Passed Away Peacefully
Last Evening.
The END WAS EXPECTED
MS Bedside Surrounded by all Memb-
erS of His Family Except
ing One Son.

| NlDeft r. Judd. Chief Justica NJ tIa-
wall died last evening at 1880 o'clock
at his residence on Nuuanu stree, af,o.
an illness lasting many months tus
death was hourly expected during tho
day and DIR. Wood, the attending phv-
sician, did not believe he wouId ,,do
o'Hr the afternoon. He sank into nm
consciousness then, and when darkness
came he passed peacefully to the other
world. The immediate family and re1a-
tiyes, together with a few intimate
friends of the late Chief Justice. were
present at his bedside during the last
moments. DIR. Wood, who had been
with the dying jurist almost constantly
mp to late hour in the afternoon. was
absent when the end came.
The news spread fast and was known
IN almost every household in Honolulu
within an hour. Many messages of
coincidence were sent to the widow and
her sons and daughters. and a large
number of friends called in person TO
extend their sympathy and services.
The Chief Justices health began to
fail last summer and he was compelled
TO take a vacation from his labors on
the bench and was finally advised by
his physician to seek rest and change
on the Mainland whence he sailed in
company with Mrs. Judd in September
last. The trip extended to'the Atlantic
ocean, and the interior of New York
state, was sought with view of get
ling rs far as possible from the excite
ment OF the city or the seashore, and
many months were thus passed.
The return TO Honolulu was made
last month when the Chief Justice
came on his last voyage in the steam
ship Australia. His health was then
In precarious condition and cnce
home he was never able to Leave it.
When he died the children were in
Honolulu and at their fathers bedside,
except Henry, who is at Yale College.
The hour for the funeral has been
set for this afternoon at 4 o'clock; it
will take place from the residence.
The final arrangements have not been
fntire,y completed, but the six sons of
the deceased may act as pall-bearers.
rhe members of the Hawaiian Bar AS
sociation will attend in a body, as Will
President Dole and his Cabinet. Mr..
Judd was a Mason, and the fraternal
orders will no doubt attend in a body
TO witness the last said rites which VIII
be conducted by the Rev. William Nor
ris Kincaid OF the Central Union
Church. to which religious body the de-
ceased had been attached during his
lifetime.
President Dole could not be reached
last night TO ascertain whether the
Government offices would be closed,
but inasmuch as the funeral occurs
during the afternoon, an order viii
probably be issued from the President
that the Government should pay all
due respect to the memory Of one OF its
most distinguished officials and sup
porters. The flags on all public build
ings. as well as private buildings, VIII
be half-masted during the day. The
funeral will be public one and the
ceremony will partake OF all the dig
nifty usually accorded to a public man
holding a high position. The Govern
ment band will be present to lead the
solemn funeral cortegs to the final
resting place on the hill. a special
guard OF honor consisting Of two Off
GERS was sent to the residence last
evening by Marshal Brown.
As a result OF their chiefs death,
the Hawaiian Bar Association have
postponed their annual dinner which
was 20 have been given next Friday.
The executive committee OF that body
will probably meet on Tuesday and
make arrangements for the Associa-
tIon TO pay personal tributes to the
honorcd member who has gone from
their midst. Many OF the business
houses will close during the funeral
hour and general sign or respect
will be observed throughout the city
