WHEN IS A Man NOT n
AMERICAN CITIZEN?.
UNIQUE QUESTION is BROUGHT
TO ATTENTION OF ATToR-
NEY GENERAL

Santa Fe, April 14.-The state de-
partment OF education today passed a
knotty legal question to Attorney
General Frank w. Clancy. j. E..
Owens, Jr., was elected member of
the board Of education at ChaIna, Rio
Arriba county, last week. Now it
transpires that Owens was born
abroad, that his father took out his
first citizenship papers wnen the boy
was Is years old; made two unsuc-
cessful efforts to secure his second
papers before the boy became of age
but did not succeed in completing his
naturalization until the young man
had become Of age. Under the fed
eral statute foreign born children un-
der 21 years of age become citizens
of the United States upon reaching
majority if their father has been nat
uralized. The question has been rails
ed whether Owens is q citizen even
though he has voted at other elections
and perhaps held other office. # he
is not a citizen he cannot serve as
school director. AttorneE General
Frank w. Clancy has taken the legal
problem under advisement until he
can look up authorities, In one case,
that of a governor Of Nebraska, where
there was no record Of the fathers
naturalization, the United States SUI
preme court has held that the son
who had repeatedly and regularly
voted and had held public office at
frequent intervals, was presumDtiveiy
4 citizen Of the United states.

SOUTH CANON BRIDGE

With but a few more hours work
necessary to make solid the new steel
bridge spanning Grand river at South
canon, heavy drift came down the river
early last Saturday morning and
knocked the false work from under

whole to tumble into the river. One
of the workmen was slightly injured
The Missouri River Bridge company
has the contract for the structure and
is, SO we are informed. perfectly re-
sponsible financially and will com,
plete the contract with no financial
loss to this county. However. the pres
ent high water makes it almost iiu-
possible to continue with the work At
the present time. It Is said work can
not be resumed before fall.
Since the eonnissionefS have ordered
the abandoament Of the ferry and
have discharged the ferryaaa, eo.sid-
erable trouble was experieseed In
reaching South Canon. However, this
will be arranged by the eoanissioners
and traffic can resume as before.
