RIGHT TO VOTE DENIED.
New York Supreme Court Renders an I'M

ship of Porto RIcans In This Country.

New York, Oct. 31.-The application
of Frank Juarbe, Porto Rican, for a
writ of mandamus to compel the board
of inspectors to register him as a
voter, was denied by Justice Freed
man in the supreme court. The claim
was made that Juarbe became a citi-
zen of the United States when sover-
eighty over Porto Rico was ceded to
the United States by Spain. Juarbe
has lived in this state more than
year and in the county the required
time to entitle him to register. Cor
poration Counsel Whale1 opposed the
writ on the ground that by the treaty
the political and civil status of the
Porto Ricans was left to be decided
by congress and that congress has
not yet decided. Justice Freedman
denied the writ on the ground taken
by the corporation counsel.
