MOVE FOR REFORM
OF NATURALIZATION
Secretary of State Sends Report
to Congress Showing Abuses
and Needed Remedies.
BY w. w. Jermane. .

Washington, Feb. "a number of |
months ago the secretary of state at |
the instance of the president, wrote to
the governor of each state, asking him
to make report covering the laws and
practices in effect in his state relating J
to the naturalization of aliens The
purpose, of the state department was
obviously to compile the data thus Sc
cured, and base a comprehensive discus
sion of the alien naturalization ques-
ton upon them. All the governors in
the union responded, excepting those
whereat Secretary Hay. observes that
cit is not thought those states have
any laws on the subject .
The symposium has Just gone to con-
gress,s and upon it that body is expected
to take appropriate action. Mr.. Hay
calls attention to the fact that nearly
one-half of the American citizens an
may go abroad, are naturalized citizens.
During 1908, the state department is:
sued 1915 passports, of which 46 per
cent were to naturalized citizens. The
diplomatic and consular officers of this
government during the same period is
sued 1921 passports, of which 40 per
cent were to naturalized citizens. In
plicatlons for passports made by natur-
allied citizens were examined and re-
jected.
Hays Recommendations.
After calling attention to the fragrant
violations Of the naturalization laws
in the great cities, the secretary pays
some attention to the governors, many
of whom have failed to take notice of
the 1908 amendment to the naturaliza-
tion laws, and have continued to make
out applications for passports under the
old law. These applications are null
| and void. Then follow recommended
tions as to what the naturalization law
should contain "for the protection Of
naturalized citizens going abroad,'
which may be summed up as follows:
The law should restrict naturaliza-
ton to certain courts definitely named,
and should prohibit all other courts
from entertaining naturalization pro-
ceedings.
The nature of the testimony upon
which naturalization may be conferred
should be more particularly prescribed
than it now is.
The language and form Of certificate
Of declaration of intention to become a
citizen, and of naturalization, should
be prescribed by law, and to prevent
counterfeiting it should be printed on
a particular kind of paper.
The law should require that returns
be made to the general government at
stated periods by all courts having au.
thority to naturalize.

Laws Have Not Kept Pace.

Secretary Hay says that the examina-
ton of past legislation on naturaliza-
ton shows that it has not kept pace
with changing conditions. Before the
constitution was adopted, each state
had it's own naturalization laws, and
they were not identical, but, generally
speaking, they admitted f oreigner to
citizenship after one year, and with
this legislation before it, and natural
desire to encourage immigration, the
first congress allowed naturalization of
aliens after residence of two years,
In 1895 this period was extended to
five years.
In the first congress James Madison,
its leader, contended for longer pro-
stationary period than two years and
against too liberal naturalization laws
in general, saying that what the United
States wanted was not mere numbers
of citizens, but good citizens. He OBJ
tanned the insertion in the law Of 1870
of the requirement that no one be ad-
! mltted who was not of "good charac-
ter and introduced the law of 1875,
In which this requirement was extended
SO that it was obligatory upon the ap.
plicant to bring proof that he was cat.
tached to the constitution of the United
States and well disposed to the GOOD
order and happiness of the same.''
| Good Law in 1893.
! A naturalization law approved II
| 1898. required that An alien must make
| the declaration Of iatention five year.
| before naturalization, and must prove
residence in the United States for al
least fourteen years, and in one state
for five years. This was the only Law
that ever required return of natural
cations to the general government. i
remained upon the statute books fo
four years, when-the federalist party
by which it had been enacted, havin,
been driven from power-there was :;
revulsion of feeling, the entire act wa
repealed and the law of 1902, the mail
source from which the existing systen
of naturalization springs, was passed.
1t is significant that many fraudu
lent naturalizations were secured 500,
after the passage of this 1902 law, an
the amendments to it have left it. i
the opinion of Mr.. Hay, still unsatis
factory, in many vital particulars. I
conclusion the secretary says:
The great increase in immigration sinc
this law was passed, the multiplicatio
of courts having power to naturalize, ar
the increased facilities for travel in To-
eign countries are some Of the circun
stances making it plain that a. system
naturalization applicable to the Unite
States in 1902 is not applicable to Il

Thirteen DEAD
Continued from Page One.)

This investigation will probably be
preceded by The coroper's inquest, as
soon as the last BODY is recovered.
The work under way when the build
ing collapsed was in charge of Con-
tractor John Dyer. Jr.
OF the 81 men employed hy him on
the building, every one escaped. As
nearly all Of them were in or under
the basement in the very center Of the
structure. their escape is almost mira
culous. Stories of the survivors, how
ever, show that those OH the basement
floor. where the underpinni1g OF the
building first gave wIy, received warm
ing which enabled all but one or two
of them to reach place Of safety be-
fore the four upper floors came crash
ing down.
Shortly after 10 o'clock The 18th body
was found and identified as that of
Miss Winifred Kelly.
All day yesterday. Contractor John
Dyer, Jr. refused TO see reporters and
would not talk about the accident To-
| day he made the following statement:
Il had the contract for the work that
was being done at the Myers store We
were enlarg1ng the basement / had
about thirty men at work There was
| excavation done, but none that | know
| of that would weaken the walls
| could not say off-hand what the thick
nes Of the walls were None of our
| work gave way, and 1 cannot account
! for the accident. We were shorting up
part of the walls and strengthening
them. The building is succession of
old buildings that have been remodelled
| from time to time and have been built
onto. l. T. Daggett, one of the most
| competent men in the state, was super
! vising the work for me. l am now in
| tereSted mainly IN clearing out the
wrecked building and getting the people
| out, and am not prepared to make a
| specified statement as to the calamity
| l feel sure, however, that it will be
shown later on that it was through no
| fault of mine that the accident occur
| red.
THE calamity at Myers is just what
might have been expected" said Marticus

The removal of the debris had pro-
| gressed to such an extent that at 1
| O'Clock the rescuers announced their be-
lief that no more bodies were in the
wreck. At that time l. dead bodies had
been removed from the ruins and one
woman had died after reaching the hos
