Japanese cannot ba natarallied In tha United States and can not become eltliens this country, the Supreme court ot the United Statea decided today, in lta first construction of federal atatutea bearing on the subject. The decision was tha first delivered by Justice Sutherland aa a member of the court and waa handed down In a eaae brought by Takao Ozawa, wne In 1914 aoDlied for ctt'xenshlp In Hawaii. The ruling la expected to attract wide attention, not only In the United States but abroad, notwlth standing the failure ot tha court to make any reference to ita diplomatic significance. The case haa been long pending In the Supreme court, and last term when reached for argu ment during the conference on limi tation ot armament and far eastern questloni lta consideration waa post poned at the request of the depart ment of justice. No reference is to be found In the decision to the "gen tlemen's agreement," under which .Japanese Immigration Into the coufpr try haa been regulated, 'fin Mention of Inferiority In the Osawa case the court tated that "there is not implied either In the legislation or In our In terpretation of It any suggestion of 'Individual unworthtness or racial in feriority. These considerations are In no manner Involved." It also re ferred to the "complimentary" terms used In describing In the papers pre sented to the court "the culture and enlightenment of the Japaneae peo ple." With such an estimate, the oourt said, It had "no reason to dis agree." Such matters, however, Jus tloa Sutherland stated, could not en ter Into the decision ot the case. "We have no function in the matter," lie aald, "other than to ascertain the will of Congress and declare it" The queatlona decided by the court were whether the general natural nation act of June 29, 1I0J, waa lim ited by the provisions i of . section Witt of the revised etatutes, author ising -the naturalisation of "free white persona" and thoae of African birth and descent, and whether, if so limited, japaneae ware eligible to naturalisation. In aa exhaustive an lalyals of the history of the legisla tion tha court held that aectlon 2189 Was In full force, and that under It Japanese could not obtain cltisen Whip la this country. The oourt stated that "in alt of the naturalisation acta from 170 to 1906 jtke privilege of naturalisation was tonflned to white persons (with the Addition In 1170 ot those of African rkatlvity and descent) although the ktxaot wording of the various Statutes was not always the same." "If Congress In 1901," It added, "desired to alter a rule ao well and lew long- established it may be as sumed that lta purpose would have ibeen definitely disclosed and Its leg islation to that and put In unmis takable terms." Ceragreaa May Changs Law Declaring that It Is the duty of the court "to give effect to the ln Itent of Congress" the opinion pro seeded to determine the Intent "by iglving the words their natural sig nificance." Emphasising tha long established policy of Congress to re strict naturalisation under Section SKI the court found It "Inconceiv able that a rule In force frem the be- 'ginning of the government, a part of our history as well as our law, weld- sa into tne etructure of our national policy by a century of legislative and administrative aots and Judicial de- lealana would have been deprived of .Its force In such a dubious and eaa ual fashion." Barring sustained seetton tilt the eourt then proceeded to discuss .whether Japanese are "free white persons" within the meaning of the I statute. It was the intention of I Congress, the oourt held, "to confer toe privilege of oltlsenshlp upon that suus of persona whom the fathers knew as white, and to deny It to all wno could not be ao olaaslfled." -it is not enough," it added, "to say that the tranters (of the law) did not have In mind the brown or yellow racea of Asia. It Is necessary to go farther and be able to aay that had these particular races been sug gested the language of the act would have been so varied as to Include them within Its privileges. It It be assumed that ' the opinion of the trainers was that the only persons wno wouia tail outside the designa tion wnno- were negroes and In.

There was an appreciative slackening today of the tension which prevailed dur ing the week-end over the suc cessive demands of the Kemalists for greater control of Constanti nople. Although no official an nouncement was made, It was stated In allied circles that sober reflection by the Turks has caused them to decide to make no further provocative gestures before the opening; of the Lausanne confer ence. Thus, while the situation con tinues uncertain. It is felt that the peril ot a rupture haa momen tarily been averted. The departure today for Lon don of Colonel Oribben, British chief ot staff, and the decision of Sir Horace Rumbold, the British high commissioner to leave Wed nesday for Lausanne is Interpret ed aa indicating an Improvement In the situation. Nevertheless, a persistent Impression prevails in some quarters that the allies may find it expedient to evacuate the capital before peace la concluded.

London, Nov. 13. The treatment of news dispatches dealing .with Secretary of War Weeks' declara tion to cancel the Honorable John William Fortescue's Invitation to apeak at West Point, Indicates that a large section of the British press thought the American secretary "blundered" because what the Eng lish historian said dealt with the war ot the Revolution. Considered editorial opinion, 'however, with one exception, aees the .incident In a dif ferent light and today's press deals none too kindly with Mr. ForteBcue. "The joke appears to be against the secretary of war," aays the Ex press, "until we come to the pas sage to which he objects and we are bound to agree with him. If any American ot repute Indulged in that form of criticism against -JDngllsh-men which Mr. Fortescue chose to employ In his book our war secre tary, too, would Be Justified In di recting that he should be barred from addressing our budding of fleers. It is reported Mr. Forteaoue haa abandoned his proposed lecture tour of America and we congratu. late him on his decision." Evening News' Opinion The Evening News thinks Mr. Fortescue's writings might have been ignored and considers the mat ter closed with the Englishman's jpnlogy. It says: The war secretary'a resentment Is natural enough, although it would have Involved no loaa to America'a national dignity if the historian's Indiscretions had been Ignored. , All danger of war, even a' wordy war, ought now to be removed 'by the handsome apology which Mr. Fortes cue had the good sense to make.

The British embassy is giving asylum to several hundred Turks of the old regime, Including many former ministers whose lives are In peril. N Meanwhile the economic situa tion grows worse; prices of food stuffs are steadily soaring; busi ness houses continue to suspend, their owners departing. Owing to the unwillingness of merchants to import further merchandise, supplies are running short; there Is only a 20 days' supply of the principal foodstuffs.

County Prosecutor Beekman, asso ciated with Mr. Mott In the case, an nounced tonight that it wouldn't Further postponement was neces sary, he said, because a new sheriff takes office tomorrow and will have to familiarise himself with the case before anything more can be done. The new sheriff, he said, probably will not be ready before Monday. On the heels of the announcemnt It waa learned that Henry Carpen der, cousin of Mrs. Francis Stevens Hall, widow of the slain rector, had suddenly been stricken ill today and ruahed to a hospital where he waa operated on for appendicitis. Physicians said he could not t be questioned for at least 10 days. Carpender Is one of the witnesses who has been frequently queatloned by Investigating officials and was to have met Mr. Mott In conference to morrow. Mr. Mott tonight denied reports that he was at outs with Foreman Qlbbs of the Somerset grand jury or that he had had dlfferencea with Prosecutor Beekman. At today's conference with Beekman the evl dence to be presented to the grand jury Thursday was prepared.

In her affidavit Nellie awore that she had been talking to Mrs. Gibson ths night ot September 14, at which time the pig raiser claims to have wit nessed the slaying of Mr. Hall and Mrs. Mills.

GILBERT (Coprriitt, 192 J, it MuMpoU Public Letter. I Washington, Nov. 13. President Harding has bad several conferences with varloua senators on the pros. poets of the coming session of Con gress and on the necessity or calling an extra session alter juarcn sin. Hla advisers have generally told him that an extra session cannot bs avoided. The President himself has admit. tei at times that his legislative pro. gram could probably not ba Sntshed before the members ot ths present Congress went out of offloe In March, But he has not yet committed Him self definitely to an extra session. though he Inclines to the opinion that one will be necessary. Two factors, according to the President's advlaers, will make an extra session necessary. One Is the heavy legislative program. Another la the doing of the progressives to force an extra session. The farmer legislation which have already described will take up a good deal of time. The adminis tration is committed to thla as the best means of lessening the power of the radical group headed by Sen ator LaFoIlette. Skip gnbaldy Cannes a right The ship subsidy legislation will cause a long fight. The President's only hope ot getting It through Con gress Is In the present session. The progressives will filibuster on It ss a means of delaying the appropriation bills and forcing an extra session: Then, too, the soldier bonus will un doubtedly be used by the progres sives as a means of delaying action in the coming session. Moreover, as a last resort the pro gressives will, . if necessary, block some of the appropriation bills themselves, so aa to make an extra session necessary. All these considerations nave been pointed out to the President by his advisers, who further said that there was nothing to gain from putting off till December, 123, the coming of the newly elected radioal members to Washington.' uy that time a na tlonal campaign will bs In sight and a row between the two factions of the Republicans then will do more harm than It will It It la permitted to come next spring, at least, so his advisers asserted. Those who Interpret Senator Me Cormlek's letter to Senator Lodge urging that the seniority system in the senate be abandoned as a sign that the radicals are to be placated aro mistaken. No one In the Presi dent's circle believes that the Republi can party can move ao far to the left as to satisfy LaFoIlette, Brookhart. Fraaler. Shlpstead and perhaps Norrls, Howell and Borah. Every move planned aims to hold and to satisfy the farmers and increase the Influ ence In the party of the bloo led by Senator Capper, possible support on tne farm system to be cut if possi ble from the bloo led by LaFoIlette. Eastern Republicans Weaken. A sign of the Impending western isation of Republican party control Is the failure of the eastern bankers and business men including Secretary Mellon to accomplish the appointment of Governor Harding to the federal reaerve board. President Harding la going as fsr west as St. Paul for the new need of the reserve board. The farm bloc In this Instance has won. , senator Mccormick a letter on tha seniority system of committee an. pointments in the senate Is not to be taken too seriously. The Illinois senator has a genius for the lime light Born of a newspaper family he Knows now to get on the front page better than anyone else In the unoer house. He never goes to Eurone but what reports come back that he Is a special emissary of the President. He walks Into the senate with his hands behind him like Napoleon and with hla head bent low as If with the weight of all the Ideas It contains. He steps slowly wrapped In thought. And, do not forget that Mr. Mc- Cormick is every moment of the time a candidate for the presidency. He takes his ambition seriously, which Is the only way to take It If you want to be President His strutting seems funny to those who see it but few of the 100.000,000 see It. The letter waa written before the election results became known. In fact when McCormlck, who waa man aging the Republican senatorial cam paign, was Impressed with the else (Contlnusd on Page Eight.)

IT Conservatives Will Control Next House of Commons. IS A MINORITY PARTY On Eve of Election In England Papers Are Doubtful As to the Result. MANY FAMILIES DIVIDED H. G. Wells, Labor Candidate, la ob ject Of the Greatest Cnrtosltr and Hla Meetings Draw Thousands. London, Nov. 18. (By Assoclted Press.) While all the newspapers of Great Britain practically concede that the conservatives will have the larg est group In the next house of com mons, If not a majority over all the others combined, even the liberal papers, which opposed the coalition, are In no wise satisfied with this prospect The Manchester Guardian which Is the strongest pillar of liberalism points out that the conservatives are a minority party and that there Is danger that the country will be ruled by "a minority of the minority," meaning the extreme wing of the party. It argues tha the section of the party represented by Lord Salis bury, the Duke of North Umberland and others like them is composed of reactionaries, would ruin the coun try it they had their way. "They are full blooded protection ists and a steadfast menace to our established commercial system," says the paper; "they are militarists and would land us In reckless foreign enterprises; they are for the rule ot force, and nothing but force. In In dia; they would restore to the lords the power of veto over the commons. The Guardian finds, In conclusion. the onlv security against them in Mr, Bonar Law, "who," it says, "himself Is a conservative, an Orangeman and protectionist, and whose health may not long stand the strain of his posl tion." Attack Mr. Lloyd George, Mr. Lloyd Geore's opponents accuse him of inconsistency, declaring that when speaking In a constituency where hla group Is most strongly op posed by a conservative candidate he says the greatest menace to the country Is reaction, but where tho opponent Is a Uborite he says the greateat danger Is revolution ana na aaults on capital.

The eonaervatlve organisation, which fears possible success for Mr. Devlin, Is making a thorough lanvass of the wives of the business men in this district to induce them to choose the business district Instead of the resi dential district as their voting place. Thus great uncertainty exists as to the outcome. The prophets believe that of the 83 women candidates about 10 are like ly to be elected. The two sitting members. Viscountess Astor and Mrs. Wlntrlngham, are regarded as almoat certainties. Portraits Are Displayed. The British custom is to display the portraita ot the candidates in the windows of houses, and this custom Is tending to kill tha theory that women generally vote as their hua bands do. In the manufacturing totwns In the midlands and north large proportion of the houses dis play pictures of two candidates, showing that the man la for one party and the wife for another.

Wells has been the greatest object of public curiosity; his meetings have proved great drawing cards. Mr. Wells' speeches have been a dlaap polntment to all but the Intellectuals. who are well represented In the party. Mr. Wells reads his speeches from manuscripts, and this style falls to thrill his hearers .most of whom want something more exciting and spon taneous than lectnres. Major John Jacob Astor, running at Dover as a conservative, suffers from the fact that he la of American origin and that hla wealth Is In America. Whenever heckled on this subject he tells his audience that he Is bringing his money to England. His opponent. Sir Thomas Poison, who Is an Irishman, got Into the last house as an "anti-waster." He Is for clear ing out at once and entirely from Mosoptamla, Palestine and Egypt, while Major Astor clings to Bonar Law's program ot moderation In all things. Football Player Dead.

(By Associated Press.) Feellnp Is un usually bitter in Viscountess Astor'a campaign hers. She Is having a hard fight to retain her seat and there haa been a remarkable display of heat. Personalities and abuse have driven party politics Into the background. One charge which the voters have berught against Lady Astur, and which counts in this community of worklngmen, is her stand on liquor. The favorite , epithet of those who oppose her Is "pussyfoot" and hrr op ponents use the word as though It were a crime. "I am not trying to take away any one'a beer," Is Lady Astor's answer. "I want to give the voters freed"fl to control the drink trade; the brew ers too often control trade In poll tics." The viscountess says she would not countenance any confiscation of trade without compensation. The real struggle is between her and her In dependent conservative rival. . Dr. Bayly. He is for "freedom and lib erty, lower taxation and the old British sporting spirit." Dr. Hayly opposes liquor control which Viscountess Astor sponsored In the last house. Labor has a candidate In the person of Captain Brennan. but Lady Astor has much enthusiastic labor support, Including one of the labor leaders, K. H. West. Mrs. Isaac Font, wife of the ltberal candidate whom Ludy As tor defeated In her first campaign, Is speaking In her behalf. Although nominally a conservative the viscountess declares herself a social reformer and says she Is more at home with the poor than the rich. Viscount Aslur appears with his wife at all meetings. Her most effective work, as in her first campaign, Is canvassing among the people. The workmen's wives crowd about her and applaud her.
