Important Case
In U. S. Court
Judge Amidon Refused to Set
Aside Decision of Judge Craw-
ford on Question of Naturaliza-
tion-Says Would Set Bad PIE
cedent. ..

Fargo. Oct. 1.-Judge Amidon
filed written opinion today in
the case of United States VS.. Eli
zabeth Lenore. The case involv-
es question upon which the fed
eral courts have been in conflict.
Under the naturalization law of
1906. if a certificate of naturaliza-
ton is obtained by fraud" or is
illegally procured" suit may be
brought for its cancellation. The
defendant in this case, Mrs. Len
ore, obtained the certificate Of
naturalization as the result of a
hearing before Judge Crawford at
Medora. Her petition was signed
by her mark, and not in her own
handwriting" as the statute re-
quires. A special attorney Of the
department was present and OBJ
jected to the issuing of the certi-
flcate because the petition was not
properly signed. Judge Craw-
ford heard the objection, over
ruled it. and directed that the
certificate be issued. The present
suit was brought by the United
States in the federal court to have
the certificate cancelled upon the
ground that it was illegally pro.
cured" Judge Amidon refused to
cancel the certificate and dismise-
ed the bill upon its merits.
