KALUA TO GO
TO M0L0KA|.
Lepers Want Him
to Hear Their
Appeal.

Judge Kalua will probably visit
the leper settlement before the close of
the present term of court to try two
cases that have been appealed to him.
He has written to Attorney General
Andrews asking what the custom has
been with reference to the cases at
the settlement, and Mr.. Andrews re-
quested that he make the trip.
1t has been years since term of
court has been held at Kalaupapa,
Judge Kalua has been on the bench
for about three years and has never
held term of court in the settlement
The lepers think that they have
hard time trying to get justice. For
long time they didn't have any court
at all, and all troubles were settled
by the superintendent, as none of the
district magistrates outside the set
Element could be induced to come in.
About year ago an effort was made
to do away with the complaints res
pecting the lack of justice, and Gov
ernor Dole commissioned j. X. Nath-
aniel as district magistrate. Judge
Nathaniel has been giving the lepers
trifle more of justice than they want
ed, however. He held the office, and
though there wasn't any salary con-
nected with 1t, he intended to have
all the honor that might go with it.
He couldn't get any OF the honor with
out holding court, and he couldn't
hold court without attorneys, he
thought. So he proceeded straightway
upon his appointment to examine var
ious friends for admission to the bar.
eyed man, and others similarly
afflicted were among the first
batch that were permitted to practice
in his court. The next thing was to
get prisoners to be tried, and so a few
ava sellers were arrested. Then an
other man charged with assault was
brought within the meshes of the law.
Nathaniel distributed justice with such
unevenly balanced scales that the
lepers who had been asking for a
district magistrate began to request
that he be removed. Judge Perry Of
the Supreme Court was finally sent
down to examine into Nathaniel's &C.
lions but he couldn't do anything, and
Nathaniel still holds court.
One thing, however, the lepers can
appeal from his decisions, and this
they have done in the two cases In
which he convicted the defendants and
sentenced them. It Is these cases that
Judge Kalua has been asked to try
and he may go down this term II he
finishes his work at Wailuku in time.
The island of Molokai Is part of
Kalua's judicial district, but the lepers
are never called to serve on his juries.
Two cases have been appealed to
Judge Kalua at chambers, and ordin-
arily the parties involved would go to
him, but the rules of the settlement
prevent this, and so the judge will
have to go to Kalaupapa.
