WHY DID WILDER
QUIT SUDDENLY?
Resignation of Supreme Court
Justice Gives Rise to
Many Guesses.

Justice Wilder of the supreme court
yesterday cabled to President Taft his
resignation, to take effect as soon as
a successor can be appointed.
This move on the part of Justice
Wilder came as a surprise, as, although
it was known that he intended to re-
sign, he had previously announced that
he would not do so until next month,
to take effect February /. Service UNI
til that date would have completed JUS
tice Wilder's fifth year ON the supreme
bench.
AS soon as it became known that the
justice had cabled his resignation to
take effect as soon as possible, the ques-
ton most frequently asked about the
courthouse was "why did he do it9'
Some of the courthouse employees and
others outside thought they could trace
in the sudden resignation strategic
move to embarrass the administration,
but ii is difficult to see how this could
work out. Governor Frear is now in
Washington, and it is to be expected
that as soon as the President receives
the cablegram from Justice Wilder, he
will call the Governor into consultation
and ask him to suggest a successor to
Mr.. Wilder. This gives Governor Frear
the trump hand, as it is extremely prob
able that any man he recommends will
be nominated by President Taft and
any nomination for the territorial SUI
preme bench sent to the senate will be
confirmed.
Another theory, and one which the
facts appear better to bear out, is that
! the dissensions among the members of
the supreme court have become so great
that Justice wilder feels that he can
no longer with dignity remain on the
bench. 1t Is generally understood that
! relations between the retiring justice
and Chief Justice Hartwell have been
strained for some time, aud IL is pos.
sible that the recent dissenting opinions
| Of Justice Wilder have not helped to
! heal the breach.
In any event Mr.. Wilder plans 10

aud the question Of his successor be-
comes the important one before the
/ community ard the attorneys,

BABB|TT
RESIGNS HIS
POSITION
Head of Hawaii's School System
Will Quit lob on Last
Day of Year.
SUDDEN MOVE UNEXPECTED
will Go Into Labor Bureau Of
the Sugar Planters
Association.
MOVE UNEXPECTED

Winfred II. Babbitt has rendered to
Acting Governor Mott.Smith his resig-
nation as Superintendent Of Public In
struction, to take effect December 81.
This move on the part of Mr.. Bah
bitt was entirely unexpected on the
part both of the community and of the
administration, the first intimation Of
his intention to leave his position COM
ing with the written resignation which
he presented to the Acting Governor
yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Babbitt leaves the government
service to enter that of the Sugar
Planters Association. He will, on
January l, become the assistant of X.
ID. Mead in the labor bureau of the
association, and will handle the statis-
tics of the bureau. In this work his
experience at the head of the school
system should make him valuable
man.
On October "a, 1905, he was offered
by Governor Carter the position of Su-
perintendent of Public Instruction. He
accepted October %, and took office
November /, succeeding James O. Davis,
resigned.
Mr.. Babbitt for three years held
professorship in Oahu College, and was
also director of that institution. After
leaving the college he entered the en-
ploy of the Won Hamm- Y Dung Company,
and remained with them several years.
He has shown great executive ability
in his various positions in Hawaii, and
should make valuable assistant in
the labor bureau of the Sugar Planters
Association.
r.. d. Mead, director of the labor
bureau of the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association, states that Mr.. Babbitt,
who is to be his assistant, will have
charge of the statistical and Office work.
This will leave Mr.. Mead more time
for outside work and for visiting the
plantations to which the laborers
brought here from other countries are
sent

Threw Rocks.
Some of them, armed with rocks,
came close to the fence and let fly
their missiles. One struck guard

Threatened the Consul.
Yesterday the crowd outside the
gates was as dense as ever and police
officers had to be summoned to guard
the entrance. The hose was turned on
a few of the worst again, but many
of them had been drinking, were drunk
and noisy and the cold water only made
them abusive.
They called for Consul.General Cana
varro and demanded that he admit
them not only into the grounds, but
into the rooms occupied by the immi-
grants. The consul explained that the
immigrants were in the hands of the
immigration officials and that he had
absolutely nothing to do with the peo-
pie until they were passed in.
Whenever he came to the gate this
rowdy element persisted in buttonhol-
ing the consul and finally became abu-
sive. When he was out of hearing
they became more and more abusive,
| heaping drunken curses upon his head
and declaring that If he left the
! grounds they would kill him.
One drunken Portuguese, not yet a
citizen, became so enraged at what he
considered to be the arrogance of the

coat off. He stamped upon his hat and

Financial Rating Dwindles.
The half-past one O'Clock yesterday
afternoon the first immigrant passed
out of the gates into the street and
went over to the channel wharf where
| his baggage was held in the keeIing of
! the customs authorities. In one hour
the immigrant officials passed one hun
dred and sixteen people. On the mani
fest some of them were stated to have
declared they had $25 or $50 or $40
but when some of the fifty-dollar ones
were examined and asked how much
money they had they said they had q
cents or 10 cents. One man with Z
family of seven declared he had not 8
cent. When asked where he expected
to get supper on no money, he shrug
ged his shoulders. However, most o.
them had friends outside or hav,
friends or relatives on other islands.

Food Was All Right.
The consul.general was informed ear.
ly by some immigrants that the food
with which they had been supplied on
board the Swanley was unfit to eat.
The consul-general notified Mr.. Brown
and requested that officer to make an
investigation. Accompanied by other
immigration officials they went aboard
and asked to be allowed to go into the
refrigerators and other supply rooms
and look over the provisions.
They brought out balls of cheese
English bologna sausages, bread, beans
and other materials. They tasted OF
these, ate portions and found them to
be as good as are found in any OF
the restaurants. The bologna, being OF
English make, was not so highly sea
soned as that to which they have been
accustomed, but it was excellent. The
bread, two days old, was good, and
compared very favorably with bread
from a local bakeshop.
The immigration officials supplied ey

Threaten Consul With
Death, Until Cooled
Off With the Hose.
cFrom Thursdays AdvertIser.)


Angry Portuguese, threatening that
they would kill their consul and dar-
ing the immigration officials to lay
hands on them, swirled around the
front entrance of the immigration sta
ton yesterday. They were drunk aud
noisy, cursing officials and everyone
else in sight and the only way that
could be found to cool them off was
to turn the hose on them.
The turbulent ones were exclusively
recent arrivals in Hawaii and their &C.
tions and language brought the blush
of shame to those Portuguese in the
crowd who had been born here or who
had lived here any number of years.
The rioters were from among those who
had arrived here three years ago on
the Heliopolis and who have been work
ing on the various Oahu plantations
since, having gathered in town now to
greet their friends and relatives from
the steamer Swanley.
Fought the Guards.
On Tuesday, when the immigrants
landed, r. c. Brown, inspeetor'in-
charge of the immigrant station, found
himself and force of helpers confronted
by surging crowd of resident Port
uguese who had gathered to meet the
newcomers. Those ashore thought ii
was their privilege to rush forward and
embrace their friends, to talk to them
and advise them as to their future
course Brown gave orders to clear the
entrance to the channel wharf and Their
to drive the people back to respect
able distance so that the local people
and immigrants should not come in con
tact. In order to get the crowd back
ropes had to be used. Even then the
local people, shouted to the immigrants
"Do not sign up to work on plantations

Portuguese came to blows and thu

After the immigrants were passed
