It is proper in this connection to state that when the bill came into the Senate Senator EDMUNDS (Republican) moved to strike out section 14. as retained in the bill by the vote just given in Committee of the Whole. and substitute the following: Nothing in this act shall be construed to change the existing naturalization laws so as to permit Chinese persons to citizenship. Upon this motion the vote in the Senate was as follows: YeasAllison. Blair.
