SUPREME COURT SAYS MATTERS
IN EMIGRATION RETURN WERE
MATTERS OF GENERAL KNOWLEDGE"

In ruling yesterday afternoon in
favor of Watson's motion to strike out
parts of the Craig habeas corpus re-
turn, which deal with general immi-
grafton conditions and policies here,
the Supreme Court took occasion to
make what is regarded by some as a
hint to the legislature of a possible
line of action suggested by the return
of counsel for the respondent. It is
set forth in the decision that one rea-
son for striking out the lengthy argu-
ment in the return Is that some of the
matters are of general knowledge
and the court took judicial notice of
such matters. The decision says:

FEDERAL JURY ACQUITS GOO

ia 9E ] - q. q - ! Il,

Early this afternoon a jury in the
United States District Court, Judge
Clemons presiding returned a ver-
dict of acquittal in the case against
a Chinese, Geo Yee, in which he was
charged with having in possession
opium contrary to law.
Rawlins prosecuted and j. Light

quilted.
The Goo Yee case has excited a
great deal of interest and comment

the superintendent of public works.
There would be better satisfaction
among the people who could take their
troubles for remedy to the commits
sion and who would have full hearing
of all complaints.
Chillingworth wanted to know if the
law could be amended so that the
members of the commission might be
fined if they were not present at the
meetings of the commission. His OBJ
servation had taught him that commits
sions now in existence in Hawaii were
more or less of a farce.
The agricultural commission 'hadR't
had a meeting since God knows
when," the land board was a farce,
rarely having a meeting, making the
excuse that one of the members was
away in Washington; the education
commission was a joke, for the super
intendent of public instruction ran
the whole department.
Fairchild agreed with these ideas
as to the commissions named.

Goo Yee was arrested and prosecuted.
There were numerous interesting
