Washington, Jan. 19. The supreme
court has handed down a decision in
which it maintains that federal courts
may, at the request of immigration
officers cancel and annual American
citizenship granted to aliens who have
been given naturalization papers.
This decision makes particular re
ferenee to the cases that are suspect
ed of being fraudulent and advises
and empowers the courts to use. their
discretion according to the evidence
presented in deciding for or against
an applicant seeking admission.
In the past, men have sent their

Comes to an End at W. G
Allen Home.
The G. W. A.llen home of this city
was the scene of. a noteworthy gath
ering of three sisters who had not
seen each other in 35 years. Mrs. I.
O. Jones of Seattle, Mrs. G..W. Allen
and Mrs. O. S. Allen of this city are
the happy sisters who are reciting
some of the dear old times back in
New York where they first saw the
light of day. They are 72, 74, and
68 years of age respectively and ap
pear to be good for many years more.
They are descendants of an old New
England family .and come from one
of the hardiest of families. ' They
have been in the west varying peri
ods of time, but have never seeb each
other in the time indicated.
Mr. Allen some years ago met his
brotner whom he had not seen in 55
years. Owing to their longevity they
need not be alarmed about an oppor
tunity to see their kith and kin.

In the Enterprise schools, nearly

Mrs. F. S. Bramwell's condition

Marshfield, Or., Jan. 19. A wire
less was received this noon stating
that the crew- of the steam schooner
Yellowstone, bereft of her main and
mizzen,masts, with her fuel gone and
minus her; rudder, lay helpless . 18 ;
miles off the coast of Coos Bay. She
refused to take the tow line of the
steamer Catana, which lay by all
night waiting to give her assistance.
It is presumed the captain of the
Yellowstone was of the opinion that
he could make port without the aid
of another vessel and could thus save
the salvage charge. . . The Catan
proceeded on htr way, but the steamer
Chatham lay by in an effort to be of
assistance. ':
The news of the Yellowstone's
plight was brought here by the steam
er Fair Oaks, which had abandoned
the plan of towing the disabled craft,
owingrfo a shortage of fuel and wat
er. '
How Much For One Drink.
Texarkana, Jan. 19. Up to today
no applications for saloon license had '
been received by the city fathers of
Marked Tree, Ark. Said city fathers
do not expect that any will be made,
in view of the fact that S20.000 is the
fee asked ,by the city council. Added
to the high cost of running a saloon
at Marked Tree, is the statute re- '
quiring ' a saloon to close at nine
o'clock in the evening. 1 Marked Tree
residents who nvght take an oc
casional nip if a saloon' should open
under these difficiuties, are wonder-:
ing how much they would have to
pay for one highball or cocktail when
a license costs $20,000, if such con
coctions sell for fifteen cents or two-for-two-bits-
under a $300 license.
