QUEER ANTT-ALIEN LAW CASE

Riverside had purchased. for his
three small children" a very attrac-
tive and valuable home

represents himself as guardian" TO
the minors, and declares the invest
ment is for them and is made with
their money.
Now, the twist in the legal knot is
the fact that the three children we're
born in America and never lived any
where else, hence Harada claims
that they are American citizens.

sort. in California or in any other
state

and an anti-alien law fOrbidding
Asiatic aliens from purchasing or
owning real estate in the state linn
its: that is the situation in a nut
shell. a three-cornered, acute-angled
proposition over which the Califor-
MIA courts are going TO look wise and
split legal hairs.
The state will probably make out
a case of collision Oh the part of
Harada and his wife u evade the
law by a pretense at guardianship,
while the property is in verify theirs.
In this fact can be esta blished. the
states case is clear; but the proof OF
il is not an easy matter. sor the Jap
is willy and resOurceful, and his
ways are quite as peculiar" as are
those OF the heather Chinee"
1t seems a little odd that. when
alien laws. she should not have pro-
vided for just this contingency. for
she had before her eyes the danger
point-namely. the born
1 japanese child. Now. in the case in
hand. she must prove one OF two
things: That Harada was merely US
ing the children as a blind for his
ownership. or else that those foreign.
blooded children. though born in
this country, are not American cit
liens.
IL is an interesting case, taker
from either angle.

got along fine with their bridge.
Near the other edge OF the swamp
Osyer says a Confederate bullet just
