A Decision Affecting Onicers OF Liners
to Be Documented - American.
WASHINGTON CRY, Aug. Am inter-
esting question has been presented to the
treasury department with regard to the
steamships 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 provision Of
special act OF congress granting them
that privilege under certain conditions.
The steamship company is anxious to re-
tain 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 ves-
sells of the United States to be differed ex-
clusively by citizens of the United States,
the companies took steps to secure their
speedy naturalization. This, however, 10
a very slow process. The officers in ques-
ton have already taken out their FIRST
papers, but will have to serve out the full
probationary period before they become
full-hedged citizens. Leaving out the
question Of financial ability to remain idle
during that period, the company itself is
unwilling to sacrifice them for untried
men Of American citizenship. Accord
ingly, as a test case, application has
been made to the treasury department. for
the retention of Captain Watkins as
master of the City of Paris during his pro-
stationary period Of naturalization.
The commissioner of navigation, to
whom the matter was referred, has re-
piled that the law Is obligatory as to the
citizenship of masters Of United States
vessels. 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 the de-
cision 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 laws until the present officers can
legally serve
