Decision in Test Cases
Wellington, Nov. J J (My A. I'.
Japanese rnniiot I lifltuMllwd lit the
l'nlted Hfate a ml cannot become cltl
rens of this country, In supreme
court of the lTnlted Htntea decided to
Ay, In Ita tint construction of federal
atatutea bearing on tha aubjeet- Th
decision waa the first delivered by
Justice Sutherland a a member of
tha court ami wui handed down In
eaae l.rmi((ht by Tnkno Ozawa, who,
In 1H, ott'',t 'or citizenship In
I laws II.
Tho rullt.g la expected to attract
wide attention not only In tha l'nlted
Htatee but abroad, notwithstanding
Urn failure of tha court to make any
reference to Ita diplomatic alg
r.lflciince, Th cava hua been Ions
landing In tha supreme court and lust
term when ranched for argument dur
ing tha conference on limitation of
rmaniant and far eastern questions,
ita consideration waa postponed at
tha rc'iuent of tha Pcpartnicnt of Jus
tic. No reference la to be found In the
doclulon to tha "gentlemen'a" agree
ment under which Japanese Immlgra
Hon Into tha country ban bean regu
lated. Two Csse Heard.
Tha government did not object to
tha argumont of the case when It waa
reached at thl term, and the court
advanced nnd hoard at the same time
tha caae brought by Takujl Ilamnalv
Ita and Charles Hlo Kono, against the
neoretary of atute of Washington, In
tha latter case the two Japanese hud
been naturalized by a superior court
o( Washington prior to 190(1, the date
of tha present Mora! naturalization
atatute, and flt a time when it wn
conceded aectlon 2169 of Uie revlaed
.miiiiea which restrlcta naturalization
ia "free white neraona," and thoae of
African' birth or descent, waa In full
force.
In the Oznwa ens the court stated
that "there ta not implied oither in
tha legislation or In our interpreta
tion of itany suggestion of indi
vidual un worthiness or racial infer
lorlty. These considerations are in
no manner Involved."
It alHo referred to the "complimen
tary" tcrma used In describing in the
papera preaented to the court, "the
culture and enlightenment of the
Japanese pooiile."
WUI of Congress.
With such an eatlmate, the court
Ud. It bad "no reaeon to disagree."
Such matters, however, Juatlca Suth
erland stated, could not enter Into the
declaion of the caae.
We have no function In the mat
ter." be aald, "other than to ascer
tain the will of congress and declare
It." The two questions decided by the
court were whether the general natur
nllzntlon act of June, 1900, waa limit
ed by the provision of aectlon 2169
of the statutes, authorizing the natur
alization of free white persona and
those of African birth and descent and
w hether, tf ao limited, Japanese were
eligible to naturalisation. In an ex
haustive analysis of the lilstory of
the Ionization the court held that sea
t on 219 waa In full force, and that
under it Japanese could not obtain
citizenship In this country.
The court stated that "In all natur
alisation acts from 1790 to 1906, the
privilege of naturalization waa con
lined to white persona with the addi
tion, In 1870, of those of African na
tivity and descent, although the exact
wording of tha various statutes waa
not alwaya the same."

Plymouth, Knglntid, Nov. 13. ity
A, 1'.) Keeling la unusually bitter In
Viscountess Amor's campaign here.
She Is having a hard fight to retain
her seat and there has been remark
able display of heat. Personalities
and abuse have driven party policies
Into the baclcgraund. One charge
which the voters have brought
against I. nly Astor, and which counts
In this community of working men,
la her stand on Manor. The fav6rlte
epithet of tboae who oppose her la
"Pussyfoot," and her opponents use
the word a though It were a crime.
"I am not trying to take away any
one'a beer," Is Lady Astor'a answer,
"I want to give the voters freedom
to control the drink trade;' the brow
era too often control trade in politics,"
Tha vlacountesa sava she would not

trade without compensation. The real
struggle la between her and her in'

danger that the country will be ruled
by "a minority of the minority,

the party represented by Lord Salis

reactionaries, who would ruin ins

noned mostly of business placea and
people engaged in business thera who

Douelas. Farnam and Tenth streets.
The company travels approximately
100 salesmen, who visit every part of
the United States with its jobbing and
manufacturing lines.
The Burgess-Nash company oper
ates one of the finest and most mod
ern department stores In the central
west. The concern Is but seven years
old, but in that time It has Jumped
from an obscure business to Its pres
ent commanding position, recently
completing a handsome new addition
to the old buildings which practically
doubled Its floor space.
Outlook Bright.
It os pointed out that the new ar
rangement whereby M. h. emun
A Co. becomes owners of the Bur

