ELIGIBLE AS
CITIZENS
Justice HoehIing overruIes
Naturalization Bureau In
Javler Case

Overriding the decision Of the Bu-
reau OF Naturalization opposing the
granting Of final citizenship papers
to Ambrosio Javier. a native OF the
Philippine islands, Justice Hoehling
of the District Supreme Court today
held that natives Of the Philippines
are eligible to become American citi-
zens irrespective Of whether or not
they have been in the military or
naval service Of the United States.
Javier filed his. declaration OF inten.
ton November 80, 1921, and had
never been in the military or naval
service Of this country.
The court admits there II no
specific legislation by Congress
relating to the naturalization Of
native born Filipinos not having
served either in the military or
naval service, but finds that Iavier
is entitled to admission under sec.
ton 80 Of the Act Of June 20. 1905,
establishing bureau Of inImigra.
ton and naturalization.
The Bureau OF Naturalization OPP
posed citizenship solely on the
ground that q Filipino, unless en-.
titled by virtue OF military or naval
service Of the required duration, Is
not eligible for naturalization under
the provisions Of any act of Con.
gress. The bureau claimed that the
Filipinos do not owe permanent al.
legiance TO the United States, and
that It has always been the pur,
pose Of the people OF the United
States to withdraw their sovereignty
over the Philippine Islands and "a
recognize their Independence as soon
as a stable government can Be g.
tablished there"

Every girl in America has her ia
Vorlte motion picture actress. Most
of these actresses make up altogether
too heavily for real life, and so their
foolish admirers make up too heavily
also, with red lips that show their
artificiality as far as they can be seen
and maSk-lfke faces. Moving picture
people have to put on heavy makeup
on account of the camera and the
studio lights. While they are acting
they have to touch up their faces and
smooth out the makeup every few

RACE RIOTS ENDED
 IN HARR0DSBURG
Six in Jail; National Guard
 Is on Hand

Harrodsburg, Ky, Nov. 1i.-With six men in jail here charged with rioting and a detachment Of Ken lucky national guards on duty at the Dix river dam, hydro-electric pro- ject under construction near here, quiet had been restored today at the scene of clashes early Monday be- tween white workers and farmers and negro laborers.
 The clashes resulted from the fa- tai shooting of Edward Wrinkle, white worker at the dam, in an at- tempted holdup. A general exodus of negroes in the camp followed an attack by the white workers and farmers from the vicinity. When county officials reported they were unable to handle the situation, Gov ernor w. J. Fields dispatched guardsmen from Frankfort. Indica- tions were that the majority of the negroes, assured of protection had returned, or were returning to work.
 A large body of negroes, many scantily clad, fled to Burgin. where they spent Sunday night in rock quarry huddled about. camp fires. Others were found wandering aim lessly m fields in the vicinity of the dam. Officials of the construction company and George Geddes, head of Lexington Employment agency. asserted reports which gained cir culation among the negroes that some Of their fellow workers had been killed and buried at the dam were unfounded.
 Tn dying statement. Wrinkle de- clared he was shot by a negro known as "Jelly Roll" Two negroes. known as Little Jelly Roll" and Big Jelly Roll" were arrested and taken to Danville for ssfekeeping. The re- iterated their innocence and asserted the Jelly Roll'' wanted was Palmer Hedges. of Ashland. Ky.
