application to
the United States Circuit Court in
California, who denied the appli-
cation, saying: 81 am, therefore, of
the opinion that a native Of China,
or Monaghan, is not q white per-
son within the meaning of the act
Of Congress-" Judge Choate, of
New York, was cited as reaching
the same opinion. AS there was q
period when the Chinese might
have been lawfully naturalized be.
