GOVERNMENT TO ASK
RULING ON APPEALS
NATURALIZATION CASE RAISES
IMPORTANT POINT
Question Involves Taking of Suits
from State Courts to United
States Appellate Circuit
Courts

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The gov
eminent is preparing to ask the SUI
preme court to decide whether appeals
may be taken from state courts to the
United States circuit courts of appeal.
The question is raised in the case of
Anton Hansen Haug, a subject of the
king of Norway. Haug filed petition
for naturalization in the superior court
of Kings county, Washington.
The government interviewed with the
papers could not be issued to himI The
Kings county court denied q motion to
this effect, whereuponr the United
States district attorney presented to
that court a petition for a writ of err
ror to the United States court of APP
peals for the Ninth circuit, on the
ground that the case involved federal
statute.
The petition was granted, but with
out deciding the case the court of APP
peals certified a question to the SUI
preme court in which that court was
asked whether the federal court of APP
peaIs had jurisdiction to review an or
der of a state court in a naturalization
case.
If the question should be decided in
the affirmative it would give the circuit
court of appeals the same standing in
its respective circuits that the supreme
court itself has in the country at large.
The court of appeals also asks the
supreme court to determine the ques
ton as to whether, under the federal
law, an alien minor can properly make
application for naturalization.

AMENDMENTS TO CERTAIN
SCHEDULES OF PAYNE BILL
TO BE BROUGHT UP MONDAY

WASHINGTON, April THAT a
rule permitting amendments to certain
schedules of the Payne tariff bill will
be brought in Monday is now virtually
certain.
The ways and means committee hav-
ing decided to take off the duty on tea
and strike out the countervailing duty
on coffee, a great deal of opposition
caused by those provisions of the bill
has vanished.
AS it has been agreed to permit
vote on the hides and lumber schedules
only a few provisions remain about
which there is much contention.
The reciprocity provision for bitumin-
Gus coal and the placing of iron ore on
the free list are understood to have
been conceded by the house leaders as
two propositions under the rule to per-
nit vote.
The question of permitting a vote on
the countervailing duty on petroleum
has not been decided
When the rule for controlling the
amendments to the tariff bill is
brought in, a heated discussion is GER
tain to take place. There are indica-
lions that the minority members who
voted for the Fitzgerald amendment to
the rules may vote with the Republi-
cans on the tariff bill rule.

HARTMAN SEEMS
LIKE NEW MAN
REACHES NEW YORK AFTER
LONG WESTERN TRIP
SAYS LINES IN MEXICO ALREADY
ARE CONSTRUCTED
Repeal Of Laws Aggressive to Rail-
roads, He Declares, Is Imperative
If Lines People Need Are
to Be Built
fBy Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 1.-Bronzed by
his weeks of sojourn under southern
skies and trimming over with vital
ity, E. H. Hartman reached here late
today, to all appearances reinvigor-
ated man, after his long combination
vacation and business trip over the
network of Hartman railroads in the
west, the southwest and Mexico.
IT have been made to say that we
were constructing a line down the
west coast to Mexico he said. what
should have been said was that we
already had constructed it. The line
is now completed from Nogales, Ariz.,
on the Mexican line, to Mazatlan, Mex
leo, and in reality a new country mas
been discovered by this railroad con-
struction.
I'm one tract opened up by irriga-
ton 600 900 acres of the best land is
made available for cultivation and
opened to a market. American help is
needed in the development in direct
way. There is plenty of labor, but
American initiative and executive abll-
ity will count there, as elsewhere"
Mr.. Hartman said he found in the
west and southwest a vastly changed
sentiment toward the railroads. with
such a sentiment there should be en-
couragement for the railroads to go
ahead with development work, he said.
Repeal of repressive state laws IS
imperative" he declared, eff the rail-
road lines that the people need and
the railroads want to build are to be
constructed The truth is, the states
in adopting these laws only followed
the example of the national govern
ment. Now let the national govern
ment set the reverse example. Not re-
peal, but readjustment of the laws
regulating the cooperation is neces-
sary."
Hears Little About Tariff
Mr.. Hartman said he had heard lit
tie talk about the tariff in the Tar
west.
Asked as to possible wage reduction
by the railroads, he said:
1--WE have not even considered the
matter, and shall not SO long as we
can afford to pay"
Mr.. Hartman said about 100000
had already been spent on the South
ern Pacific Mexican line extension and
not improbably an expenditure of $780,
100000 altogether would be necessary
to complete the work.
When asked if he was to become ac-
lively identified with the New York
Central, Mr.. Hartman replied he was
not bothering his head about the mat
ter.
Neither had he agreed with the Hill
interests in the west. A conference
over terminal matters in Portland,
Ore. was his only communication with
representatives of those interests, he
said.
Mr.. Hartman said the Southern Pa
cific expects to make a success of its
irrigation plant in Southern Califor-
MIA, despite the difficulties he declared
were being put in the companys way
by the government.
1--WE saved 900 or 100000 acres of
valuable arabic land for all time by
our prompt work at the time of the
Colorado river in-rush," he said. II
am convinced that we acted only four
or five days ahead of the time when
that land for all practical purposes
would have been forever lost to re-
clamation."

