IN LANAI CASE

Judge De Bolt yesterday morning
denied the motion of Commissioners
Pratt, respondent in the Lanai injunc-
ton case, for an extension of time for
answering the original petition. An
exception was noted by Deputy Attor-
ney General Milverton to the ruling.
Time as previously extended was up at
p. m. yesterday, but no answer was
filed.
The Supreme Court the day before
had denied Attorney Gears motion to
dismiss Pratt's appeal from Judge
De Bolts decree sustaining the
demurrer. which decree Judge De Bolt
in the meantime revoked, as far as
his power went. saying he was asham-
ed of having signed it in the absence
of counsel for petitioner. The Supreme
Court held that the decree was quite
within the judges discretion and its
nonconformity with his opinion an inn
material matter.
A decision of the Supreme Court on
the decree will be the next happening

IMMIGRATION CASE
APPEAL TAKEN

Under instructions by cable from
Washington to District Attorney
Breckons yesterday, Assistant District
Attorney Dunno noted an appeal to the
Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, San
Francisco, from Judge Dole decision
releasing japanese on habeas corpus
from detention here by the immigra-
ton officials.
Chiyomatsu Nakashima, a japanese
whose adopted home is at San Jose.
California, his family living there and
awaiting his return, was on Friday
discharged from a long detention here
BY the Federal immigration officials.
whose decision to deport him was only
fhwarted by a writ of habeas corpus
out Of the United States District
Court.
Judge Dole's written decision on the
writ Of habeas corpus concludes thus:
The petitioner is discharged subject
to the taking of an appeal, in which
case he may be released upon giving
a recognizanee with surety in an
amount to be fixed by the court to an
sWer the judgment of the appellate
court
In taking jurisdiction of the case
against the strongly presented plea
that the law allowed no interference of
the courts with the decisions of immi-
grafton officials, Judge Dole held in ef-
feet that such decisions must be upon
matters that the law places within the
discretion Of the officials. II they are
acting without any legal authority
their decisions are simply null and
therefore voidabie by due proceedings.
In this case the officials never consid-
cred the essential question of whether
the petitioner was an "alfen immi- |
grant" or an "alien resident" but were |
going to bundle him out of the country |
as IAN alien" simply because he was
affected with a contagious eye trouble. |
As a matter of law Judge Dole found |
that the immigration act of March 5, |
1903, applies to ''alien immigrants, but
not to aliens domiciled in the United |
States who may have temporarily gone
abroad and are returning thereto"
Nakashima was ordered, as a mill |
tary reservist, back to Japan to fight |
the Russians and was on his way home /
to San Jose when detained here In /
transit.

The whole distance between the first

quarter mile each, was a continuous
line of smoke rolling skywards a hum

line of smoke you could follow Madame
Pele's underground course from the
first TO the second outbreak.

outbreak above (mauka) of Pun Keo-
keo, was cold and dead when I got
there, and judging from the glare from
down here at Hookena, believe these
flows flowed out during the first three
days after the first outbreak on Janu-
airy eth. 1907.
Judging from the amount of area
covered by these first branches. which
is about three to four hundred acres,
and being principally pahoehoe, and
thickness not being more than two to
six feet deep. the lava must have flow
ed very rapidly, which accounts for the
disappearing of the glare in the sky up
in that direction.

could you see any molten or red lava.

"You see them in the Grand Central
station, in the waiting rooms at Jer-

and apparently waiting without end.
You see the same types not only in
New York, but in any of the railroad
waiting rooms of the big cities. They
don't seem to have anything to do; n
large part Of them are not ever enter
tanning themselves by reading. They
appear to be watching nothing in par
ticular, and yet there they sit and
wait. They don't seem to be interested
III the movements of the trains, for
they never look up when the 'bawler'
comes through. They don't see to be
waiting for anybody, as they show
little interest in the crowds that stream
through after the arrival of every
train.

assortment Of babies, one of them al
