Rights Of Porto Rico.
CITIZENSHIP IN HAWAII.
Right of Circuit Court to Issue Ger
'tificates Involved.

Attorney General Heminway of Hawaii
has arrived in Washington preparatory
to appearing in the Supreme Court of the
United States in a number of cases from
that territory. For the convenience OF
the Hawaiian lawyers. before adjourning

cases from Hawaii Set them for hearing
one after another and advanced them so
that they will be reached within the next
Two weeks. Most of these cases are i'm
portant only to the litigants, but one or
them that of Morita Keizo. involves the
citizenship of number of residents of the
islands.
Keizo Is Jap who is under sentence on
rhe charge of murder, and he has ap-
pealed his case to the Supreme Court on
the ground that eight of the eighteen
members of the jury which sat in his
trial were not citizens of the United
States. They We're foreigners who had
taken ont naturalization papers in the
circuit court of the islands The law
provides for the issuance OF citizenship
papers by only the district court, and
Eeizo contends sthat because the papers
in the case of the jurors were issued by
the circuit court they were not eligible TO
act in that capacity or in any other ca
pacity implying citizenship lie will ac.
cordingly ask the Supreme Court To re-
verse the finding.
Mr.. Heminway will contend that for the
purposes of naturalization the circ,,it
court was in effect the district court. He
says that If the decision should go against
this contention about one thousand men
would be affected, many of them being
Portuguese who have gone To the islands
in recent years and who have taken our
papers in the circuit court.
