AMERICAN BRAINS
 DESIGNING IN HAWAII
Director of the Reclamation Service Tells of Conditions as He
 Found Them in Hawaii.

Washington, Jan. 16.-tSpecial.)-- Frederick H. Newell, Director of the Reclamation Service of the Department Of the Interior, who has just returned from an inspection tour of the Ha- waiian Islands, Is planning extensive Government investigations for that distant part of the United States. He was assisted in his investigations by Governor Frear of Hawaii. who ac- companied him home and Is working with him in his plans which embrace the reclamation of tracts of Govern ment land on the islands for agricul- ture, a general irrigation system and ultimarely the improvement of the wa- terways and harbor facilities for com merciai purposes.
 The chief industries of Hawaii are the raising of sugar, the raising and canning of pineapples and the culti- vation of rice. banahas and a little coffee. Sugar is raised in the lowlands and pineapples are raised on the higher land, where the climate is better and more suitable for the employment of white labor. and 1t Is a part of the plan of the Government to foster the employment of white labor wherever possible on the islands. The first work planned Is said to be the reclamation of many thousands of acres of the high land of the islands, and this decision was reached after a careful study of the possibilities as disclosed by recent inspection of the large acreage under pineapple cultivation in the higher sec tionss. It Is said not to be the iuten- ton to suggest the increase Of pine apple cultivation. because that field Is already largely covered and filled. but 1t is believed that the land will admit of the introduction, of other agricultu- ral industries which will afford equally good opportunities for the employment of white labor.

REMARKABLE
 COMMISSION Nearly Half Century as
 Justice. JUDGE JOHN D. FULLER,s LIFE Retires After 45 Years Service as Justice of the Peace. Some vici.situdes That Interruptea His Tenure But Did Not Daunt Tenacies.s Young Man--
 Successor.

When John B. Fuller was yesterda, succeeded by W. N. Browder as Jus. tice of the Peace in Beat 1, he retired after fortyrfive years of service as c magistrate in Montgomery County-s record. in length of term, that is prob. the number of papers served during that time, estimated at 100000 in all, summons, complaints. bills and the like.
 It was in lss2 when John B. Fuller then q boy of 20, had returned from several months of service in the Con- federate Army, his eye-sight impaired and in need of recuperation. While at home in Montgomery, he was elect. ed Justice of the Peace of Beat s, a territory then extending from Court Street to the Lowndes County line, re- ceiving his commission on the 21st birthday. And then began a career as . magistrate that smacks of real adventure.
 The career took the young Justice into Virginia--for though his judicial ofitcs exempted Judge Fuller from military service, this privilege did not recovered from the former campaign. And while he became . soldier once more. he retained his commission as Justice of the Peace. until the surren- der at Appomatox.
 Many times, while in the army, Mr, Fuller relates, he made use of his commission as justice,' serving papers In Virginia. Personally to appear be- fore me. John B. Fuller, Montgomery County. Alabama. ...' and all the rest of the legal form. -
 Perhaps there were many of his pa- pers that never came back, or which never gained response, but the conse- unent contempt of court was wiped put in the surrender.
 Then everything was gone, commis- sion of the State of Alabama and all. But the young Justice returned h ome, raised . crop. and received an appoint mept as Justice within a few months. from L. E. Parsons, provisional Gov ernor of Alabama.
 Then began the stress. Judge Fuller tells how the Northerners and the Southern Radicals, befriendIng the ne- gro. attempted to thwart time and again the justice of his court.
 One instance of which he tells is that of his encounter with General Wagner Swayne. A negro had been hailed before the court of Justice Full ler: a message came from General 6wayne, requesting the release of the negro: the message became mandatory. and Mir. Fuller relates how he was forced to defy the military man. and proceed with the trial and conviction of the negro.
 The Reconstruction days brought Northerners and brought suffrage to the negro, and 1t was to a Radical that Justice Fuller lost in an election The victorious opponent was named Rose, and held the office for two years. Once again Justice Fuller received his commission. and held the ofice of Justice. through consecutive elections by his peers. since that day.
