NO CONTRACT
FOR TEN-MILE
PROJECT NOW
Bids to Be Received To-
day But Entire State
Board Must Be
Consulted.

Although bids for the construction of
ten miles of the Pensacola -F'lomation
highway will be received by members of
the state road department at Tallahassee
today, no contract will be awarded until
the whole state board is consulted. That
was telegraphic message received from
Commissioner Jeff NJ. Harrington, who
is at the state capital with County En-
gineer Wheat, last night.
Practically every member of the board
cf county commissioners would have been
been in Tallahassee today when the bids
are opened but the message from Mr..
Harrington advised the members who in
tended leaving last night that their, pres
ence was not necessary at this time.
Commissioner II. E. Candy, however, left
for Tallahassee last night.
A general sense Of optimism prevails
among the county commissioners and in
terested parties that the contract for this
important stretch Of highway will be
awarded in the very near future, unless
some unseen and unexpected hitch de-
velcps. This is not anticipated, as all
plans have been approved and allotment
made.
Within thirty days after awarding Of
the contract, providing the usual rule is
adhered to; actual work on the highway
will begin. Beginning the tcn-mile stretch
at the city limits near Goulding. the
project, when completed. will give an
18-foot paved highway to Roberts.

Slight improvement Noted
In CheUGLier's Condition;
Well KnOIUn In Pensacola
nv Associated Pressl

NORFOLK, Va. Nov. 13.-Slight I'M
provement was observed at midnight to-
night in the condition of Lieutenant Com
nlander Godfrey de Chevalier. U. S. N,
who was seriously injured in an airplane
crash here Sunday morning. Physicians
at the public service hospital said that
he was not yet out of danger, however.
Hundred of friends in Pensac cola OF
Lieutenant Commander Godfrey de Chew
alier, remembered by his daring in flying
while stationed at the naval air station
will be pleased to know this morning that
even a slight improvement was noted in
his condition al midnight by the attend
ing physicians at the Portsmouth hos
pital.
Coming to Pensacola as an ensign, a
student aviator. when the station was
first converted into an aeronautical
school, Lieutenant Commander Godfrey
received his initial flight instruction here.
He is regarded as a pioneer in American
naval aviation and a flying ace who has
made numerous contributions by his ex-
pertness and daring to aviation.
He was stationed here at two different
times, once in 1914 and again for a short
time just before the United States en-
tered the world war. Throughout his as
signments here he was popular, not alcne
in service circles, but in civilian social
circles as we'll.
Lieutenant Commander Godfrey was
the first person to launch a plane from
a battleship. This was back in 1915 when
he piloted the plane shot from a catapult
aboard the old battleship North Carolina
Several weeks ago he made a successful
landing on the deck of a moving. battle
ship. This was his latest achievement and
marked a new epoch in aeronautcs.
Commander Chevalier crashed into a
marsh while returning to the aviation
ship Langley from the naval base at Nor
folk Sunday morning The steering gear
went bad. A plane in which his wife was
rushing from Washington tc his bedside
was forced to land on Chesapeake Bay.
1t was badly damaged by the waves but
its occupants were rescued later by naval
launches.

Be CITIZENS OF
UNITED
Supreme Court Gives
Decision Which Was
introduced in the
OzaWa Case.
(By Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.-Jspaness
cannot be naturalized in the United
states and cannot become citizens Of
this country, the Supreme Court Of the
United States decided today, in its first
construction Of Federal statutes bearing
on the subject. The decision was the
first introduced by Justice Sutherland
as member of the court and was hand
ed down in case brought by Takao
oza"a who in 1914, applied for citizen
ship in Hawaii
The ruling is expected to attract wide
attention, not only in the United States.
but abroad. notwithstanding the failure
OF the court TO make any reference TO
its diplomatic significance The case
has been long pending in the Supreme
Court and last term when reached for
argument during the conference on I'm
itation Of armament and Far Eastern
questions, its consideration was post
poned at the request Of the Department.
Of Justice. No reference is 10 be found
in the decision TO the "gentIemen.s
agreement under which japanese TN
migration into the country has been
regulated.
In the Ozawa case. the court stated
that there is not implied either in the
legislation or in our Interpretation Of
UmAUT-
thiness or racial inferiority. These con-
siderations are in no manner involved.
1t also referred to the complimentary
terms used in describing in the papers
presented TO the court, the culture and
enlightenment of the japanese peoples
With such an estimate, the court said
IT had no reason to disagree Such
matters. however Justice Sutherland
stated could not enter into the discus
sion OF the case. I'VE have no function
in the matter" he said other than to
ascertain the will Of congress and de-
clare it."
The two questions decided by the
court were whether The general naturau
zation act of June 29 1905, was limit
ed by the provisions of section 2le9 Of
, the revised statutes. authorizing the
naturalization Of free white persoDs''
and those of African birth and. descent,
and whether, il so limited Japanese
were eligible to naturalization In an
exhaustive analysis Of the history of the
legislation the court held that section
1853 was in full force, and that under
1t Japanese could not obtain citizenship
in this country
The court stated that In all Of the
naturalization acts from 1890 TO 1906.
the privilege Of naturalization was con-
fined to white persons with the addi-
ton in 1870 Of those Of African nativi-
" and descent) although the exact
wording OF the various statutes was not
always the same"
III Congress in 1906" it added, de
sired to altar a rule so well and so long
, established it may be assured that its
purpose would have been indefinitely
disclosed and it's legislation to that end
rut in unmIstakekab BILE terms"
Having sustained Section 2lG9 the
Court then proceeded TO discuss whether
Japanese are free white persons with
in the meaning of the Statute. II was
the intention of congress. the court held.
Ito confer the privilege Of citizenship
upon that class Of persons whom the
fathers knew as white. and 70 deny it
to all who could not be SO classified"
