TWO ARE AFTER
WOODRUFF job
A. G. M. Robertson and Henry {.
Cooper Most Prominent
Candidates.

The question now agitating the minds
of the members of the legal profession
and the minds of some other persons,
tools, '|who is to succeed Judge
Woodruff, who last Tuesday cabled to
Washington his resignation of the Sec
ond federal judgeship?' Some are
merely guessing and some have hopes.
The names most prominently men
toned are those of A. G. NJ Robertson
and Judge Henry E. Cooper. A meet
ing of the bar association has been call
ed for four O'Clock this afternoon for
the purpose of endorsing some one for
the position, and it is known that
determined effort viii be made to have
the association recommend Robertson
again. The official notice of the meet
ing does not mention the name of any
possible candidate, but before the meet
ing was called, letter was being cir
culated among the lawyers for sigma
ture, asking the president of the bar
association to call meeting for the
purpose of endorsing the candidacy of
A. G. NJ. Robertson.
Although announcement of Judge
Woodruff s resignation was not made
until yesterday in The Advertiser, Mr..
Robertson received advance informa-
ton concerning it, and it is said, took
immediate steps to be the first man on
the ground. He put up lightning rod
or two before midnight, the cable wires
being kept hot with messages to Wash
ington.
Yesterday Judge Cooper sprang into
the arena as an active candidate. and
his friends are doing all they can to
get the appointment for him. There
are probably others who would not
shake their heads if the place were

JOHN DETOR FORCED TO

John Detor went about two months ago
for a vacation and visit to his old
home. John is now carrying on his
shoulder big, heavy musket, while
about his knees flap the skirts that
form part of the uniform of the
Grecian army.
John IS a soldier not from choice but
from stern necessity and the force of
circumstances over which he has no
control. He doesn t want to be sol

the Union Grill. But he can't help

As matter of fact. John Detor IS
soldier because the officials of the
government of King George laughed
defiance at the United States and
snapped their fingers in the face of
Uncle Sam. They made John a soldier
IN spite of international laws and Gus

Portland Papers Roast.

Faced with the Juror that it had
raised in Hawaii by printing an al
legged interview with DR.. J. Chris
O'Day of Honolulu, the Portland Tele-
gram has printed an explanation of
the details Of the interview that was
held in the office of that paper and
which led to the printing of the gross
misstatements concerning leprosy in
the Territory. The explanation is as
follows:
ga well-dressed man representing
himself to be Dr. John c. O'Day, TAX
1ng a postgraduate course in the Office
of leading local physician of Port
land, appeared some time ago in The
Telegram office and desired to be in
terviewed on the subject of Hawaiian
1epers. His local connections were
given, and owing to his eagerness to
appear in print on the subject, 1t was
deemed necessary to determine If he
came well recommended. These facts
being learned to the eager doctors ad-
vantage, he was given the benefit OF
doubts caused by his eagerness in
wanting such an article printed.
''In the interview, all of which was
taken down carefully in shorthand
notes, the sharptongued doctor I'M
folded a startling state of alleged
facts. His statements were not borne
out by the general impression of the
world as to conditions in Hawaii,
which, of course, suggested that he
was in error. But he was so eager,
came so well recommended and placed
himself so emphatically in the role OF
n knight errant championing the cause
of the deposed and accusing Queen or
the former Hawaiian government, that
Doctor O'Dav was deemed worthy OF A
pubGc hearing. This The Telegram
gave him. as it is in duty bound to 40
for anv complainant who makes out an
intelligent ease and gives reasonable
evidence of honest relationships.
"Doctor O'Dav's statement were not
put in the paper in every instance as
strong and radical as he made them.
However. the burden of the charges he
made. and the full measure of credit
ne took uato himself for relieving
Molokai prisoners who might not be
Ieners. were Sc. forth accurately and
carefully, and with the most faithful
regard for the thought expressed.
EsLater Doctor O'Day secured copies
of the issue in which the interview APP
reared. and seemed well-pleased with
the report. He had stated that ne IN
tended to become resident of Port

land, which he had not seen for four
teen years. Though a native of Greece,
he has been naturalized and is now a
fuilhedged citizen of the United
States. In fact, he was naturaliZed
only short time before he went away.
And he went away feeling that he had
all the power of the United States gov
eminent behind him and could conduct
himself accordingly.
A few days after he arrived at Spar
ia, John was surprised to receive a
notice, bearing the big, red seal of
the government of Greece, command
ing him to appear before one of the
Greeian officials. John had a hunch
that perhaps he was to be commission,
ed consul to Hawaii or offered port
folio in the government of Greece.
But he was destined to receive a
severe bump. The government official
who had summoned him took about one
minute to tell him that he owed his
fatherland fourteen months army ser
vice and he must pay up at once.
John protested. claimed that he was
a citizen Of the United States and as
sueh owed nobody any military ser,

the courts several times and answered
in the negative. But in the mean time,
John is in the Grecian army.

SEATTLE MAY BE

Canadian Liners Would Bring

ANOTHER GOOD ARGUMENT
Southern Pacific Diverting All
Possible Tourist Traffic
E Away From Hawaii.

From reported conversation on
board the Canadian Australian liner
Mariana, held on its last trip down here
from the Coast, it seems likely that
should the coastwise laws be suspended
in regard to passengers the Canadian
Australian boats will make Seattle a
port of call.

Grocery Company of Seattle, who has
been guest at the Young Hotel for
some time and who left on the Aorangi
early this morning, made this state

hand or they do not. If there are in
dications that the insurgents are
sweeping the country, Salvador, Guate-
maIa and other Of President ZeIaya s
enemies. including the United States,
will sit quietly by and look on. If
President Zelaya gets the upper hand
against the insurgents, Salvador and
Guatemala may enter the arena with
the full support of Mexico and the
United States. If this pressure should
not subdue President Zelaya, further
action will be taken.
According to information from the
state department it is with difficulty
that Guatemala and Salvador are be
ing held back. and if the success of
President Zelaya seems indicated, this
strain will become so great that the
United States Will make no effort to
hold them back.

Doctor O'Day says that he does not
like the other doctors of Honolulu be-
cause they are "a gang organized to
down him and because they keep him
out of the Queens Hospital.
Doctor Collins, president of the Ha-
waiian Medical Association, says that
the doctors of Honolulu are not band
ed against o'Day, but object to his
wholesale charges. Personally, they
have nothing against him.
Secretary w. o. Smith Of the Queen s
Hospital board says that O'Day never
asked to be admitted to the hospital.

is liar.

At twenty minutes past twelve
O'Clock this morning the Brit

cruiser Arcona to the anchor

The vessel, after sliding off the
