...Court under the following circumstances : Two years ago, a white woman claimed the estate of a Seneca. She met opposition in the Indians' own "Peace-Makers' Court," went to the New York Supreme Court, which summoned the Senecas. The proud red men refused to appear in the "alien" court. Two of them-Sylvester J. Pierce, administrator of the disputed estate, and Warren Kennedy, marshal of the red men's court-were taken prisoners for contempt. Their attorney, George P. Decker of Rochester, carried the case to Washington, where it became public last week. The red men contend...
...President appointed Frederick C.Hicks* to be Alien Property Custodian. Last fall, he managed the Republican Campaign in the East with such success that Charles D. Hilles, a Republican super-chieftain, advised the President (TIME, Apr. 13) to give him the high responsibility of managing the confiscated property of onetime enemies of the U.

...President received Charles D. Hilles, onetime (1912-16) Republican National Committee Chairman, was advised to appoint Frederick C. Hicks, onetime (1915-23) Congressman from New York, to the post of Alien Property Custodian.

Free democratic institutions, wrought painfully by the founding fathers, must not be jeopardized through the hasty words of an alien. What matter that any remarks of which Count Karolyi might care to unburden himself would be addressed to audiences already poisoned by open-mindedness? The principle is the thing, and the principle states boldly that America must be protected from foreign radicals. Beneficent councilors of state, acting on information secured through foreign agents, ascertain the exact color of the alien's political views, and if those views are a shade too pink, he shall not pass. Who does not shudder...
...malicious mischiefs, committing their public nuisances? Mark Twain was kindly disposed toward bad little boys; he made good reading of them. Nevertheless, many urchins since have unwittingly assumed the habits of his tatterdemalions without their redeeming graces; the U. S. is full of juveniles?some of native, some of alien, some of unknown parentage?who are quick to become dicers, toss-pots and wastrels if steps are not taken to make them demean themselves with proper decorum. Last week, two movements were set afoot which will doubtless greatly further the moral education of these Huckleberry Finns? Polish, Jewish, Italian, Irish...
