HIGH CASTE HINDU
BECOMES CITIZEN
United States Judge Decides
Akhay Kumar Mozumdar Is
a "Free White Person.

SPOKANE, Wash, May 3.-Akhay
Kumar Mozumdar, a Hindu Of high
caste, became today citizen OF the
United States. He is the first Of his
race 10 whom citizenship has been
granted. Two years Of litigation 10
that end was brought TO close when
United States District Judge Frank II,
Rudkin held that Mozumdar was "a
free white person, and entitled 20
American citizenship.
Mozumdar is native OF Calcutta,
India. and a yogi philosopher. His ap.
plicaton for citizenship previously had
been denied by Judge Rudkin The case
was reopencd when the court appointed
outside counsel 10 investigate. ~Prevl-
Gus legal rulings were looked into with
little avail. Few instances OF Hindus
applying for citizenship have ever come
up before the naturalization depart
ment. Mozumdsr's s eligibility to citizen
ship hinged on the question whether he
is a "free white person. as used in
the original naturalization act.

BOISE, Idaho, May 3.-The refusal
Of the last legislature in this state to
make biennial appropriation for the
maintenance OF the department OF i'm.
migration, labor and statistics, thereby
indirectly setting aside provision OF
the state constitution, has raised an i'm
portant issue in Idaho, which has been
carried to the supreme court for set,

tistics, and confirmed by the senate.
but left with a long title and without
q salary, has petitioned the supreme
court for a writ of mandamus to com.
pei State Auditor Fred l., Huston to
pay his salary Of 5000 per month after
tho auditor refused TO do so. Argu-
ment was heard on the petition and the
issue placed in the hands of the court
for decision, which is still pending
For number of years electors in
this state have been dissatisfied with
the work carried on by the department
of immigration, labor and statistics. a
general impression prevailed that the
department was not giving the state
value received to warrant the ependi-
ture. The issue became of such i'm.
portanco that the recent legislature re
fused to make biennial appropriation
for the department, although Governor
| Haincs had appointed Major Reed head
! of the department and the senate had
confirmed the appointment
In order, however, TO provide for the
newly appointed commissioner, the leg

commissioner of immigration, labor and

The question then arose as TO the

tion, labor and statistics Is created by
the state constitution. Reed and his
friends set NJ the claim that the legis.
latu?e, seeking 10 set aside this pro
viyiou Of the constitution 70 abolish
the office, acted Indirectly to accom-
plish this result by refusing a biennial
appropriation for maintenance. and
asserted that the legislative body had
exceeded its jurisdiction. He alleged
that If the legislature has this power
IL could indirectly abolish the office OF
governor, or the supreme court. or any
other department by refusing 10 make
an appropriation for maintenance
Acting on this theory. Commissioner
Reed applied To the state auditor for
his salary Of 5000 month. The auditor
refused 20 pay him. having as his de.
fcnqe that there was nothing TO pay
him with, as the legislature had failed
to make an appropriation for the de-
lpartment, and that the commissioner 3

Opinion of Court.

Judge Rudkin. in his opinion, says:
.'ln the original naturalization act
the expression free white persons was
doubtless primarily intended to include
the white eniigrauts from northern Eu.
rope. with which the congress of that
day was familiar. and TO exclude In
dians and persons of African descent or
nativity.
Beyond this perhaps congress had
no definite object in view. 1t could not
have foreseen the vast immigration
problems with which the government is
now confronted. or the difficulties which
might hamper and embarrass the courts
in the administration OF the law.
- But whatever the original intent
may have been. 1t is now settled BY
the great weight of authority, nj leasr,
that il was the intention of cou-
gress TO confer the privilege Of nat

One Of the giant struggles that Is

plish her undertaking As far as

of women are working today at tho

fathers make a portion of the llNlhR
expense for the girl worker. b"5
with determination and with a steady
nerve and with industry that few
men ever grasp she is striving 10
clirb it, efficiency and In salary
wage. Thousands Of other Womca
who are thrown out upon their own
resources are working at what IS
not considered living wage. She
lives chcaply, she denies herself
every luxury, she docs her own
laundry, her own repairing and Keeps
M her end OF the work. The man
who hires women workers has been
accustomed to pay her a smaller
salary than men-nOt because she
does less work, not because she Is
not efficient and trustWorthy-but
merely because she is a woman and
custom has said that the woman
is not entitled to the wage the man
receives. II is nothing more nor
,ne, than the struggle of woman to
make a place for herself. The girl
workers Of today are the pioneers
of their sex and they are making
the sacrifices that the customs Of
the country have ordained.
Women workers as a rule are
more trustworthy than men, they are
more economical, they take better
care of their health and of th''r
minds. and every avenue that IL
