The session of the court was closed
by the following address by Chief JUS
tice Frear OF the Supreme Court:
1T is customary on occasions of this
kind to speak only praise of man
and yet 1t would be useless to attempt
to ignore the fact, and under the cir
cumstances my words might seem lack
ing in sincerity IL l should fa.l to al
lude to it, that certain features of
Judge Gears career, particularly dur
ing the earlier portion of his term on
the bench, have been subjects of much
criticism and in my opinion just cr.ti-
cism, but / would not say this il it did
not afford me the opportunity to say
also what 1 can say as coming from
his own lips to me personally and which
1 think ought to say in justice to his
memory, that he himself recognized
that he had acted unwisely on occa-
sions and regretted it. That is to his
honor
Turning to the brighter side, think
all will agree that Judge Gear had in
his makeup many most excellent traits
and in an unusual degree. He had
good knowledge of law and much nat
ural ability. AS lawyer he was
faithful and enthusiastic in the inter-
ests of his clients; on the bench he
displayed many of the qualities that
are essential to the greatest success of
a trial judge-readiness of mind, firm
ness of character, definiteness of views,
knowledge of human nature and the
ways Of the world. all Of which think
were recognized and appreciated by
members of the bar. Personally he
was Of a genial disposition, good ma
tured. large-hearted, generous and
open minded, so much so that 1t was
practically impossible for any to en-
tertain harsh feelings towards him.

Chief Engineer MCGOWAN has been

that the Manning steamed when she
was outside OF the channel was enough
to satisfy anyone that she Is in the
best OF shape.
The Manning is probably the fastest
boat which comes to Honolulu as her
engines are unusually powerful and
can develop a speed OF 1s knots when It

speed up and IN her two hours run

According to the law, the president
of the board acts as its executive off,
Ger and as such must sign all checks

ary for the secretary.