1,000 Killed. '
Santiago, Chile, Nov. 13. (By A. P.)
Relief forces to aid the thousands
made homeless by the earthquakes
throughout Chllo early Saturday
morning; and the flooding wavoe which
followed the shocks were being mqbi
lined today. The death toll will prob
ably be at least 1,000, it is estimated,
and the property loss will run Into
the millions, as several towns were
almost entirely wiped out and heavy
damage to buildings and communi
cation lines and particularly ships
along the 1,400 miles of coast affected
by the huge wavea haa resulted from
the violent upheavala of nature.
The extent of tha casualties, prop
erty damages and distress wrought
by t'he catastrophic disturbances haa
not yet been learned, except In a
gefieral way, ai many communication
lines, both overland and under water,
were put out of operation.
500 Killed at Vallenar.
Five hundred persona were reported
killed at Vallenar and In the district!
surrounding the city. At Coqulmbo at
least 100 are known to be dead. The
damage from the succession of earth
shocks, which filled the population
with terror, was heaviest in the north
ern provinces of Antogasta, Atacama
and Coquimbo.
All along the coast ships were swept
on shore, pounded against the rocka
or left high and dry. At many email
porta wharves and quaya were de
stroyed. '
The tidal waves which followed the
earthquakes Indicated a glgantlb dis
turbance beneath the Pacific. The
waters first were drawn away from
ahore, far below the low tide rrjark,
and then they came rushing back In
a great wave which some observers
said was 60 meters in height At
Antofagnsta this movement of the
sea was repeated five times, until the
city was battered almost to ruins and
the entire population fled to the hills.
Severe Tremors.
The tremors were eo aevere that
some of the selsmographa were put
nut of mieratlons. Th total dura
tion of the shocks was three hours
and 40 minutes and the estimated
radius l,:0l kilometers In a direction
transversal to the Andes. The
meteorological Institute announced
that tha earth shock coincided with
the pasoage of a sun spot over the
central meridian of the solor body.
Th sun sp t made Its appearance on
November 6 and was the largeat ob
served this year.
At Valparaiso, It was pointed out
by Bear Admiral Martin, director of
th navy meteorological service, that
the earthquake came Jimt as the con
junction cf Mereuryand Jupiter and

The Silver Lining in the Clouds
Tax Injunction
Against County
Asked by Banks
Financial Institutions Claim
Assessments Greatly Exceed
Figures Provided by Ne
braska Statute
Two national banks of Omaha
asked federal court yesterday for lie
Junctions to prevent M. L. Endres,
county troae.tuer. and Frank Dewey,
county clerk, from taxing the shares
of tha banks' stock at a greater' rate
than 25 per cent of the mill rate
levied upon real esla'e In Douglas
county.
The court action Is based on a re
vised United States statute which pro
hibits tho asuessment of taxes on
shares of stocks of national banks at
a greater rate than Is asessed on
other moneyed capital In the hands
of individual citizens. The Nebras
ka state i-tatute provides that bank
shares shall be Jliated as tangible
property and taxed accordingly.
The hanks bringing these bills of
complaint are the Stock Yards Na
tional of South Omaha, which holds.
Its tax should be $2,180 instead of the
IS. 711 levied, and the United States
National, which objects to a $6,970
levy against It, contending that It
should be one fourth that amount, or
$1,743.
Rdgar M. Morsman, Jr., the at
torney who filed these two suits,
stated that similar suits will be
hrought by all national banks In
Omaha as soon as papers can be
drawn. National banks in Norfolk,
North Platte, Grand Island, Hayings,
Lincoln and Fremont, and possibly
In other Nebraska cities will follow
suit In the Immediate future. Mr,
Morsman ald.
It was stated at the recent state
bankers' convention her" that state
banks would also bring suits, should
th rational banka b sueceseful In
theirs.

Board of Trade
Attacks Grain Act
Affidavits by Political Econo-
mists Charge Futures Law
Harmful to Farmers.
Chicago, Nov. ID. Affidavits of 14
prominent professors of political econ,
omy declaring enforcement of the fed
eral act regulating trading In grain
futures would be harmful to the farm
er were filed in federal district court
by counsel for the Chicago Board of
Trade, wlalch alleges the law l un
constitutional. The hearing of the
suit and the board's application for
an Injunction to prevent enforcement
of the terms of the act was continued
until Tue.sduy, pending a conference
of counsel for the board and the gov
ernment, which may result In taking
the case directly to the United States
supremo court.
The breadth of the case and tho
bulk of the board's evidence were said
to be so extensive that It might re
quire a year to present the board's
side of tho matter. The board charges
that the act attempts to regulate as
Interstate commerce, trade that Is
wholly state, and that It gives undue
power to the secretary of agriculture.
The original Capper-Tincher act was
held unconstitutional In the case
brought by Individual members of the
board. In this -caae the board la the
complainant against the new act.

Wet and Cold Beginning to
Nip Toes Bring or Send
Contribution to The
Omaha Bee.
They've been looking ttor this day
those wistful little children of the
very poor.
Their shoes haze been In tatters
for weeks. It didn't matter ao much
while the weather waa warm. They
went barefooted. But now, wet and
cold nip their toes and endanger their
health.'
The Omaha, Bee'e free shoe fund is
their only hope, and they've beeen
waiting for It to open.
So today ia the day.
Every dollar you give to this fund
goes to buy shoes for aome desperate
ly needy child. Not a cent to "over
head expenses." Nobody gets any
pay In connection with this fund.
Each case ia investigated by the
child's school teacher. She makes her
recommendation to ' Truant Officer
George Carver. He gives the child
an order for a pair of shoes and the
shoes are paid for out of the fund.
Tf you can help start the ball rolling
send or bring your contribution to
Free Shoe Fund, The Omaha Bee.
Checks may be made out just that
way.
