Territorial Hawaii naturalization and grand jury question before court
The supreme court reviews if territorial circuit courts can naturalize aliens and whether grand jurors indicted Morita were validly qualified. Attorney Smith argues Hawaii circuit courts lack authority to naturalize. proposes that only federal district and territorial district courts hold such power. The case hinges on Section 2165 and the Organic Act as to circuit court jurisdiction and the status of jurors who were naturalized between 1900 and 1905.
