That basic traffic conditions in the

automobile to every Az persons.
Washington's population has in
creased 10000 in the last decade,
nearly 33 per cent, equal to it's entire

Orderly on Duty at Hospital
Days While Small lpox Victim,
Emergency EmPloye Mingled With Pa
tients and Doctors While Suf-

w. j. Johnson, a colored orderly at
Emergency Hospital, conversing with
a patient he was attending last

CURB ALIEN RIGHTS
IN Z NEW RULINGS
Supreme Justices Deny In
eIigibIes Can Hold Stock
in Land Concerns.

Two more decisions upholding ef-
forts to curtail the land rights Of
aliens in California and Washington
were returned today by the Supreme
Court
In one decision the court held that
under the alien land laws of the two
states recently held valid by the
highest tribunal, aliens ineligible to
citizenship cannot own stock in a
land-owning corporation
In the other it was decided that
aliens who cannot own or lease land
are likewise barred from entering
into contracts with landhoIders for a
division Of crops.
The stock-owning decision was in
the case brought by Raymond l..
F'rick and n. Satow against Caiifor-
MIA state officials. Frick owned stock
In a corporation authorized to buy and
sell agricultural lands, which he desired
to sell to Satow.
The federal district court for north
eIn california had held stock owner
snip ir> an agricultural corporation
constituted an interest in agricui-
turai lands prohibited by the alien
land laws.
Question Involves Stock.
The Supreme Court having recently
sustained the right of a state to pre-
scribe the conditions under which
aliens may own or lease land, the
only question remaining for decision
in this case was whether stock in a
land holding corporation owned by an
alien Ineligible to citizenship consti-
tuted ownership of land prohibited by
the alien land laws. The Supreme
Court he'd that 1t did.
The second decision brought to an
end a case lodged against Cali
fornia officials by J. ]. O'Brien and ].
1nouye. O'Brien made a contract with
Inouye to farm certain land, agreeing
to share the crops with him. The fed
eral district court for northern Cali
fornia had held the contract valid in
that it did not vest in Inouye any in
terest in real estate. but merely made
him an employe, whose wages were
paid in crops instead of in money.
In this view the Supreme Court dis
agreed. holding that the cropping
contract was in effect substantially
the same as leasing of land to in
eligible aliens, which had been held
invalid.
