NATURALIZATION
LAW is A FARCE
SO SAYS CONGRESSMAN HEPBURN
OF IOWA IN THE HOUSE WHEN
THE SO-CALLED NATURALlZA-
TON BILL WAS CALLED UP.

Washington, May 17.--After the passage
of the naval appropriation bill today, the
House went into the committee Of the
whole to consider the so-ealled naturaliza-
ton bill, which has been a continuing or
der for two months
Naturalization Is a farce in this coun-
try" said Mr.. Hepburn of Iowa. In fifty
years he said he had known but one re-
suit on the part of a judge to naturalize
an alien. ut is notorious fact" re-
marked Mr.. Hepburn, that courts admit
men as. matter of course. The naturali-
cation law is looked upon as joke
Mr.. Hepburn was of the opinion that
frauds in the issuance of naturalization
papers were perpetrated in the state
courts and not in federal courts.
During the discussion 1t was stated that
a state court Judge in New York had
| naturalized 300 aliens in one day, and
| that Judge p c. Elliott OF Lafayette. Ind,
had been impeached for naturalization
fra ds.
Mr. Williams of Mississippi called the
attention of the House to the section
making Judges justices, clerks and Of
fcers and agents Of state courts when
acting in naturalization matters, officers
and agents of the United States. He in
sisted that the constitutions of some of the
states, particularly Virginia. prohibited
Judge, clerk or officer of the state from
taking any emolument whatever from the
feoeral government, and the acceptance
Of the emolument vacated the office Much
OF the day was taken up in discussion of
this feature Of the bill. The amendment
