JUDGE De BOLT
IS ENDORSED
Bar Association, by Unanimous
Vote, Favors Him for the
Supreme Bench.

of Honolulu.
MATTHEWMAN A CANDIDATE

Circuit Judge John Thomas De Bolt
yesterday afternoon received the unani-
nous endorsement of the bar associa-
ton for the place on the supreme bench
which will have to be filled next Febru-
airy, when Justice Wilder will resign.
Only two names were considered by
the association, those of Judge Mat
thewman of Kailua, and Judge De Bolt
of the first circuit. Other names were
presented by the executive committee
as available, but all but De Bolt and
Matthewman were eliminated.
At the meeting held a week previous,
the executive committee was instruct
ed by vote, to receive names of any
that might be presented as available
and report back to the association the
names of such persons.
The committee reported to the asso-
citation four men whose names had been
presented as available. These were
Judge De Bolt, Judge Matthewman,
Judge Cooper and Robbins B. Anderson.
The last named is said to be the can
didate of Governor Frear and it was
known that few others were in favor
of his endorsement. However, those
back of him had evidently given up
losing fight, and he was not nominal
ed, the only names placed before the
association to be voted on being De
Bolt and Matthewman.
A. G. M. Robertson nominated Judge
De Bolt, and in a speech urging the
candidacy of the circuit Judge, he
spoke of the long and valuable services
of De Bolt. 1t was simply, he said,
question of a square deal for De
Bolt; he deserved the position and no
one would deny that he ought to have
it; he ought to receive the unanimous
endorsement of the bar association.
County Attorney Cathcart followed
Robertson. Judge De Bolt, he said,
was a man who had served long and
faithfully at small salary and he
ought to be rewarded. 1t should be
recognized as principle of the bar
association that a man who has served
faithfully in such a position should
be in line for promotion. He heartily
endorsed the candidacy of Judge De
Bolt.
George A. Davis took the same
ground as Cathcart; the bar associa-
tion should recognize as one Of its prin-
ciples that service should be rewarded
with promotion.
De Bolt s nomination was seconded
by Frank Thompson. He objected vigor-
ously to the proposition of endorsing
more than one man. If the associa-
ton were to pick out three or four
men, it would be merely damning them
with faint praise and accomplishing
nothing.
Judge Ballou objected to the motion
to ballot on the names and endorse
the name receiving the most votes, as
he thought this looked too much like
politics-though he was willing to ad-
NIT that bar association politics is
cleaner than ordinary politics. Ballou
left the chair to speak on the subject,
but failed to convince the other mem

CAMPBELL DENIES
SENSATIONAL STORY

Superintendent Marston Campbell
denies in toto the sensational story
published yesterday afternoon in the
Bulletin to the effect that he, on behalf
Of the Territory, has laid claim to pri-
waite wharves.
81 have made no such claim says
Mr.. Campbell, 'and there is nothing
TO warrant the story The only possible
foundation for it IS the fact that there
are two or three landings and wharves
in the Territory supposedly belonging
to private interests which are on land
owned by the Territory. There is one
on Maui and there are two on Hawaii.
The Territory does not claim the prl-
waite wharves throughout the Territory
and there was never any such a ques-
ton raised. except in these three spe-
cial eases where the landings are on
land owned by the government. Where
landings and wharves are on land own
ed in fee By private interests the Ter
ritory makes no claim of ownership.

ST. PAUL. Minnesota, December ?.
1t is estimated here that twelve
thousand men are idle in this city as
result Of the railroad tie-up from the
switchmen' s strike, and that ten thou
sand men employed in the iron mines
of Minnesota are idle owing to train
freight service being blocked and the
impossibiiity of moving the output of

MAY SUE THE
TERRITORY
Man Who Received a "Dun !"
Postal May Bring Action
for Damages.

The right of the Territory to issue
postal cards addressed to taxpayers
calling their attention to amounts
claimed to be due the government and
on which suit will be brought if I'M
paid, may be the basis of suit for
damages.
An attorney, acting for client who
received a postal card of this kind,
has the matter under consideration.
The cards, of course, are sent through
the open mail, and it appears to be a
direct violation of the postal laws, in
that it exposes the addressee to en-
barrassment, and gives information to
the public generally that he owes
money.
The laws on this subject are strict,
and whether a dun card issues from
private corporation. or an individual,
or the government, it amounts to the
same thing.

Emil Berndt Booked Sixty-TWo
Days Ahead on Steamer
Alameda.
AND THEN HE PAID $40 EXTRA
He Lost His Money-HaWaii Lost
a Tombstone Example
From Many.

Booked sixty-two days before the
boat sailed, Emil Berndt, prominent
business man, secretary of the mer-
chants association and treasurer of
the Hawaiian Star Newspaper Associa-
ton, was forced to pay twenty dollars
extra for his berth in returning from
the mainland. AS he was booked, and
travelled. on the Alameda the opponents
of the suspension of eoastwise laws
who state that there ''are other Amer
lean boats beside the Pacific Mail y
will be satisfied that there might be
but that they are full up also.
Berndt arrived on the last Alameda
and notwithstanding the long time
ahead that he had entered his name
in the company's books, he was forced
to buy out another man who had Sc
cured berth, paying him twenty dol
lars extra. incidentally, the ''other
man. was again the only one to re-
alize anything out of the transaction
as he made tidy profit. Hawaii lost
another tourist and Berndt lost the
extra money.
1t was stated around town yesterday
that the civic federation intended 10
call mass meeting to consider the sus-
pension of the coastwise shipping laws
and again send its resolution to con-
gress. w. R. Castle, the president, is
in favor of the move.
Ed. Towse, secretary of the fedora
ton, stated last night that he as yet
has not been notified of such PROPOSE
ton. One of the reasons that mlgnt
have caused Mr.. Castles reported reso-
luton to call another mass meeting is
that a private cable that reached town
yesterday from Washington confirmed
the news that the subsidy measure s
chances of getting through congress
this session were hopeless.

Honolulu people who go out to the

SHIFTS
Up To MANOA
Flames in the Grass ana Voices
in the Air Are the Only
Manifestations.

A mysterious phosphorescent fire, ap-
parently emerging from the bowels of
the earth and then spreading over a
wide area of ground, has caused Ha-
waiians and japanese in the upper end
of Manoa valley to wonder whether the
Waikiki ghost had changed its habitat
for the time being and taken on new
form in which to manifest its uncanny
self Whatever it is or was, it has had
an uncanny effect upon the people of
that far district, and many are dis
tinctly scared.
A japanese yardboy who was in the
upper part of the valley on Tuesday
night told his employer yesterday of
the strange occurrence, and was asked
if he would not pilot the head of the
family to the place last night. His
eyes grew big with terror and he de-
clined with positiveness that set aside
any opportunity of getting in touch
with this new ghost. The japanese
yardboy of a neighbor got the full par
tieulars from the witness, but when he
was asked to make visit he declared
he was not brave when it came to mix
ing with what he believed to be beings
from an unknown world.
The japanese boy said chat about
half-past ten O'Clock a particular sec
ton of the upper part OF the valley
was suddenly lighted up. 1t was not
strong light, but, being the only fire
thereabouts, the glare attracted atten-

them in their fleeing of the suckers
in the game, and with having agreed
TO warn them of any police activity
in their direction.
The evidence will also intimate that
Leal offered to go into the business
of protecting vice.
Leal was notified by the sheriff yes
terdav afternoon that he need consider
himself no longer connected with the
police department. He was instructed
to turn in all police property he might
ahsve by this morning. Leal notified
the sheriff that his dismissal would be
aired in the papers.
