MEHURG CASE TO BE HEARD
By J. B. HOUSTON.

Bessemer, March 10.-(Special)-T board of education awayded the contract for insurance of the new High school building last night to~the firms of Waller Rutledge and T. R. Copeland The amount insured for was $25 ,Oo0, the first firm getting s15,coO and the second siOoO0. There were five bidders, Lee Moody & Co.,, G. H. Stevenson & Co, w, P Col son & Co.,, Waller & Rutledge and T. R. Copeland. In addition to awarding this contract the board arranged for the seat ing of the auditorium which will hardly be done before May l, or shortly before the close of the schools
 The board will be a new body when it meets again, as under the new code the city council will have to elect a full board at the meeting on April G. and as the regular meeting of the board of eduea- tion is the second Tuesday in each month, the new board will take its seat on the 18th of the month.
 Not a little interest is manifested in just who will be on the new board, as the present board of seven succeeded a board of five elected 10 months ago, but by decision of the supreme court, the old board was declared the legal body, and the new one gave up their places. It is known that several of the board are can didates for reelection, as we'll as some who were on the old board of five, but who will be selected is the question yet to be decided.
 Mayor Walter L. Rush. Dr. T. F. Rob- inson, Dr. J. H. Downing, Dr. E. w. Mo Neil, Dr. R. P. McTyeire. l. A. Lewis and c. F. Goodwin constitute the board now.

"Dr. Miles Heart Remedy has cured me of heart disease of over 20 years standing. I was so bad that l could not do my work, and could scarcely draw a full breath without fainting or smothering.

 When the heart action is weak, it fails to pump the blood through the lungs with sufficient rapidity. Then the lungs do not absorb the proper amount of oxygen, although they may be taking in a normal amount of air. The result is shortness of breath, smothering spells, diffi- cult breathing, oppressed feeling in chest. Dr. Miles Heart Rem edy strengthens the heart nerves and muscles, and in this way increases the circulation.

title of one of the most wonderful pieces of stage realism that has ever been ln- vented. It is shown exclusively with Lew Dockstader and his company of minstrel entertainers and keeps every one wandering as to how the effect Is produced. The rushing water, the huge cakes of floating ice, all in motion and the enormous icebergs careening across the stage heighten one of the most won derful scenes ever devised. When Dock stader and his minstrels come to the Jefferson theatre Monday, matinee and night. the usual first part to be seen with the average black face organization devoted to that class of entertainment will be found conspicuous by Its ab- sence.

Pitcher Goes To Dubuque
 "Three l."

Meridian, Miss. March '10.-(Special.) Pitcher Yount who was on the staff of the White Ribboners last season. was yesterday sold by the local asso- citation to Debuque in the Three I league. He was considered by many to be one of the best twirlers in the Cot ton States league, and all his friends are predicting a great future for him during the next few seasons. He Is a youngster with all the points and only needs rounding out. He has all the curves and very deceptive drop and plenty of steam. The only weakness that this elongated twirler has is lack of control at critical stages. This, 1t Is argued, will be overcome with little more age. He is only about 20 years a11

Verdict Rendered.

The eoroner's jury to investigate the killing of J. D. Merrill, after examining a number of witnesses this morning, re- turned a verdict that the deceased came to his death at the hands of parties un- known, and another mystery is added to the rolls of Jefferson countys dead. The body will doubtless be inferred by the city as the relatives have not been heard from.

JUDGE WOODRUFF

dered a cordial welcome to Judge
Woodruff. His arrival was valuable
to the administration Of
justice in this territory. Here many
different races lived together in har-
mony, among whom Judge Woodruff
would undoubtedly find a spirit of
friendliness toward himself.
". A. Kinney liked the Formally
that usually attended functions of that
kind The position to which their
friend had been called was one of
great dignity as we'll as Importance,
and it was therefore fitting that the
occasion should be an impressive one.
The necessity of sustaining the courts
was of growing Importance. They
ought to extend to Judge Woodruff
a hearty welcome. The bar should
support the courts as the bar of Ha-
wall had done for seventy-tive years.
Judge Wodruff's installation was to be
hailed as adding another stone to the
fair structure of Jurisprudence which
had been reared in these islands.
W. R. Castle, with some facetious
remarks about the rarity of his ap-
pearance as a practitioner in the Fed
eral court, said he was more than glad
to welcome Judge Woodruff to Ha-
wall. His reputation had preceded
him. They had known of his fins
qualifications and high character.
Himself and his wife were welcome.
They would held to build up Hawaii
in everything that was good.
Attorney General Hemenway con-
fessed he was a laggard in coming for
ward, having been slow to appreciate
his duty to welcome Judge Woodruff
He would now however, on behalf OF
the Territorial bar extend to him q
cordial welcome.
Commissioner Davis, as an officer Of
that court, desired to say few words
He was sure Judge Woodruff realized
the significance of his oath, in itE
promise to do justice to the poor as
well as the rich. There was a laugh
at this reminder when the speaker
added, there's lots of rich in the Ha
waiian islands," which provoked gen
eral laughter in which the ladies join
ed. That clause of the oath was pu
there for a purpose, he went on, ant
he thought he knew what it was pu
there for. Judge Dole had tried t
carry out the spirit of his oath. l
a judicial officer erred on the side o
mercy his mistakes would be for
gotten. If a judge would read owe
the evidence and study the cases h
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1909-07-29

almost nothing to add to the words of
his official oath. He did not think
he should say much about the work
he intended to do. The first thing
was to find out what there was to do.
He expected and believed he would re-
ceive the support of the bar. Every
thing he had seen and heard since
coming strengthened that belief. He
agreed with Governor Frear that II
judge was also a citizen. While per-
forming the duties of judge it would
be his aim also to fulfill the duties and
enjoy the privileges of a citizen. A
judge could be a friend. He could
also be an enemy of everything that
was bad He hoped to be everything
that a good citizen should be. 1t
would be his endeavor, as far as a
mere man could do, to fulfil his du-
ties as a judge and a citizen.
Judge Dole then ordered the court
adjourned until Monday morning at
10 O'Clock
An informal reception succeeded ad-
journment, when those in attendance
were presented to Judge and Mrs
Woodruff

THE CHANCES FOR

from Maine, New Hampshire, YER
mont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Delaware
and New Jersey were always recorded
against the income tax proposition, or
Iif absent, were paired against it. The
Senators from those states are most
ly machine men; they dominate the
legislatures, and not only dictate the
election of United States Senators, but
have it within their power to sway the
Legislatures at will on measures in
which they hapen to be interested.
Having this control, and being I'M
equiVocally opposed to an income tax,

thee senatorial bosses will be able,

vent favorable action upon the con-
lstitutional amendment which is to be
submitted to the various states for ra-
tification. II may be that in some in
stances legislatures of these states
might be inclined to vote favorably
if given the opportunity, but if there
are such cases, the senator's in ques-
ton will see to it that no vote is
taken. Failure to ratify is all that is
necessary to prevent the adoption OF
the constitutional amendment, and
failure is as effective through inaction
as through an adverse vote.
With these nine states safely lined
up against the income tax amendment,
