Beach was exhibited when Colonel
Henderson referred to her paste ear
rings. "She wore them because they

exclaimed: God bless you. Camilla:

them again, and when your husband

Mrs. Beachs first name is Camilla.

state when Colonel Henderson had fn-

about six weeks later. the commission

of the bus and started to walk down

MAGUIRE Will
HAVELOOPHOLE
IS CONTENTION
Legal Feature Is Now Raised
Through Meeting of Hawaii
an Bar Association

Any criminal charges which Spe-
cial Prosecutor R. W. Breckons may
bring against Auditor Mcguire or any
other officials or persons in Hawaii
county will leave huge legal loop
hole for the defendants if they are
brought before Judge c. F. Parsons,
of the fourth circuit court at Hilo,
prior to the appointment of that jur-
ist or his successor by President vii.
son.
This loophole consists of the ques-
ton as to whether Judge Parsons now
has jurisdiction, his term of office
having expired without his reappoint-
ment, and as it involves the interpre-
tation of the Organic Act, would per-
NIT the defendants to carry their ap-
peal up to the supreme court of the
United States.
This feature has come to light fol-
lowing the meeting of the Hawaiian
Bar Association yesterday, when the
discovery was made that Associate
Justice Antonio Perry, of the supreme
court, and four of the circuit judges
have no legal authority to sit save as
Judges de facto.
President F. E. Thompson, of the
association, was authorized to cable to
Washington Immediately, urging reap
pointments or appointments of new
men to succeed the present officials,
thus to relieve serious and critical
situation in the territory
Unlike the governor, the territorial
secretary and appointees under the
governor. the association has found
that the circuit and supreme court
judges and officials of the federal
courts in the territory are appointed
for term without the saving clause
'or until their successors are appoint
ed and have duly qualified"
This means that these officials are
out of office, and under the strict in
terpretation of the Organic Act their
offices are vacant.
Discussing the situation this morn
ing Circuit Judge William l. Whitney,
one of those whose term ended some
weeks ago, admitted that officially he
can serve only as Judge de facto.''
Fortunately, in my case, | handle

to Hawaii are not persons of good
character ii is logical to infSr thai
their purpose in bringing her here is
an immoral one"
But the statement attributed to
Farmer to which the Japanese par
ticularly object is this:
1T is a well known fact that many
Japanese women who are of bad char
acter are able to conceal it from their
white friends and to successfully as
sumo a virtue which they have not.
| distinctly remember several years
ago in Honolulu that it was a fact
of common repute that many Japan
ese nurse-girls after having finished
their duties for the day were in the
habit of going to Iwilei and practic-
ing prostitution in the evening un-
known to their employers, who con-
sidered them girls of good character
and safe guardians of their children. "
This is the statement to which
prominent Japanese take violent ex-
ception and propose the massmeeting
to voice their protest. They declare
1t is an attack on Japanese character
and must not go unanswered.
Inspector Farmer gave three
grounds for denying admittance to the
girl-that she is being brought here
for some immoral purpose, that she
is likely to become a public charge,
and that her passage has been paid for
with the money of another and she
has not been shown not to belong to
an excluded class.
Inspector Moore. according to the
report of the boards proceedings, ia.
vored admitting the girl. I'VE have
no evidence that she is prostitute
or that she is immoral" he said 81

administration for the board to admit
this applicant. | submit to the ma
jority vote"
Thus, with Farmer and Durkee out
voting Moore. the girl was denied ad-
mittance She has retained Attorney
Lightfoot and the case, it was stated
today, will be appealed. iier Japanese
friends say that they are confident of
securing her admittance, but that the
bigger question involved is that of
clearing Japanese character of what
they consider an insult The appIica-
ton for admittance will be appealed TO
the department of commerce.
