NO ROOM FOR CHINAMEN.
The Hong Kong Scheme Ruled Out in
Court

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24.-Judge Field
of the United States Supreme Court, sit
ting in banc with Judge Sawyer, rem
dered a final decision to-day in respect to
the rights claimed by Chinese born in
Hong Kong to land in the United States.
He ruled that the fact of Il Chinaman
being born in Hong Kong does not con-
stitute him a British subject. He en-
larged on the fact that Congress never
intended to disregard the requirements of
the treaty with foreign govern
ments. An act of Congress, he
said, must be construed according
to its manifest intent and must be so en-.
forced by the courts in respect to the re-
striction act. No consideration was
deemed necessary to the position of other
governments regarding the Chinese with
in their borders. Its object was to eX-
clude Chinese labOrers from coming from
any part of the world. 1t was known
that Hong Kong would pour Chinese la
borers into our country every year unless
covered by the restriction act,
