CHINESE FATHER, CITIZEN
OF UNITED STATES, CANNOT
LAND HIS CHILDREN HERR

The application of Koon Ko and
Koon Heen for a writ of habeas cor
pus was settled this morning, when
United States Judge Robertson gave
his decision.
The applicants are two Chinese
boys, and they claim that they are
the sons of Lum Sing, a citizen of the
United States, who has been a per-
manent resident of Honolulu FOR
twenty-five years. They arrived here
on August % last, and claimed that
they were entitled to land because
their father was a citizen of the Uni
ted States. They alleged that United
States Inspector of immigration Ray
mond c.. Brown, did not accord them
full hearing, and that it was not
conducted in good faith. If they had
ha the benefit of the advice of coun-
sci, they claim, they could have pro-
duced three additional witnesses, who
would have stated facts and circum-
stances which would have established
their right to land.
1he reply was to the effect that
the applicants had been granted a
fair hearing at which it was adjudged
that they had no right to land, and
that they should be returned to the

morning and surprised nine Porto Ri
cans. When the officers forced an
entrance into the house the Porto
Ricans were playing craps. They at
tempted to break away but were
caught and locked up.

REPORT ON
NEW YORK MARKET

The Federal Reporter New York;
of September 23 contained the fol-
lowing regarding the market for
raws:
Our market has continued feature
less and no business has been re-
ported since our last review. Some
Porto Ricos afloat, and probably some
Sugar ex store, could be bought at
the prevailing spot quotation, basis
4.24c duty paid for SO deg. Centrifu-
gals. Sellers generally, however,
seeing the indisposition on the part OF
refiners to take hold, are not Offering
their Sugars, and await a more ia
vorable opportunity before coming out
with anything definite. The attitude
of refiners remains the same, /. e.,
hand to mouth, and the closing is
quiet, but steady, on the basis of 4.24c
duty paid for SO deg. Cenrtifugals
3,74c dutv paid for SO deg. Muscova-
does, and 3.49c duty paid for SO deg
Molasses Sugars. The worlds visl'
BILE supply is 100000 tons, compared
wisth 100000 tons last year Messrs
Willett & Gray estimate the total
stocks and afloats together as 1881
O97 tons, an increase Of 124,923 tons
from last year. The stocks in the
United States and Cuba together are
283 ,O97 tons an increase of 57,923 tons
from last year. Estimated afoats to
the United States 10000 tons
against 10000 tons last year.
EUROPE-There has been nc
change in the situation abroad. The
market, for the time being at least
seems to have steadied itself, and
fluctuations from day to day have
been within a narrow range. The clos
ing cable states the weather favora-
BILE for growing Beets, and the mar
ket closes quiet, as follows:
September-Buyers lis. 3d., equals
4.4Sc. duty paid New York
October-Buyers los. II I'D.
equals 4.31c. duty paid New York.
January March-Buyers lis 3-4d.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1910-10-06

equals 433c. duty paid New York.
May-Buyers lis. Id, equals
4.36c. duty paid, New York.
JAVAS-Until new crop Cuba Su-
gars become available, our market
will to a great extent be governed by
the price at which these supplies, to
fill refiner's late Fall requirements,
can be purchased. These values in turn
will be governed by the price of new
crop Beets. Early in the week ia
va cargo is understood to have been
sold to the United Kingdom, at lbs,
C. i. f., the equivalent of 4.31c New
York. One cargo, due at the Break
water the first part of next week, is
today offered at 12s. IL d., C. i. f.,
the equivalent of 4.34c. duty paid
for 90 deg test, but could not be sold
at over lis. 3D., c. /. f., the equiva-
lent of 4.24c. duty paid, the prevail
ling spot quotations.
REFINED SUGAR-All list prices
remain unchanged, with the differer
refners quoting 5.05c., cash, less 1 per
, cent f. o. b. New York. While the
trade generally are operating strictly
on hand to mouth basis, the distri-
button is good, and there are no signs
of the demand slackening for some
time to come. The Federal Sugar Re-
fining Company are making prompt
shipment of Granulated Sugar in bar
rels. Oversales with the Federal on
other grades continue about the same
as in our last report.

country where they had come. 1t
was denied that they had made any
request for legal assistance; if they
had then their request would have
been complied with. Every opportu-
nifty was afforded them to produce
their witnesses; they were notified Of
their right to appeal from the deci-
SION of the Inspector, but no appea
was lodged.
Judge Robertson held that there had
been no showing of unfairness on the
part of the Inspector. The Inspectors
refusal to grant a re-hearing, as de-
manded by counsel, could not be re-
garded as arbitrary or necessarily I'M
far II was clear that even if Lum
Sing were naturaliZed as he claimed,
and that the petitioners were his
sons, they were not citizens of the
United States. There were never citi-
zens under the Kingdom of Hawaii,
for there were no provisions under
the law under which Lum Sing claim
ed to have been naturalized by which
Hawaiian citizenship acquired by ma
turalization could have extended to
nonresident alien children; nor were
the petitioners made citizens by the
terms of the Organic Act.
The writ was dismissed and the
petitioners were remanded to the
inspector for deportation to China.
Notice of appeal was given by At
torneys Davis and Chillingworth, who
appeared for the applicants. District
Attorney Breckons appeared for the
United States.

