minatiOn of His Citizenship.

a Filipino boy, was placed in the state
asylum for the insane today. He was

kept at Fort Leavenworth for a time.
The question has arisen that a Filipino
must be naturalized before he can be
placed in an asylum in this country. The
board has passed over the case and rather
than wait longer for federal information,
committed the boy.
Kansas state laws provides that no alien
can gain residence until he has declared
his intention TO become a naturalized citi-
zen. This was not done by Sonegas guar
dian Information from the superintendent
