JAPANESE
BARRED As
CITIZENS
v. S. Supreme Court Holds
Race ls Neither white"
Nor african"
BY International News Service. :

Japanese are not of the
white" race and under Federal
laws are not entitled to citizen
ship by naturalization, the United
States Supreme Court today de-
cided.
The opinion of the court sets
at rest a vigorously contested
dispute which arose on the Pacific
coast and has waged there for
years.
Associate Justice Sutherland
delivered the decision of the
court, it being his first opinion
since Becoming a member Of the
court.
Upholds State Court.
The Supreme Court held that the
Federal statute limiting citizenship ia
free white persons and Africans or
those OF African descent had not been
repealed or modified by any subse
quent legislation, and that japanese
are not of the Caucasian race.
The court affirmed a decision by
Washington State courts holding this
opinion.
Decision as to the color" of a
japanese and eligibility to naturaliza'
tion as a citizen of the United States
under a Federal statute limiting
naturalization to white persons and
Africans or those Of African descent
was asked of the United States
Supreme Court in the appealed cases
Of Takao Ozawa. of Honolulu, and
Yamashita, of Washington State
These cases have attracted much at
tention, especially on the Pacific
coast where the japanese question
Is acute.
Ozawa contended ne was entitled
to citizenship because he Ia white
and had nodded his life according
to American ideals and customs
He began his fight for citizenship
before the United States Court In
Hawaii several years ago, but his
contention was denied by this court
and by the Federal Circuit Court
of Appeals in California.
Ozawa went to Hawaii when q
young man and was educated al
American public schools. He mar
ried and his children are being
educated as Americans, and are
American citizens.

by International News Service.

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Nov.
13.-A sensational conflict in tes-
timony developed today in the in
vestigation of the murders of the
Rev. DR.. Edward Hall, rector OF
the Protestant Episcopal Church
of st. John the Evangelist, and the
beautiful choir singer, Mrs. James
Mills.
Affidavit Offered.
Mrs. Nellie Low Russell. a color
ed woman, living near Mrs. Jane
Gibson, self-claimed eyewitness OF
the tragedy. reiterated her story
that Mrs. Gibson was calling at her
home at the hour on the night of
September IA when Mrs. Gibson
claimed to have seen the woman
in gray" and a man compSnion at
the scene of the crime. and to have
heard shooting.
Mrs. Russelfs story, told in affi-
davit form, has been turned over
to Deputy Attorney General Wilbur
counsel for Mrs. Hall, the widow.
Gibson's story. and IL II stands 1t
ready has baffled detectives for
more than eight weeks.
Mrs. Russell said that about 9:f5
o'clock on the night of September
II she was preparing to go to bed
and was winding her alarm clock
when she heard a dog barking, and
upon going to the door, saw Mrs.
Gibson. She said that they sat
down and talked for about fifteen
minutes, Mrs. Gibson telling of the
theft of her dog. Mrs. Gibson. &c.
cording to the affidavit, blamed q
Hungarian for taking the dog and
told of going to the Hungarian's
home, where she seized the animal
by force. She feared the Hun.
garian would have her arrested,
and wanted to talk to Mrs. Russell
about II.
Went Home With Her.
Mrs. Russell said she accompanied
Mrs. Gibson to the latter's home,
and when she returned II was
nearly IL o'clock. A short time
ago, Mrs. Russell added, she told
her story to John Sylvester, Pat.
rick Thornton, and Lewis Saphyr.
Mrs. Russell works in a New
York city dressmaking shop and
said today that she always kept
her alarm clock from fifteen to
thirty minutes fast so that she
would be sure to get to the rail.
way station In time to catch her
train in the mornings.
Thornton admitted that Mrs. Rus
sell had told him OF Mrs. Gibson's
visit about a week ago, but that
he didn't pay any attention to II
and dismissed II from his mind.
There was neighborhood gossip
about that time that Mrs. Russell
ana Mrs. Gibson had duarreled
over a pig. Mrs. Gibson raises pigs
on her farm and is known locally
AZ the pig woman"
"On Sunday Mrs. Russell came
over and told me that she had had
quarrel with Mrs. Gibson, that
Mrs. Gibson had assaulted her and
ordered Mrs. Russell off the farm"

180 NAVY
YARD MEN.
MUST co
Workers Will Lose Jobs. on No.
vember 70, According to
Announcement.

Further reduction Of the work
ing force at the Washington navy
yard will take place on November
23 when 180 skilled machinists
will be dropped, it was officially
announced today.
Capt. J. H. Dayton, commander
of the yard, explained that the
men will be dropped because OF
lack of work.
Still further reductions are
planned during the winter, and
the present force of approximately
5000, is expected - to be cut to
about 1000.
Union Head Protests.
| Vigorous protest against the lat.
est reduction ordered was registered
today with Captain Dayton by N.
p. Atlas. chairman Of the Fourth
District of the international Associa.
ton OF Machinists.
"The Navy Department IL paving
the way for disaster, Mr.. Alias
declared. by discharging hundreds
of skilled workers at time when
they can go to other cities and get
settled in private establishments that
nav more than the local Navy Yard.
the Navy Department is losing it,
hold on men who cannot be re-
placed.
I'm the event of an emergency, It
would be impossible to recruit the
yard to wartime strength with men
who could turn out the work that
the men being discharged could
handle"
Mr.. Alifas announced that the
machinists' association will begin
at once to seek support In Congress
of the Hull bill, now pending. to re-
uuire all government work now be-
ing let out to private corporations.
by contract, kept in the navy yards
and arsenals.
Even though II be necessary to
make a sacrifice and do the work at
a cost a little higher than the out.
side bidder. such a course would be
justified" Mr.. Alifas said.
Yard Can Find Work.
The fact is that many Govern
ment Jobs are now being done by
private contract that could be done
cheaper and better at the Navy
yards.
by keeping these skilled work
ers busy during the slack season.
they would be kept on the rolls and
be available for important duty
should the emergency arise.
Mechanics do not like to move
from town to town. Once estab-
lished, they want to stay there.
The Navy Department has driven
hundreds Of men away from Wash
ington. They had no difficulty in
getting better Jobs elsewhere. Moth
ing will induce them to come back.
