| ton of the legality of their being al
| lowed to land, are a pretty little 1l-year
1 old Chinese girl and a comedy young
woman of about. 81 They We're with
two Cinnamon before Judge Estee yes
| terday morning. while T. McCants
Stewart presented their case. They are
of the unfortunates who have been Wis
/ iting in their native land and returned
too late to register. AS they claim to
be native born, however, they have a
better chance Of being allowed to re-
main than those who are merely resi-
dents here and unregistered. 1t Is
claimed that as the United States ac-
cepted all citizens under the terms OF
annexation the native-born Chinese
cannot be deported. At o'clock in
