JUDGE WILCOX WARL|KE

Some very plain language was used
by Judge Wilcox this morning regard
ing statements alleged to have been
made by Dr. Pratt about the district
court. The doctor is ssil to have de-
clared that the Board of Health could
not get justice in Wilcox 6 c1urt, and
the judge did not avoid using the very
plain word 'lie" in characterizing the
alleged statement.
The compliments to DIR. Pratt We're
made when the case of Wong Kwai was
called. Wong is accused of violating a
board of health ordinance by running
a lodging house without license. At
torney Brooks asked for a continuance
and the judge granted it.
II continue the case till tomorrow
morning." said Judge Wilcox. II am
making a short continuance for the de-
fendant, so that Dr. Pratt cannot say
that he cannot get justice in this court.
DR.. Pratt has had the effronteTy to say
that this court let's all defendants in
sanitary cases go free. l take this op-
portunity of saying from the bench
that the statement is a lie.
''T'he fact is that DIR. Pratt has cold
eXtremities. In nine cases out of ten
brought by the Board of Health with
DR.. Pratt as prosecutor nolle presses
have been rendered"
Wong Kwai claims to be the victim
of peculiar combination of circum-
stances among the various departments
of the city government. He is accused
of conducting lodging house without
license after having applied for a
license and found himself unable to get
one because some filling in had not been
done at his place. He tried to have the
filling in, which is government work,
attended to, am failed. AS he didn't
want to quit business because the gov
ernment wasn't ready to fill in land he
kept on and the result was his arrest.

CAMPAIGN BUTTONS TABIJ
NOT WANTED IN THE CUSTOM
HOUSE.
Collector Stackable on the Political
Proprietiss for Government Employees.
The Treasury Departments Circular

| Custom house men may mingle in
politics all they want, after office hours
and may wear all the campaign but
! tons they then desire to have as adorn-
ments. They have been informed by
Collector Stackable. But they must moi
wear the buttons in the custom house
and must not do politics there. Some
time ago the collector, by order of the
secretary of treasurer, posted a circu-
lar containing the very strict rules pro-
| vided upon the subject in the civil SER
vice act, which prohibits government
employees from using their positions in
a political way and also prohibits the
soliciting of any campaign contribu-
| tiOns from them.
Some of the men do not seem to
have read the circular rightly" said the
collector this morning. 1T does not at
all say that custom house or other gov
ernment employees shall do no politics,
but expressly states that they may
exercise all their political privileges.
Now that the primaries are over and
all the nominations are made, there is
no reason why custom house men
should not do their part for their party,
which ever it is. 1 have told those who
have asked me about 1t that they are
at liberty to do so.
I'm the custom house itself 1 have
ruled against the wearing of campaign
buttons which is hardly in accordance
with the strict rules against doing any
campaigning. There is supposed to be
no show of partisanship in the build
ing, and moreover such buttons would
only lead to arguments with people
who come in. The outside men may
wear all the buttons they want"
The collector called attention to the
following extracts from the circular,
being parts of the orders issued during
Clevelahd's term and which have been
reissued each year since they We're
first promulgated:
"The influence of Federal ofTicehold-
ers should not be felt in the manipula-
ton of political primary meetings and
nominating conventions. The use by
these officials of their positions to
compass their selection as delegates to
political conventions is indecent and
unfair; and proper regard for the pro-
prieties and requirements of official
place will also prevent their assuming
the active conduct of political cam
paigns.
Individual interest and activity in
political affairs are by no means con-
demned. Officeholders are neither dis
franchised nor forbidden the exercise of
political privileges; but their privileges
are not enlarged nor is their duty to
party increased to pernicious activity
by office holding.
"A just discrimination in this regard
between the things citizen may pro-
perly do and the purposes for which a
public office should not be used is easy
in the light of a correct appreciation of
the relation between the people and
those intrusted with official place, and
a consideration of the necessity, under
our form of government, of political ac-
tion free from official coercion"

HARD FOR THE CHINESE.
COURTS WILL NO LONGER HELP
THEM TO LAND.
Federal Judge Estee Ruled this Morn
ing that only Treasury Department
Can Reverse Collectors Decisions.

u. S. Judge Estee made an important
ruling this morning in the case of Ching
Afoo who sought to be released by a
writ of habeas corpus from the custody
of the collector of the port. The deci-
sion, which was unfavorable to the Chi
nese will have considerable bearing In
future upon Chinese seeking to gain en-
trance to this port.
In his action for a writ Ching Afoo
admitted being a native of China. He
had resided in Honolulu for number
of years and last year went to Hong
Kong. He was granted the right to re-
main away one year. Owing to sick
ness he had the certificate extended but
when he tried to land the collector re-
fused to admit him and took the man
into custody.
\ U. S. District Attorney Baird raised
the point that as the defendant was
admittedly a native of China and an
alien he had no right to the writ of
habeas corpus. According to the EX-
clusion Act the decision OF immigration
commissioners and collectors of ports
could not be reviewed except upon ap-
peal to the secretary of the treasury.
In support of this Mr.. Baird quoted de-
cisions from the Supreme Court of the
United States which held that this
clause in the Exclusion Act was consti-
tutional, that tribunal having repeated
ly ruled against petitions for writs.
edly an alien and this country had the
right and did exercise the perogative
of who was to enter here and to whom
the writs of habeas corpus should be
granted. Ching Afoo being an alien
was therefore unentitled to the writ
and the court had no Jurisdiction.
H. A. Bigelow for the Chinese, quot
ed decisions from the Federal courts
which showed that writs of habeas
corpus had not been denied in cases
similar to the present one. He also
'contrasted the wording of the Exclu-
sion Act upon the issue raised by Mr.
Baird In the Act of 1888 the clause
had expressly declared that decisions of
the collectors and commissioners could
be reviewed only by the secretary OF
the treasury and not otherwise. In the
amendment of 1892 this was qualIned
to read simply that the reVersals could
be made by the treasury department
In dismissing the application for the.
writ the court said that the Supreme
court had held the present question of
the Chinese exclusion to be one of an
executive nature and not judicial He
held, as in the recent Marshall case
that his court would NOT assume juris-
diction in habeas corpus cases which
involved overruling other tribunals and
authorities, except in urgent cases.
NJ Unless the Chinese decides to carry
the appeal to the treasury department
he will be deported on the next steamer

of alleged overstrictness in guarding

the army ought to get naval officers

Ter, in fact. is an eX-naval officer.
The gangplank regulations in force

transports that have passed through
Honolulu for many months. Those hav-

The transports have all adopted the
custom of stationing guards at the gang

from getting ashore. Those who have
business on board are stopped at the
gangway and required to wait till their

Political.

At a meeting of the United Chinese
Society held last night, it was decided
to permit the hall of the society on
King street to be used for campaign
meetings during the campaign. The
privilege is extended to all political
parties. Republican, Democratic and
Independent, without distinction.
There are about one hundred Chinese
voters in Honolulu naturalized and
Hawaiian born. Some of them are De-
mocrats, some Republicans, possibly
some are Independents, and others are
as good soil lying fallow to the seed of
the political spell-binder.
