AFTER IMMIGRATION AGENTS.
Federal Judge Makes New Ruling
in Chinese Gases.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
Washington. Aug 2s.-As the result Of an
opinion handed down by Federal Judge in
California. Commissioner General Of Immi-
grafton Sargent said to-day that he thought
the Department of Commerce and Labor
would now be able to stop one more scheme
OF a certain class OF lawyers in obtaining
the Illegal admission Of Chinese into the
country.
For several years a number or lawyers
who care more for fees than they do for
the good OF the country have been making
a practice In the West Of having detained
Cinnamon released in habeas corpus pro-
ceedings. In many cases the Cinnamon
could not be found when called for BY the
court.
Commissioner Sargent protested. and
finally the matter was brought before Judge
Hoven Of San Francisco, and he has hand
ed down the following rule:
Every petition for the issuance OF q writ
Of habeas corpus by or on behalf Of any
person claiming the right to enter or land
in the United States. as q native-born citi-
zen thereof, must set forth that the right
Of such person to enter or land has been
ton for the port Of Frisco. and there must
also be filed with such petition duly certi-
fed copy Of the said order or ruling Of the
Commissioner Of Immigration.
mo writ Of habeas corpus for the pur-
pose Of determining the right CT any person
to enter or land in the United States as 9
native-born citizen thereof will be issued
unless the foregoing requirements of this
rule are compiled with, except when the Pc
tition alleges, ana 1t Is shown to the salts
faction of tho court, that an examination
Of the right Of such person to enter the
United States has been delayed by the
proper officer for an unreasonable length OF
time Y which case the petition Ion. shall set
Under this ruling, which applies to all
immigrants, no person can be released until
the COMMISSIONER representatives have all
the opportunity they desire to be heard.
BY this means Commissioner Sargent hopes
to put an end to the Pacific Coast abuses.
