STILL HOPE
Of EXHIBIT
Business Men Will
Discuss the
Fair.

A joint meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce, Merchants Association, the
Hawaii Promotion Committee, and the
Exposition Association will be held
this afternoon at two o'clock to con-
the St. Louis Exposition. Since
Worlds Fair Commissioner Macfar-
lane has learned from Governor Carter
that no money would be available for
an exhibit, he has been trying to in
terest the business men of the city in
raising funds by subscription in order
that Hawaii may not be the only Ter
ritory unrepresented at the exposition
or represented only by a hula show.
The meeting this afternoon will be held
at Castle & Cooke hall and it is ex-
pected that there will be large and
representative attendance. The bust
ness community is almost a unit in the
opinion that Hawaii should be repre-
sented at st. Louis and the only differ
erence is as to the method by which
this result can be obtained. Some of
the members of the various organiza-
lions think that the government should
60 ahead with the expenditure of the
$4,000 appropriated by the Legislature,
and although recognizing the sad finan-
cial straits of the Territory, contend
that some other local expense could
better be Topped off than the one for
the fair. There are some also who
feel that an exhibit should be made
even though private firms and corpor-
atoms be compelled to draw upon their
own resources for the payment of eX-
penses. The exhibit which had been
decided upon is almost completed and
the money already spent, which
amounts to some thousands of dollars.
will be wasted If no exhibit Is made.
The fish exhibit the agricultural prod
ucts and the educational exhibit have
already been prepared for shipment,
and the relief map of Pearl Harbor is
also just about completed. The collec-
tion OF Hawaiian woods is also already

and polished at comparatively small
additional expense, The plantation
model and some minor details OF the
exhibit have not been prepared, but
even II these are eliminated, Hawaii
could make ereditable showing with
the products already collected. The
Territory also has on hand about 1900
The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1904-03-25

copies of the handbook of Hawaii,
which were purchased for the express
purpose of distribution at the st. Louis
fair. A goodly portion of the $50, 900
appropriation has already been ex-
pended in getting together the present
exhibit, which is almost valueless If
not forwarded to the exposition.
AT the meeting to be held this after
noon Mr.. Funston, who is now here,
and who is an officer OF the exposition,
will make an address, pointing out
the necessity for Hawaii to make a
proper exhibit. F. w. Macfarlane and
Governor Carter will also talk and
there will be general discussion of
the situation.
The time before the opening of the
exposition is so short now that all
idea of getting a separate building will
very likely have to be abandoned. 1t
is still possible to get space in some of
the larger buildings.

HIS EXAMINATION

So Yong passed his examination for
the lower courts bar with flying COL
ors. 1t is said the committee put him
through strict PAGES, including a stiff
test in Blackstone The young Chi
nese lawyer intends pursuing his stud
les with a view to applying for license
in the higher courts. In it's report,
which here follows, the committee ex-
presses it's approval of the system of
examination initiated by Judge De
Bolt:
To the Honorable ]. T. De Bolt, First
Judge of the First Circuit.
The undersigned having been APP
pointed by your Honor as a committee
to examine into the qualifications Of
Mr.. So Yong to practice in the District
Courts of this Territory and before the
Circuit Judges at chambers on appeal,
beg to report that they have carefully
examined Mr.. So Yong and find him
duly qualified for such practice. They
therefore recommend that his license
be renewed as requested
They wish further to express, as
members of the bar, their entire belief
in the system of referring such cases
to committees OF lawyers, believing
that thereby the best interests of the
profession can be subserved. In the
opinion of your committee 1t has here
tofore been entirely too easy to obtain
licenses for the practice in question.
and fairly strict examination therefor
is for the benefit of both the legal pro-
fession and clients.

THE FIGHT FOR
SUPREME COURT

The Bar Association will hold meet
ing or April 5th "for the purpose of
considering the question of recon-
mending and endorsing three members
of the Bar of this Territory to the
President of the United States and At
torney General for appointment to the
offices of Chief Justice and Associate
Justices of the Supreme Court of this
Territory"
The call is made at the written re-
quest of eleven members and is said
to have been engineered by G. A.
Davis, recently disbarred by the Su-
preme Court, and who is now trying to
get even. The plan to displace the
present members OF the court is also
said to be aided by other attorneys.
The proposed ticket, however, Is ex-
ceedingly strong. 1t calls for the rec
concentration of a. S. Hartwell for
chief justice, and of II. T.. Cooper and
F. NJ. Hatch for associate justices.
Judge HIghton, Judge De Bolt and
Judge Robinson are all reported as
candidates TO succeed Justice Gal
braith, and II the Bar Association de-
cldes To pass upon the publications of
