where they will come in contact

as a candidate before the people

tion to the Office to which he was
appointed by Gov. Hooper--to
succeed Chancellor Bullock.
Chancellor Ross is not a new
man to the Progress editor. We
have known him for many years,
and most favorably. In the
study and practice of law, Chan
cellor Ross was regarded as a
protege of the late Judge I. p.
Bateman of Savannah, one of
the ablest of lawyers and most
incompatible Judges the State
has known in half century.
He has made a name for him
self in his chosen profession and
in his comparatively short time
on the bench has made fine
impression on lawyers and liti-
giants in the courts he has held.
Chancellor Ross will be in Lex
ington on the first Monday in
April to hold his court here and
will be pleased to meet the peo-

DIR. MCOY HAS
NO CONFORMATION
ON TRIP IOEAST
Would Prefer to Continue With
His Present Work At the
LeproSy Station

DIR. George w. Mccoy, director OF
the United States leprosy investiga-
tion station here, has not received any
official confirmation of the wireless
report published a week ago to the
effect that he was to be transferred
to Massachusetts as commissioners OF
health. His sole information to date
is a cable from personal friend in
the east which tends to confirm that
appearing In the local newspapers.
This is that the governor Of the state
of Massachusetts has asked President
Wilson to detail him as state commits
sioner of health for that common
wealth
If the president grants the govern
ors request the treasury department,
by which the bureau Of public health
Is controlled, will make the transfer
and DR.. Mccoy will go east although
he stated this morning that he would
personally much prefer remaining
with his present work in Hawaii.
Though the health work in Massachu-
setts, as In other states. Is purely a
state affair, the federal government
occasionally assigns one of its own
experts to assume charge of the health
work at the governors request. This
was done some three years ago In the
case of DR.. Curry, who took hold OF
California's hygienic and health affairs
shortly after leaving these islands.

Chauffeur, Who Ran Down Po-

Needless Driving

For heedlessly driving his car on
Kalawaua avenue at 3 o'clock on the
morning of July 1G, when he ran into
Mounted Police Officer Manuel r.
Moranha, William L. Welsh went to
trial before jury in Circuit Judge
Ashford's court this morning. Mo-
ranha and the other members OF the
joy-riding party, including the two
women from Iwilei, were introduced
as witnesses for the prosecution.
which completed its evidence at 1880
The hearing was finished at 1880
o'clock and at late hour this afternoon
hung jury was anticipated. After
an hours deliberation the jurors re-
ported at 1:30 that they could not
agree, and they we're given an hours
recess for luncheon. after which they
reassembled at 2:30 for further delib-
Grafton.
Welsh, the defendant, was the only
witness introduced by his counsel At
torneys E. A. Doutnftt and w. M.
Straus. His testimony was quite sim
liar to that of the other witnesses who
testified for the prosecution, save that
he averred he was not travelling fast
and that he did not see Moranha until
his car was almost on top of the off
Ger and his horse.
The accident out of which the pres
ent case grew resulted in severe in
juries to Officer Moranha, who spent
some time in the hospital but Is now
able to walk without cratches. The
horse was SO badly injured that it
was shot later, and Moranha has filed
a damage suit recently against Welsh
for the loss of the animal and the in
juries sustained by himself.
The prosecution witnesses besides
Moranha were Charles A. Reynolds, q
chauffeur and friend Of Welsh, who
joined the defendant in the auto ride
that evening; George Gerasimos, a
waiter at the Unicn Grill. who was
picked up by the party at the restaur-
ant and taken out to Waikiki, and
Mabel Guest and Dolly Gordon, the
two women from Iwilei These were
all in the automobile at the time OF
the accident, Mabel Guest sitting In
the front seat with Welsh, who was
driving, and Dolly Gordon in the ton
neau with Gerasimos and Reynolds.
Their testimony confiicted only
slightly, differing little as To the
speed at which. the machine was traY-

officer and his horse suddenly doomed

None were able to say just how far
the car moved before it cam6 to =
stop directly after the accident. and
there appeared to be some conflict as
to whether the klaxon horn was blown
before Moranha was seen. The latter

REYNOLDS said that when ne nrse

about 25 or 80 feet ahead OF the car.
and that the machine was travelling 20
or 30 miles an hour. One Of tne
women said when she first saw ne
