Instead of being against the convenience of the aliens. it is really in favor of his convenience at places where they have no federal courts. Now. let me read what the clerks have to do. Section 9 says. in referring to petitions for naturalization: SEc. 9. That every final hearing upon such petition shall be had in open court before a judge or judges thereof. and every final order which may be made upon such petition shall be under the hand of the court and entered in full upon a record kept for that purpose. and upon such final hearing of such petition the applicant and witnesses shall be examined under oath before the court and in the presence of the court. There is the order that the clerk has to enter. Then section 12 provides: SEC. 12. That It is hereby made the duty of the clerk of each and every court exercising jurisdiction In naturalization matters under the provisions of this act to keep and file a duplicate of each declaration of intention made before him and to send to the Bureau of Immigration and Naturalization at Washington. within thirty days after the issuance of a certificate of citizenship. a duplicate of such certificate. and to make and keep on file in his office a stub for each certificate so issued by. him. whereon shall be entered a memorandum of all the essential facts set forth in such certificate. Now. you see. he has to make and file that duplicate. he has to send it to the Bureau of Immigration at Washington within thirty days. It further provides: It shall also be the duty of the clerk of each of said courts to report to the said bureau. within thirty days after the final hearing and decision of the court. the name of each and every alien who shall be denied naturalization. and to furnish to said bureau duplicates of all petitions within thirty days after the filing of the same. and certified copies of such other proceedings and orders instituted in or issued out of said court affecting or relating to the naturalization of aliens as may be required from time to time by the said bureau.