BACON INSISTS
ON DEMOCRATS
HAVING HEARING

lie funds in furtherance of an ex-parte
consideration of the bill in committee.
The resolution was finally referred to
the committee on finance.
Number Overestimated
When Senator Beacon called atten-
tion to a statement made by Senator
Hale last Monday, that he had Just
come from the committee room where
there were thirty or forty diSanected
or dissatisfied Pennsylvanians," it was
explained both by Mr.. Hale and Mr..
Aldrich the number had been over es-
timated. 1t seemed, Mr.. Aldrlch SAID,
that all the people coming before the
members of the committee had been
experts whose assistance had been nee
essary for a proper understanding OF
the question being considered. he SAID
the house had been holding hearings
and had published nine volumes or
them, and he doubted whether any
Democratic senator had read any part
of them.
"You will have to make an exception
in my case" said Mr.. Bailey, inter-
rupting, although 1 have not read all
of them and do not intend to read
them"
Mr.. Aldrich said the experts were not
subpoenaed or paid any witness fees,
and he declared their statements were
not public hearings at all.
Senator Daniel insisted on knowing
what objection could be urged by the
senator from Rhode Island against the
Democratic members of the committee
hearing the statements.
us it," asked Mr.. Daniel, "a private
snap for the purpose of framing tariff
bill without giving a right to repre-
sentatives of the people to hear the
testimony"
Mr.. Aldrich said it was the purpose
of the committee. so far as he knew, to
hold public hearings.
Opposes Majority Method
Senator Rayner strongly opposed the
majority method of framing the tariff
bill.
when you are dividing this plum
der" he said, "at least be fair to each
other. In behalf of the senator from
West Virginia, 1 at least beg of you
to give him back his raw materials. He
has stood with you on the field of battle
and when the hour of submission comes
the senator from West Virginia will be
here and his protesting voice will not
be heard in this hall against single
article on the schedule"
He referred to the coal mines of Sen
ator ElSins, and his indignation over
| the proposition to place the products
of his state upon the free list.
Senator Bailey Indignantly resented
the right of Senator Aldrich to speak
for the Democratic party on the tar
| if, and added that when the time came
to vote that party would be found sus-
tanning the principles of taxation that
had so long been maintained by it.
Speaking of the inheritance tax, pro-
posed in the house bill, he said he
would rather tax the living rich by
means of an income tax than to tax
the dead. "who are only moderately
we'll do" as proposed in the inheri-
tance tax.
Mr.. Aldrich suggested that the mat
ter contemplated in the Bacon resolu-
ton would be taken care of by the COM
mittee of finance, and it was by viva
voce vote referred to that committee.
