MANILA PRIEST TAKES
UP JUDGE WHITLEY

Father J. r. Chouza, canon and
Mia, has written an open letter to
Judge L. R. Whitley, of the United
States District Court for China at
Shanghai. 1t criticizes the recent de-
cision in a probate case wherein Judge
Wiley passed reflections on the Catho-
lie clergy in their dealings with the
estates of dead persons. Father Chou
"a quotes history to show that sover-
eigns have from ancient times, ''not
having sufficiently educated men to de-
eide these questions" delegated pro-
bate jurisdiction to the church. He
says the same thing was true of the
Church of England and the sovereign
power of that country, and, admitting
that mistakes had sometimes been
made by the clergy in these matters,
remarks:
''But isolated cases of human frailty
can not constitute reproach, an
dittthCAH cSdAAcG LiAC A-INiCS1notAIcA
ministers of the Church OF England,
as in equality of circumstances it
would mean as much to affirm that
iiuridical error of one or more justices
of nation was motive enough to
judge of the incapacity of the whole
iuridical body of that nation.''
Father Chouza concludes with this
paragraph:
''By the means above exposed, you
will see, Mr.. Whitley, that there is
no reason for inculpating the justice
and honor of the ministers of Church
of England; and you by your character
as judge of a court, can not make
your own commented doctrines that are
openly opposed to truth and justice.
You must go back on your decision.
You have great faculties for study
and if you exercise them in this case,
| am perfectly sure that you will re-
form your appropriations and as just
man will know now to give very salts

Honolulu, Oct. ST. 1907.


IA large amount of the business of
bank consists in cashing paper drawn
on other banks, so that in a city hav-
ing many banks each becomes indebt-
ed in a days transactions to one or
all of the others. AS the number and
aggregate of these operations are
formidable in large city, the clearing
house has been established to handle
the settlement of all such accounts. It
is really a bank of banks, collecting
their accounts against each other and,
at least once a week, issuing statements
of its transactions. From these each
bank knows what it owes to all others
and what is owing to it from them. A
clearing house certificate is evidence
of the balance due to the particular
bank to which it is issued. The clear
ing house viii pay this certificate or
demand. A Honolulu bank draws a
bill of exchange on a San Francisco
bank, against sugar shipments from
in legal tender money or, maybe, wholly
or in part in draft on Honolulu
against merchandise shipped hither. I'm
der an arrangement just made, how
ever, the San Francisco bank may de-
post the exchange, like any other COM
mercial paper, in the clearing house
and return clearing house certificate
for the amount to the Honolulu bank
This arrangement obviates the neces-
sity of sending coin to Honolulu during
its scarcity in San Francisco, but ul-
timately of course the debt will be
paid here either in money or exchange.
A clearing house in Honolulu has been
mentioned as desirable, both for the
convenience of the banks and for the
furnishing of public information on
the volume of local banking business.

service, covering every nook and cor
ner of the nation, is out of commits
sion, all because a few operators in
Los Angeles didn't like the way, the
very shabby way, the Western Union
Telegraph company had been treating
them, and all because the Western
Union officials and the officers of the
telegraphers' union didn't have iudg-
ment enough, or patience enough OF
brains enough to get together.
No strike has worked to inconven-
ience and annoy so many people as
this strike of the telegraph operators.
How long it will continue no one
knows. 1t may be off tonight and il
may last a week. If it does, Wall
street will go out of business and the
business of the whole nation will have
been badly scrambled.
It's Sad, But Very True.
1t Is interesting to step out and
consider for just a little while what
this strike means, and how wide and
far-reaching are its effects. 1t does
not affect one city, nor one district
like street car strike. or coal min
ers' strike. 1t affects all the cities, and
not only their local business but their
business from city to city and state 10

