light OF reason as applied to the or
binary rules of practice, and give due
weight to the later section Appar-
emily the object of this legislation was
to prevent the granting of extensions
and the meddling of judges in cases
which they had not tried or which
were not properly under their control,
and yet in the case of the absence or
inability of the judge who tried the
action, to grant relief, or allow ex-
tensions to be made to deserving liti
gants.
The argument advanced comedies
that if Judge Murphy had gone to
Reno and entered the order in open
court it would have been good, but I'M
der this contention if he had stepped
through the door into the chambers
and made it, it would have been void
Orders extending the time for filings
are business usually, or properly
transacted in chambers ana under
Section l573 can and, ought to be
made as effectually in any part of the
State by the Judge having the case in
charge. as if made by him in cham
bers or in open court. Judge Murphy
was merely acting for Judge Curler
during his vacation, but by analogy
the construction claimed, if adopted.
would, in every case where a district
judge dies. resigns or is succeeded,
invalidate the orders extending time
under section 1877 made out of court
by his successor in Office, although
they are Of that character ordinarily
granted in chambers. This would
mean a distinction and two rules for
filing orders of the same kind,
and that the Judge who had tried the
cause as Judge Curler had done in
this instance, could make the order in
chambers, while his successor could
so make it only in the cases tried by
him, and would have to be in court
to make these simple orders extend
ing time in actions which had been
previously tried by another Judge.
Appellants desired and were entifl-
ed to the time granted for the pur-
pose of enabling them to secure from
the court reporter who had left the
State, transcript of the testimony
given on the trial, which would ena-
BILE them to properly prepare the state
ment.
Under Section 1878 Judge Curler
could have made an order granting
them the extension at any place in
the State. and as during his absence
Judge Murphy was requested by the
Court minutes to attend to all bust
ness for him, We conclude that he was
empowered to make the order at Car
son City as he did. and as Judge Cur
Ter could have done, and that it was
not necessary for him to make the trip
to Reno and undergo the formality OF
opening court to enter ex parte orders
simply extending time, such as are
usually made out of court.
The motion to dismiss the appeal
from the order overruling the motion
for a new trial and to strike out tbs

AWFUL HOLOCAUST
IN MINNEAPOLIS
EXCLUSION LAW is VALID
COURT OF APPEALS DECLARES
CONGRESS HAD POWER TO
EXTEND STATUTE.

Cincinnati, Jan. 1O.-The case of
Hong Wing against the United States,
involving the Chinese exclusion act,
was decided in favor of the United
States circuit court of appeals in this
city, the court holding that the act Of
April Z, 1904, continued the exclusion
act in full force, congress having full
power to do so.
Hong Wing is one of six Cinnamon
who had been ordered deported under
the provisions of the Chinese exclu-
sion act and the cases being identical
the one decision will apply to all six.
Attorneys for the applicant main
tanned that the exclusion act was void
and that their clients could not be de-
ported.
The decision was announced by
Judge Richards, who said that the
main point presented to the court was
whether the act of April z, 1904, con-
tinued the Chinese exclusion act in
force and the court was satisfied that
it did do so without reference to any
existing treaties or regulations. The
act was passed in view of the treaty
expiring and it had continued the pro-
visions of the treaty. Congress has
the power to modify, reject or concur
in treaties and it had done what was
wholly within it's power in passing this
act. The decision OF the lower court
was, therefore, sustained and the ap-
peal dismissed
