CEREMONY
ASNEW JUSTICE
TAKES THE OATH
Edward Minor Watson Sue
ceeds John 7. DeBot on
Supreme Bench
HINT OF POLITICS GETS
INTO SHORT SPEECHES
Tributes Paid Both New and
Retiring Iurists-Legal Fra
ternity Out in Force

Edward Minor Watson was formally
inducted into office as associate jus
tiee of the supreme court of Hawaii
With brief but impressive ceremony
in the courtroom at 10 O'Clock this
morning.
The formal ceremony of taking the
oath ended the official observance,
but unofficially considerable interest
was given the occasion by several
talks from prominent members of the
bar. And In one of these talks Judge
A. A. Wilder brought to the fore a
hint of Democratic politics that
evoked instant response from Presi-
dent F. E. Thompson of the Bar As
sociation and Attorney ID. L. Withing-
ton
Judge Wilder hinted that though
the Bar Association disclaims paying
attention to politics, still It Is signifi,
cant that in the IL years from 1900
to 1912 no Democrat was indorsed BY
the Association for the bench. Pres
ident Thompson denied any partisan
feeling on the part of the Bar Associ?
alton and Mr.. Wilmington differed
with Judge Wilder, stating that In one
instance, and, he believed, in two In
stances, during the period named
Democrats had been indorsed.
Many At Ceremony.
The supreme court room was filled
to capacity by the legal fraternity and
friends and well-wishers OF both the
new and retiring Justice when the
time came for taking the oath. Mrs.
Watson and their little daughter, Vir-
ginia Watson, were present and sew
eral other ladies' The court was cali
ed to order and the three Justices,
Robertson, Perry and DeBolt. entered
in their justices robes, with Mr.. Wat
son accompanying them, also robed.
The audience rose as they entered
and remained standing until they
were seated! ~ IS
Then Chief Justice Robertson ad-
ministered the oath, the written form
of which was signed first by the new
Justice and that by Judge Robertson.
The oath is as follows:
Il, Edward Minor Watson, do sol
emnly swear that / will administer
justice without respect to persons,
and do equal right to the poor and to
the rich, and that / will faithfully and
impartially discharge and perform all
duties incumbent on me as associate

Sir:-The Advertiser is regarded as

Mr. Robert Shingle has gone to
Washington to see what can be done
to get the United States to carry
out the original proposition, which the
Waterhouse Trust Company and a
large number of Others in Honolulu,
including really all the practical busi-
ness men in the place. believe is the
proper one, that is, to have the origi-
nal Mahuka site used and a building
erected there at once, if it is found
impossible to go ahead with the Fort
street ccndemnations. Mr.. Shingle
will work for this honestly, as he has
always done, and those who original

Plans were discussed this morning
by President George Carter of the
Chamber of Commerce and President
w. r. Harrington of the Merchants
Association for massmeeting to dis
cuss the mueifdiscussed but uncom-
pleted questicn-ef a federal building

open the question, at least SO far as
Washington is concerned. Whether
Il Is to be reopened here, whether a
change IS to be made from the Ma
huka site, is something the leaders of
the commercial bodies talked over
this morning, together with plans for
securing joint expression of opinion
from the two organizations.
A massmeeting may be held early
next week, possibly on Monday.
Suggestions have been made that
the commercial bodies ask all inter.
ested citizens to attend and hear the
discussion
Another suggestion is that the news
papers print blank ballots on which
the people in general may express
their views.
The directors of the Merchants As.

afternoon at which the federal build

Since leaving Americus, where the.g
came few days ago inspecting pecan
lands, the party of Chicagoans, conf
Quoted by Mr.. w. A. Hamilton, sailed
manager for Lowrey Bros. Co., of Am
ericus, but with offices in Chicago, has
been showing the prospective purchas1
ers the pecan groves owned by his
company near Dawson.
This grove has proven bonanza, as
shown by the following story from Tho
Dawson News. which tells thusly cf
the visit there:
Several Chicagoans were in Daw-
son Friday, the object of their trip be-
ing to inspect the pecan orchards *
Southwest Georgia with a view to
making investments.
Among those in the party were w.
A. Hamilton, sales manager for Low
rey Bros, who perhaps have the larg-
est individual pecan grove in Georgia
on their Hollis place twelve miles east
of Dawson, and Messrs. T. P. Byczet,
G. Nelson and N. Swanson.
Before coming to Dawson these
gentlemen visited pecan groves below
Albany but found nothing that SUITED
them as well as this immediate section
and the groves they saw here. The re-
suit was that they bought several
tracts from Lowrey Bros.
THE pecan industry is becoming a
large and valuable one in this section.

FORTUNE TELLER
REFUSES To MARRY

Atlanta, March 25.-"I couldn't
stand being fieeced and heart-broken
at the same time" is the way Mrs. Eva
Bohemia described to the court her ex-
periences with S. 2. Bischopf, a pro-
fessional hypnotist, spiritualist and
heart-breaker.
Mrs. Bohemia had him arrested after
he had borrowed several sums of mon
ey from her, while the two were engag-
ed to be married. Later she says, she
began to suspect and then to be GER
tain, that he intended neither to pay
the money back nor to marry her.
Those fortune tellers have a pow
erful hold on women" she told the
court why he made me conflue
things to him that wouldn't have told
my own mother"
After the hearing Bischopf managsd d
to settle the case by agreeing to re-
fund to the heart-broken lady the
money he had borrowed from her, but
he said that not even the strong arm
of the law could prevail on him to
keep the other part of his bargain.
One rason, said Bischopf, why he
couldn't marry Mrs. Behenna, was
that he already had a perfectly good
wife, and that he had no idea of COM
mitting bigamy. .sa

ARREST
BOY AFTER HOT
PISTOL BATTLE

Terre Haute, Ind, March 25.-After
a battle with the police during when
more than fifty shots were exchanged
Ernest Williams, aged 10, surrendered
early today, his clothing soaked witl
blood from many wounds,
The boy was caught in a gun shop
and refused to surrender. He barricad-
&c himself in an automobile and began
to fire at the officers. The policemen
procured riot guns and riddled the au.
tomobile with bullets.
Williams, wounded several times, de-
cided to capitulate and with arms
above his head, staggered out of the
store. He was sent to a hospital
where it was said his condition was
serious.
Five loaded revolvers were found in
the boys pockets and he had placed a
number of loaded rifles and shot guns
in the automobile, which was in the
rear of the store, where he made his
stand against the police.
