There weTs sincere words of common
dation for the judicial services Of AS
sociate Justice Walter J. Ballou at the
opening of the May term of the Ter
ritorial Supreme Court yesterday morn
ing. Chief Justice Hartwell, Attorney
General Hemenway and Attorney Geo,
Davis gave voice to sentiments that
must have been pleasing to the Asso-
ciate Justice, who will leave the SUI
preme Bench as soon as Antonio Perry
has qualified as his successor.
After the remarks of the Attorney
General and Attorney Davis, the Chief
Justice said:
g wish to say something about our
friend Ballou. You all know that for
many years / have had intimate reia-
tions with most of the members of the
bench of this court, sitting as one OF
its members from September, 1868, until
| left in 1874, and again since June IA,
1904
The Chief Justice said in substance
that it was seldom that the work of a
judge could be appreciated at its real
value; lawyers who lost cases upon
which they had worked faithfully and
earnestly were apt to feel that they
ought not to have lost them. and those
who won naturally felt that they had

ARMSTRONG 5
NAME FOR
FORT
Grand Army Veterans
Send Petition to-the
President.

At the meeting Of the local veterans
of the Grand Army of the Republic
last evening, the draft of letter pre-
pared by comrade C. H. Dickey, who
was General Grant S bugler in the Civil
War, was read, addressed to President
Taft and Secretary of War Dickinson,
asking that in the naming of important
forts and posts in and around Homo
lulu they use the name of General S. C.
Armstrong, who was the most promi-
nent officer in the Union armies to come
from Hawaii.
General Armstrong is known all over
the United States, particularly for his
educational work among the negroes of
the South and as the founder of the
Hampton Institute for negroes. Booker
T. Washington S institution at Tuske
gee is an offshoot of Hampton. Arm
strong was a brigadier- general at the
close of the war, having risen rapidly
through the various ranks to brigade
command. He was a student at Viii
liams College when the war broke out
and promptly offered his services tt
the government. He was member OF
the Armstrong family of Honolulu the
first Armstrong being one of the early
missionaries. w. N. Armstrong, at on'
time an editor of this paper, who ac
companied King Kalakaua on his tou
of the world, was a brother of Genera
Armstrong.

COAST OPERATORS HEAR
STRAY WIRELESS CALLS

OCEAN PARK, April 16.-Messrs.
Swift and Zimmeria, local electrical in
ventors and wireless telegraph experts,
believe they are about to perfect sys-
tenn whereby it will be impossible for
any derelict or wandering message to
break in'' on conversation that is
in progress between two stations.
They have erected experimental masts
near the beach at Hill street, and will
spend Sunday in placing tower and
the most delicate of instruments at the
{ highest point along the Malibu coast.
When this new station shall have been
completed and ready for operation they
expect to snatch vague messages and
reduce the coherency.
These experimenters have heard the
call " XLA'' for several weeks at their
beach station. 1t came with regularity,
was clear and distinct; but the call was
all they were able to catch. 1t devel-
oped that the letters refer to an Eng
lish battleship, and that the message
must have been started from the Sa-
moan Islands, for the ship was at Apia
at the time the call was agitating the
atmosphere here. Now, each night at
twenty-seven minutes after the hour
the unregistered call of go. To- agi-
tates the receiving instruments at the
local station. Whence it comes the sea-
side electricians are unable to deter
mine, although they are of opinion that
it is from a distance. 1t comes to them
with distinctness and great strength,
as if all the energies of powerful send
ing station had been exerted in hurting
the vibrations on long journey.

Unless the subsidy at present al
lowed by the Australian Government
to the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES steamships
is continued-and there is every indi-
cation that it will not be-this line
will be absolutely discontinued within
the next three months, the steamers
only continuing in order that return

ready made may be fulfilled. On the
other hand, if the subsidy is granted,
the company is ready and willing to
put on a splendid big liner of the
Mariana and Manuka type in place of
the old Aorangi.
This is the information which was
brought down here from Vancouver
officially on the Aorangi, which pass
e@&through here yesterday. and which
has been general talk among the Ca
nadian-Australian people for the past
month.
Sir James Mills, head of the Union
Steamship Company, one Of the
largest concerns of it's kind in Austria
liza, and also heavily interested in the
Cauadian-A Australian line, has given
definite orders to the effect that the
head office of this company shall cable
instructions to all branch offices tc
accept no bookings for the vessels
after July unless the subsidy be grant
ed. The Labor element is in the sad
die in Australia at the present time
and the way the country is being gov
erned, it is said, is such as will put
the opposition in power before very
long. In the meantime, however, the
Labor people are apparently worklns

be to cut off all subsidies. Withou

the right on their side and got no more
than they deserved, while the com
munity at large was unable to under
stand the intrinsic merits of judicial
decisions; but that if good judicial
work was appreciated anywhere it was
between the members of an appellate
court; there, if anywhere, it is evident
whether a judge is actuated solely by
a desire to do right, to ascertain all the
essential facts in the record and to APP
ply the law correctly and impartially.
Any Interior motive, any inattention
to any aspect of case, any failure to
grasp it's points was seen in the con-
sultation room as nowhere else.
Now, what I wish to say said the
Chief Justice, Eis that of all the judges
whom / have come in contact with on
this bench there is not one whose logi-
cal and analytical powers and faithful
ness to judicial duty, whose absolutely
impersonal consideration of every case,
have been more clearly shown than by
Justice Ballou. 1t was with great re
greet that Justice Wilder and myself
learned that circumstances required him
TO leave this bench, and we regretted
that the Territory was not to have the
benefit of his judicial qualities upon
the Federal Bench. upon which he was
willing to sit if the place had been
available for him. -
