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.

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.

ness, M. 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.
He told how a plan to kidnap
Jackie Coognn, Juvenile film star

cushion resumed in March of this

or allowing to be taught the sub

are in disrespect.
That no facts are alleged or
shown which are within the mean
I jig, of tho statute, which prohlb
