I have in my hand a letter that gives. me some information of which I was entirely unadvised. and which I suspect is a matter of news to a majority of the M embers of this House. A man in my dis trict wanted to get his wife over from the other country. and she was at Warsaw. as I understand it. I wrote to him telling him if he were a naturalized citizen he could bring his wife over here. I got in response the following letter. which is illuminating. and it seems to me to call for some kind of legis lation somewhere tlat w\ill relieve a condition like this. It says : M Y DEA R MA. GRAHAM : I am In receipt of your- telegram and letter In regard to Mr. At. llixgorn. and regret very much to advise that he I not yet a naturalized citizen. He has. however. applied and his appli cation was heard during the last January term. and because of a rnling by the Naturalization Department that no final papers issue where the applicants wife is a resilent of a foreign country. 11e was refused fia papers. and his case continued to the May term. You can readily se the dilemma in which Mr. Bixgorn is In. He can get no final papers because his wife is in a foreign country and lie can not get his wife into this country because he has no fina papers. Please take this phase of the matter up with the State Departnmcn and see if an exception to the rule will be made. and in the meantim I will. on the opening of the May term of court. submit this situatio to the examiner and the court and ask for an exception to the rule ii force by the naturalization authorities. In any event. any further effort by you in Air. Bixgorns behalf will be greatly appreciated.
