TWELVE CHINESE BOYS
ORDERED DEPORTED

The writ of habeas corpus in the
case of the three Chinese boys whose
attorney, w. w. Thayer, was trying to
prevent their deportation to their ma
tive land, was dismissed yesterday af-
ternoon by Judge Dole after he had
listened to the evidence in the ease.
The contention of the petitioner was
that the boys had not had fair trial
before the immigration Commissioners
but the judge concluded from the evil
dence given that they had nothing to
complain of and that the immigration
authorities were right in refusing them
a landing.
1t was claimed by the petitioner,
KEN Yam Tim, that the three boys
were born in Honolulu but had been
living in China for some years. They
arrived here recently and were refused
a landing by the immigration authori-
ties, who did not believe the story of
their being Hawaiian born.
Immediately upon the order of the
judge being given, dismissing the writ
of habeas corpus. r. L. Halsey and Dis
trict Attorney Breckons called up the
immigration station and ordered the
three boys, Hoo Chan, Hoo Dang and
Hoo Sang, rushed down to the Mon.
golia and shipped to China on her. Their
STAY in America was very brief.
