TO HONGOLIN IDHCRATION Hawaiian Citizens of Any Race Cannot Be Kept Out, Immigration Bureau Makes the Ruling in a Case at Issue. SR Immigration Bureau .at ized citizens of the Hawaiian Islands, ir- dition of servitude, are citizens of the United States, and that the wives and children of such, although aliens, become citizens and acquire the political status of side in the United States, exclusion acts and immigration laws to the contrary notwithstanding. The opinion was called forth by Col- | \@ctor Stratton’s action in the matter of the application of two Chinese sallors on the ship John Currler for admission to the United States, on the ground that they were natives of the Hawallan Islands. | were denied a landing. In his report to | the Secretary. of the Treasury, Collector | Stratton stated that even if the appli- | cants had proved that they were natives fof Hawail he would not have allowed {them to land, they being of the Chincse | race. He asked whether in such a con- | tingency the department would sustain s action. ‘ Commissioner's Opinion. The following reply arrived by mall yes- terday morning, dated March 23: The bureau acknowledges the receipt of your letter of I5th inst. propounding a question of | law in connection with your action in | refusing permission to- land at your | | port to two Chinese satlors who asserted that | they were native born Hawatlap citizens. In the particular caze referred to you state that | their application was refused upon the ground | that they did not present sufficient proof of | | the facts alleged by them In support of their | | claim, but that had such facts heen clearly | | shown, while not clear upon the point, you | are rather inclined tc the beliet that such per- | sons, whether laborers or not, cannot be ldv‘ | mitted into the United States under the pro- | vistons of section 4 of the act of Congress, | | approved April 30, 1800, which prescribes | form of government for the Territory of Hi wall. | This fssue has heretofore been raised by the | Collector of Customs at the port of Honolulu, H. T., and, ‘n the absence of any judicial rullng thereon, was referred to the honorable the Attorney General of the United States. In response to sald reference an administra- tive ruling was returned on January 1§ of the | currént year to the effect that Hawailan borh | persons of the Chinese race having been made | citizens of the republic of Hawall, under the | | section of the act of April 30, 1900, above re- | ferred to, are made citizens of the Territory | of Haivail and of the United States. .Sald | | opinion is hereto appended for your informa- | tion. Respecttully, F. H. LARNED, Acting Commissioner General. Historical Precedents. The questions determined by the opinion of Attorney General Griggs referred to are as follows: 1-Whether a person born in the Ha- wailan Islands in 1885 of Chinese parents who are laborers, and taken to China with his mother in 18%, is ectitled to re-emter the Territory of Hawali. where his father | still restdes? | 2—Whether the wife and children of a | Chinese person, who was naturalized in | 1887 in Hawail and still resides there, ure | entitled to enter that Territory “by virtue | of the citizenship” of the husband and father? Mr. Griggs’ opinion goes on to say the constitution of the republic of Ha- wall provided that “all persons born | or naturalized in the Hawalian | Islands. and subject to the juris- | dietion of the republic are citizens there | of.”” The act of April 30, 1900, providing a government for the Territory of Hawall [declared that “all versons who were citi- | zens of the republic of Hawail on August 12, 1838, are hereby deciarcd to be citizens of the United States and citizens of the | Territory of Hawail.” | The treaty of the cession of Louislana | and the treaty with Mexico and the Alas- ka treaty are quoted as fllustrations of | the taking in as citizens of thc United | States of the natives aud citizens of ceded | and conquered territory. There is one ex- «eption, and that is the bill to provide a | government for Porto Rico. The bill as originally introduced in Congress declared that* all the inhabitants of Porto Rico, with a certain qualification and exception, “shall be deemed and held to be citizcns of the United States.” This provision was stricken out before the blll became law. | CHILDREN OF CHINESE 7 MISSIONS ENTERTAIN Clever Little Ones Show to Advan- tage in Song and Reci- tation.

