DECISION HELD UP
in citizenship
FOR JAPANESE
'tMy Heart is American" Says
Takao 0zaWa, Making Own
Argument Before Court

Judge Sanford B. Dole today took
under advisement the application of
Takao 0Eawa, Japanese, for natural
ization as an American citizen. AS
far as u known, Ozawa's petition Is
the first of its kind to be accepted by
the local federal court. A further
hearing Of the petition will be held
Saturday, February IL.
Ozawa underwent lengthy exami.
nation by Judge Dole on points relat-
ing to American government, at the
conclusion of which the court an
nounced that He is all right, the only
question being that he is Japanese. "
Are you samurai?" asked Judge
Dole.
4 am not, but have a brother who
is, " replied Ozawa. II am pure jap
anese, but my heart is American"
0zawa said that in case of war be
tween the United States and Japan
he would be ready to fight under the
Stars and Stripes His reasons fei
wishing to become an American citi-
zen we're that he thought more of the
United States than Japan, that he had
received q better education in Amer
lea than in Japan, and that it was due
to this education that he was able to
support his family. He said he had
been in America 20 years.
Assistant District Attorney j. Wes-
ley Thompson protested against the
admission of Ozawa and cited several
cases from Washington, Virginia and
Massachusetts where similar petitions
had been denied. These were denied,
he said, on the ground that the laws
of the United States extend naturali-
zation privileges to free white persons
and persons of African descent and
African nativity" The Washington
case dealt with Japanese who was
an honorably discharged soldier of the
United States army.
Answering Mr.. Thompson, OZawa
said that it was the readiness and
willingness of man to become citi-
zen, and not his color, that should be
given weight in the application.
DO the Japanese regard themselves
as MongoIians?" asked the court.
Some of the scholars say that the
Japanese are not Mongolians, but are
a mixture of Malay and other races,
said Ozawa.
Ozawa is graduate of the Berke-
ley. CAL, high school and was stu.

SUGAR Up TO 4.2O
HIGHEST POINT
since OCTOBER

The sudden kiting Of sugar to 40,
the highest point it has reached since
the middle of October, provided ex-
citement today at plantation head
quarters, brokers' Offices and the
stock exchange The Jump from s4.075
to 4.20, coming after 9 period of weak
prices, sometimes less than four cents,
provided more food for speculation
mental, not financial-th any occur
renee since the war caused the first
big rise last fall
Up to this afternoon no word was
received to indicate the cause of the
rise. Some brokers believed 1t was
due to a heavy buying order from
Great Britain, others that it was be
cause of further damage to the Cuban
crop by heavy storms.
The first advance was made known
in a cable yesterday afternoon, when
the quotation was AT. News of a
sale this morning at 40 came about
10 o'clock this morning.
Those who neid the former belief
point out that it was six months ago
that England laid in its first big sugar
supply for the war and that it is
about time for this to be exhausted.
The others say that it has been known
for some time that Cuban crops were
being delayed by heavy rains and that
it is likely that another storm has re-
suited in further delay or. possibly
ruin.
Another theory, that bottoms are
lacking for transportation of the Gu
ban crop, was advanced by A. NJ.
NOVEL;, general manager OF the Sugar
Factors company. No word had been
received by Nit. NOVEL; from New
York up to this afternoon.
Although there was a general stiff
fening up in quotations on the stock
exchange, there were no sensational
advances. Brokers decided to wait
and see before making any import
ant moves. There is some expectan-

which are nine in number, with only
a dollar each. 1t gives outright to the
second wife one-third of the estate
and places the remaining two-thirds
IN her care, in trust for her own chill
dren, five In number.
William McCandless died December
% last, at the age Of 20 years. He had
been legally separated from his first
wife. The offspring Of that union, who
by the terms Of the will are virtually
disinherited, are Josephine McCand-

the Weld on the stock is approximately 8
per cent, and there is talk OF possible

is also pointed out that in this city a,
least speculative commitments, though
active, are more in the nature OF turn
overs than actual enlargement of the
speculative position. Brokers report a
great deal of in and out trading from

volume of collateral. incidentally, Phila-

WOULD HAVE COMMERCE BOARD
DECIDE ON RECEIVERSHIPS
Proposed to Give Commission Juris.
diction Over Carriers

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2L-Legislation
designed to give the Interstate Commerce
Commission Jurisdiction over receiverships
Of common carriers Will be proposed at
the next session of Congress. The COM
mission, while not itself suggesting this
measure, will support il.
This legislation will provide that no
railroad or other common carrier may
go into the hands of receivers until ap-
plication has been made to the commits
sion, and the latter has investigated the
need and causes for such action. All
parties interested in the carrying corpora
lions are to have ample opportunity to
express their views.
This move is the result of the Interstate
Commerce Commissions investigation
into the finances and physical condition
Of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
Railway. The commissions report in this
case alleged that the Moore Reid Leeds
syndicate forced the road into a receiver
ship which could have been avoided,
without the knowledge or consent of the
minority directors and stockholders.
