TO GUARD FRANCHISE
PROPOSED REFORM IN NATUR-
ALIzATIoN METHODS.

The report of the naturalization commits
sion, composed of Milton D. Purdy. chair
man, assistant to the Attorney General;
GaIllard Hunt. chief of the passport bu-
reau of the State Department, and Richard
X. Campbell, law officer of the bureau OK
immigration, Department of Commerce
and Labor, to which reference was made in
the Presidents message. makes Important
recommendations for improving the condi-
lions now surrounding naturalization. The
commission declares that the general prln-
cipIes of the naturalization law are cor
rect, but recommends that two principles
be added to it, namely that no one be adj
mitted to citizenship who does not intend
to live permanently In the United States,
and that no one be admitted who does NOS
know the English language.
Preceding the Elections.
In order to prevent naturalizations for
political purposes, 1t Is recommended that
a uniform fee of at least 81 be prescribed
by law, and that no naturalizations be per-
mitted for at least thirty days next preced-
ing presidential or congressional cleo
ton. It is also recommended that the
declaration of intention, which can now be
made before any clerk Of court at least
two years before naturalization. be entirely
abolished, in It's place to be substituted q
petition for naturalization before the clerk
Of the same court in which the naturali-
cation is to take place at least three
months before the naturalization proceed
ings are heard, and that duplicate OF that
petition be sent to the bureau Of naturali-
cation, which the commission recommends
shall be established in Washington.
Practices Of the Courts.
In considering the action of the courts
under existing conditions the commission
gives evidence to prove that many have
been corrupt and many more negligent in
comforting citizenships, and that that con-
dition has prevailed ever since the natural-
ization laws went into effect. As a preven-
tive It is recommended that in those cities
where federal courts sit almost continuously
for citizenship, and that In smaller places
only one specified state court shall have 5ur-
isdiction. The bureau of naturalization
which 1t is recommended shall be estab-
lished in the Department of Commerce and
Labor is to have full jurisdiction OF the en-
forcement of the act, and a part OF the nat
uraIization fees Is to be turned into the
treasury, thus producing revenue far In
excess of the cost Of the federal machinery
recommended.
The report gives the naturalization laws
in force in the various states when the Con-
stitution was adopted. statutory history Of
the federal laws on naturalization adopted
since the Constitution went into effect and
the existing laws of the several states on
the subject Of naturalization.
Separate reports by q majority and the
on the subject of the registration of old cer-
tificates of naturalization and on the ques--
ton of the naturalization of minor children
by the naturalization of their parents.

nurse at the sanitarium of DR.. Lewis H.

Messrs. William A. hammers, the brother

the institution, Jacob r. Reneker and Sam

the viaduct bridge at Relay station.
An autopsy will be performed. This even
ing an inquest will be held at the station
house at Relay by Coroner Clark. While
It is generally believed that the nurse ended
her own life after her mind had become af-
fected, the jury summoned by the coroner
wanted to know the exact cause of death,
and asked for the post-mortem examina-
ton. The coroner said he accepted the sui

rumors.

TAKOMA PARK AFFAIRS
CITIZENS ASSOCIATION DIS
cUssEs NEEDS OF SECTION.

The regular meeting Of the Takoma PARK
Citizens Association was held last night at
8 o'clock In Takoma Hall, Takoma Park
D. C. Col G. C. Kniffin, president-elect'
occupied the chair. Mr.. w. G. Plat, VINO
was elected secretary of the association at
the last meeting declined to serve on &C
count of the pressure Of business and MT.
lanes A. Martin was unanimously elected
to fill the vacancy.
President Kniffin, in the course of few
brief remarks, announced that one OF the
most important matters which would re-
ceiye the attention of the association the
coming year would be that of securing
through car service to the city. The mat
ter IL a very important one, he said, and
at the next meeting the various standing
committees would be announced In order
that the association could get down to busi-
ness without delay.
Mr.. C. NJ Heaton reported to the associa-
ton the measures which had been taken to
provide ample FIRE protection, stating the
location of the hose, and his efforts to
secure additional hose from the District.
He spoke Of the pressure of the fire n.y.
drants with the hose attached, and con-
cluded by complimenting the chemical en-
CINE company at Brightwood for the eff
ficient service 1t had rendered in saving
several Takoma homes.
The Gas Supply.
The gas service throughout the park came
In for its share Of discussion during the
evening. Dr. c. O. Townsend, vice presi-
dent Of the association, stated to the meet
ing that he had been informed 1t was the
opinion Of an official of the Washington

sible to construct a detached tank at Ia

In the opinion Of Mr.. Heaton, 1t did not
look as though the company Intended ni,a TO Q
the service. He said that in converse
ton with one of the officers of the general
conference committee, Seventh Day Ad-
ventists. while the buildings on Car.
was informed. that It was intended
to use gas as a fuel. Notwithstanding the
fact that the buildings are but few feet
on the Maryland side. the gas company
would not agree to furnish gas for either
Illuminating or heating purposes.
Mr. John Poier, an inventor of acetylene
gas plants, was present at the meeting and
made an address on the subject OF lighting
by this method. Following his remarks
Mr. Heaton called attention to the fact that
the buildings OF the Seventh Day Advent
lists on the Sligo were illuminated by acct
ylene gas that had proved satisfactory In
every way. He suggested that the matter
be given serious consideration and an IN
vestigation be made OF the buildings now
using acetylene gas.
