NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Court News.


Estee's court yesterday morning To
the average beholder of the crowd who I
had sized up the little kingdom on the |
map II was hard to believe that Portu-
gal had room for so many residents as
were there. And all OF them wanted
to be American citizens 50 that they
can vote at the coming election.
Most OF these Portuguese were
brought in by few leaders Of the
various political parties who had got
ten them together and induced them TO
take out their papers so that their
votes might be made use OF in Novem-
Der. II did not take Judge Estee long
TO discover this fact for as man after
man came up followed by the same
witnesses as to his good character
and qualities that made him a proper
applicant for American citizenship.
the judge grew wroth and demanded
of these stock witnesses how they hap
pened to know so many people well
enough to be able To Judge as TO their
character.
And right there he put his foot down
hard and announced from the bench
that he had had enough of the stock
witness business and would require of
all applicants that they produce wit
nesses that knew more of them than
those that had thus far testified. He
wanted 10 know II there was any polt
zeal reason for this sudden increase In
the naturalization business.
He was assured by the party leaders
who were chaperoning the crowd of
would be citizens that they were sim
ply DESTROYS Of seeing all the men who
were competent TO vote given chance
at the coming election.
During the day forty-eight applicants
we're received and Clerk Mailing had
his hands full OF more trouble than he
has run up against since he came 10
Hawaii.
These were the lucky ones who sue
ceeded I'm securing their papers as Am
.erican citizens:
