Saloon Licenses Revoked Mayor
Andrew Olson issued orders yesterday
afternoon revoking the license of VOL
stencroft brothers on Fifteenth street
south of Sixth avenue, and of CAMEL
Vermuelen on Seventh avenue near
Five Points. 1t seems that the saloons
are not being operated by the persons
to whom the licenses were issued, but
the names of the present proprietors
could not be learned. Both places
were controlled by brewing company,
and a Russian was in charge of the
old Wolstencroft place and a Belgian
at Vermuelen's. The licenses were
revoked on account of brawls which
occurred Sunday morning.

evening of Jan. 30 went to Clinton,
Iowa, where they were quietly married
As was stated above, the couple had
intimated to their friends that they
would have the happy event take place
last week, and SO preparations were
made, but as the week neared an end
the friends became anxious, while the
smile on the groom became broader
every day. Finally the questions came
too many and too fast, so that the cou-
pie owned up, and formal announce
ment is made.

to the restaurant and paid off som.
old debts he had contracted there.

PORTUGUESE
MADE GLAD
lIIiterate Men May Be
NaturaIiZed and
Get Land.

There was commotion of a joyous
kind in the Portuguese colony yester-
day.
It was on account of the lifting OF
the shadow of great injustice from
the heads of many of the older Por-
tuguese residents of these islands.
These people had been under the i'm
pression-as had been many of other
nationalities including men learned in
/ the law-that because they could not
read and write they We're not eligible
for American citizenship, in that case,
therefore, not entitled TO acquire Gov
ernment land either by purchase or
gift. For them no benefit of home
stead laws, if the impression mention
ed were correct.
But it is wrong impression. The
conditions of citizenship are not iden-
tical with the qualifications for voters.
A man may be a citizen of the United
States and unable to qualify as a voter
of the Territory of Hawaii. That an
alien could not be naturalized in Ha-
wan unless he could read and write
the English or Hawaiian language is
an impression that was created by the
late Judge Estee's refusal to naturalize
any unable to show possession of such
accomplishments. This was not law.
1t was a judicial whim well-meaning
though it might have been.
Land Commissioner Pratt on his re-
cent visit to Hawaii, had this question
of naturalization put to him with
great earnestness by some of the old
Portuguese pioneers and their friends.
1t was a natural thing that the Ques-
ton should be reviewed in view of the
fact that the Government had agents
at that very time in the Azores au-
thorized to offer the Portuguese there
public lands for homesteads of their
own if they would emigrate to this
country How such a bait could be
hung up for Portuguese in their native
islands who. it may be taken for
granted, cannot read or write the
English or Hawaiian language, and
be forbidden fruit TO Portuguese who
nave lived here more than twenty
years. was surely a problem to cause
head-scratching. Mr.. Pratt was strong
ly inclined to the belief that the Por-
tuguese in question were eligible to
become citizens and promised to get at
the bottom of the matter if possible.
Judge Dole of the United States Dis
trict Court was consulted on the mat
tcT ny ltiS l>dHl COMMISSIONER yeSlST-
day. He unhesitatingly stated that
there was nothing in the existing
laws to make il1iteracy ,
a bar to citizenship. Another matter
cleared up in Mr.. Pratt's investigation
is that the provision of the Organic !
Act which exempts a person who has
resided in these islands at least five
years prior to the taking effect of the
act tJune II, 1900 from the require
ment of previous declaration Of in
tention to become a citizen etc, will
not be void from anything in the
naturalization law passed by
he last Congress until October 1 next.
when the latter measure will take
effect.
Commissioner Pratt is very desirous
that the elder Portuguese should be
placed in position to share in the dis
.ribution of homesteads. In his esti-
