DE HAVEN DECIDES
THAT NORTH ERRED
SHOULD HAVE ALLOWED MER-
CHANT OTA TO LAND.
But the Secretary of the Treasury
Alone Has the Right to Review
the Action of the Immigra-
ton Commissioner.

United States District Judge de Haven
Yesterday rendered his opinion in the
matter of the habeas corpus petition or
S. Ota, a Japanese merchant of this city,
who was prevented from landing at this
port by H. H. North, United States Immi-
grafton Commissioner General w. ID. =.
Barnes, representing the petitioner, was
present in court. The following is the full
text of the decision:
This is a proceeding arising upon a writ OF
habeas corpus issued on behalf OF one s. Ota,
and the case submitted to the court for its
decision upon the petition for the writ, the re
turn thereto and certain admissions made by
counsel during the argument from Whlch
find the following facts:
That the said $. Ota is a native and subject
of the empire of Japan, and for more than
eight years has been resident of the state or
California and is now merchant and a mem
her of the firm of Ota & Sanada San Fran
cisco: that said firm deals in japanese fancy
7Iree and sells ali kinds of bamboo furniture;
that in March of the present year the said ;.
Ota went to Japan for the purpose of buying
goods for his firm, and after having made pur-
chases to the amount in value OF more than
five thousand dollars he returned 10 san Fran
cisco on the steamship Hongkong Maru, arrlv,
ing at that port about August 3, 1899, and
thereafter on the 10th day of August. 1888. after
a special inquiry by the immigration officials
at the port of San Francisco he was found to
be suffering from loathsome ana contagious
disease and was ordered by ii. II. North, the
Commissioner of Immigration at that port, 10
be returned to Japan, and Is now IN the Gus

Upon these facts think it very clear that
the petitioner is not an alien immigrant. and
that the Commissioner of immigration erred in
ordering him to be returned to Japan I'm re
Panzara. 81 Fed: 275); but under the act OF OF
August l. 1894, 2S Stats. $780, the only mode or
correcting this error Is by an appeal to the Sec
retary of the Treasury. That act provides:
In every case where an alien Is excluded from
admission into the United States under any law
or treaty now existing or hereafter made, the
decision of the appropriate immigration or Gus

alien shall be final unless reversed on appeal
to the Secretary OF the Treasury.
This statute was before the Supreme Court
in the case of Lem Moon Sing vs.. United
States 1853 L. s. 53S and was there construed
as taking away from the courts the authority
to review or set aside the decision of the execu-
tive officers named, when such decision is ad-

The case has been appealed to the Sec
retary of the Treasury and will be de-
cided in a few days. There is no doubt
that Ota will be allowed TO land

TRAVEL MANY MILES AN HOUR

Have you ever thought of the distance
you travel while you are out for an hour s
stroll?
Possibly you walk three miles in an
hour, but that does not represent the dis-
tance you travel. The earth turns on its
axis every twenty-four hours. In round
figures call the earth's circumference
"a 600 miles. and you must have Travelled
during your hours stroll thousand miles
in the axial turn of the earth.
But this is not all The earth makes a
Journey around the sun every year. Put
the distance of our planet from the sun
at % 900 900 miles, and the circumference
described by the earth 57S,0O0,000 miles:
In other words. the earth travels around
the sun each day 1854 900 miles, and every
hour-for instance, the hour during which
YOU took your walk-the earth moved
through 5000 miles.
So, adding your three miles of leg travel
to the hours axial movement of the earth,
this to the earth's orbital journey, and
that again to the earth's excursion with
the sun. and you will find you have trav-
eled within the hour $500 miles.--New

WHERE AND HOW
Wall Paper Was First Manufactured
and Used

While various kinds of printed
fabrics were known to the people of
most remote antiquity, it was not until
the eighteenth century that wall paper
in anything like its present form came
into common use in Europe, though it
appears to have been used much earlier
In China. A few rare examples which
may be as early as the sixteenth cen
tury exist in England, but these are
limitations, generally in flock" of the
old Florentine and Genoese cut velvets,
and hence the style of the design in no
way shows the date of the wall paper,
the same traditional patterns being re-
produced with little or no change for
many years. 1t was not till the end OF
the last century that the machinery to
make paper in long strips was invent
ed. Up to that time wall papers were
printed on small square pieces OF hand
made paper and were very expensive.
On this account wall paper was slow
in superseCing the older mural decora-
tions such as tapestry, stamped leather
and paper cloth.
A work printed in London in 1744
throws some light on the use OF wall
papers at that time:
.tThe method of printing wall papers
of the better sort is probably the same
now that it has ever been. wooden
blocks with the design cut IN relief one
for each color are applied by mana,
after being dipped IN an elaStlc cloln
sieve charged with wet tempera pig
ment, great care being taken to lay
each block exactly on the right place
so that the various colors may register
or fit together. In order to suit the
productions of the paper mills these
blocks are made in England Il inches
wide and in France Is inches wide.
The length of the block is limited to
what the workman can easily lift with
one hand-two feet being about the
limit, as the blocks are necessarily
thick, and in many cases made heavier
by being inlaid with copper especially
the thin outlines, which, If made of
wood, would not stand the wear and
tear of printing.
In flock and gold and silver print
ing the design is first printed in strong
size, the flock (inely cut wool of the re-
quired color, or metallic powder, is
then sprinkled by hand all over the
paper: it adheres only to the wet size,
and is easily shaken off the ground or
unsized part. If the pattern is required
to stand out in some relief the process
is repeated several times and the whole
paper then rolled to compress the flock
Cheaper sorts of paper are printed by
machinery, the design being cut on the
surface of wooden rollers under which
the paper passes. The chief drawback

INJURED BY AN ELEVATOR.
Serious Accident to Benjamin Bar
nett, an Expresman, While
DELIVERING Goods

Benjamin Barnett, an expressman. liv-
ing at 1922 Capp street, was seriously in
jured yesterday morning by an elevator
in the auction rooms of Davis, Belau &
Co, rs Bush street.
How the accident happened is at present
a mystery, as Barnett has been uncon-
scious since and as no one was near him
at the time. He was delivering goods at
the auction rooms and had been struck on
the back of the head by the elevator.
He was taken to the Receiving Hospital
in the ambulance where it was found that
he was suffering from a confusion on the
back of the head and injuries to his spine
The probability is that he will be a Grip
