Mr.. DEGETAN'S ADMISSION.
Does 1t show supreme Courts Lean
ing in Porto Rican Cases.

Washington, April S0.-The Supreme
Court yesterday admitted to practice
Federico Degetau, the resident commits
sioner from Porto Rico in the United
States. The practice of the court permits
only citizens of the United States to
practice before it. There have been in
stances where attorneys not regularly
eligible for practice before the bar of the
Supreme Court have been permitted to
argue a specific case only. but the rule
against foreigners, it is believed has been
strictly enforced. The admission of Mr.
Degetau has caused considerable comment
in view of the insular cases pending be-
fore the. court.
Solicitor General Richards declares the
admission of Mr.. Degetau has no signif-
canoe in connection with the insular cases
awaiting. decision by the court. The law
of Congress permits appeals from the de-
cision of the United States Court of the
island of Porto Rico to the Supreme Court
of the United States, and Mr.. Richards
said it appeared 70 him but reasonabl
that an attorney engaged in a cause in
the insiuar court should be allowed to
follow the case when it went to that of
appellate jurisdiction.
