THEY ARE NOT CITIZENS

MINED BY JUDGE LACOMBE.
He Holds Them to BE Aliens by Birth,
of Paris-Substance of Decision.

NEW YORK, Oct. IA decision was
handed down to-day In the United States
Circuit Court by Judge Lacombe in which
a citizen of the United States and as such
entitled to land here without interference
from the immigration authorities, but is,
the insular decisions Notwithstanding, an
alien within the meaning of the law.
The matter came before Judge Lacombe
on the application for writ of habeas cor
pus sworn out on behalf of Isabella Con-
zalos, native Porto Rican woman, who
arrived in New York on Aug. "a last. She
was detained by the immigration authori-
ried woman, her condition was such that
she was an undesire BILE alien. She was
dered deported, but well-to-do aunt and
uncle living on Staten island secured at
torneys to get her released through habeas
corpus.
'"The only question for discussion" reads
the opinion, lis whether petitioner is an
alien. The fourteenth amendment to the
Constitution Of the United States provides
that all persons born or naturalized in the
tior iereof, are citizens of the United
Stases. Petitioner was by birth an alien
unless she has since, in some appropriate
way, been naturalized she is still an alien
There is no suggestion that she was ever
naturalized under the general laws regu-
lating the admission of alien citizens The
treaty of Paris, unlike earlier treaties
which dealt with Louisiana, Florida, Cali
fornia and Alaska, did not undertake to
make native-born citizens of Porto Rico
