o i the best citizenship to permit our
names to be used as slicker candi
dates at the general election of De
cember 5," is the attitude assumed
by \v M- Porter, defeated candidate
(or the nominal en as mayor, and X.
£ Dow, defeated candidate for the
nomination as city attorney. Per
sistent rumors that both Porter and
Dow would be advanced as sticker
candidates against M. K. Snyder and
M S. Jamar, successful candidates
for the nomination for mayor and
attorney, respectively, were dispelled
when both men stated unqualifiedly
to The Herald that they would under
no circumstances permit their names
to be used on stickers.
"I was fairly beaten at he pri
maries and am out of the running
[or the Office of mayor," stated Mr.
Porter. "1 will not sanction any at
tempt to elect me by stickers and
would absolutely refuse to qualify
if elected by that means. The cam
paign for the nomination was con
ducted on a clean, fair basis by all
the candidates and Mr. Snyder re
ceived a plurality vote of the people.
Their decision is final, so far as 1
am concerned, and 1 would consider
i: the part of poor citizenship to in
ject partizanship into the city elec
tion by means of a sticker cam
paign."
Mr. Dow stated that he believed
that a sticker campaign against Mr.
Jamar for city attorney would not
be good policy and that, though
urged by many to make the race,
he would not permit his name to be
used.
The decision reached by Mr. Por
ter and Mr. Dow removes the only
probability of contests at the gen
eral city election, and practically in
sures the election of all the success
ful primary candidates. Mr Porter

'■■ice hj Judge Itudkin Return* to
Chris llurkowsky of PuMiaun
His One-Half of I'ropeitj
Valued at $15,004)
Chris Hurkowsky, pioneer Pull
man farmer, will recover his one-half
of property valued at approximately
I $45,000, owned jointly by himself
and his sister. Henrietta, and seized
during the war by the alien prop
erty custodian, as the result of a
decree just handed down by Federal
I Judge F. H. Rudkin of Spokane.
The action was instituted against
I the alien property custodian and the
treasurer of the United States by
Chris and Henrietta Burkowsky for
an accounting and decree that Chris
was entitled to possession of his mi
i terest in the property. It is the only
case of its kind which has been
brought in the United States courts
of this state and has attracted wide
attention. The case was 'handled
by Fred Miller of Colfax for the
plaintiffs and Major F. K. Jeffries,
X. S. district attorney, for the de
fendants The action was started in
Walla Walla and moved later by
stipulation to Spokane.
The naturalization law provides
that if a foreigner is naturalized in
this country and returns to his na
tive land and remains for wo years
or longer he is presumed to have ex
palliated himself. In this case this
presumption was refuted by testi
mony of witnesses that neither of
the plaintiffs had any Intention of
renouncing the land of their adop
tion. The evidence showed that
neither of the plaintiffs, who were
unable to leave Germany during the
war, in any way aided or contribut
ed to the German nation during their
residence there.
Chris Burkowsky came to the
United States in 1873, locating In
California. In 1879 he cam.- to
Whitman county, becoming natural
ized in 1881. Henrietta came over
from Germany in 1ST!) and in 1884
look out her first citizenship papers.
When the territory was admitted as
a state in 1889 she thought that
made her a citizen without taking
out her final papers and believed she
was a naturalized citizen of the
United States until the controversy

the past over the question of dupli- I
over the seized property arose. The
title to all of the property was in
her name and the court ruled they
were each presumed io be a hall
owner.
Under the decree of .Indue Rud
kin, Chris will receive his one-half,
which consists of notes, mortgages,
bank stock and cash in the United
States treasury. The entire amount,
with interest, represents a valuation
of nearly $45,000. Henrietta will
