'PP THREE CENTS g3AlxglvAgD SI FORTY-SEVENTH YEAR No. 177 SALEM, OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 27, 1925 WW JV uBal apii oj & U U Lb COMMONER BURY BRYAN ARMENIANS HELD HIES I Decision Victory For Asia Minor People Eligible To Naturalization As Americans Portland, Or., July 27. (By Associated P r e s a.) Armenians are eligible to naturalization ae American citizens, Federal Judge C. E. Wolvcrton decided today. In the noted "Cartozian case," the judge handed down a decision that was an entire victory lor the Asia All nor people. As the entire proceeding was a teat case it ia expected that the government will anneal to the united Stateu supreme court. Under direction of former United States District Attorney John S. Coke, the federal govern ment had sued for annulment of the naturalization papers of Tatos 0. Cartuziau, a member of the lo cal firm of rug dealers. The case of the government was baaed on the assumption that Ar jneuiune are of Asiatic descent and therefore not eligible to natural Ization. Judge Wolverton, in a decision that took him 25 minutes to read held otherwise. The chief points he covered were: Of Alniiift Stock. 1 That Armenians in Asia Minor are o? "Alpine" Block and of European persuasion. 2 That they are white persons as- commonly recognized in speech of common usage and as popularly understood and interpreted In tin. country by our forefathers and by the community at large when the Jaw regarding naturalization was adopted by congress. 3 That they amalgamate read ily with the white races, inciud Ing the white people of the United States. Time Element Important. The time element was un Im portant feature, for the govern ment had asserted that, even if Armenians were considered white at nresent. they were not so classi. fled when the naturalization law nfl n.isseri. It was the intention of the ear!) legislators of the country to bar them, the government anegea. The decision took the opposite irlew. The action against Cartozian was ourely of a test nature and had no personal element In It, ac cording to the federal prosecutors. Fl F Quest by Sheriff Bower and hi6 deputies for some Information as to James W.

Mrs. C. E. Tuel, North Brooke avenue, has Bent a note Into the office of the sheriff containing in formation which she believes will bed some light on the mystery. She states that in 1916 a man named James W. Allen worked for her as a corpenter at North 20th and 1 streets.

II LEGALITY mm in mm Judge McMahan Refuses To Grant Writ Altho Admitting Flaws In the Present Law. Circuit Judge McMahan this morniiiff told attorneys in the Grant Mann haboaa corpus pro ceedings that there- is a very grave doubt ag to the constitutionality of the law covering commitments to the stato insane hospital he nevertheless overruled the demur rer of the petitioners to the states return on the writ. He took this procedure because of the grave seriousness of a sit uation which would exist If the statute were declared unconstitu tional, and Inasmuch as it Is a question which must be decided by the supreme court in me nnai analysis. In event the courts wore to de clare this statute unconstitutional it would mean that uunureus 01 persons who are now committed to the asvlnm would bo In the in stitution on invalid commitments and unquestionably an avaiancue of writs of habeas corpus would follow. These, no doubt, would necessi tate the calling of special session ot the legislature to remedy the defects in the statute if they ex ist," and Judge McMahan Inti mated very strongly this morning that such detects do exist. The present habeas corpus pro ceedings are brought by J. O. Mann ot Hillsboro to secure the release of his brother Grant Mann, committed to tho etntc hospital from Washington county.

T. Harney, cafe man, tooli the stand hore today in the trial of three men accused of plotting to kidnap Mary Pickford, film star, with a recital of the purport ed origin of the plot back In May. Harney, who said he had been a roommate of G. Z. Stephens, one of the accused trio, recounted con versations bet-ween the two which aought to alight on a means to 'pick up some easy money. He said they had discussed kid naping Pom Negri, film star, but abandoned the idea because they believed she did not have enough ransom money available to make it worth while.
