Those courts may have and do have in some particulars jurisdidtion over millions of dollars worth of property in certain cases. but they are not courts which have unlimited jurisdiction at law or which have jurisdiction over an unlimited amount in controversy. Those will be barred. The gentleman refers to the fact that we just passed a bill validating naturalization in the criminal courts. The criminal court of pur county has jurisdiction to try a man for his life and to order that he be hanged. but you say it is not a court of sufficient importance to naturalize a citizen. It will be a very great hardship. I say. gentlemen. in the city of Chicago upon thousands of people if this bill passes in the way that it reads now.
