1. ““It ai>pears very clearly from these facts that Ota is not an alien immigrant, and tile commissioner of immigration and the Secretary of the Treasury, if the same facts wore before those officers, erred in ordering him to be returned to Japan as such. The act of March 3, 1891, c. 551, 26 Stat. 1021 [U. S. Comp. St. 1901, p. 1294], under which the order for the deportation of Ota is admitted, to be justified, does not apply to aliens domiciled in this country, and who are returning thereto after a temporary absence.””

2. ““Under this statute, when the executive officers of the government, upon a hearing such as is contemplated by the law, have decided that an alien is not entitled to enter the United States, the courts are without jurisdiction to review that determination upon questions either of law or fact. The finding of these officers that an alien seeking to land is an immigrant is as conclusive upon the court, in a proceeding like this, as their finding in relation to any other fact affecting the right of the alien to land.””
