TRIES TO MANDAMUS
A FEDERAL JUDGE
Ohio Jurist Is Charged With obstruc
ton in Chinese Cases.

| WASHINGTON, D. c.. March H.
In the supreme court today the gov
eminent, through Attorney General
Knox, applied for a writ of mandamus
to compel Judge Francis J. Wing, of
the United States district court of the
Northern district Of Ohio, to take what
the department of justice maintains is
legal action with respect to certain
Chinese exclusion cases. This is the
first time in the history of the supreme
court that the government has sought
a writ of mandamus against federal
judge.
In his application Attorney General
Knox maintains that Judge Wing, in
holding unconstitutional that part Of
the Chinese exclusion act which pro-
svides for the deportation of alien Chi
nese after a hearing before a United
States commissioner, is proceeding
contrary to decisions Of the United
States supreme court and Is prevent
ing. the deportation of Chinese who are
unlawfully in the United States.
Many Chinese exclusion cases re-
Gently have arisen in that district.
Chinese persons said to be in this
country unlawfully were taken before
United States Commissioner Simpson
and by him were ordered deported
Their counsel then went before Judge
Wing with proceedings on appeal, and
on the showing made the judge re-
LEASED them. Subsequently. Judge
Wing refused to take the necessary
steps to have the papers fled in the
district court, which would enable the
government to appeal the cases to the
United States supreme court.
He held that the proceedings before
him on appeal from the United States
commissioner were before him as judge
and were not before the district court,
and that none of the papers. therefore,
should be filed by the clerk of his
court. The result has been to nullify
all efforts of the government to get
the cases before the supreme court,
Judge Wings position effectuaily
blocking all proceedings in the cases
after he has passed on them.
Attorney General Knox urges that
the supreme court direct Judge Wing
to have entered on the records of the
district court all papers in Chinese
cases in question and that all appeals
made from the commissioner be made
