URGES IMPORTANT
LAW POINT BE MADE
Bonaparte Asks Devlin to Take
Up Right of Appeal in Natur-
alizati0n Cases
Has U. S. Court of Appeals
Jurisdiction Over State Tri-
bunaIs in Such Matters?

The question of whether an appeal
would lie from an order of a state
court admitting or denying an alien 10
citizenship to the United States circuit
eourt of appeal was argued for the
first time yesterday before the federal
court by United States Attorney Robert
I. Devlin in an appeal taken by j. c.
Thorn from the superior court at Wash
fngton. A special request in the case
was made of United States Attorney
Devlin that he would personally make
the argument by Attorney General
Bonaparte and Richard X. Campbell,
chief of the naturalization bureau at
Washington, d. c.
In the appeal this point was not raised.
but Attorney General Bonaparte deemed
1T of so much Importance that the de-
sired it presented to the court for the
purpose Of obtaining a decision as a
precedent
Under the recent statute passed by
congress, federal and state courts have
the right to admit aliens to citizenship.
An appeal lies from the federal courts
to the United States circuit court Of
appeals from any order made either
granting or denying an application for
admission to citizenship. The act Gre
ating the United States circuit court of
appeals provides that it shall have
jurisdiction in appeals from the federal
courts, but says nothing about appeals
from the state courts.

HARMONY is AIM
OF REALTY BOARD
Directors Hold Annual Meeting
and Re-elect Officers

AT the annual meeting of the San
Francisco real estate board yesterday
the directors REELECTED S. G. Buckbee,
president; G. d. Toy, first vice presi-
dent; A. J. Rich, second vice president,
and John McGaw, treasurer. Three
vacancies on the board were filled with
the election of A. L. Harrigan, d. Coffin
and H B. White.
The newly elected directors favored
the assemblage with their views on the
general situation. Harrigan said 1t
would be his endeavor to bring about
cooperation among the real estate
men, and painted a picture of the evils
that assailed all men in the business
of disposing of real estate.
President Buckbee agreed with Har-
rigan and said he remembered the time
when his firm could not make sale
unless it was knocked" by the Ma
gees. But now he and the Magees
are on the best or terms. and even G..
H. Umbsen cheered them on to fresh
|endeavor.
d. Coffin said the Mission would
feel honored at his being asked to
serve on the board.
H. B. White spoke on Senator Nc
Cartney's proposed bill on mortgages.
which he said would stop all loans on
realty. He asked the board to send d
representative to Sacramento to in
teCNleW lH0. judiciary committee ana
explain to them the evil it would do
to the city.
IF the bill is carried it will stop all
building in the city" said he, ''and it
will be the greatest injury ever done to
San Francisco
G. D. Boardman presented a motion
asking the board to try and get all
real estate men to accurately report
the price of sales, as the initiating of
prices had done much to injure the
business He also made a motion for
the board to work to secure the pro-
posed appropriation of $S0O,0O0 for the
building of an armory for the national
guard in this city.
After some discussion 1t was decided
to hold banquet at a cost not ex-
ceeding $3.50 a plate.
