Titles. TWO DEGREES
COST TEN DOLLARS EACH

these letters We're sent out and Farr
made some money out of it. Few il
any of the people holding these degrees
ever went to Nashville. Some few may
have been dupes but the majority are
as arrant knaves and frauds as Farr
himself.
Judge Little had the degrees of Phi.
d. and LII. d. conferred on him in
place for the purpose of being exam
ined as to his fitness or otherwise. A
short time after this Farr advertised
Little as the president of the Board OF
Trustees and in a circular issued in the
spring of 1900 it was announced that
Judge Little would deliver the COM
present at the time Farr announced
that the judge could not come but had
sent on his commencement address to
be read. He did read it and a fine
specimen of a Littletonian Grafton it

garnished with flowers from the gar
dens of rhetoric, but empty and ridicu-

nessee on relation of the Bar Associa-
tloll VI A>dSllNl llt pioScSu-
ings against the Nashville College of
Law alleging that it was practicing a
fraud on the public. The court entered
a decree against Farr and the College
annuling the charter and forbidding the
granting of more degrees. At this time
an inquiry was started as to Judge Lit
tie, the reputed president of the Board
of Trustees, but no one knew anything
- l.; liz caI
that he was a myth.
After the closing of the college by the
courts Farr continued to grant degrees
until few months ago when the U. S.
District Attorney at Nashville had him
brought before the grand jury and in
dicted for fraudulently using the mails.
The indictment is still pending. No ac-
ton has yet been taken against the
president of the Board of Trustees, but
full statement of DR.. Little's connec-
ton with the fraudulent scheme is filed
in the office of the Attorney General.
In making an investigation of the mat
ter, one of the members of the Bar
Association of Nashville wrote to Farr
for information and the following reply
settled the matter:
washington, d. c., Jan. 80, 1904.
Mr.. P. M. Estes, Nashville, Tenn.
MY Dear Sir: In response to your
inquiry of recent date I beg to advise
you that DR.. Little received the LII. ID.
degree from the Nashville College of
Law, in recognition of his services as
a lawyer. DR.. Little was to have deliv-
cred the address to which you refer in
the Nashville Institution but was here
Washington at the time and, owing
to engagements with officials here, was
unable to come at the time.
Awaiting your further pleasure, be-
leve me, my dear sir,
Very truly yours,
civilian FAIR"

1t is almost three months since r. d.
Baldwin's resignation of the Office of
Sub-Agent of Public Lands for the Is.
land of Hawaii was required by dlrec-
ton of Governor Carter. Yet 1t was

eminent so far as the moneys collected
by him were concerned
Mr.. Baldwin paid over to his success
sor, George H. Williams, in two checks
that day the amount of s4716.26 or there
about. Nearly three-fourths of the
amount was paid three hours or so prior
to the arrival in Hilo of ]. w. Pratt,
Commissioner of Public Lands, and f.
C. Peters, Deputy Attorney General,
who went there to investigate the busi-
ness of the Sub-Agency. The balance
of $1,000 was paid after the arrival of
the officials.
All of the accounts and records of the
Sub-Agency under the incumbency of
Mr.. williams were found perfectly
straight by Messrs Pratt and Peters.
1t was upon discoveries made by Mr..
williams that the investigation took
place. Prior to his appointment as Sub
Agent of Public Lands, Mr.. Williams
was First Deputy Tax Assessor and
Collector at Hilo.
William X. Ragsdale, Land Office
ranger for the 9Th and 9Th districts I'M

Judge Gilbert F. Little of the Fourth
Circuit has again been exposed. This
time he is caught attaching spurious
university degrees to his name and act
ing as one of the people who confer
such degrees for money. The following
autobiograp hical sketch is taken from
Who's Who in America, for 1903:

Hilo, II. l."
A recent public prosecution by the
Federal authorities of an institution
variously called the Nashville College
of Law and the National College of Law
has brought to light that Judge Lit
ties scholastic knighthood was confer
red by the Nashville College of Law
and that the cost of his two degrees of
Doctor was ten dollars each. The de-
grees were conferred in September, 1885,
just before the Colonel went to
Washington to work for his appoint
ment as judge.
The institution with the alias has had
an interesting history. Some years ago
John William Farr opened law col
iege in Chattanooga and had associat-
ed with him a few reputable lawyers
These deserted him and assisted in
driving him out of town when it was
discovered that Farr was engaged in
selling degrees to persons who had
never taken any course in the college,
From thence Farr went to Nashville
and opened the Nashville College of
Law. Few students ever came to his
classic halls and none remained long.
The head of the place was carrying on
vigorous campaign of education. how
ever, and was sending his degrees to all
parts of the world.
The operation of making a full fledg-
ed Doctor of Laws or Master of Arts
was simple. Farr would write a grand
Eloquent letter to some man of cheap
tendencies informing him that "in ac-
cordance with time honored custom"
the trustees of the college at its next
meeting would designate certain men of
literary or scientific attachments to be
the recipient of some honorary degree.
The party was informed that it was
exceedingly becoming the "onferrinS
such degree that the recipient be pres
ent at the ceremony but if this was
impossible it could be dispensed with.
The letter stated that no fee would be
asked but a charge of ten dollars was
made to cover the cost of engrossing
the diploma. A few days later the man
of cheapness would get another letter
to the effect that the board had con-
ferred the degree, that the diploma is
in the process of making and that the
remittance was due. Thousands of

moneys was deemed to be so contrary
to sound and safe policy that MIR. Pratt
removed him on the spot for incom-
potency. Mr.. Ragsdale was found to
have treated his collections of fees and
rentals as private funds, depositing
them in bank to his personal account
without entering the payments up in
the Office records. He even attempted
to justify this mode of exercising his
public trust, putting forward the plea
that he was able at any time to pay
the Government its dues. 1t was rep
resented by him that he was but follow
ing an old custom of the Sub-Agency
in Withholding receipts of money until
the land patents were obtained from
the head office in Honolulu.
Mr.. Pratts intention Is to appoint
two rangers, one for each district, in
place of Mr.. Ragsdale at salaries re-
spectively of $50 and $50 a month. APP
plications for the positions will be re-
ceived by him, but in each case must
have the endorsement of the precinct
club and the district committee of the
Republican party.
What If anything may be done by the
Government in the cases of the off,
Gals found to have withheld public
moneys after they should have been
accounted for and paid over to the Land
Office remains to be seen. Technically
such conduct has hard name. Wheth-
er custom derived from predecessors is
a shield or only delusion to the delin-
quents may be the problem with which
the authorities are confronted.

To Be Depended On
Because 1t Is the Experience
of a Honolulu Citizen and
Can Readily be In
vestigated.

A stranger lost in q large city would
place far more dependence on the d.
rections given him by local resident
than the guidance of another stranger
like himself. This is a natural conse-
quence of experience: it's like a ship
IN a strange port-a trusty pilot sami-
liar with the harbor is always called
upon to bring her safely to her moor
ings. So it is with endorsement; we
doubt the sayings of people living at a
distant point because we can't investi-
gate. but public expression of local
citizens can be depended upon, for tits
an easy matter to prove 1t. Evidence
like the following is beyond dispute:-
Mr.. w. F. Williams of this city. is a
lighthouse keeper, and he has held this
position for the last 80 years. He says:
II was for a number of years. one OF
that numerous army of people who

AS heretofore stated, applicants for tn e
postmastership are springing up. Post
master Crupper says when the proper
time comes he will be an applicant for
reappointment, but that as his term OF
office does not expire until April ~,
1906, he has not thought it necessary at
this time to get up petition.
