been heaped on Con X. O'Byrne-
who is Irish, as his name implies.
O'Byrne suspected that a Chinese
witness, being sworn in police court
did not realize the meaning of the
oath he was taking.
Sell Lung, known as the mayor"
of Denver's Chinatown, was the wit
ness. But O'Byrne didn't know this.
"China-boy save God?" he queried
as Lung took the oath.
Mr.. Attorney, if you mean do un-

Citizens of Germany Enjoy Same flights In Property
 as Native Americans.
ATTORNEY GENERALSO2lNicn
Hartford Banks, in Transactions With Aliens, Should Be Guided by Ad- vice of Their Own Counsel,
 Hinman Rules.

Hartford.-A bank may lawfully re- ceiVe money or lean money on mort gage security to citizens of Germany resident in this country, according to an opinion just given to State Bank Commissioner Everett J. Sturges by Attorney General George E. Hinman. The question was asked with regard to German who had taken out his first but not his second citizenship pa pers.
 The attorney general finds that the laws of Connecticut give to nonciti- zens the same rights in regard to prop erty as pertain to native born citizens and that the property rights of an alien are unaffected by the existence Of war by this country with the coun- try of which he is a national. In his finding he says that, generally speak ing, an alien enemy is a national of a country with which this country is at war or the subject of a country al- lied with one at war with the United States. Connecticut, however, does not require that such a persons prop erty rights be forfeited.
 The finding points out that such dis ability may be extended by the state, but since no such extension now pre- vails an aliens property rights are in full force. The finding says that so long as such an alien performs no deed of disLoyalty his rights remain unimpaired, and a bank in this state may continue to transact mortgage business legally with him. He adds, however, that trading with an enemy country is not permissible, as it has been prohibited by federal proclama- tion.
