MUST BEGIN over.
Government Holds Thomas Hansen's
Naturalization Is Illegal.

Thomas Hansen of RawliIls county
Subject to the King of Sweden" will
have to surrender his citizenship
papers and begin all over again. Mil
ton M. Dearing, special United States
attorney for Kansas, says so. Mr..
Dearing whose headquarters are in
st. Louis, makes a speciality of look
ing after the law cases that arise un-
der the new naturalization law which
was passed by congress not quite two
years ago.
The above case which has to do
with Hansen is the first one to be
filed by the government in Topeka in
the United States circuit court,
though one prior to this and similar
was filed at Fort Scott. Kan, in the
federal court The facts as repre-
sented in the case filed today are
these:
On the 11th of November of last
year Hansen appeared in the district
court at Atwood, Rawlins county and
applied for his naturalization papers.
The court entered a Judgment which
admitted him to citizenship and a GER
tificate of citizenship was made out
and given to Hansen. The govern
ment says that the judgment was
Illegally procured. The reason for
this contention is that Hansen filed
his petition with the court on August
5 Of 1907. in which he stated that he
Wf1S ooIh III IofV, willie MS ITSC
declaration of his intention to become
a citizen was in 1889 when he was
10 years old. The claim is made that
he acted against the naturalization
laws then in effect because he made
his declaration at the age Of 19 and
before the 21 years, the age specified
in that act. His right to appear as a
citizen is still further attacked on the
ground that Hansen taIIed to file with
his petition last August his declara-
ton of an intention to become citi-
zen of the United States. Hansen is
asked to be made to appear in court

OLD V0LAN0 AWAKES.
After Sleeping So Long That Its Name
Was Forgotten.

San Francisco, March 3O.-The
steamer Panama this morning brought
news of a volcano in Guatemala, so
long extinct it's name has been foroot-
ten, having recently broken out. Its
long sleep terminated three weeks ago
with such certifying mutterings and
spOuting of lava and smoke, that the
people living at San Fillipe, at the base
of the mountain, are fleeing for their
lives.
Opposite the new volcano is Santa
Maria, a volcano which during the last
two hundred years has wiped out town
after town.
The inhabitants of the district fear
repetition of the Santa Maria catas-
trophe and therefore are deserting the
mountain side. Already the country
for miles is covered some inches deep
with dust and ashes from the active
mountains.

SHE OPENS HER EYES.
But Woman Who Has Slept So Days
Continues in Slumber.

Los Angeles, March 81. - Mrs.
Beulah Hawkins, who has puzzled the
medical and psychological professors
by her long, unbroken sleep at the
county hospital, will today begin the
f1fty-eighth day of her mysterious
slumber. She opened her eyes today
for a few moments, but saw nothing,
and as she has done frequently, the
doctors who are watching the case,
say it cannot be taken as sign of
awakening
Unless her sleep is soon broken, the
physicians declare, Mrs. Hawkins will
never survive the effects of it, grant
ing that she does not die while sleep
ing Every effort known to science
has been resorted to to awaken her,
but everything so far has been futile,
and doctors are of the opinion she
will die sleeping.
