of Illegal Naturalization

Citizens Should Be Solely
Under Federal Direction
Special Dispatch to The can.

CALL BUREAU. HOTEL BARTON,
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-Government
officials are thoroughly aroused at the
rapid increase of the immigration and
naturalization frauds and the great diff
ficulty of coping with the matter Com
missioner Sargent of the Bureau Of I'm
migration had another conference with
the President to-day.
The authorities not only have to cope
with forged naturalization papers, but
with the willingness with which the
witnesses perjure themselves TO obtain
citizenship for their friends. In the
latter respect il is felt that the laws
are faulty 1t is held that the right to
grant citizenship now allowed in the
States and permitted to any small cir
cult court anywhere in the land should
be exclusively under Federal direction.
II was stated to-day that the estima te
of one hundred thousand aliens in the
country and thirty or forty thousand
in New York who obtained citizenship
papers irregularly, is undoubtedly too
small. One official declared the total
would very likely reach from three to
five times that number. 1t is reported
that secret service agents have discov-
cred a regular line of stations for the
printing and sale OF false naturaliza-
tiOn blanks through the country. They
are mostly along the routes generally
taken by immigrants. One is said TO
have been found in Fort Wayne. Ind.

ATASCADERO, Aug. 12.-All interest
here in Camp Atascadero is now CEN
tered in the arrival of the State militia,
which is due at daybreak tomorrow
morning. 1t requires eight separate
trains of twelve cars each to transport
the several commands from their diff
ferent headquarters in the State. Ar
rangements have been made whereby
this large body of men and immense
amount of impedimenta viii be handled
without delay to the regular traffic Of
the Southern Pacific Company.
General Macarthur. on his side, has
perfected all plans to receive them at
Atascadero station. He has arranged
for sixty teams, each drawn by four
mules, to meet them there and convey
them to the camp. To expedite this ex-
traordinary movement the railroad
company has arranged every facility,
including platform chuteS for unload
ing horses and the necessary sidetracks
to hold the long trains of cars. Train
master +. A. Steininger and Travelling
Passenger Agent Floyd S. Judah, will
be at Atascadero to take charge Of the
detraining of the troops in the interests
of the Southern Pacific.
The grand divisional review of the
troops will take place on Sunday, Au-
Of and adjoining Asuncion station. 1t
was the original intention to have held
these maneuvers on the big camp field
at Atascadero, but General Macarthur
late last night decided to have them at
Asuncion. This will save the public
from a drive TO the camp. Passengers
from San Francisco can leave there at

place on the Pacific Coast then visit

CONSTANTINOPLE, Thursday
Aug. 11.-Naom Pasha, Under Secre-
tary of Foreign Affairs. called on Min
lister Leishman this morning at The
rapia. He reiterated the assurances
of the Government regarding a speedy
and favorable reply to the demands
touching the rights of American cit
liens in Turkey.
Subsequently Izzet Pasha, Secretary
of the Palace, and Minister of Mines
Selim Pasha had a long interview
with Minister Leishman TO determine
upon the text of a reply which may
prove acceptable to America.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 12.-Minister
Leishman has informed the State De-
partment of the terms of the PROPOSE
ton advanced to him yesterday by
the Turkish officials. In principle
these appeared to the State Depart
ment TO be satisfactory and in line
with what it has so persistently de-
manded. But there is, after all, a
vagueness about the Turkish state
ments and promises that has caused
the department. having in mind it's
past experience in the way of prom
ises, to instruct Leishman to see to ii
that these propositions are reduced
to such concrete form and are made
cannot be any question as to their
fulfllment hereafter by the Turkish
Government. 1t is confidently expect
ed that the Turkish negotiators will
accede to such demand on the part
of Leishman and 1t is predicted that
the negotiations will be concluded
successfully by Monday next.
