PAUL JONES Is JEALOUS
He Does Not Think That the Wichita Mar
Can Globe Trot-

Can Glcle Trot
The Arkansas City Traveller of yes
terday has the following interview with
Paul Jones about George Mold's globe
trotting aspirations:
"Paul Jones leaves tomorrow for FIT.
Worth, Tex. MIR. Jonest is inclined TO
think that George Mold, the Wichita
man, who is 10 make a tour OF the world
in four years. wearing a clowns cos
tune and speaking only to and through
a ventrMoqual figure, has bitten of a
trif1e more than he can comfortably
ma sticate. The great trouble in Mr..
Molds case, so Mr.. Jones thinks. viii
be in combining his speech to this figure
and IL keeping up his enthusiasm for
such a length Of time as four years.
Mr.. Jones said; zone trouble VIII be
about talking. In my trip I was free
to talk, and it takes lots Of wind 10 run
a project Of that kind successfully.
Another thing is keeping up er.thusi
asm. This can be done for a year-for
eighteen months, perhaps. but after
that il is like plowSng corc. II is worse
than plowing corn, for IL becomes al
most unbearably dishastefu- j think
Mr. Mold win have trouble in keeping
his enthusiasm in the trip keyed UP TO
the high pitch necessary for Success, for
such a length CT time" Mr.. Jones can
speak WfUh fueEcy Doth frenc ana
German, and had TO trobule on the
score Of misunderstanding of language.
He followed the beaten path OF travel
through Asia, skirting the coasts and
crossing India in The line Of English
occupation. He said than person
with a knowledge of English alone
would have 70 trouble in making a tour
of the world. as in every place the En-
gliSh tongue is spoken to a greater or
less extent, and II bids fair TO become
the universal language Of the world.
MIR. Jones earnings in foreign countries
amounted 10 $500 and he thinks that he
could have made more had he spent
more time. He does ont care to re-

han Of the United States navy, ard ].
Peirpont Morgan, arrived at the club.
Lord Dunraven reached the rooms
few minutes after 10 O'Clock. Chair
man Morgan called the special com
mittee to order. They sat about a
table il the clubs model room. At Mr..
Morgan's right and left sat Messrs
Phelps, Whitney, Rives and Captain

NATURALIZATION is of the United States
Alone.

San Francisco, Dec. 21.-Judge Nor
row rendered an important opinion IN
the United States district court today
on the writ of habeas corpus asked
for by Gee Hop, a Chinese who arrived
from Pekin three months ago and was
refused permission to land, although he
had papers showing that he had been
naturalzed by a New Jersey court.
Commissioner Peacock, who took evil
dence in rhe case, recommended that
Gee Hop be renranded ''for the reason
that there was no law comforting the
right Of naturalization upon Mongo-
Hans or natives of China 50 that the
judgment of the court Of common pleas
Of New Jersey nautralizing Gee Hop
was absolutely null and void for want
of Jurisdiction and that, therefore, Gee
Hop was and is not a citizen of the
United tSates, as claimed by him, and
cannot be permitted to land in this
country
In this conclusion" Judge Morrow
said, II heartily agree. The matter of
naturaliza ton is exclusively in the con-
troll Of rhe government of the United
States and not of the states"

''The smallest quantity which was allo wed
