Solicitous Person Mistaking
Sports for Grave Robbers,
Notifies Police and Cock
Fight Is Nipped in the
Bud.

An attempt was made last night in
the Lutheran cemetery a. Tolleston to
restore the once famous sport in Lake
county of cock fighting. but an inquisi-
tive person. believing that an attempt
was being made to rob the graves of
the dead, informed the Gary police that
ghouls were busy in Gary's suburb.

the stuff was off
The police patrol buzzed up to the
shanty at the cemetery constructed
during the reign of the stockyards boom
for a pop factory, and instead of finding
perverts there, as they had expected,
they found several we'll known business
men assuming as innocent an air as
possible around a coal stove in the
shanty.
All would have been lovely had not
a game cock used poor discretion and
crowed at the wrong time. AS no fight
had been pulled off it was impossible
for the police to make any arrests.

weary way homeward, thinking them
selves fortunate that there hadn't been
any feathers lying promiscously about

SURPRISES
POSITION
Deputy U. S. Clerk Receives
Order as to Turks and
Assyrians Permitting Ma
turalization - Can Now
Say 1T Told You So"

Charles Surprise, deputy United
States clerk. was vindicated yesterday
in the position that he took in the re-
cent campaign when he issued natural
ization papers te Turks and Assyrians
despite the talk in some places that
this was in conflict with the law.
Mr.. Surprise yesterday received no
tice from Richard K Campbell, chief
of the division of naturalization, de-
partment of commerce and labor. at
Washington, instructing him that on
the order of Secretary Nagel he is not
to refuse to accept declarations Of in
tentions and petitions for naturaliza-
tion by reason of any meaning hither-
to given by the division of naturaliza-
tion to the words, White persons and
persons of African nativity or descent"
This order followed the ruling of a
judge in the south last week that
Assyrians are white people and entitled
to become naturalized citizens. The
order is of significant interest in Lake
county, for the original order of the
department six months ago that Assyr-
ians and Turks were regarded by the
bureau as being Asiatics and therefore
not entitled 10 citizenship was brought
about through conditions found here
by a federal examiner, who was sum
moned to Laporte to pass on Charles
Said Abraham. an Assyrian, who was
an applicant for his second papers.
1t was the first AssyTian who had
asked for second papers in the United
States since the department began
sending out special examiners. and it
resulted in an order which caused sur
prise because it prevented the Turks
and Assyrians from becoming full
fedged citizens.
Yesterdays order, however, nulliies
that ruling, so that clerks may accept
the declarations Of intention and ther
when the applicant comes into court
for his second papers and is questioned
by the federal examiner it puts it tC
the court to decide whether the law
as held by the department, shall be
so construed as to class Assyrians anC
Turks with the Asiatics who are pro
hibited from becoming citizens
Charles Said Abraham who was de
MED citizenship, intends to carry tn,
case to the Indiana supreme court ant
then to the United States suprem'
court If on the final hearing here in th'
circuit court second papers are refused
