with his means, and has not in any

sheriff of the county of Oahu. He fail
ed TO get the Democratic nomination
for supervisor and then ran on the

Lahainaluna Case.
The Lahainaluna case, of consider.
able celebrity, again appears on the
findings of fact that have been sub
mitted by the Supreme Court of the
Territory, to be forwarded to the Uni
ted States Supreme Court on the ap.
peal of the plaintiffs, F. J. Lowrey,
George p. Castle and William o. Smith,
trustees of the American Board of Mis-,
sions. The case has already been be.
fore the United States Supreme Conrt,
the Territory having lost on a tech.
nicality The case was then remanded
to the Territorial Supreme Court and
the second hearing resulted in a verdict
for the Territory, which held against
the claim of $4,000 compensation for
the property of the Lahainaluna Semi
nary.
Place for Marcallino.
1t is generally understood that John
Marcallno. who rendered efficient ser
vice as clerk in Judge Lindsay s court,
will remain at his post when Judge
hn harah Mawaal
limo has made something of a record
for himself in the solving of some
rather intricate problems in connec.
tions with estates of which he was APP
pointed master. Judge Whitney has
recognized the value of Marcallino's
services and it is believed that he will
be retained.
The news from Washington that op-
position has developed to the coTifir-
nation of Woodruff as second Federal
Judge is not exactly welcome to these
who have cases to argue before the
Supreme Court. 1t is feared that the
Woodruff affair will delay action ION
the confirmation of the new associate
justice, Antonio Perry. The retiring
justice, Sidney NJ. Ballou, Is now EN-
route to the Coast, and the Supreme
Court business is practically halted
pending the confirmation of his sue
eessor.
Notification of the confirmation fof
Judge Whitney is also anxiously
awaited. The Circuit Court calendar
needs three court judges working to
prevent the cases from accommodating,
and the police department would like
to have Judge Whitneys judicial in
depreciation of several provisions OF
the juvenile delinquency act. which
they are inclined to regard as being
trne obscure.
Attorney General Hemenway has
not yet announced who his new dep
uty will be when Whitney goes on
the bench. There is salary of $3.50
per month attached to the place-the
same as circuit judge-and there are
several local attorneys who would no:
object to joining forces with the At
torney General.
