"A'iAl-NN ION, -. -, May 2E-FOr
the past week rumors have been cur
rent that President Taft would with
draw the nomination of George w.
Woodglff as United States District
Judge. for Hawaii. On Monday last this
rumor was apparently so well authen-
tcated that number of newspapers
printed the statement that the nomina-
ton had been withdrawn. Inquiry at
the White House and of the Senate
Committee on the Judiciary disclosed
the fact that the newspaper publica-
tons in the matter were incorrect. The
situation apparently is this. The chair
man and number of the members of
the Senate committee on the Judiciary
are of the opinion that Mr.. Woodruff
does not possess the necessary legal
qualifications to acceptably fill the DO
sitlon of United States judge for Ha-
wall where many intricate questions of
international, maritime and CONNER
clal law are brought before the federal
courts for settlement. The Judiciary
committee has been making diligent
inquiry into Mr.. Woodruff's profession
al record, and find that he had had
very little practical experience as an
actual practitioner or pleader in the
courts. In addition to this, the mem
bers of the Judiciary Committee dc
not look upon Mr. Woodruff's legal re-
cord while he was serving as Assistant
Attorney General for the Department
OF the Interior with much favor. MANY
OF his opinions are regarded by then
as being lacking of legal exactness

atty as a man. He is an affable gen
tleman, well liked by those associated
with him, and if his legal experience
and ability came up to the require
ment of what the committee deems a
United States judge should possess, he
would be favorably recommended for
confirmation. The views of the com
mittee have been called to the atten-
ton of resident Taft, and it is known
that withdrawal of the nomination is
being seriously considered
Within the past two weeks telegra-
phic recommendation have been re-
ceived from Honolulu favoring the an
pointment of local attorney and, in
addition, protests have come to the
judiciary committee against the ap-
potntment of an outside \candidate.
These communications undoubtedly
will have weight with the President
and with the committee in determining
the matter and possibly befre this let

have been made.

further enlightenment of his colleagues, Senator Clay said:
The sugar reneries OF the Unite dStates recognized that
sugar could be produced those islands cheaper than any
where else in the world and that had tariff duty
pay coming from Hawaii and reduced duty pay coming
from Cuba The sugar trust has taken advantage of these
conditions and has bought of the lands i'll Hawaii

tariff bill simply allowed of pass Smoot however
who is the buffer for the finance committee which reported the tariff
bill, responsible the following bit of dialogue:
