Judge David McAdam, OF the Superior
Court. has come out heartily in favor of
the suggestion made by Judge Giegerich,
of the Court of Common Pleas, that "A
convention of Judges be held in this city
to devise means of preventing he frauds
against citizenship exposed by The
Evening World"
Judge McAdam has made a great num-
Der of citizens since his elevation to the
Bench, and from his practical experience
in this work should be able to make
many valuable suggestions to the Con-
vention.
1t has not been definitely decided when
the call for the Convention will be Is
sued. but it is probable that n prelimina-
ry meeting will be held this afternoon
or evening in Judge Giegcrich's ham
bers to arrange the details of the call
Judge Geigerich has already plunged
into the subject and Is enthusiastic Tor
reform. He mas prepared a number OF
suggestions. covering the whole natu-
ralizatlon field. Not only will they be
valuable to the Judges when they meet

gresham Oates to effect changes In his
Naturalization bill now before Congress.

Standardization should come entirely
under the jurisdiction of the united
States courts. At present the fees In
those courts are much higher tnan in the
state courts and the proceedings as a rule
are more rigid. This is one of the rea-
sons why so few persons go before the
United States courts for naturalization.
The laws should be amended so that the
fees will be the same in each court ana
there should be a standard set by Con
sress to which every candidate for
Naturalization should be required TO con
