Do NOT WANT
JUDGE LITTLE
A PETITION DECLARING THAT HE
is PREJUDICED AGAINST HA-
wAIIAN JURORS.

A Home Rule petition is being cir
culated on Hawaii and Maui asking
President Roosevelt not to reappoint
Circuit Judge Little of the Fourth Cir
cult. Hlo. 1t is as follows:
To Theodore Roosevelt, President Of
the United states.
MIR President: The undersigned, cit
izens Of the Territory of Hawaii, re-
spcctfully petition that upon the eX-
piration of his term of office, the Hon
orable Gilbert f. Little, Judge of the
Fourth Circuit of the Territory Of
Hawaii, be not reappointed among
other reasons for the reason that said
Judge has openly and unqualifiedly an
nounced his opposition TO the placing
of any citizen of Hawaiian extraction
upon the juries empaneled in his Court
and has and is now carrying out this
policy in the empaneling of juries in
his Circuit thereby creating race juries
which the Congressional Act organic
ing the Territory of Hawaii abolished
and is opposed to.
1--WE submit, an investigation of this
charge by the Department of Justice,
will show that Judge Little is opposed
to Hawaiian jurors because of their
nationality and practically without re-
gard to the personal qualifications of
SuCn jurors Ut lHelT ulueSS " SSiNN'
his opposition, amounting to this, that
the Hawaiians have had their day and
are not considered by him fit jurors
anyhow, whoever they are, and in this
connection we state that under eX-
listing laws the Judge has had prac-
tically supreme control of the selec-
ton of jurors so that Judge Little is
in a position to enforce and carry out
his prejudices, and we submit that in
vestigation will show that he is car
rying out his preiudices and that the
jury list of his Court shows such a
small percentage of Hawallans as to
prove that the juries are drawn on
race lines with only just enough Ha-
waiians on the jury to technically es-
cape the accusation that juries are
drawn on race lines in his court, all
of which is very respectfully submit
