HE DOESN'T KNOW ENOUGH.
An Ignorant Austrian Refused Naturali
cation Papers I'm Reading.

John Geigel,a native Of Austria, Tudsday
made application for naturalization papers in
court before Judge Enlich at Reading. Pa he
having been in this country eight years. Be-
fore proceeding the judge questioned the ap-
plicant in his own language as to the character
OF this government-whether it was monarchy
Or free, whether a king, queen or president
was at the head Of affairs. The Austrian could
not answer these questions, and did not know
who was governor Of Pennsylvania. who WAS
President of the United States, nor even who
was mayor of Reading.
Judge Enlich said he could not grant natu-
raiization papers to person who did not know
the form of government he wanted to swear al
legiance to, and the application papers were
subsequently torn up by the attorney who had
presented them. The judge remarked that
after the applicant had learned something
about the United States and how national,
state and municipal affairs were administered,
naturalization papers would be granted.
