MAKES HARD FIGHT
TO ENTER COUNTRY
JAPANESE REFUSED ADMISSION
MAY APPEAL TO WASH
INGToN.
lFrom saturday . AdveTtisar.l


Seated around a small table, the only
one left in the United States district
court by the moving tontrac-r,s yoster-
day, Judge Charles F. Clemens, United
States District Attorney Robert Breck.
ons and Attorney j. Lightfout dis
cussed the habeas corpus application of
Suekichi Tsuji, who has been refused
readmittance to the Territory The case
was continued till next week, when the
court will be settled in its new premises
in the Model block ON Fort street.
At the previous hearing Attorney
Lightfoot demurred to the return of the
respondent, Raymond c. Brown, inspec-
tor cf immigration That return stated
in general terms that the reason why
the japanese was refused admittance
to the United States was that he had
been convicted of an offense involving
moral turpitude.
Attorney Lghtfoot wanted fuller de-
tails, and he got 'em. Inspector
Browns supplemental report gives the
date of the indictment Of Suekicbi
Tsuji for harboring a woman for i'm
moral purposes, the plea of guilty by
the Japanese and the court IS ORDER that
he serve a sentence of three months.
May Go to Last Court.
Tsuji came here in 1s0e and his wife
followed the same year. They estab-
lished domicile. In 1909 came the
man 8 arrest and conviction. He re-
turned to Japan at tho end of 1910
end came back here few wee,s ago,
but Inspector Brown detained him at
tho immigration statisn with Il view
t. returning him to Japan. The g-ound
fur the Inspectors actioL was that
Tsuji belonged to the excludaj Case as
Ie had been convicted of t':.ony in
volving moral turpitude.
The Japanese retained Attorney
l4lghtfoot to make a fight for his re-.
ENTITY and the first step was TO apply
for writ of habeas corPrs. The at
torney relied to some extent on the
case OF Nakashima, who re armed from
visit to Japan after establishing a
domicile here but was refused admis-
sion because he had CONTRACTED ira
choma, contagious disease. On writ
Sr habeas corpus he was released by
the United States district cnurt here,
and allowed to again settle in Homo
lulu. The United States appealed to
the ninth circuit court of appeals at San
Francisco and the judgment of the
court here was sustained.
1t is claimed on behalf of the govern
ment that this does not create prece-
dent which should govern the present
application, as Nakashima had not been
convicted of a criminal offense, but
was merely refused a landing because
he had a communicable disease. 1t is
possible this new case may be taken
to the United States Supreme Court.
