An altar cloth on the main altar,
made of purest linen, was ruined by
the vandals when burned by a cigar
or cigarette stub and later drenched
with water. Total damage could not
be estimated, because the amount in
the poor boxes is not known, but the
intrinsic loss is placed at less than

Mgr. ]. F. Mackin, pastor of the
church, personally conducted the
detectives around the scenes of van

to lock the church at 6:10 every

RULES F|L|P|NOS
CAN Be CITIZENS
Army or Navy Service Not
Required, Justice HoehIing
Declares.

Natives of the Philippine Islands
are eligible to become American citi-
zens even if they have not been in
the military or naval service of the
United States. Justice Adolph A
Hoehling of the District Supreme
Court so decided today, when he
overruled the opposition of the bu-
reau of naturalization to the grant
ing of final papers to Ambrosio Javier,
who was born in the Philippine Is
lands March "a, 1856, and made his
declaration of intention November so,
1921. Javier had never been in the
military or naval service.
The opposition was based solely on
the ground that a Filipino, unless
entitled by virtue of military or naval
service, is not eligible for naturaliza-
ton under the provisions of any ap-
plicable law of the United States. The
bureau claimed that the Filipinos do
not owe permanent allegiance to the
United States and quoted the pream-
BILE of the Autonomy act of August
%, 1916, in which appears the state
ment that it always has been the
purpose of the people of the United
States to withdraw their sovereignty
over the Philippine Islands and to
recognize their independence as soon
as a stable government can be es-
Ia bliShed there"
Court Finds in Favor.
Justice Hoehling admits there is no
specific legislation by Congress as to
the naturalization of native born
F'ilipinos not having military or
naval service, but drawing an ana
in providing for the naturalization of
the Porto Ricans and the debates ac-
companying the passage of that act
the court reaches the conclusion that
Congress had in mind relief for the
native-born Filipino who might come
here and take up his permanent resi-
dence. In the absence of any declara-
tion by Congress the court finds
Javier is entitled to admission under
section 80 of the act of June 90, 1906
esta blishing a Bureau of immigration
and Naturalization.
Reduced to it's last analysis" says
Justice Hoehling. "the contention OF
the Bureau of Naturalizat ton comes
to this, that a native-born Filipino
does not owe permanent allegiance to
the United States; therefore section 80
of the act of June 20, 1916, affords no
relief. The proposition itself would
be without support of any kind but
for the provision of the autonomy act
of August 20, 1916, which, in it's pre-
amble recitaIs indicated an intention
to withdraw sovereignty Of the
United States over the Philippine Is
lands and to recognize their inde-
pendence as soon as. stable govern
ment can be established there.
Degree Of Permanence.
THAT act was passed over eight
years ago." continues Justice Hoeh-
ling, 'at which time the Filipino had
been under continuous allegiance to
the United States for some II years
in short, the allegiance Of the Fill
pino to the United States has now
existed continuously for more than a
quarter of a century. An allegiance ce
which has thus existed and continued
without interruption, with no present
fixed Limitation in duration as to the
