The news of the death of Chief Jus
tice Judd spread rapidly, and very soon
afterwards messages of coincidence be-
gan coming in to the bereaved family.
Many of the most intimate friends call
ed in person to bear their testimony of
respect for the departed, and their
words of sympathy to the family.
Early this morning large numbers OF
native Hawaiians, nearly all of the old
er generation, who had known the de-
parted throughout his life, many of
whom had known his father, gathered
at the residence to testify according 70
the old Hawaiian custom, their respect
and love for the departed and their grief
at his death.
The number of floral remembrances
was very large, and they kept coming
almost upto the hour of the funeral.
Throughout the city there was evil
dence everywhere of the respect In
which the deceased was held. The pub
/, lie schools We're dismissed for the day.
Flags were at half-mast on many
buildings. The stock exchange voted
: to hold no afternoon session, and stores
very generally closed at noon.
, Announcement of the death was made
at the opening of all the courts, includ-
ing the District court, and adjourn
ments taken.
Government offices closed at 12 o'clock
noon out of respect to the memory of
: the late Chief Justice Judd. Early this
morning flags over the two buildings
were lowered to half-mast Consular
flags in town were also half-masted.
The Cabinet met at 10 o'clock, at
which the death of the Chief Justice
was announced. A resolution of condo
lence to the family was adopted and
. will be submitted tomorrow.
1t was decided by the members of the
Cabinet to attend the funeral unoffic-
tally in a body. The desire of the fam
lily was for an informal funeral, al
5 though the Chief Justice is entitled TO
State recognition. On account of this
- expression from the family no further
official form than indicated will be car
ried out.