KILLED HIMSELF.

A Chinese lad, seventeen years old,
named Lee Kui, fatally shot himself
yesterday afternoon. The boy return
ed from school in the afternoon car
rying a double-barreled shot gun, load
ed in one barrel only and was seen by
his cousin near q pond off Kalakaua
Avenue in Kalia. The cousin asked
Lee what he was doing with the gun.
and the boy replied that he only had
one cartridge and was going shooting.
adding that he would not give the gun
to his cousin. The latter was fishing
in the pond and paid little attention
to the remark or to the fact that the
boy had the gun, though he had never
seen Lee with a gun before.
Lee went into his home and chang
ed his clothes, reappearing shortly af-
forwards with the gun under his arm.
Almost Immediately after Lee had left
the house, his cousin heard the re-
port of the gun and turned to see what
Lee had shot at, Then he saw Lee
lying on the ground and on running to,
his side found that his entire face had
been shot away. The police were
called, but Lee was dead. Apparent-
ly the gun had been fired when the
muzzle was close to the lads mouth,
for the face was brown completely
away and portion of the top of the
head as well, Death must have been
instantaneous.
The body was conveyed to the NOR
que and this morning the coroner's
jury viewed the remains. This even
ing an inquest will be held before CO.
roner c. II. Rose.

MARKET STEADIEB
But STILL VERY WEAK

The stock market, although some
what spotty, was, as a general thing,
weaker today than yesterday. 1t was
a satisfaction, however, to note that
some securities are holding their own
and in few instances there are man
ifestations OF life The trend, howev-
err, is slightly downward.
The cablegram from POLITE yes
terday Afternoon reporting sales of
Hawaiian Commercial in San Fran
cisco at $345O. had the effect of re-
vfvihg interest iH that stock and
this morning it was $34.5O bid and
$35 asked. Yesterday it closed at $50
bid and S34 asked There we're no
sales.
Pioneer was probably a little stron-
ger. Yesterday the market closed at
$21O bid and S215 asked. Between
boards 40 shares sold at S2125O. and
this morning 1912 was bid, with $213.5C
asked.
Waialua sold at all sorts of prices
but closed weak. On the street sc
shares changed hands at $113.5O, fol
lowed by Is shares at $113, after
which there were sales of 70, %, 10
10 and 20 shares sold at $1125O, and
at the close the same was bid fo'
more, with $113 asked.
Oahu was in demand but suffered
considerable battering The market
closed yesterday at $29375 bid ant
$3.50 asked Afterward % shares
sold at $29.375, followed by 65 anC
40 at $685. and 100, so, and 1000 al
$29 on the board. At the close thu
stock was offered at the latter fig.
ure, but bidding had dropped to $3.50
The stock is weak.
Honokaa also slipped back a lit

bonus to be paid out of the first pro-
duction oil, and further they were to
pay a royalty of one eighth of the
gross production, and were accorded
in the lease an option to purchase
the land at $1,000 per acre when pat
ents to the land were issued by the
U. S. Government.
Subsequently, it appears that the
aforesaid gentlemen sub-leased the
west half of the southwest quarter of
the aforementioned Section to a
company organized and known as
the Lakeview No. 2 Oil Co., which
was entirely contrary to my under
standing when originally leasing the
whole Of Section No. 26 to them.
On June 20. 1910 l received letter
from Mr.. J. Oswald TAltted, informing
me that he had become a stockholder
in the so-called Lakeview No D. Oil
Co., and indicating to me that he ex-
pected to leave for Honolulu shortly
with the end in view of disposing OF
some of the stock of that Company in
Honolulu. He also requested me to
favor him with a written endorse
ment of the proposition as a whole,
which I absolutely declined to do.
refusing to lend my name for anv
such purpose. I was naturally very
indignant at the suggestion, and also
annoyed at the action of Mr.. Off and
his associates, to whom | had origin
ally leased Section No &C. and who
had evidently entered into some sub
leasing arrangement for one-half of
the southwest quarter section to par
ties under the name of the Lakeview
No. 2 Oil Co.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the Lakeview No. Oil Co. is
operating under a suitcase of lease
taken from the Lakeview Oil Co., oil
Midway, and, as the royalty to the
Lakeview Oil Co. of Midway is IL IL
per cent of the total production, pre-
.sumabJy the Eakeview No: Oil
Co. will also have to pay an addi-
tional royalty to the original lesseeS

I now reiterate that any attempt OF
the part of any one to use my name
in any manner whatsoever in T. ex.
plotting and selling of oil stocks IL
the Hawaiian Islands is totally unau
thorized.
