was the eloquent and masterful ad

Law Department of Vanderbilt Uni

with the Invocation by DR.. George
Mack Of Columbic The chapel of the
school was well He'd with friends and
patrons from Columbia and Maury

points in the South Dr. Hall was
introduced by Col. ]. c. Hardy who
paid a splendid tribute to the speaker
as a man, four square and one of the
foremost and most worthy citizens Of
the Volunteer state

remarks to verse under the circum-
stances. No man, he said, can make
what we call "a good citizen" unless
he has some training along legal and

his hand he must have information
along these lines, or else he follows

DR.. COFER MAY
RESUME OFFICE

cording to the present report. it is
now intended to resume the old ar
rangement, Washington authorities
having approved the idea of DR.. Cofer
serving. According to the same re-
ports, the Kalihi receiving station is
to be taken over by the U. S. Marine
Hospital Service, somewhat as DR..
Cofer is to take over the executive
work of the general territorial health
department.
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-07-21

He has been in this Territory for about
two years, coming here from Idaho,
where he occupied a position on the
Superior bench in the state courts.
Samuel F. Chillingworth of this city
is another who would like very much
to get the position. He is wellknown
in this city and for that matter all
over the islands, having held many
positions of Importance. both under
the monarchy and the Territorial gov
eminent.
Judge W. S. Edings is the only can
didate for the position from the De-
mocratic party who has yet been heard
from. He has had the experience on
the bench which would fit him to hold
the position and will have his entire
party behind him in the fight for the
appointment, while the others, all be-
ing Republicans, will split their forces.
When asked for information in re-
gard to the matter this morning Gov
ernor Frear, who will be called on by
the President to recommend some can
didate, did not have much to say. He
did not appear to be absolutely certain
that Judge Hardy could not be pre-
vailed on to take disappointment.
He stated that number of names had
been offered to him for the position,
some by those wishing the place them
selves and others by prominent men
of the city who recommended friends.
He refused to say who the candidates
were at the present time.

WHO Will Be
THE KAUAI JUDGE?
LIVELY CONTEST FOR JUDICIAL POSITION ON GARDEN
ISLAND is IN PRosPECT-JUDGE HARDY TO RETIRE AFTER
SERVICE VARIOUS ATTORNEYS WOULD LIKE TO sue
CEED HIM

A fine fight has been started for the
position of circuit judge on the island
of Kauai. 1t is generally understood
that Judge Hardy, the present incum-
bent, who has been on the bench for
the past thirty years in the Garden
Island, will not be a candidate for ap-
pointment when his present term ex-
pires, on December II of the present
year. His long service on the bench
has been such that, as a rule the people
of Kauai desire to see him reappointed,
regardless of his wish to retire. His
only reason for leaving the position is
his age, for he has passed the four
score years which are more than the
general term allotted to man.
Probably the most prominent can
didate for the position is c. S. Dole,
the district magistrate of Lihue, who
is a nephew of Judge Sanford B. Dole
of the Federal court in this city. 1t is
understood that in taking the position
which he now holds he did so with the
idea of placing himself in a position TO
fill any vacancy which might occur on
the circuit bench. His record has al
ways been a clean one and it is said
that he will receive the almost unani-
nous support of the members of the
Kauai bar.
Judge Selden B. Kingsbury, of this
city, is also a candidate and is said to
be working hard with his friends to
obtain first place in the competition

shore liberty and the ships had given
a payday in advance No wonder
jollity was in the air. So many went
out in the earlier cars from town that
later arrivals went back by hundreds,
ere the first strains of the music had
scarcely sounded to enjoy other attrac-
tions of the evening. An immense
number of townsfolk went to the scene
many to rubber" but many also to
participate in the dance. OF the lat
ter the males were quite properly ruled
off the floor by the committee at an
early stage of the event. Many pro-
minent society ladies graciously took
the arms of the jackies, who in most
cases proved the very best of partners
so far as graceful dancing was con-
cerned.
Viewed from the balcony of the
bathing pavilion the scene during a
dance was one never to be forgotten.
1t was one whirling mass of Uncle
Sans white uniform variegated by
rare dashes of color amidst the pre-
vailing white of the fair sexs dress.
The effect was a fairylike lightness
which gave the Kaleidoscope vision
of color in the lamps and bunting set
upon trees and houses more brilliant
! appearance.
Bands from two of the battleships
in alienation furnished inspiring
music. The festival will be repeated
tonight for the benefit of another re-
lay of liberty men.
