Show ;!ll OMISSION IN FATHER'S NATURALIZA- Jijl TION DIES NOT DAUNT THIS LADY r of H "When is a citizen not a citizen ?" is the difficult and altogether K perplexing question that is causing Paul Armstrong, naturaliza- Ui n An V tlou examiner at Salt I-ake City, considerable trouble. Meantime JVIllUJB Miss Cecelia Weiss wants to know whether sho Is a citizen of the rB United States, and, if she is not a citizen of the United Stntes, 1 iffflH ,nt ,8 flJl0? M'ss Weiss, being an unusually energetic young ireeblnck'R oman, went down to Millnrd county and took up a dry farm at horn B clnim. Shu Uvea on that clnim seven months of the year, working ,th sticoti 1 hard to improve it. lnst summer she and her sister dug postholes a PrJft IB iuu' ence(l m ft Portion of her property. She proposes to make a Da ITlCci m Yea furm ol,t 0f the place, and is meeting with considerable suc- cailon B cess. In winter she goes up to Salt Lake City and works hard to K fAve up money to carry her through the months she Is on the farm. Phone 43XK Now Miss Weiss is about ready to apply for her final papers vii H en the homestead, and therefore has to prove, among other things, H thnt she is a citizen of the United States. There is where sho en- 7777JB countered trouble. She hnsn't given up, not by any manner of M"M"H-HK means, but she faces a serious problem, to say the least. It Is all I H B due to the fact that her father was careless in making out his citl- HfinnK zenship papers back in 1011. He was naturalized in Newport, Ky., UlUUHHH uhen votes for a certain political party were much in demand, SB and he was rushed into citizenship to help out. In the blank where annger p It ned about minor children Weiss wrote that he had none. At nakBI ke me Cecilia was a minor, having been born in 1890. Her storn jH father beenmo a citizen, and has since moved to Los Angeles. 010ARS ju Technically Miss Weiss became a citizen, but the papers held kbtaii Ml k her father do not prove It, because he left out her name as a on TAP jy minor child. Miss Weiss has mado application for nnlurnllzntlon NtKOT IB papers, but it is expected thnt the court will throw out her applica- g3 tion, clnlming that she Is already a citizen nnd cannot apply for vH Hi vl,ftth already has. Yet, when Miss Weiss goes to the land of- l JQS fice, she won't hnvo anything to prove that she Is a citizen, nnd the fjcHxiH. iH Patent to her claim may be held up. . . L JPJj The case is coming up this week before Judge Morris L. Ritchie l""l"tlMj In the district court of Salt Lake county. There another problem ber ilium iBj arises. Is the girl a. resident of Salt Lake county or of Millard tags anap fiunty? Which court would liave jurisdiction?-- ' ' '' Ja" rtcK Meantime Hiss Weiss declares she is going to get that farm, em, Tiie &'S nnd Is going to mnke a success of farming nnd nil of Uncle Snm'a Jr rcdtnpe doesn't frighten her for a minute. |
