ANDREW To
WASHINGTON
Former Attorney-Gen-
eraI en- Route by
the Siberia.

The many friends of Lorrin Andrews,
one time Attorney General of the Ter
ritory, were surprised yesterday to
have him come from the S. S. Siberia.
Mr.. Andrews looked well and said he
was glad to be among his friends even
though it was for short time.
Relative to the rumors of his dis
missal from the bar in Shanghai, he
said that was very grave mistake
for the types to make. He had failed
sary by ruling of Judge Wiley who
had been sent there from the Philip
pines. All of the Americans were af-
fected by the examination so there
was no favoritism on the part Of the
judge.
1.-THE court in which the Americans
will not be allowed to practise is on
line with Judge Dole's court here;
all of the other courts there are open
to US. I do not believe many cases
will be tried in that particular court
ed and he happened to come to Shang-
hal with this judge, who is friend or
Secretary Taft. I may take the exam
ination when I return to China and I
may not; it really makes little differ
ence. Mr. Brooks and have our.
hands full in the other courts.
II am going to San Francisco on
business and will go to New York. I
have no idea of entering any COM
plant against Judge Whitley relative
to his actions with the American men,
bers of the bar there nor do I intend
to make any protest whatever. He has
an idea there is money to be made and
he brought over this young man from
the Philippines to make it. And there
is where the other Americans make a
noise like a lightning rod. The who
affair is treated much as a joke by
the Americans and the British de-
nounce the action of the judge.
'I am going to Washington when 7
finish the business 1 have to do in New
York, for the purpose of presenting to
the Supreme Court briefs in the fol-
lowing cases:
Emma Kaipu, in behalf of Mikala
Kaipu, appellant, V. L. E. Pinkham,
President of the Board of Health.
F. j. Lowrey, w. Q. Smith ct al.
Trustees. plaintiffs in error v. Terri
tory.
J. L. Holt, Assessor First Taxation
District, plaintiff in error v. Tullett and
Inter-IslanG S. N. Co.
Morita Kaizo, plaintiff in error "
William Henry, High Sheriff.
None of the members of the Attor-
ney Generals department are avail
able for practise in the United States
Supreme Court and for that reason I
have been asked by Attorney General
Peters to attend to these matters for
him. l expect to finish my business
and pass through Honolulu on my re-
turn to Shanghai in about one month
or five weeks. I like Shanghai but
find it anti-American to an extreme
degree.
All of the American attorneys who
went out from Honolulu are doing
Well there and have no desire to re-
turn, SO far as I have ever heard.
know nothing of the intentions Of
Judge Whitley, He may conclude to
prepare new examination papers and
give us another show. I believe he
was surprised that even the English
papers should denounce his action and
it was rumored there that it was pcs
sible he would do the thing over and
prepare a more modern examination
for US.
With w. Porter Boyd, Mr. Andrews
continued his journey on the Siberia.
