ANYONE CAN
SKIP OUT.
For Lack Of Law
To Detain a
Debtor.
Territory Has Nothing
To Replace the Old
Passport Law.
Judge De Bolt Refuses TO Grant
a Writ of Ne Exeat
Resno.

Judge De Bolt rendered an impor-
tant ruling yesterday. If upheld by
the Supreme Court it means that there
is no legal means of holding a debtor
within the Jurisdiction of the courts
even while a case is pending against
him. When the old Hawaiian pass
port law was abolished, it left an
omission in the local statutes which
has never been supplied.
Under that law anyone intending de-
parture from the country was required
to obtain a passport at the custom
house. A ship carrying away a pas
senger without a passport was liable
to a heavy penalty, as was also its
master personally. After passport
was issued it might be stopped
through police authority upon a mum
Der of grounds, among these being that
one was under accusation of an offense
against the laws, that he was a neces-
sary party to a civil proceeding then
pending in the courts, or that he ow-
ed debts in the Hawaiian Islands.
Anybody could stop a passport by
making an affidavit in time saying
that the holder of it was within the
category of reasons why one should
not be permitted to depart.
Notwithstanding that security OF
good faith had to be given by one
stopping a passport, there were abuses
Of the system and the victims were
often too ignorant or poor to have the
agents thereof prosecuted. In those
days the stopping of a passport was
spicy news incident in proortion to
the prominence of the person taken off
a vessel by the police.
Professional collectors, it may be
imagined, worked the passport law
for all it was worth. In consequence
of alleged abuses there was a peren-
NAL agitation to have the law repeal
ed, but the mercantile interests al
ways had influence enough to prevent
that object. Finally, it went out with
contract labor and other things under
the Organic Act.
The ruling by Judge De Bolt was in
the case of Oahu Building and Lum-
Der Co. against c. Din Sing and 9TH
ers. Plaintiff had applied for a writ
of ne exeat regno to prevent C. Din
Sing from leaving for China, as it was
alleged in the petition he intended to
do. ]. A. Magoon appeared for plain
tiff and Lorrin Andrews for defendants,
and they argued the question on re
turn of an order to defendants to show
cause. AT the outset the court stated
its belief that the writ could not be
issued. confirming this view at the
of argument by denying the
writ

new YORK'S MYSTERY
POLICE AFTER THE INTERNAL
MACHINE JOKER.
Have Traced 1t from a Boarding
House PatrOnized by Actors to
the Cunard Dock.

NEW YORK, May 12-Much of the mys-
terry surrounding the placing of an Internal
machine on the pier of the Cunard COM
pany was cleared up to-day and an arrest
may be made at any moment The police
have learned that the box was taken to
the pier from boarding house in West
Thirty-first street. known as the "Currie
House." and patronized principally by the
atrical folk The police also know the
name Of the man who sent the box from
the house and have good description Of
him. Who this man is, however, Inspector
McCluskey declines to say, and the pro-
prietress of the establishment, on being
questioned by reporters regarding her
boarder, would say nothing except that he
engaged a room about a week ago, that he
had paid his rent and that his effects were
still In the house. To the police, it is said,
she has furnished full information.
When asked what the motive for placing
spector McCiuskey contented himself with
the mysterious reply that 1t was obvious -
The tracing of the box brought about
Rooney, Ninth-avenue expressman. who
went TO the Cunard pier, accompanied by
one OF his drivers. Peter Battle, who de-
clared himself to be the driver of the green
the Internal machine at the pier Rooney
and Battle afterwards went to police head
quarters and made detailed statement.
Battle said that on Thursday afternoon he
was accosted at his stand on Ninth avenue
by man who asked him to cart a box
from the Currie House to the Cunard pier
The man paid him % cents and he went to
the house. where a woman helped him to
carry the box from the second floor. He
then drove to the pier, taking with him
for company two fellow-expressmen, one Of
whom sat on the box on the way.
After hearing the mems story Inspector
McCluskey was satisfied that they were m
nocent of any completely in the dynamite
plot and dismissed them after getting full
description CT the man who hired Battle to
cart the box. The man is described as be-
ing an american, of medium height. with
dark hair, tinged with gray. and well
dressed in light clothing. Detectives are
keeping watch on the house tonight evil
IDENTIFY in the expectation that the man
may return. He has not been seen there
since Saturday morning. the day on which
the box was discovered on the pier. One
peculiar fact is that no one in the house re-
members having seen the box brought in.

