questionable character have been in
circulation relative to the Circuit
Court of the second Circuit.
One of these mmors was that
Judge A. N. Kepoikai had turned
down the petition of Secretary of
the Territory E. A. Mott-Smith who
was and is the attorney in fact of
the duly appointed officer to look
after the persons and property of the
children of I. Mori and refused to
appoint County Attorney ID. H.
Case who offered to act without COM
pensation.
The money was kept here and
Judge Kepoikai borrowed one-thous-
and dollars of the estate funds after
the filing of the final accounts and
the payment of the funds into court
and the same had been paid over to
e. Kruger the guardian of the chill
dren
Judge Kepoikai was urged by
Attorney Mott Smith to hurry the
settlement of the estate as the child
ren were practically distitute His
authority as the attorney in fact for
the children was never questioned.
The Pacific Commercial Adver-
tiser has the following account of
the matter
After hearing the statement of a
committee from Maui, Governor
Frear has ordered an investigation
of charges against Circuit Judge
Kepoikai and sent Deputy Attorney
General Larnach to Maui to make
it.
The charges are that Judge Ke-
poikai, in a matter involving about
50, 700 due the minor heirs of one
L. Mori, denied a petition making
responsible man guardian of the
heirs and administrator of the estate,
appointing in his stead an illiterate
laborer named Kruger; and that
by various transfers of the money
it came under the direct control of
Judge Kepoikai' court, whereupon,
in September, 1905, the Judge per-
sonally borrowed sl000of the S2700,
giving his note and paying, up to
the present time but $50 on account; ;
and that, meanwhile, the minor
heirs of the late T. Mori, to whom
the money belongs, have been and
are living upon the charity of re-
latives, These facts are set forth as
sufficient ground for Kcpoikai's i'm
parchment.
Governor Frear did not wish to
go into particulars yesterday when
, a reporter called upon him, saying
that he should await the report OF
Mr.. Larnach, who left on the steam
: er last night for Maui and would
, not return until next week.

He Is a Candidate.

Whether w. B. Ham succeeds Con-
gresham Reeder or not, the Republican
newspaper men in the Sixth district
are thankful to him. He has placed
his official announcement in every Re-
publican paper, seventy-two of them,
and each letter was accompanied with
a five dollar check good as gold. If
the other two candidates would do the
same it would be appreciated.
+ 1t worked to a charm, that adver-
tisement of the Pennsylvania store in
Lincoln, where the announcement was
made that the proprietor would stick
in the windows the name of every
deadbeat they had on their books if
their accounts were not made good.

cision of controversy of great public
concern which shall set forth the naked
truth respecting the law as applied to
the facts, irrespective of its usefulness
to them. The result is that sometimes
what is called public sentiment, which
is frequently only the sentiment of a
faction-and a mere temporary ebull-
ton at that's brought to the attention
of the court by coarse or by delicate
means, pending the hearing Of causes
of the character described. Judge
Greene sincerely desired the esteem of
the people of his state and the public
approval of his official conduct. But
such attempts at pressure for popu-
lar decision wounded him most deeply.
He was SO sensitive that he could not
look upon them as other than assaults
upon his honor as impiouS as bride.
He heartily desired that every right
eous wish of the people might be graft
fed but in the decision of causes he
felt that the continuation of organized
society depends upon the courts keep
ing within the constitution and the
. laws, and that if the time should ever
come when court decisions can be con-
trolled by outside influences constitu-
tional government will speedily come to
an end.
AS citizen Judge Greene was active
in the promotion of every interest of
his community, educational moral and
material. He was genial companion,
a true friend and a fair opponent. His
sallies of humor and his good natured
rallying and kindly banter of his as
sociates are among the pleasantest Of
their recollectiOns.
He loved the great out of doors; the
sunshine and the wind and the soil.
He gathered strength from the hills,
expanded in wide spaces and felt ele-
walton of soul in looking up at the
stars.
He loved children and he held family
heart-deSire.
His life was gentle; and the elements
So mix'd in him, that Nature might
stand up,
And say to all the world, This was a
man."

MAIN HOTEL BURNS.
Ten Dead and Thirteen Badly Injured
in Fire at Fort Wayne.

Fort Wayne, Ind, May +Ten known
dead, many missing and 13 seriously
injured, is the result of fire that de-
stroyed the New Avelina hotel, Fort
Wayne's principal hostelry at an early
hour Sunday. Chief of Police Anck-
enbruck said that he believed 20 bodies
were still in the ruins.
The entire interior of the building
is smoldering heap of ruins and how
many dead are concealed by the debris
can only be conjectured. The hotel
register was consumed by the fire and
there are no accurate means of de-
termining who are missing

in the elevator shaft by Night Clerk

per floors, alarming the guests, until
the flames, which had spread with ap-
palling rapidity, drove him back. His
efforts, however, saved many lives.
The hotel was erected half century
ago, and the woodwork was dry as
finder. 1t burned like matchwood and
within few minutes from the time fire
was discovered the whole interior OF
the hotel was a mass of flames that
filled the corridors and rooms with suf-
locating clouds of smoke and laid fiery
barriers across all means of escape
save by the windows.
The fire department rescued many
persons by means of ladders, but some,
frenzied by the onward rush of the
flames, leaped from high windows to
the paved street. r. S. Johnson OF
Pana, Ill, jumped from the fifth story.

1t doesn't pay to sass the Judge
John Welch found out this to his
sorrow this morning in the Munich
pal Court over which Judge ]. B.
Palmer presides.
John Welch is the ''irrigator" az
the Depot Saloon, and was arrested
on the charge of selling liquors to
an adjudged habitual drunkard. He
was found guilty on the charge and
the court set tle fine at $10O, as
the punishment for the transgressor
of the law.
One hundred dollars fine didn't
sound good to WEIGH and he didn't
mince matters in telling the Court
how he felt. In fact. he made COM
parisons that didn't set we'll with the
court. His remarks came back like
boomerang in the shape of a $50
additional fine for contempt of court.
He was taken to jail to serve out his
fine
