Leyite V. Thibadeau Case

Mondays hearing before Chief JUS
tice Savage at HOulton in the case
brought by Attorney General VIM. r..
Pattangall in behalf Of the State for
the disbarment of Levite V. Thibadeau
Of Van Buren, as a practicing lawyer in
the State of Maine, presented some
peculiar phases. Judge Savage an
rounced Monday after listening to all
the evidence that he would render his
decision sometime next fall.
Thibadeau has been a practicing
lawyer and a member Of the Aroostook
county bar for over 20 years, exercis-
ing all the rights and privileges Of an
American citizen. It was shown that
the father of Levite-Vinol F. Thiba-
deau--was born in Grand Isle, remov-
ing later to ST. Leonard. n. b., where
in 1872 the son L4evite was born. Ninol
F., the father, served as justice OF
the peace while a resident of St Leon
ard, N. B., and the complainant claims
swore allegiance to Great Britain when
he took the Office. The defence claims
that this act did not affect his Ameri-
can citizenship, nor was sufficient to
make him a British subject.
The Thibadeau family moved back
tc Grand Isle when Levite was II
years Of age The defense contends
that the removal of the father to a
foreign country did not in the least af-
feet the citizenship of the son, as an
American citizen has the right to go
where he may choose and retain his
citizenship. Also that no act of a
father deprives a child of its citizen
ship and that a child, whose father
vas an American citizen and after
ward went to a foreign country has the
right to decide whom he may choose as
his sovereign, even though he may
have been born in foreign country.
The outcome Of the case will be
awaited with interest

POLITICAL GOSSIP
FROM WASHINGTON

Washington, May 3.-(SpeciaD-
Farmers all over this country are
considerably stirred up over rural
credits legislation" said a Southern
member of Congress. The idea has
come to be quite prevalent that the ad-
ministration has cold feet on the
rural credits proposition and that the
proposed bill, which has the backing
Of the President, is merely a make
shift and not what the farmers Of the
country want. My mail is filled with
protests from farmers, and other men,
bers tell me the same thing. 1t is be-
ing quietly whispered about, that the
administration, which two years ago
was in favor Of rural credits, has
grown lukewarm on the subject. The
farmers throughout the country are
not to be fooled and they are giving
the men who are back Of this rural
credits proposition some anxious mo-
ments. 1t is stated about the capital
that the plan was to pass a rural
credits bill just previous to adjourn
ment at this session, which falls far
short of the demands Of the farmers of
the country. l think it is mighty
good thing the farmers are smoking

ton"

nothing has been done. None Of the
