THE WORK
IS DIVIDED
Three Judges Will
Tackle Long
Calendar.
Davis Wants a Limited
License and Files Il
Ills Appeal.
Mrs. Hind Renouncss Dover for
Annuity-Two Brash
Estates.

There are now more than 440 cases
entered in the calendar of the Septem-
Der term of the First Circuit Court.
OF these 50 are criminal, to which the
grand jury is certain to add many
more. No divorce cases appear, as
under the new law divorces are triable
at chambers.
Notwithstanding the formidable size
Of the calendar, at ITO time since the
Territory was organized has there been
a better prospect of speedy abatement
of congestion. The amended Judiciary
Act not only authorizes all three judges
to hold trials at term simultaneously,
but it provides for a continuous term
up to the summer vacation beginning
July 1.
An order prefixed to the calendar and
signed by Judges De Bolt, Gear and
Robinson prescribes that cases not
ready when called shall go to the foot
of the calendar, and that where but
one party appears when a case comes
up in its order the trial shall neverthe-
demand.
Second Judge Gear. presiding, takes
the criminal cases. First Judge De
Bolt takes the odd, and Third Judge
Robinson the even numbers of civil
cases. The term begins on Monday
pext, but that being Labor Day the
to attend on Tuesday.
MORE DAVIS PAPERS.
George A. Davis, of the disbarred
association, filed two more papers in
the judiciary clerks office yesterday.
The previous day it was petition to
the Supreme Court for a rehearing of
his case. Now Mr.. Davis enters an
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States against the Territorial
Supreme Courts judgment disbarring
him, also petition to First Circuit
Judge De Bolt for admission to the bar
of the District courts of the Territory
and of the Circuit Court of the First
Judicial Circuit.
In his appeal Mr.. Davis sets forth,
as his first ground, that he never was
Court of the Territory of Hawaii or by
any other court of record in the Terri
tory OF Hawaii, hence the order dis
barring him and reYoking his license
was and is null and void
Next he quotes his license as signed
by the late Chief Justice Judd of the
Supreme Court of the Republic of Ha-
wall. The third ground is in sense
but repetition of the first
The fourth ground is that of mo
evidence to sustain the findings and
decision and the fifth that the find
ings are contrary to the law and the
evidence.
In the sixth place it is contended that
Chief Justice Frear, as a party inter-
ested in the result of a suit forming
part of the charge against the appel
liant, was disqualified under the Or
ganic Act to sit in his trial.
Then the appellant denies that he had
| a fair trial and alleges that no COM
plant was filed by his client or any
| person interested.
| The Supreme Court of Hawaii had
| no jurisdiction is next asserted, and
Lorrin Andrews was estopped from
| filing the information after the report
he made stating that there was nothing
| in the record upon which charges
against the appellant could be based.
| Finally: The judgment, order and
! decree is erroneous, invalid and void
| for want of jurisdiction in the Supreme
| Court of the Territory of Hawaii to
| make them and because the said Su-
| preme Court exceeded it's jurisdiction -
| The petition OF Mr.. Davis for adnis-
| sion to the bar of the Circuit and Dis
| trict courts makes no reference to his
| disbarment by the Supreme Court. It
| sets forth that the petitioner is a ma
| tive of Boston. a citizen of the Terri
tory of Hawaii and As years of age;
| that he has studied law for % years
| and that, under a license from Chief
| Justice Judd dated June 10. 1895, he
practiced law in the Republic of Ha-
wall until April 80. 1900, when the Re-
public of Hawaii fully ceased to exist
and at which time the Act to provide
a government for the Territory of Ha-
waii became the law of this Territory
of the United States
