The cases of Yong Lam Chow and
Young Ho, the Chinese who were to
have had hearing yesterday were
set down for Thursday morning.
Some of the attorneys having cases
before the Federal Court have not been
very punctual in their attendance late
ly, much to the annoyance of Judge
Estee, and he yesterday requested the
clerk to notify the attorneys concerned
that they must be in court when their
cases are called.
An unfortunate error was made yes
terday in the report of the decision
made by Judge Estee in the case of
Kut Yong, the Chinese girl ordered to
be deported. The report inadvertent-
ly intertwined the case of Kan You,
the Chinese girl married through the
agency of Thomas Fitch, with the de-
cision in the case of Kut Yong. Judge
Estee will not pass upon the latter
case for several days
