years his salary has been seven thousand i've hun

The San Francisco Examiner also
takes an interest in Bakers escapades
and in the course of its article states
that Bakers father supports the charge
made that the man now here is BIZ
gamist This matter is expected to
come to a head within the next twen-
ty-four hours, through Investigations
which are being made by the Federal
officials. The Examiner says In part:
The father of Raymond Baker, who
is in Chicago, is authority for the
statement that his son has a wife in
that city from whom he has never
been divorced.
r. NJ. Baker came to San Francisco
three weeks ago. He represented him
self as an automobile man and sue
ceeded in passing check for $i5 upon
Milton Landis of the Hub Clothing
Company, to whom he had letter or
introduction. The check proved worth
less and when lands sought Baker at
the st. Francis Hotel the man was not
there. The police have been unable
to locate him.
Mr.. and Mrs. Baker are still guests
of the Seaside Hotel in this city.

INTER-ISLAND STEAM NAVIGA-
TION COMPANY WILL PASS OUT
SLICES OF DIVIDEND STOCK.

The stockholders of the Inter-Island
Steam Navigation Company are soon
to be rejoiced by the cutting of large
sized and juicy melon. A notice has
been issued by President Kennedy cali
ing for a stockholders meeting to con-
slider the increase of the capital stock
of the corporation which will take
place on June "a,
1t is reported that the proposed in
crease of capital stock of the concern
will probably be $750,000 and that it
will be distributed as dividend among
the present holders of certificates.
Other rumors set the increase at $780,
600 and at $1,OOO,OOO. The present
capital of the Inter-Island is $1,000, 600
and is worth about $3.50 per share on a
par value of 500.
The Inter-Island has a very large
surplus on hand and the issuance OF
extra capital stock will help to divide
this up between the shareholders of
the concern. When asked for infor-
nation this morning several of the
directors acknowledged the truth Of
the fact that it was planned to issue
extra capital stock but were unable to
give figures, stating that that was a
matter for the stockholders to decide
when the meeting should be held.

JUDGE WOODRUFF'S
QUALIFICATIONS
ARE IN QUESTION

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, d. c., May s.
There will be considerable delay in
acting upon the nomination of George
w. Woodruff as United States Judge
for Hawaii. There is absolutely moth
ing against Mr.. Woodruff's personal
character, but members of the Senate
Committee on the Judiciary are not
entirely satisfied as to his qualifica-
tions to fill the position of judge. Be
fore confirming the nomination the
members of the committee wish to re-
ceive some assurance that Mr.. Wood
ruff has practiced law. 1t is the opin-
ion of the members of the committee
that Mr. Woodruff's legal experience
has been limited to his work as law
clerk in the Forestry Bureau of the
Department of Agriculture and later
as assistant Attorney General for the
Interior Department In the latter
capacity Mr.. Woodruff's legal work
frequently came to the notice of the
members of the Senate Judiciary Com
mittee, and from what they say of 1t
they are not entirely satisfied as to his
qualifications TO fill acceptably the

judgeship in Hawaii While it is
probable that Mr.. Woodruff eventually
will be confirmed, yet, as the matter
stands at present, it is quite certain
that the Judiciary Committee is not
satisfied with the nomination, and, as
stated, will have to be given some tan
gble proof of Mr.. Woodruffs ability
to acceptably fill the position.
Senator Clark, chairman of the
committee, while not expressing any
opinion concerning Mr.. Woodruff, says
tnat the Hawaiian judgeship is one of
the most important places in the Fed
eral courts. A great diversity of cases
come before the federal court for Ha-
wall and it is necessary and essential
that the place be filled by LAWYER Of

There will be no resistance, nor
will there be any trouble of any kind
when the Japanese strikers of Aiea
and Waipahu are ordered out of the
plantation quarters at noon tomor-
row. said Fred Maxine, leader of the
strikers, this morning.
Promptly at noon the three thou
sand men of Aiea and Waipahu Will
vacate their quarters and the Aiea
leading to Honolulu, where they will
await the arrival of their fellow strik-
ers from Waipahu plantation.
"The Waipahu strikers have brass
band of their own and when they join
the Aiea men, they will lead the pro
cession and it will be a great sight
to see three thousand marching to this
city. They will play American and
Japanese tunes on the march, stop
ping between Pearl City and town for
refreshments which will be supplied
them by Honolulu Japanese.
WELCOME TO THE CITY.
Hundreds of Honolulu Japanese
will turn out to meet the strikers and
escort them to Honolulu. Upon arri-

More pilil1ia for Roy Nj. Baker, or
Raymond NJ. Baker, as he sometimes
styles it. The Alameda arriving To-
day brought newspapers from San
Francisco which show that, far from
being the innocent and mistreated be-
ing which he claims, he is a habitual
passer of worthless checks and that his
dishonest dealings have reached such
a limit that he has been PRACTICAL dis
owned by his father, who is, as Baker
has stated, c. W. Baker, the secretary
of the Union Stock Yards in Chicago.
Baker has by no means confined his
passing of bad checks to Hawaii, but
several San Francisco men are pocket
ing losses as the result of too intimate
acquaintance between their signature
and his. Milton Lands, well-known
San Francisco merchant and connected
with the Hub Clothing Company, was
