WITH EXPERIENCE
Yong Lam How, a Chinese Boy,
Also is Ordered Sent Back

This Territory will not be made a nur-
living in China
Thus spoke Judge Estee of the United
States Court yesterday in ordering the
department of All Quot, the thirteen
year-old Chinese girl, who claimed to
have been born in Honolulu She Is the
same girl who was in the court room
at the time of the trial of the two sis
ters, when it was impossible to distin-
guish any one of the three from the
other
Judge Estee, after reviewing some of
the alleged facts in the case said: This
is the case of All Quot arrested by Mar
shall Hendry on the ground that she is
not u legal resident of the Territory of
! Hawaii. In the answer made by the de-
| PENDANT it is alleged that this Chinese
| girl was born here November Is, 1883.
I Four different Chinese witnesses testi-
! fed that she was born here, but not two
agreed as to the time and place of such
birth L don't believe the testimony of
the who claimed to be her uncle
not only because of his general de-
meanor, but also from the fact that he
! had been in the court a witness on
several previous occasions, in which ne
/ testified as 20 the birth of various de-
| PENDANTS.
| ."The witnesses are only agreed to the
! facts that the father is dead and that
| the mother lives in China. The court
does not believe that tins girl was born
| in the Islands or that she has any reason
| for being here. The court will sadd that
| this Territory viii not be made nursery
| for the care of children of Chinese moth
ers living in China The order is that
| All Quot be given to the custody of the
! marshal for deportation"
| The girl was not present in court She
will be turned over to the United States
Marshal and put aboard the first steamer
for shipment to China.
CHINESE BOY ORDERED DEPoRTED.
Yong Lam Chow, the Chinese boy who
claimed to have been born in the Islands
was also ordered deported. The evidence
of the defendant had not all been intro
duced Monday, when the case was heard
and a continuance was granted to yes
terday morning. in order that Attorney
Stewart might bring in the remainder OF
his witnesses. He made a statement tC
the court to the effect that he had TAXED
with all his witnesses Monday, and they
had faithfully promised to be in court
at o'clock. He was given ten minutes
in order to allow him to secure the pres
ence of the missing witnesses. but at the
end of that time he reported that they
had failed to arrive, and submitted the
case as it stood without argument. Evi
IDENTIFY Chinese are going back on then
brethren, as in several cases in the past
they have seemed not too anxious to tes-
tify, and it has become quite difficult tc
secure their presence in the Federal
Court.
1.-THE evidence in this case is also very
conflicting said the court in ordering
the deportation of the defendant The
answer alleges that the defendant was
a different statement as to the time OF
his birth. The father claims that the boy
was born in 1884. the witness who says he
was present at his birth testified he was
born in 1886 and then contradcts himselt
and says ne was born in 1888. The same
man also SAYS he was born in 1884, anC
: the testimony of none of the witnesses
bear out The allegations in the answer
; Yong Lam says he made three visits tt
China: | do not believe it. The cour
finds it very unpleasant to say that hi
does not believe the witnesses, but thei1
. statements are impossible of belief. The
; court is compelled to remand the defen
; dant back to the country from whence HI
; came, and he VIII be taken into custod,
of the marshais for deportation"
