Home RULERS IN CONVENTION
DELEGATES FROM ALL OVER THE TERRITORY MEET TO,
ELECT OFFICERS FOR THE PARTY ORGANIZATION
THE MORNING SPENT IN TALK-WILCOX AND KA-
LAUOKALANI IN AN ALPHONSE AND GASTON SKIT

The Home Rule territorial convention
assembled on Maunakea street this
morning for the purpose of reorganizing
the party and electinS the officers of the
rejuVenated crowd
As special visitors there We're present
Delegate Kuhio, Senator Palmer
Woods and EX-Delegate Robert w.
Wilcox. Neither the Republican dele
gate nor the Democratic senator made
speeches, but the eX-Delegate did. In
addition to those prominent political
spectators, all natives and sympathiz-
ers with the Home Rule party present
Senator ID. Kalauokalani, the presi-
dent, called the meeting to order. Rep
resentative d. Kupihea acted as secre-
tary as usual. Prayer was offered by
Representative Oili after which the
reading of the roll was begun. 1t was
decided that a sthere were some new
delegates and a number of substitutes
that a committee of three be appointed
to examine their credentials. The fol-
lowing committee was appointed: S. X.

recess of ten minutes was taken to en-

MORE TRIBUTES TO
THE LATE JUDGE WILCOX
OF THE BAR EXPRESS THEMSELVES IN THE
SUPREME COURT-RESOLUTIONS ARE ORDERED
SPREAD ON THE RECORD AND THE CHIEF JUSTICE
JOINS IN HONORING THE DECEASED

worthy citizen, a faithful and efficient
public officer and a brave man"
General Hartwell, said that the senti-
ment Of regard for William Luther
Wilcox in this community has been
general and unqualified. In the press
of this city, in the District Court, the
Circuit and Federal Courts. testimonials
to his worth have been given. and the
Bar Association was now paying it's
last solemn tribute, in this same Su-
preme court, though with different
jurisdiction, in which Wilcox began his
public work in 1868 The beautiful
thing about these testimonials is that
they are spontaneous and sincere"
said General Hartwen. Judge Wilcox
was a man of such simple, unaffected
nature that eulogy seems out of place.
l remember well when at the age of IS
in the year 1868 he became the inter-
prefer to the supreme court. He kept
to the last, to my eye, the same boyish
look half serious, half humorous, the
same poise of the head the same gait.
His work as an Interpreter was simply
unique. Others might translate the
words of a witness, but Luther Wilcox
interpreted the speaker himself He
appeared to identify himself with the
witness and reproduce the witness per-
sonaity. There is no doubt that his
wonderful power could have enabled
him to influence cases by suggestion
which no one could have seen pass
from him to witnesses, but no one ever
conceived the possibility of Wilcox
doing such a thing" General Hart
well said that Wilcox took no credit
for what he did, but simply did his
duty because it was his nature to do
so. His advice to Hawaiians had
been conservative and good, especially
after the troubles of '93. 1T is rare
instance in the history of these islands
to find record of So years of honorable
quiet public service" said Hartwell i'm
conclusion II consider Luther Wilcoxs
memory and life a part of the wealth
of Hawaii"
Former Attorney General e. P. Dole
also gave testimony to Wilcox's fear
lessness and fairness, and referred to
him as a Judge who tempered justice
with mercy when It could be rightly
done. All who had known him as a
citizen and friend and neighbor would
cherish his memory as long as they
lived, said Dole.
His judgments whether harsh or
mild were always delivered with kindly
feeling" was one of Judge Kaulukou's
remarks "and when he had to give a
harsh judgment he always went af-
terwards to the man he had sentenced
and expressed sympathy and sorrow
that he had had to do it," Kaulukou
said that among Hawaiians there was
only one voice and that was Aloha
Wilcox. Hawaiians all over the ISL
ands remember him for what he was
said the judge, and all would drop a
tear to his memory.

