ALIENS OF DISTRICT
TOBE NATURAL|zED
Government Agent Defines
Undesirable Aliens-Night
School Aiding Drive

A campaign has been launched in the
Birmingham district to aid aliens in be-
coming American citizens and to show
them the steps by which this may be ac-
complished. j. Z. jackson of the natural
ization bureau with headquarters in New
Orleans, arrived in this city yesterday
and will direct the campaign. He will
remain in Birmingham for two weeks
during which time it is expected he VIII
handle the first papers of approximately
1900 aliens in this district.
Mr.. jackson and Mai. Charles j. ALT
son, clerk of the United States district
court who. with his office force, is CO.
operating with Mr.. Jackson in this cam
paign, went to Ensley yesterday after
noon for the purpose of studying condi-
lions among the immigrants there Plans
are being made for big mass meeting
to be held at the Wesley home in Ems
ley Friday night at which addresses on
citizenship will be made by Mr.. jack
son, DIR. c. B. Glenn, assistant superin-
tendent of the Birmingham public schools.
who is also assisting in the night schools,
Maj. Charles J. Allison and others Mu-
sic will be furnished by the T. c. /. bans.
Preliminary hearings of applicants for
final papers of citizenship will be held
next week by Mr.. jackson while on
March 81, a general hearing will be held.
Mr.. Jackson is of the opinion that Con-
gress will pass legislation bearing upon
the deportation and restriction OF the inn
migration of undesira ole aliens at the
next session. He states the term undesir
able does not mean merely the boshe
visit or anarchist but applies to the for
eign-born person who comes to Amer
lea in search of the golden fleece and
to send their money back to their native
land and plan to return themselves as
soon as they have made a sufficient sum
of money here.
Immigrants coming to this country for
the purpose of making money only and
have no intention of contributing any
thing to the government are undesirable,
he states, and it is expected that some ac-
ton along this line will be taken by the
next Congress
Splendid progress has been made in the
six night schools which are operated in
various sections of the city under the
supervision of DIR. J. II. Phillips, super
intendent of schools, and DIR. c. &. Glenn.
assistant superintendent, for the purpose
of preparing the adult aliens for citi-
zenship. There is no tuition and text
books are furnished free by the govern
uent and when the course prescribed is
completed diplomas are presented Per
sons receiving diplomas may secure their
final papers without examination ana
upon proof that he holds diploma from
the night school.
