gers aboard the California, reside at
SAB Brook Avenue, The Bronx. Mrs.
Little. who is thirty-two years old, is
the wife Of Andrew Little, an automo,

though he has lived in this country for
eight years, he never has taken out citl-

pers and has filed a homestead clam

her parents in Scotland for two weeks

inclined to the belief that she cannot
be classed as an American citizen, as
under the naturalization laws the
granting of first papers merely shows
that the applicant has signifod his IN
tention Of becoming citizen ana that
does not entitle him to the privileges
or imuunities of citizenship.