In that event l shall have to call the
police court calendar at eight o'clock
every morning." said Davis.
There is another district magistrate
is there not?" asked Frear 1t is ru-
mored that Dickey smiled at this stage
of the proceedings.
Davis informed the court that he
would only have one witness and that
would be B. F. Dillingham;. He supplied
Andrews with a copy of his answer in
court, handing it to him with a cere-
monious wave of the hand. He said he
had left a copy at the police station on
Saturday night, to be served on An
drews He wanted it back when An
drews got it. 'T have spent enough on
typewriting which l ought to have
spent on sickness" said Davis, land l
don't propose to spend any more"
Magoon said that his answer was just
being corrected by the typewriter and
Andrews would be served with a copy
at once.

said that they We're come together to
elect a president 1t was in their power
and their power alone, to choose whe-
ther they would re-elect himself or
choose a new man. He urged harmony
Robert Wilcox followed with an ad-
dress. Wilcox said that they must be
firm and that their cry should be "Ha-
waii for the Hawaians." He urged that
there be harmony.
The minutes of the last convention
" ere read There w~S some discussion
over approving them because the name
of j. Poepoe appeared as having made
some motions, when Poepoe had not
been a member of the convention. 1t
was decided to approve the minutes
with the necessary amendments.
The real issue of the convention whe-
ther Kalauokalani'H leadership of the
party should be overthrown, was de-
ferred. 1t had beeN thought that there
might be a hot fight on the issue be-
tween the Kalauokalani and Wilcox
forces, but the matter was postponed
indefinitely. The postponement came i'm
the form of a change of the order of
business.
Some of the delegates wanted to pro-
Ceed at once with the election of pres-
dent. Others wanted to hear the reports
of the various officers of the party read.
There was considerable discussion on
this point. 1t was finally decided to
hear the reports first. A recess until ,
p. m. today was taken.

APPEARANCE IN THE SUPREME COURT THIS MORNING
IN THE DISBARMENT CASES-COURT REFUSES TO
EXCUSE DAVIS FOR MAGISTRATES DUTIES AND
FREAR HINTS THAT DICKEY CAN ACT.

The disbarment cases of George A.
Davis and j. Alfred Magoon were called
in the Supreme Court this morning.
Both the attorneys We're present and
announced themselves as ready for the
hearing. Andrews stated that he had
not received copies of answers of either
attorney and wanted at least until this
afternoon to look over such answers.
Davis asked the court to hear his case
in the afternoon sessions. He stated
that he was engaged in the morning in
the police court, where he was filling
the position of magistrate in the abb
sence of Governor Dole, for whom he
had the highest esteem 81

that the Magoon case would be taken

Several seconds to these resolutions
were made. Before any action on the
resolutions was attempted a recess was
taken until p. m. today.
But the object of the resolutions was
perfectly plain At the time that the
resolutions were offered there were only
two white men in the convention hall,
r. Caypless and a representative of the
Star. AS representatives of other pa
pers there were present w. H. Coney
of the Bulletin, F. ]. Testa of the In
dependent and several natives to repre-
sent presumably native papers. The
names of all of these men, every one of
whom was a native, were among those
mentioned in the resolution as being in
vited to remain in the convention. No
mention was made either of the Star
representative or the Advertiser be-
ing present.
CaypleSS was among those who was
asked to be present, so the only other
white man In the hail. the representa-
tive of the Star was pointedly excluded
The action was so pointed that there
could not be the slightest doubt as to
the desire on the part of the members
to exclude any white man who repre-
sented interests which might not be
subservient to the wishes of the dele
gates.
Action was deferred however until
of q
recess prevailed.

For the last time members of the Bar
Association gathered this morning to
add to the many tributes in honor of
the late Judge Luther Wilcox. Though
there have been many other similar
meetings and numerous addresses have
been made there was a representative
gathering again today and several of
the older members Of the bar spoke in
the highest terms of the deceased,
Chief Justice Freau adding a final
eulogy. The proceedings were record
ed and they will form a part of the
next volume of Hawaiian Supreme
court reports.
w. o. Smith, as President of the Bar
Association, called upon A. F. Judd,
chairman of the committee on Wilcox
resolutions, and the latter presented
the following resolutions moving that
they be spread on the records of the
court:
Whereas, William Luther Wilcox a
member of the Bar of the Supreme
Court of the Territory and District Ma
gistrate of Honolulu has been taken
from us by death.
Resolved that the members of the
Bar here assembled place on record our
feeling of personal loss in his death and
our sincere appreciation of his genial
disposition as a man; his sound COM

ness as a friend.

years of his official life. 1 was with
him in his last illness and present
