SAN Francisco, May 16.-This morn
ing Attorney Pickering, in the supreme
court, made motion that Hong Yen
Chang be admitted to practice. The
matter was taken under advisement.
Hong Yen Chang is a Christianized
Chinaman who came to this country
several years ago. He entered Harvard
college, and afterwards attended lectures
at the Albany, N. Y, law school,
from which institution he gradu-
ated with honors. He was naturalized
by New York court some time before
his graduation, and was duly authorized
by the supreme court to practice in all
the courts of that state. The justices
are in quandary over the situation. The
/ point involved is whether Chang's citi
zenship papers are legal, even if they
were issued before the law forbidding
the naturalization of Chinese was
passed. The laws of the state distictly
provides that no one not citizen can
practice in the courts.
