BY Sweeping Decision
Of Judge Wing.
PROBATECOURTCAN'T
Issue Naturalization Papers,
According to His Ruling--
Common Pleas. Court
Has Only Right.

united states Judge wing, at CleVe-
land, Wednesday afternoon, rendered
a decision that will revolutionize the
issuing of naturalization papers in the
future. compelling the common pleas
courts instead of the probate courts to
act in all such matters. The decision
may invalidate almost every naturali-
cation paper issued in the state, as
they are usually made out by probate
judges or their deputies. In Stark
county the probate judge invariably
does the work.
The decision was in connection with
the sustaining of demurrer that was
offered by Attorneys Heisley and Boyd
to the indictment against Fred Ross,
alias Ferdinando Rosso, charged with
aiding and abetting in the securing
of fraudulent naturalization papers in
the Insolvency court OF Cuyahoga
county, and jointly charged with Jos.
OMalley with conspiracy TO commit
crime against the government by Sc
curing citizenship papers for candi-
dates who under the law did not quail
ify.
The ground of the demurrer was
that the Indictment was faulty because
in all Of the courts against Fred Ross
the acts charged against the defen-
dant were committed in the insolvency
court. 1t was claimed that the indict-
ment was at fault as the insolvency
court is not among the courts men
toned under the statutes as having
the power to grant citizenship papers.
The decision was rendered under
section 2165 of the United States laws,
which provides that courts which shall
have jurisdiction in the issuing of cit
izensbip papers must be courts of rec
ord. having common law jurisdiction.
q court seal and a court clerk. BY
having a clerk it is meant that the
clerk of the court shall be an officer
altogether Independent of the judge,
as the clerk of the common pleas court,
district or circuit courts. The insol-
vency court legally has no clerk. The
Judge Is an ex ofFicio clerk and he has
the right to appoint deputy clerks.
Judge Wings decision was in part:
Congress intended by further desig-
nation of the necessary qualifications
Of the court permitted to entertain
this jurisdiction, to-wit, that it should
have a seal and clerk, meaning that
the clerk should be an officer inde-
pendent of the judge. and since the
court of insolvency has not such clerk
! hold that il has no jurisdiction in
the granting OF citizenship papers, and
the demurrer is sustained"
Judge Wings decision also affects
every probate court in Ohio. The po-
sition of the probate court on this
point is identical with that of the in
solvency court. The probate judge is
probate clerk. ex officio. He appoints
a deputy clerk who acts as clerk of the
court.
Thousands of citizens have been nat
uralized in the probate court that are
touched by this decision. The ruling
practically takes the right Of granting
naturalization papers away. from az
courts below the common pleas and
United States courts.
