FEDERAL JUDGE,
. OVERRllED BY
Higher COURT

According TO information which has
reached federal court circles here, the
circuit court OF appeals at San Fran
cisco has upheld one and reversed
three decisions handed down recently
by the local United States judges. the
decisions having grown out of immi-
grafton cases which, after the rulings,
were appealed to the mainland court
either by the government or by the
defendants. " IT, -.
In the case of Lai Cheong. Judge
Sanford B: Dole, in his decision. held
that as the defendant produced GER
tifcate signifying that he had landed
in the Philippines, he therefore was
entitled to permission to land in Ha-
wall. The government appealed in
this case, and the decision of Judge
Dole was reversed.
In another cases that of Lee Leong,
the defendant, although having GER
tifieate OF Hawaiian birth, was refused
landing. The defendant applied for
writ Of habeas corpus and Judge
Charles F. Clemens, in his decision,
pointed out that the defendants hay-
ing certificate of Hawaiian birth was
not conclusive. The defendant ap-
pealed the case, and in this instance
the ruling OF Judge Clemens was up
held by the San Francisco court Of
appeals. In the cases of Tsurukichi
and Tsunezo Kosano. an appeal was
taken by the government and the de-
cisions of Judge Dole reversed and the
defendants denied the right to land.

scHANG AVERTs TROUBLE.
Athletics Catcher Told The Truth and
Settled Arguments

Cleveland O., April l6.-Four words,
spoken by Wally Schang, Connie
Maclls great young catcher, brought
to an abrupt ending an argument
which threatened to assume the pro-
portions of a small riot one Sunday
last season.
The decision was close, and as the
Mackmen were fighting to hold the
lead, also was a mighty important one.
The play came up ut Somers park.
1t happened on a Sunday about the
middle of August. Chief Bender was
chased from the box that day.
Terry Turner scored the first of four
runs i'm the seventh inning, which
gave the Maps the game.
Turner made one Of his famous
head-frst slides into the home plate.
Billy Evans, who was umpiring, called
him out and then Immediately chang
ed his decision.
To the Athletic players and the fans
it looked as if Schang had touched
Turner out. But Evans noticed that
just as Schang tried To touch Turner's
hand with the ball, Terry slipped his
hand aside. Schang, instead of tag
ging Turner's hand, Ia ged the
ground. Turner then deftly slid his
hand back to the plate. When Evans
saw Schaug apparently touch Terry's
! hand. he called him Out. but when he
saw Terry slip his hand aside and then
tag the plate he pronounced him safe.
Athletic players, led by Eddie Col
| Inns, ran in and kicked with might and
main. Connie Mack Wis waggcd with
his score card and Schaug walked to
the Philadelphia bench, followed by
! the kicking Athletics.
What was the trouble at the plate"
Mack asked of Schang. Didn't you

NO, | missed him was Schang's
surprising reply.

keep UP CONSTANT
ARTILLERY ATTACK

Paris, Nov. 1.-The allied lines are
holding firmly against 4 fierce contin-
uous attack OF the Germans in the
vicinity Of Ypres.
At the war Office it is declared the
Germans are bringing tremendous
pressure to bear in an effort to crush
the allies defense.
The roar of big guns is incessant,
as the Germans keep UP a constant
artillery fire under cover of which in
fantry assaults are made upon the
British and French.
British warships are again reported
to be supporting the allied left wing.
In the determined attack being made
by the Germans Ypres is declared to
have been reduced to mass of ruins.
Not a single inhabitant remains in
the town. Public buildings have been
sent tumbling by shells.
There is little doubt that the fight
ing about Ypres, which has been in
progress almost constantly for nearly
two weeks, may prove the bloodiest of
the war to date. The Germans con-
tinue to attack in massed formation,
endeavoring to carry the allied trench
es by sheer force of numbers.
