OF the attendant physicians that the
immediate danger was over. Her con-

abandoning his plan OF returning d.

that his daughter, Miss Helen Taft,
be notified OF her mothers illness, and
she preceded him to this city.
The presence of her husband and
daughter had a soothing effect on Mrs.

PILE OF sCANTL|NG
Nathan Mulvaney, 20 Years Old,
Killed in Accident at Peoples Out
fitting Co.'s Warehouse.

Nathan Mulraney, 20 years old, was
instantly killed, Monday morning, by
the collapse of pile of scantlings at
the new warehouse of the Peoples
Quitting Co., No. 153 State-st.
The aged man was standing on the
ground operating a block and tackle
by which the heavy scantlings were
being raised. A pile of them was
hoisted as nigh as the fourth floor,
when they suddenly came down, bury

and that this caused the heavy load
to fall. Coroner Rothacher is inves-
tigating.
Mulvaney was widower and liy.

Former Loose Methods of Naturaliza-
tion Officials Largely Responsible
For Situation.

why, certainly, know I'm an
American citizen; my father voted
for years and years out In Tuscola
county"
II the officials in the naturalization
bureau hear this assertion once they
hear II 500 times In year, and about
one-third OF the times they find that
man who has been exercising the
rights of a citizen under the supposl-
tion that his father has been natural
lied, is really not entitled to vote.
The discovery is usually made when
one man goes as witness for another
who wishes to be naturalized. Natur-
ally men Of like nationality are
anxious to do this service, the appli-
cant either not having known people
of American birth long enough, or
else preferring to call upon a com
patriot In the so days after the final
application Is made, the record of
these witnesses is thoroughly looked
up, and they are called to the federal
building and closely quizzed. Hun
dreds of cases have occurred In which
the witness was found not to be 4
citizen, having depended upon the
word OF his father that he was an
American citizen.
The misunderstanding arises out OF
the loose methods that formerly pre-
vailed In the naturalization of citizens.
Immigrants up to some time In the
sos were In the habit OF taking out
first papers after three years resi-
dence, and then calling themselves
citizens after two years more without
court formalities. Children under 1S
have always been allowed to become
citizens with their fathers, and they
have grown up and voted and never
learned the difference till luckless
Impulse Of accommodation has led
them to act as witnesses for friends.
The confusion was made worse about
1894 when an act of congress passed.
legalizing the voting of all aliens who
had taken out first papers and had
voted previous to 1892. A government
Official said last week that he had no
doubt that 1000 men In Wayne
county were voting, who II they ever
were put to the test, would find they
were not citizens.
