WASHINGTON, Aug. An interesting
question has been presented to the Treas
ury Department in regard to the steam
ships City of New York and City of Paris,
the owners of which are preparing to
have them documented as American
vessels in accordance With the provisions
OF the special Act of Congress granting
them that privilege under certain con-
ditions.
The steamship company is anxious to
retain the present complement of officers
of those vessels, most of whom, however,
are Of foreign nationality, and in order
to bring them within the law requiring
vessels of the United States to be Off
cered exclusively by citizens of the
United States the company took steps
to secure their speedy naturalization.
This, however, was a very slow process.
The officers in question have already
taken out their first papers, but have to
serve out the full probationary period
before they become full-fedged citizens.
Leaving out of the question their imam
cial ability to remain idle during that
period, the company Itself is unwilling to
sacrifice them for untried men Of Ameri-
can clIlzenShlp. Accordingly, aS test
case, they have made application to the
Treasury Department for the retention of
Captain Watkins as master of the City Of
Paris during his probational period Of
naturalization.
The Commissioner OF Navigation, to
whom the matter was referred, had re-
piled that the law is obligatory to the citi-
zenship of masters of the United States,
and that such citizenship in the case of an
alien is not established until he shall have
fulfilled all the requirements of the
naturalization laws. Unless his decision
is reversed, the steamship company will
have to secure new set of officers for the
two steamships, or else delay the docu-
menting of the vessels under the United
States law until the present officers can
legally serve
