vines. A great variety of shrubs,

afforded shelter for sharpshooters

the fence boundary stood double row
of large trees To the far left of our

WEINzHEIMER IS
FULL -FLEDGED
Citizen NOW

The citizenship of Ludwig Wcinz-
hcimcr, which started row at the last
Republican Territorial convention, can
be no longer questioned. He was one
of eight aliens admitted to fun citizen
ship in the United States by Federal
Judge Clemens this morning.
wcinzhcimer, manager of the Pho
nser plantation at Lahaina, Maui,
proved one of the bones of contention
at the Republican convention because
he came as delegate, some claiming
he had the right to share in the pro-
cccdings and to cast his vote because
he had declared his Intention to be-
come a citizen and would vote at the
next election. His claim was support
ed by the Frcar-Taft contingent, but
bitterly attacked by the followers OF
Kuhio.
Passed up to the committee on Gre
dcntials, the dispute resulted In two
reports, the majority recommending
that he bc accepted. So much senti-
mcnt In favor of the minority report
was aroused, however, that WcinZhei-
mcr voluntarily withdrew from the
convention floor and was Checred for
his action. He Is now assured that
difficulty of this nature will not he en-
countcrcd again, and that he may cast
his vote at the next election I'm No
vcmbcr.
Among the others admitted to citi-
zcnship this morning was Pauline
Natto, who for fourteen years has been
man without n country. He was
born in the Philippines, Of Spanish IA
Their and native mother, and when Ad-
mlral Dewey sailed into Manila harbor
