HUMPHREYS AND
THE KERO CASE

Editor Advertiser: In the Bulletin
of yesterday, the following statement
is made in regard to the case of Mo-
rita Keizo. namely:
''Morito Keizo's case is the cause of
a controversy between Judge Gear and
A. S. Humphreys as to who should
really be the attorney for the man.
Humphreys is now acting in that ca
pacity, but Gear claims that the man
was originally his client and that Hum
phreys took him away.
Gear states that he has now in his
office copies of writ of habeas corpus
which was to be presented to the Su-
preme Court and one for the United
States District Court. The petitions
were not presented, as Gear was wait
ing to see what action the Governor
would take in the way of committing
Morito's sentence. Humphreys in the
meantime, he says, got hold of the
prisoner and persuaded him not to
sign the papers, and succeeded in steal
ing Gears client

concluded with France would allay these mis-
givings which exist in this country with regard
to her intentions. This would not only tend to
promote economic relations between the two
countries to their mutual advantage but would
also relieve the United States of the necessity
of investing large amount of money in costly
defences of the Pacific Coast, of Hawaii and of
the Philippines against The danger of a Japan

be far more proftably employed in other diYec-
tions-
That the japanese may hesitate about con-
Guiding any treaty with the United States Of
character analogous to that which she has just
negotiated with France, and Of which the sum
total is that she pledges herself to abstain from
any attack upon Frances colonial possessions
in the Far East is more than probable The
hesitation in that event will be open to one of
two constructions. Either it will mean that
Japan is determined TO insist upon the removal
of all restrictions now imposed upon her citi-
zens in America before consenting to the estab-
lishment of any entente cordiale, or else 1t will
imply that the Mkado and his people have hos
tile designs upon the Philippines and upon the
Sandwich Islands, and are determined to main
tain the supremacy the Pacific now enjoyed
by the Empire of the Rising Sun.
1t is a supremacy that, whatever may be said
TO the contrary is incontestable and the most
striking and eloquent proof thereof is furnished
by the fact that those great Christian powers
possessed of colonial dependencies in the Far
Orient are. after the other, approaching
