Three Petitions From Chinese From

to be Heard Together.

The Chinese habeas corpus cases all
went over until Wednesday morning,
at 10 o'clock, before the supreme
court. But more than an hour was ta-

question of whether the attorneys for
the petitioners had right to consult
them or not.
Judge Perry was called in to sit as
an associate justice of the supreme
court with the chief justice and JUS
tice Whiting There are three of the
habeas corpus cases, two by Chinese
refused a landing from the Gaelic and
one from a Chinese refused a landing
from the City of Peking. In one of
these cases no return has yet been
made. tomorrow being the return day.
In view of the similarity of the ques-
tions raised in each of the cases it
was agreed that they should be argu-
ed together on Wednesday.
Mr.. Magoon asked for an order per-
hitting him to consult his clients, or
one of them. This was opposed by
| Attorney General Smith and L. NJ.
Thurston, who appeared for the re-

| They argued that the petitioners be-
ing subjects of the Chinese Emperor
and not citizens of Hawaii. did not
come within the constitutional guar
antee of the right to consult with
counsel, and cited decisions of the
court in support of their position. Mr..
Magoon replied that in the authorities
cited which were habeas corpus cases,
the petitioners who were japanese
had been refused a landing on finding
of fact by the collector general. But
in the present cases the petitioners
were denied landing on questions OF
law which it was sought to bring be.
fore the court for decision. This diff.
ference, he maintained. was essential
and gave him a right to consult his
clients.

he did not know that he should want
to consult his clients. did not want SC

it was agreed that he might consult

to be in the presence of the interpret
er for the government, and not to bc
taken as a precedent in future cases
Thereupon he withdrew his request
for an order of court permitting tn,
