Speaker. several years ago a Representative from.Delaware. Air. Heald. introduced a private naturalization bill. which went to the Committee on Immigration and Naturalization. I do not think the gentleman from Alabansa was then the chairman of it. The resolution was to grant citizenship to a man who was able to fill every particular required by the law except to give the name of the ship on which lie came over to this country when he was 2 years old. The records which would have supplied the information were destroyed in the Baltimore fire. That was in 1904. He has been unable to become naturalized because the United States district judge for Delaware refuses to waive that defect. Can the gentleman tell me whether a bill to grant this man naturalization would be now in order under the policy of the committee?
