After vainly searching for some legal precedent that would justify a different decision Judge Carter has refused to grant naturalisation papers to Lee Guy Dean, a Japanese who made applica. tion with a view to becoming a citizen of the United States. "The statute on naturalization." said Judge Carter, "reads that any free white man. or any native of Af rica, or any alien of African descent, may be naturalized, but that does not apply to Mongolians, and a Japanese is surely a Mongolian. The only decision bearing directly on the case which Judge Carter could find was cue mace bv a Massachusetts court, and that was to the effect that an application from such a course could not be granted.

That's alL The trouble first started between the captain, or to give his proper title, sailing mas ter, and the ice pilct, whose name is Amsen. The ice pilot took up his place in the crew's nest on the ship wken we were in the ice fields and should have had and eventually did have complete charge cf directing the ship. "The sailing master objected to the ice pilot holding absolute sway ever the movements at any time, and that is how the row began.

The pilot had had twenty-nine years' experience on the Ice fiefilds. while the sailing master had had practically none. "The expedition went away with forty-two persons on board and we brought back the same number.
