The Latest Decision
In Re Naturalization
= y = = y = y

Civil War, when, in view of the pecu-
liar situation of the inhabitants of this
country of African descent, the laws
were amended SO as to permit the nat
uralization of Africans and aliens of
African descent. In the year 1862, a
law was enacted in recognition of ser
vices of aliens who enlisted in the mill
tary service of this county, authorizing
naturalization of aliens who should be
hOnorably discharged from military ser
vice, and that law became incorporated
in Title XXX of the Revised Statutes
of the United States as section 2166.
AS originally enacted by Congress, sec
tion 2169 merely extended the privilege
of naturalization to Africans and aliens
of African descent, but by the act of
1875 to correct errors and supply omis-
sions in the Revised Statutes that sec
ton was amended to read as follows:
EfThe provisions of this title shall apply
to aliens being free white persons, and
to aliens of African nativity and to
persons of African descent As both
sections are comprised in Title XXX,
this amendment of section 2169 pro-
vides rule of construction applicable
to section 2166, and being the latest ex-
preston of the viii of Congress on the
subject it is controlling, and limits the
privilege of naturalization to white per
sons and those of African nativity or
descent. The use of the words "white
persons - clearly indicates the intention
of Congress to maintain a line of de-
narration between races and to extend
the privilege of naturalization only to
those of that race which is predominant
in this country.
In re All Yup, Federal Cases No. 104.
In re Saito, 81 Federal Reporter, 126.
In re Yamishita, 80 Washington, 234.
As this applicant is of different
race. the court is constrained to deny
his application on the ground that the
laws enacted by Congress do not ex-
tend to people of his race, the privilege
of becoming naturalized citizens of this
country.

CRAFT CHARGES
INVESTIGATED
Grand Jury Takes Up ACCUSE
ton Against Detective
Ali.

The Territorial grand jury was in SEES
sion yesterday, and will be in session
again this morning, expecting to con-
clude its work for the time being and
make its report to Judge Robinson at
noon.
Interest in the proceedings yesterday
centered largely in the investigation
which the grand jury began into the
charges of graft which have been made
against some of the employees of the
police department. The particular
charge which is being investigated is
that against Detective Ali. It is
charged that he accepted brides of So
and So for giving such weak testimony
in the police court that the men who
bribed him were let off.
Another matter taken up bv the
grand jury was charge of assault with
a razor on Mamie Thomas made against
Emory Harris. Harris is on the Iro-
quois, and has been deprived of shore
liberty for weeks. But he steals ashore
once in awhile, and nearly always gets
into trouble while ashore. Usually his
trouble is charge of assault made by
him on some one with razor. The
razor is his favorite weapon.
Another case before the grand Jury
is that of Andrew zee, charged with
the burglary of the residence of James
T. Taylor.
Captain Carter's Case.
In sthe Supreme Court yesterday
argument was heard in the case of che
Territory VS.. Captain J. f. Carter.
saulted F. B. Moore on the Naval Sta
ton grounds The question involved
is whether the Territorial courts have
jurisdiction of assaults committed on
the Naval Station property. Deputy
Attorney General Whitney and Deputy
County Attorney Milverton represent
ed the Territory, while Carter was rep
resented by NJ. F. Prosser. The court
took the matter under Amusement.
Guardians for Princes.
In the proceedings for the contest
of the will of the late Prince David
yesterday, E. M. Watson was appoint
ed guardian ad Item of Kalakaua Ka-
wananakoa, and Mrs. Campbell -Parke,
of Liliuokalani Kawananakoa.
Contempt Proceedings.
Judge Dole announced yesterday that
at 10 O'Clock this morning he would

A home at the leper settlement for
the white lepers is a project which re-
ceived the approval of the Board of
Health yesterday, and is a project on
which Superintendent McVeigh has set
his heart, There are now twenty-three
white lepers at the settlement The
ration authorized Apy sne statute for
each leper includes one paiai week.
This is very satisfactory to the Ha.
Waiian lepers to whom poi is an i'm
portant and desired part of the food
supply. But to the whites who do not
care for poi or to whom it is not so
desirable portion of the regular diet,
1t is not SO satisfactory. But under
the statutes there cannot be made any
distinction in the ration served The
only thing that can be done is that
the white lepers are permitted to COM
mute their allowance of poi for an equi-
valent in value in groceries. But the
committing value of the paiai allow,
ance is only sixty-three cents a week
which when laid out in coffee, -four,
sugar, potatoes, and other groceries does
not go very far.
There is a fund, provided in the past,
by a number of public spirited and gen,
erous citizens for the white lepers who
are INDECENT, and from this fund nine
of them receive FIVE dollars month.
1t is Superintendent McEeigh s idea,
that if Home could be provided for
all these white lepers, where common
mess could be provided, that then by
pooling their regular allowances for
food and the allowances from the in
dlgent fund, very wholesome and sat
isfactory table could be set for these
without any additional expense over
what is now provided for.
Preliminary plans for such home
have been drawn. The home thus de.
signed will cost about $4,000. The
board expressed It's approval of the
plan if it could be brought about and
James F. Morgan promised to give Su
perintendent McVeigh his assistance in
attempting to raise the necessary
money.
