JAPS BORN HERE
GIVEN RIGHT To.
POSSESS LANDS
California Decision
Punches Hole in State
Anti-Alien Law.

Marysville, Calf. March 9.-Right
Of two American born japanese "cti-
zens to possession of land purchased
for them by their father, a native Of
Japan, was upheld in . decision said
to be the first of it's kind in Cali
fornia.
The decision was rendered by
case of the state of California against
.Jusuke Shingu and his two minor
children, Sunni Shingu and Kiyako
Shingu. The land in question was pur-
chased for $3O,5OO from G. L. and
Mary Douglas, in Sutter county, in
April. 1919.
Attorney General Z. S. Webb sought
to have the property eschew to the
state ON claim of fraud and violation
Of the California anti-alien land law
in the purchase of the land.
Judge Mcdaniel. who declared that
he favored the anti-alien land law. and
always had held that it was consti-
tutionaI, said that under the constitu-
ton any American born person has the
right to possession in the United
States of property, in his own right,
In regard to the purchase of the
land by the father, Judge Mcdaniel
said that proof of fraud was not CON
elusive, that Jusuke Shingu did not
try to take possession, but the law
does not say he cannot advance the
purchase price for the benefit of his
children, who, as American citizens,
are not under the disabilities which
stand in his way"
Before the decision was rendered,
Attorney General. Webb stated that
should the court hold the transaction
to be within the law. it would be easy
to conceive of rapidly expanding Jap