It afforded the guests from the East a satisfylng sglimpse of what true California hospitality is like and gave the guests of honor a chance to | meet a few of our representative men nd beautiful women. “The old Crocker mansion put on its best dress for the pleasant occasion. The house was illumined from cellar to garret, and rooms that have been closed for many years were thrown open for the pleasure of Mrs. Crocker's - guests. Everywhere flowers were displayed. They filled huge bowls and vases, and the prettiest feature of the decorations was the number and variety of blossoms used. In the great hall palms and potted plants were used exclusively, and when the guests passed from the reception room toithe dining hajl they wended thelr way through an avenue of growing palms. In the dining room oniy the table re- celved the attention of the decorator, and apple blossoms were used exclusively. In the center of the large round was placed u huge old siiver urn, which held the heavily laden branches ‘that formed A most exquisite center piece. The effect was simple, artistic and surpassingly beautiful. James Henry Smith was among the first of Mrs. Crocker's guests to arrive. When stripped of his pale tan overcoat and black derby he ‘“stood revealed” in a black tuxedo. In his polished shirt front glistened an immense pearl stud, sur- rounded by brilliants.

INSANITY ENDS GRIFFIN'S WORK Unfortunate Man Is Sent to the State Asylum ‘at Agnews. The Insanity Commission had a sad duty to perform yesterday in recommend- ing to the Superior Court the commit- ment of Will D. Griffin, late statistician of the Board of Health,to aState hospital for the insane. Griffin wa$ yesterday committed to the asylum at Agnews. In the snuffing out of Griffin there was extinguished a bright mental candle that blazed for a time with great credit to the body that appointed him. The majority of people who knew Griffin looked upon him simply as a very erratic bohemian, who could play the piano beautifully and talk flowingly, but not deeply upon many subjects. either they nor the general public knew that his medical statistics from the Paris Exposition and special {raise froml the Bureau of Statistics at Washington and brought letters of in- uiry and commendation from various orelgn countries to which published copies of the San Francisco health sta- tistics had been sent. Always in the first rank as an expert accountant when he cared to follow such work, Griffin proved a genius as a statis- tician. He was continually enlarging and improving his system, and, had his mind not become clouded, would perhaps have achieved fame in that line. The warrant under which Griffin was arrested was sworn to by his brother Thomas, a prominent rallroad man.of ‘he statisticlan’s mind has g for several months. His nrlncl‘;-.l hallucination is that he is about i1d a. $3,000,000 to buf hotel with interior ar- rangements that would revolutionize the hotel business. Filled with ideas of his duties with the Health Board, he would get up in the middle of the night to fig- ure out imaginary statistics. Statisticlan Griffin was at one time an officer in the National Guard. He was left a large sum of money by his father, a well-| n._ citizen, but it did not take him long to spend it. as he was of a most liberal and oben-hearted disposition, no friend suffering while he had money. Griffin resided for some time in the State of Sonora, Mexico. and speaks Spanish fluently. He was married only a f months ago to an estimable lady. soef Berkeley Professor Lectures.

Mrs. Henarie finally broke | this agreement, however, and _instituted | | proceedings for divorce and half of the | community propérty. This case was dropped, however, before judgment had | been rendered. Upon the dismissal of this | action in January, 1387, another, agree- ment was entered into between Mr. and Mrs. Henarle, in which, for a considera- | tion of $90,000. she agreed to surrender all| claim to any portion of his estate. | After Henarle's death, however, Mrs. Henarie filed a petition for distribution to | her of one-half of her husband’s estate. | | In opposition to her petition the agree- ment entered into in 1587 was produced. | This agreement, Judge Coffey holds, is| valid and binding and hence the petition | | for * distribution is denied.

LHWLOR GIVEN JOB BY GAGE -Health Officer Will Su- perintend Cleansing of Chinatown. PRSEFS RN The plans for cleaning Chinatown under the auspices of the State Board of Health have been practically settled. Some one had to be named as the head man respon- sible for the expenditure of the State's share of the money, and Governor Gage settled this point by appointing Dr. W. P. Lawlor tc boss the sanitary j.o%. This is a good billet for Dr. Lawlér, but the superintendency of the Ukiah Hospi- tal for the Insane would be more to his Iking. The knowledge of sanitary affairs and the general information on other toples which Dr. Lawlor can acquire as the work of cleaning L‘Mm\(u!n progresses may prove useful to the State in the years to come. Meanwhile Dr. Lawlor will inspect the labor payrolls and scan the bills for lime, carbolic acid and other health-pro- moting supplies. —————— Robbery Charge Not Proved.
