 City of Seattle this morning from an extended vacation trip on the
 outside, having left Skagway in com pany with his family on January
 I1th last. After short time spent
 in Seattle with the parents of MT. Fickhardt, the former, in company
 wlth their son George, joined the party and they all proceeded to San
 Francisco by boat. Leaving San Francisco by auto the 1260 mile
 run to Prescott, Arizona, via Los

Aliens Barred from Public Works

Albany, u. Y, Feb. 25.-The State
Court of Appeals to-day upheld the
constitutiOnality Of the State law
prohibiting the employment Of aliens
on public works and providing for
the forfeiture of contracts on which
alien labor is employed. The dccis-
ion was given in a taxpayers suit
instituted to test application Of the
law to the employment of aliens in
buildings and subways under con-
struction in New York city.
The opinion asserted that the Leg
islature had declared that the monies
OF the State should go to the people
Of the State.
Equal protection Of the law is
due to aliens as to citizens" it con-
tinued, "but equal protection does
not mean that those who have no in
tcrest in the common property Of the
State must share in that property on
the same terms as those who have an
interest"
