JAPS MAY HOLD
CALIFORNIA LANDS

Superior Court Decides orisntais Nhs
Wsrs Born in State May Acquire
and Hold Real Estats-cass Brought
20 Test Validity Of Law Barring
Japanese.
Riverside, Cal, Sept. 1S,-Japaness
born In California may acquire and re-
tain title to real estate and no VIOLA
ton OF the alien land law results. 40
cording to an opinion handed down to-
day by Judge Hugh H. Craig. Of the
superior court here, in the case OF the
people of the state Of California Va NJ.
Harada. This was considered test
case.
The case was the first arising from
an alleged violation Of the California
alien land law.
This law prohibits persons not eligi-
BILE to citizenship from acquiring real
estate in California, except to the ex-
tent and for the purposes prescribed
by treaty and with a further exception
in favor Of leases for agricultural pur-
poses not exceeding three years.
After the enactment of the law
Jukichi Harada, Japanese, bought .
lot in a residential neighborhood in
Riverside and had the deed issued to
Mine. sunni and Yoshizo Harada, his
three minor children. They were born
in the United States and were there
fore citizens and entitled to hold real
estate.
People living in the neighboehood
objected to the Japanese occupying
the property and a committee waited
upon Haraia with an OFFER TO buy the
lot from him at a price above that
which he had paid He declined to sell.
explaining 1t was the kind OF a neigh
borhood in which he wished to bring
up his children.
The state, later. thru the attorney
generals office. brought suit 70 have
the property declared escheated to the
L. Lewinsohn. deputy attorney gen.
eral, who represented the state in the
litigation. that Harada had the deed
issued to his children merely as
subterfuge to evade the law. Harada
insisted that in having the deed issued
to his children he made them an out
right and unconditional gift of the
property. This was the issue involved
in the decision handed down today.
The question Of the coristftutionaIity
OF the law was raised in preliminary
hearing and-the court held it was con-
stitutional.
The superior court in California IS
the court Of first instance, there being

suRn WILSON'S WORDS.
Suffrasists Seorn Promise Of President
as Empty Words.

Washington. Sept. 1T am, as /
think you know, heartily in sympathy
with you. have endeavored to assist
you in every way in my power and !
shall continue TO do so. l will do all l
can 10 urge the passage of this amend
ment by an early vote
This was President Wikon's reply to
democratic women of the National
American Women Suffrage Association
who went to the White House yester-
day TO ask him to use his influence to
bring about a vote on the federal suf-
frage amendment before the November
elections.
Two hours afterward. before a crowd
of 1000 cheering pen and women. Miss
Lucy Branham Of the National Wom-
ans party stood on the. base of the La
fayette statue. opposite the White
House. and burned a scrap of paper
containing the presidents words.
To-day" said Miss Branham, the
chairman of the rules committee OF the
senate. a spokesman of the admin
istration. stated that suffrage was not
on the program for this season and
that the senate was hoping to recess
in a. few days for the autumn cleo
ton campaigns without taking UP any
other measure.
TODAY the chairman Of the woman
suffrage committee in the senate and
spokesman of the, senate announced
that he would not even call the suf-
frage committee together to consider
taking a vote" she continued. This
session is nearing its close. and the
president and his party refuse to take
any effective step toward the passage
of the suffrage measure.
I'VE therefore take these empty
words spoken by President Wilson this
afternoon and consign them to the
flames. This is a symbol of the indig-
nation of American women at the treat
ment given b: the president TO their
plea for democracy.
