ALIENS MADE CITIZENS
ON DAY Of ARRIVAL
Naturalization Frauds in
New York and Elsewhere.
COMPANIES BRISK BUSINESS
One Concern Had Printing Office in
Hobcken and Turned Cut Certi-
fcates by Thousands.

Chief WiIkie, OF the United States
Secret Service. said this morning that
officers who are Investigating the natur-
alization frauds in New York expect to
find that at least 5000 immigrants have
been provided with bogus naturalization
papers by the company which has been
unearthed in that city.
Officers are also continuing their in
vestigatious in Pittsbu7g, Wilmington,
st. Louis. and Buffalo. where a whole
sale business has also been carried on
by companies which provided immi-
grants with evidences Of citizenship on
the very day of their arrival in this
country. The companies in the cities
mentioned are not known to be under
the same management, but their meth
DDS have been almost identical, and the
immigrants they have furnished with
the papers have been chiefly Italians
"Of course, there VIII not be 5000
prosecutions in New York said Chief
Wilkie. The bogus naturalization
papers of the victims of the company
VIII be destroyed and the men who have
directed the enterprise will be punished.
Many of the Italians did not know the
nature of the papers. They came here
with the understanding that papers
which would provide them with jobs
would be furnished for consideration
They paid their money and were given
the certificate. In some cases the men
paid as much as $50 for the forged
documents
In New York the patrons of the natu-
ralization company have found positions
on the street cleaning and sewer clean
ing gangs. Work could not be fur
nished by cities to men who were not
American citizens. This made it necas-
sary for the immigrants to take the
short cut TO citizenship and brought into
existence the fourishing New York COM
pany which had printing Office in Ho-
boken. where certificates of naturaliza-
tion were made to order.

Heavy Fighting Reported
Thursday Near Monastir.
c0NSTANTlNOPLE AROUSED
Thought That Revolutionists May At
tempt to Repeat Salouica Out
RACES in That City.

CONSTANTIN0PLE, May 22-(Delayed
in ransmissionl. nl.-Consular reports
from Monastir, Macedonia, assert that
fighting occurred all day yesterday six
miles north of Monastir. No details are
obtaina5le
A letter from ConstantinopIe. dated
May Z, says:
Everyone here has the Bulgarans on
the brain. Since an attempt to blow up
the Ottoman bank two days ago. the po-
lice having discovered the tunnel for
the mine just in time, it has become
known that the revoiutionists intend to
repeat here their SaIonica program.
The chief danger lies not in the out
RACES themselves. but in the effect they
will have on the Turk.
A Gloomy Precedent.
The Armenian massacres in 1896. start
ed IN just the same way. There was an
attempt on this same bank. Later tic
Turks retaiiated with the greatest mas
sacre Of modern times. In COnstantinopIe
alcne 5000 were killed, while the setai
! for the Ottoman empire reached 210, ,00g.
In the principal street of the for eiSn
| quarter, from the Pera Palace Hotel,
where most OF the American tourists
stay, to the Ottoman bank, about a
quarter of a mile, there we're sec corpses.
The massacres began on the night Of
August q and ended on the morning of
August %. IN this summary fashion
The Turk settled the Armenian question
for a generation.
Today there are 10000 Bulgarians and
Macedonians in ConstantinopIe. and the
Turks are itching to get at them. Up
to this time, however, the Sultan is
against any retaliation. and unless he
/ gives the word nothing viii happen. The
Armenian massacres were unquestion-
ably inspired from YiIdiz Kiosk.
Leaders Are Desperate
| The Bulgarian leaders who are back
of the Macedonian movement are so des-
perate they would willingly sacrifice
many of their own people if they could
] thereby make the situation so intoler-
able as to force Intervention on the part
of the powers Meanwhile everybody IS
talking about what happened seven
years ago, and wondering if a repetition
| is in order.

Possible Successor.

With the possibility. however re-
mote of Mr. Moodys withdrawal from
the Cabinet. and the creation OF va
cancy at the head of the Navy Depart
5nent. there must necessarily be cen
tjnued gossip attaching TO the successor
strip. A name which one hears in this
connection is that of Representative
Dayton, OF West Virginia. the most in
dustrious and best informed of the
members of the House Naval Commit
tee who would make an admirable Sec
rotary of the Navy. Another name is
that of Senator Perkins of California

This meeting will be for persons OF
all faiths Mr. Wolf said this morning.
ut is not to be meeting OF Jews alone,
but of all persons who disapp-ove OF
the merciless slaughter of helpless wom-
en- and children. 1t will be similar TO
the Indignation meetings Which have
been held in most Of the large cities of
the United States.
"A review of the Russian laws affect-
ing the Jews will be given ar the meeting
and the massacrQwill be fully discuss
ed Late reports from Russia show that
the massacre was worse than at first re
ported. The capital of the nation could
not ALLOW such terrible slaughter oi
innocents to go by without uttering 4
protest"

Anxious to Quit Office.

1T is very we'll known by Mr.. Moodys
friends that he did not intend to go
back 10 Congress, and that he would be
quite as well satisfied to be relieved o.
the exactions of any sort OF official life.
unless possibly he were appointed TO
something permanent, such as a place
on the Supreme Court bench. Although
it was not commonly known. Mr. Moody
could have gene on that bench instead OF
tiffs new associate justice, Oliver Wen
deli Holmes
at was a question with the President
whether Mr.. Moody would be called 10
the Cabinet or appointed to the Supreme
Court vacancy IS soon as one existed.
Mr. Moody believes that his law busi-
ness is suffering by his absence from
Massac chusetts.''
