His smiles were so many Lney scarcely had room on his face. lie was as communicative as usual, that is. he had nothing to say.

ROME, Oct. Pit is now up 10
the United States government to de.
eide whether or not it wishes to estab-
lish and maintain diplomatic relations
with the vatican.
The vatican is anxious to see such
relations established, and to have the
American republic come in footing
with the European governments.
Whether or not the United States
wished, however, to assume such an
attitude toward the papal government
is problematical, and waits to be seen.
As liberal and enticing concession,
looking to the contamination of such
a plan, 1t is announced from the vati-
can today that the papal government
has agreed to appoint an American as
apostolic delegate to Washington, pro-
vided Washington will consent to the
establishment of diplomatic relations.
1t has long been desired by leading
American Catholics, both of the laity
and clergy, that an American should
represent the pope at Washington, and
it is to be expected that influence will
be brought to bear to induce a consid-
GRAFTON of the vatican's terms.

this afternoon amid "much excide-

German that he wanted warrant for
the arrest Of the man who stole his
cat, one foot long, last night.
Schmid is sure he can fnd the right
man, although he was not willing to
call the gentleman by name.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Conner told Schmid that the cat had
nine lives and that there were nine
chances the cat would be recovered
but the excited Mr.. Schmid said his

amounts to about $4,000.
When the firm failed Mr.. F. w.
Lake, a merchant and resident of Atch-
ison, Kan, put in the first claim, alles-
ing that he advanced the firm $4,000.
This claim was disputed by Trustee
Rush and his attorney, 8. R. Stern.
On the trial of the case before Ref
cree Frederick w. Dewart Mr.. Stern
sought to show that Mr.. Lake of Atch-
ison was regular member of the firm,
that he knew the joint capital of Clark
and Lake was about $2400, and that he
advanced his money to them well
knowing the firms financial condition.
Referee Dewart ruled that Lake Of
Atchison was member of the firm,
and that as such member he could
not enter a valid claim against the
bankrupt company.
Attorneys Albert Laughon and
Graves & Graves appealed the case to
Judge Hanford's court. Judge Han
ford overruled Referee Dewart.
The plaintiff appealed to the court
of appeals, which court reversed the
decision of Judge Hanford.
Next, the defendants appealed the
case to the supreme court of the Unit

tanned Referee Dewart and the court

HONOLULU, Oct. 81. - Federal
Judge Morris M. Estee died here TO-
day. Judge Estee was prominent
Californian and the first man to hold
the federal judgeship of the Hawaiian

considered brilliant and profound
authority on legal matters. He was
active in politics, took a leading part
in several national conventions and
was at one time a candidate for the

prominent jurist will be keenly felt
in Hawaii and in the legal circles Of
his native state.
Judge Estee has never enjoyed good