SPEECH TO STUDENTS.
President Visits Leland Stanford, Jr.,
Unfvergity.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 12-President
Roosevelt left San Jose at $50 this morning
on his way to this city. A half-hour's ride
through orchards and fields brought the
train to Palo Alto, the site Of the Leland
Stanford, jr., University. Here the Pres
ident left his carriage and was driven UP
palm-ined avenue to the famous university
quadrangle, formed by the grouping of tile
covered buildings in the Mexican style Of
architecture. President Roosevelt was
greeted by President David Starr Jordan,
the faculty and assembled students, to
whom he delivered brief address. He
first spoke of Stanford University in words
Of praise and referred to the fact that
President Jordan was an old and valued
friend, whose advice he had often sought
since he became President of the United
States. He then devoted some time to the
benefits Of education if properly applied in
after life, and ended his address with a
plea for the preservation of the forests. In
this connection he advocated a revision of
the land laws, favoring the cutting out of
the provision that tends to the acquisition
of large tracts of land for speculative pur-
poses or the leasing of land to others.
1--WE want good land laws" he said 1--WE
want to see the farmer own his own home;
want to see the land saved to the home
builder. The best trained. best educated
men on the Pacific slope, Rocky mountains
and great plains States will take the lead
in the preservation of the forests, in the
preservation and securing the right use of
the waters, and in seeing to it that our
land policy is not twisted from its original
purpose, but is perpetuated in the line Of
the purpose to turn the public domain into
farms, each to be the property of the man
who actually tills 1t and makes his home
upon it,"
After an inspection of the campus and
buildings, including the beautiful Stanford
Memorial Church, which he declared was
one of the most artistic religious edifices in
the world, the President was escorted to
his car by the entire college body. Hun
dreds of residents of Patio Alto and the
adjacent country had assembled at the
depot. and as the train pulled out there
arose a deafening roar of college yells,
mingled with the cheers Of the populace.
Shortly before 12:40 o'clock the presiden-
tial party reached Burlingame, the pic
turesque home of the Country Club, where
a stop was made for luncheon. For this
event President Roosevelt was the guest of
Henry T. Scott and many prominent citi-
zens of California were present at the in
formal repast.
After rest under the trees and stroll
sumed. Milbrae, San Bruno and South San
Francisco in succession were passed, and
at Ills p. m, promptly on time, the main
depot of the Southern Pacific, at the COR
ner of Third and Townsend streets, In this
city, was reached.

I'VE have attained our present position

In the international business world under

people as whole have acquiesced as es-

farmer and the wage worker. Doubtless as
our needs shift ii will be necessary TO re-

In its wisdom took up and disposed of mat
tiers of vital moment, such as those deal
ing with the regulation and supervision of
the great corporations commonly known as
trusts; with securing in effective fashion
the abolition of rebates by transportation
companies-that is with securing a fair
play as between the big man and the little
man in getting their products to market;
and initiating the national system of irri-
cation. So in my Judgment the Congress
that is TO assemble next fall should take
up and dispose of the pressing questions
relating to banking and currency. / be-
ieve that such action will be taken and

PREPARING FOR A STRIKE.

Meantime, both sides are preparing for
what seems to be the inevitable outcome
OF the deadlock in the negotiations. Con-

from other cities that the Great Northern
had opened recruiting Offices and was con-

The men also claim to be fully prepared

the idea that there are trainmen enough
