WASHINGTON, Oct 22.-An appeal In the Toop land case calling In question the constitutionality of the Nebraska alien land law was filed today In the su preme court. It la said to be the nearest aproach to the. California alien lnnd taw controversy which has ever been before the supremo court and on that account Us outcome will be awatted with keen Inter st. The Toop ense Involves the question of whtther William Toop nnd others, all British subjects residing In England, may Inherit an undivided two-thirds Interest" In the land of their uncle, John Toop, an Englishman who became naturalised and acquired" land near Ulysss, Neb. The Ulysses Land company claims title to the entire tract on tho ground that It pur chased the land from . those of John Toop's nephows, who were residents vi the United States. A Nebraska statute written In 1SS9 pro vides that land cannot bo acquired In that state by the descent or purchase by nonresident aliens, though It permits the widow or heirs of aliens to reside on tho land for ten years and sell It within that period or acquire It by becoming natural ised within that period. Judge Mungcr of tho federal district court of Nebraska held that the Toopj rtsldlng in England could not, occupy the land in question for tho ten-year period becauao .they wore the heirs of a "cltl len" and not of an alien. This Interpre tation, tho attorneys hold, makes the law violate that provision of the fourteenth amendment, which declares that no state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges of cltlsens of the United States. They also claim that the law violates the treaty between the United States and Great Britain of 1900, Judge Mungcr held, however, that tho treaty was not applicable because John Toop died the year before the trca(y went into effect I KANSAS CITY", Mo., Oct.
