have to take the bit in Jneir teeth
and pay due respect to the occasion.
Judge De Bolt had been hard work
er They did not see him much any
where else but where performing his
judicial duties.
1t was eminently proper, it was in
accordance with the fitness of things,
that so devoted judge should now oc-
cupy his present elevated position. Mr..
Kinney was sure that he spoke for all
the members of the bar in congra-
tulating Justice De Bolt.
Mr.. Andrews, as a member Of the
Attorney Generals department, was
sure that he represented the executive
officers who had come into contact with
Judge De Bolt in extending to him
most hearty congratulations. He had
been here for many years, a large por-
ton of the time presiding on the
bench, and his legal and judicial ability
were recognized by all. The President
of the United States had not honored
Judge De Bolt beyond what he deserv-
ed, and in his appointment had paid
a compliment to the bar of Hawaii.
Justice De Bolt said he took it for
preciated the honor done him, and his
appreciation of the compliments OF
the members of the bar was more than
he could express.
Chief Justice Hartwell then directed
that the remarks just heard be placed
on the minutes of court.

Young Steffgen was driving the car
and was negotiating an II turn at the
time. When he saw the sand he ap-
piled the brake, but it was too late

rolled over twice in its course to the
bottom of the hill, where it lodged
against two boulders.
All of the occupants sustained brok-

senior, lost an eye, sustained four
broken ribs and two of the ribs pierced