NEWS GATHERING SYSTEM
OF NATION PARALYZED

The whole news gathering system OF
the nation is at a standstill, aside from
the local news service of the newspa-
pers and such sparse news as can be
rushed in over the long distance tele-
phone or by mail.
The big newspapers in New York
tonight are as helpless to get news
from San Francisco or Mobile or Mex
leo City as they were in the days of
the pony express. If this should con-
tlnue for a month we would return ia
the days of the Boston news letter and
the Providence news sheet.
Wouldn't 1t be funny to see Mr.
Hearst's New York American coming
out with four-inch headlines over;
Letter from our Chicago cores
pondent just arrived by last express. -
So, for one day at least, the millions
of newspaper readers in America, the
people whose hunger for news has
made the great newspaper system ol
today, win know how It was In the
days of the Revolution when newspJ-
pers came out irregularly at intervals
of about once month.

walked out.
A few rumors drifted in over the
wires last night, sparse and uncer-
tain ones, but they were to the effect
that President Roosevelt would be
likely TO intervene today and try to
see what could be done to reach a
settlement. In this event something
may be expected to happen during the
day. But last night, and all last night
the tie-up was about as complete and
solid and hard-knOtted as any tie "

afforded of visiting the irrigation sys.

No such chance of seeing things in the
Pacific states Is likely to occur again
for many years. The local end of the
events will be rounded out with con-

The program OF the congress is be-
ginning to assume definite shape. II
promises to be one of unusual strength
and Interest. II includes the names OF
many men of national prominence.
One of the star features OF the pros

MORNING JOURNAL LEASED

The Morning Journal leased wire Ia

we had full possession of 1t, but 1t just
wasn't working. It was about as use
full to this newspaper as fur overcoat

Especial Correspondence Morning Journal.I
Santa Fe, N NJ. Aug. 12.-Judge
Albert B. Fall, of Three Rivers, New
Mexico, one of the best known at
torneys in the southwest, a close per-
sonal friend of Governor Curry, and
pioneer of New Mexico, was today
appointed attorney general of the ter
ritory by Governor Curry. 1t has been
very generally understood almost since
Governor Curry's arrival in the terri
tory that he would offer this position
to Judge Fall, and the announcement
of the appointment today was antici-
pated. II is generally understood that
Judge Fall will accept the appoint
ment. although his formal acceptance
has not yet been announced. Judge
Fall has maintained an office and
residence in Ell Paso. Texas, for some
time past, having been counsel for
the w. c. Greene interests in northern
Mexico. He has, however, retained his
legal residence in New Mexico, count
ing his country home at Three Riv-
ers his residence. He is very widely
known not only In New Mexico. but
throughout the southwest as an able
and successful lawyer.

SOME SERIOUS, SOME MORE

New York might be swallowed up

There Is a very serious side to the
telegraphers' strike, in fact. there are
several serious sides. II might even
be said that all the sides are serious.
Even in Albuquerque the effects of the
strike became apparent yesterday.
Practically all commercial business
was tied up at both the telegraph Of
fees and yesterday evening the opera
tors in the Postal company and the
one remaining operator In the Western
Union walked out and the latter office
was closed, with a sign on the door
that Il was all off for the night.

New York, Aug. 11.-Wlth the sole
exception Of Boston, the telegraphers'
strike Is now complete in every i'm
portant city in the country AT 1880
tonight the operators employed by the
Associated Press leased wire system
presented a demand for increased
wages to General Manager stone. The
increase asked amounts to about ten
or twelve dollars per week over the
present schedule Mr. Stone requested
time for consideration of the demands
presented, at first requesting that the
operators postpone action until the
annual meeting of the association,
scheduled for September 10. This re-
quest was promptly rejected by the
operators. whereupon Mr.. Stone re-
quested twenty-four hours for consid-
Grafton of the matter. This latter
proposition was placed before the AS
ISOLATED Press operators and a vote
taken by telegraph. The result of the
vote was the almost unanimous re-
lection OF the offer and the decision
to walk out Immediately. Similar de-
mands were presented to the manage
ment of the Hearst news service with,
II Is believed, similar results.
During the day reports were re.
