Stanley Bates came to Honolulu and
secured employment as storekeeper at
the Moana Hotel. After several months
in that position he was called home by
the death of his father. Young Bates's
patrimony- amounted to 100000. He
married q very beautiful girl at that
time and they came to Honolulu on
their honeymoon. They We're lavish in
their expenditures and owned horses
and rigs. Mrs Bates was beautifully
dressed woman and attracted many ad-
mirers, among them being several mar
Iied men. The Bateses We're present at
all outdoor sports polo baseball foot
ball. etc. and wherever they went Mr..
Bates's beauty was loadstone OF at
traction.
Their money went fast. Bates finally
engaged in the business of lending
money In time. however it was ru-
mored that ne had gone broke. He
sold his horses and finally departed
with his wife for the coast. where
Bates eTuned his former occupation of
employment in hotels.

Stanley Bates. who had a meteoric ca
reer in Honolulu about three years ago,
is a prisoner in the city Jail at San
francisco on charge of having at
tempted to pass a fictitious check on
John j. Daugheney saIoonkeeper at
Fourth and Folsom streets A felony
charge could not be proved. as the
check in question could not be found.
Bates asserts he was only joking when
ne asked Daugheney to cash the check.
Independent of this transaction. how
ever, Daugheney holds Bates's order on
one j. King for $65. 1t is asserted that
Bates had no account with King at the
time, but was in arrears with King. by
whom Bates was employed as a clerk in
the st. Clement Hotel.
The Examiner of February 8 says of
Bates:
The temptation to lead a steady. in
dustrious, self-respecting career has not
yet diverted the attention of Stanley
Bates from forbidden pathways IN
stead of choosing a clear cour.e on an
open sea he steers his craft into dan
gerous waters and, naturally, comes to
grief
The evidence against the prisoner is
so slight that he may be released. the
check not having been discovered in
any monetary channel as yet. Bates
declares that he destroyed the paper,
which had been made out as a joke.
L had no intention of passing the
check" Bates stated yesterday. i
showed it to Daugheney just for fun
There were several standing a the bar
and 1 took it out of my pocket with a
remark that l guess l will have good
time now, or something to that effect.
Afterward 1 tore it up. They can't
hold me, because L never intended to
accept money on it,.
A fatal fondness for gambling has
played havoc with Bates. Three years
ago he inherited 100000 cash from his
fathers estate and soon squandered
every cent of it. He married upon re
ceiving his money and went to Honolulu
on a honeymoon trip. For eighteen
months after going broke" Bates was
employed as clerk in the st. Clement
Hotel at Fourth and Folsom streets.
Daily toll being irksome he enliVened
it with irregularities that lost him his
job and held him prisoner in the hotel
until his shortage, $675. was made good
by his mother. For the past month he
has been unemployed.

NEW Works. JUDICIARY.

District Attorney jerome, in a recent
banquet speech. made q wholesale at
tack on the New York judiciary. The
system Of eleeting judges by popular
vote. ne declared. resulted IN judges
owing their elevation to the bench TO
political machines.
In this city" he said, you viii hear
lawyers who object to bringing cases
before judges because they 1.-THE judges
are close TO this or that political lead
81, or to this or that commercial in
terest."
As q remedy for this alleged 'coadi-
ton Nh. Jerome would substitute Il
state Judiciary 10 De appointed by the
governor, The judges to serve during
good behavior, While this remedy
Iaight improve the judiciary IA isolated
instances, L. is TO be doubted II it
would increase popular confidence in
the bench.
Federal judges are appointed by the
president OF the United states ana
serve during good behavior. Yet, es-
pe-ialIy i'm recent years. there has been
much popular clamor that the federal
bench was under the domination of cor
porte influences. This feeling, true,
mas been confined largely to luymcn
and does not extend TO lawyers. But
it is essential to the welfare and sta
bility Of our Institutions that the gen
eral public shall have confidence in
the Judiciary: and, while popular pre-
judicc and clamor against the federal
Judiciary has probably na substantial
basis in fact, that does not alter the
fact that such clamor does exist.
The truth is that. except in few
cases. the Judiciary of the United
States. either elective or appointive, is
honest and upright. The instances Of
judicial corruption are rare-so rare
that when they do occur they are the
subject OF great public scandal and
cutlery. Were the American Judiciary
not one Of integrity American institu-
tons could not endure. The govern
meut itself would perish. 1t is a no
ticeable fact that an elective judge
who betrays the sacred trust Teposed
in him does not as a rule serve more
than one term: and that the appointive
federal judiciary is above suspicion IS
proven by the exceeding rarity OF the
attempts 10 impeach a federal judge.
The New York press. almost without
exception, has arraigned Mr. Jerome
severely for his hasJy and apparently
il-considered attack on the New York
bench. That his denunciarion was ut
tered in haste is shown by the fact
that he has remained silent unoer the
challenge Of the press to name the
judges who are either guilty of cor
ruption outright or who pay a greater
allegiance TO commercial and political
interests than TO the interests of the
general public.

