WASHINGTON.-In an opinion by
Chief Justice Fuller the supreme court
of the United States decided that the
citizens of Porto Rico are not aliens
of the United States and that they are
entitled to enter this country without

The opinion was delivered in the

ground that she was likely to become
public charge, The decision was
based entirely on the immigration act
of 1891 and took the ground that the
Porto Ricans owe allegiance to the

MR.. OBSERVERS
OBSERVATIONS
Returns to the City to Find
No EIectricL Line Progress

George Observer, a former resident
of Guthrie. arrived in The city yester
day. after a long period Of absence.
Since leaving Guthrie he has visited
the principal cities of the United
States introducing his patent brake
for electric street railways and re-
ports that be has met with gratifying
! success. upon which his numerous
friends are extending congratulations.
He was agreeabiy surprised TO note
the numerous substantial improve
ments that are in evidence on every
hand I'm this city. both in public end
private buildings. newly paved streets.
etc, but was disappointed to find ihat
the city is slll without street cars, for
rs he says, just before he left Guthrie
he attended a meeting of the city
council whereat franchise was rush
ed through that bo y granting the
| privilege TO construct an electric street
car line in Guthrie to some promoter
from Oklahoma City. He says that he
remembers the arguments advanced
in favor Of immediate action were,
among other things, that the alleged
company desired TO begin work at
once. before the streets we're paved.
He says also that there was delega-
ton Of capitalists from St Louis in at
tendance at this session Of the council,
VINO almost begged for a weeks delay
before definite action was had, In order
that they might bring their civil en-
gineer here to look over the ground so
that they could the more intelligently
make the city a proposition to con-
struct a street car line in Guthrie. He
says he was surprised 20 note that
the mayor and solle of the council
men treated these gentlemen with
scant courtesy This was the impress
siaaa of several others who were in at
tendance, but it was supposed that the
mayor and councilmen knew their
ground. Mr.. Observer says that since
/ his return he has become pretty thor
oughly convinced that the city legisla-
ture was shared INTO trap by smooth
men from Oklahoma City, who secured
this street railway franchise, not for
the purpose Of beilding the road, but
as a speculation, and falling in that,
to at least tie up Guthrie both hands
ami feet. in order to cripple a danger
Gus rival. He says he does not believe
that the mayor and councilmen know
ingIy did this, but thinks they are vic
Tins of sharp practices. The result
seems to bear out Mr.. Observers con.
clusions
He referred to Shawnee as an eX-
Iample Of more business like methods
for that city is going right along build
ing it's street railroad. paving its
streets, etc. which, as Mr. Observer
states, refutes the specious plea Of
Shartel eld his crowd that a string
ency i nthe money market delays the
construction OF our street car lines.
Guthrie has been the victim an
sufferer on many occasions through
saort sightedness. If notLins worse, "a

perhaps for all summer. And when all
that was done, what great delights We're