I ocKs VS.. SEA LEVEL.

A question that 5 sure 20 agitate
/ congress considerably soon after the
holiday recess is as to whether the
Panama ditch shall be a lock system
or a sea level canal. The president
is insisting on a lock canal. despite
the fact that n majority of the inter-
national board of engineers voted
against it. There were seven eminent
American engineers on that hoard. and
OF the number fve voted for. 4. lock
system. .....-
Those who so voted were Stearns,
constructor Of Boston's great water
system; Ripley, who had charge Of the
digging Of the 500 canal: Noble. de-
signer of mammoth Pennsylvania
railway improvements; Randolph, head
Of the engineering board of the Chi
cago drainage canal; Abbott, a highly
! esteemed army engineer These gem
tlemen are all Of high standing in their
profession.
Further, the chief engineer of the
canal John +. Stevens. is outspoken
in favor Of locks; so is a majority OF
the Panama canal commission. II is
pointed out that the locks win greatly
decrease the cost If construction, make
it possible TO estimate the cost OF the
undertaking and to complete it in a
much briefer period OF time. The state
ment is made that the cost of a sea
level canal cannot be even approx
mately estimated, nor the time that
viii be needed for the construction.
All that is known is that it viii be
vastly more expensive than a lock sys-
tenn, though the latter would be more
expensive OF operation.
The reasons appear to be sound ones.
Yet the question arises: Shall we dis
regard the opinions C the eminent for
eiguers whose services we have called
into reduisition. Mr.. Roosevelt says
YES" II remains to be seen what

NEEDS OF ALASKA.

The Herald has received q memorial
on the legislation that is needed in
Alaska, addressed TO the people, the
congress and the president of the Unit
cd States and signed by a committee
that is said 10 represent 10000 Ameri-
cans in Alaska. The memorial starts
with q statement OF Alaska's resour-
ces. We are told that i'm he precious
metals o. gold. silver and copper. and
u deposits o. coal tin aud iron ore,
Alaska IS the worlds richest store
house"
Continuing, the memorial tells some
thing about the agricultural possibiH-
ties OF Alaska and OF its vas, supply
Of timber. Il SIS said that the valleys
correspond IN area, latitude and cii-
matte conditions with portions Of
northwestern Europe. containing 16.-
zoe 600 enlightened and prosperous peo-
pie. The 90 600 Americans in the ter
ritory are working as hard and as
intelligently SIS they can to develop
the country, but they arc badly ham
dicapped by adverse legislation as wen
SIS by the lack OF favorable lae-s.
For example, Alaska is the only
American territory. Il We except the
Philippines, that has no representation

ways have somebody in Washington
looking after their interests. Nobody
however, seems 10 pay amy attention

should be Tor the passage OF an act

The defendants all reside in Navajo and

pleaded guilty. with the exception OF two.
and one of them. L. VI. Savage. changed

be possible at this time to grant her
