tives Of that state. and also a Judge
81 the district court Of Denver, Colo.
About a year or a year aEd a half
ago he concluded to leave Denver and
locate in Hawaii and he has been there
ever since.
Mr.. Snart would maze an ideal
appOintee for ;his judgship. In his
experience on the bench he has had
not only the large litigation OF Denver.
but by reason of the preference Of at
tOrneys throughout the state TO try
cases in Denver, he has had great
deal Of litigation from the gu side
brought to his court by stipulation.
He is a conscientious, CAPABLE, indus
triOlIs man and with his large expert
enCe as a practitioner and judge he
would bring to the bench OF Hawaii
fund of legal knowledge and inform =
ton that would be OF great service IN
the administra ion Of justice there
therefore heartily recommend him tOr
the position"
That he was held in high esteem by
the distinguished contemporaries OF
his former home, Denver. is shown
by the following letters given him, ad.

Charles S. Thomas, chairman OF the
senate committee on woman suffrage:
Ben b. Lindsay, Denvers famous ju-
venile judge: also one addressed to
the justices of the supreme bench in
Hawaii by William A. Hill, ssociate
justice OF the supreme, court of the
state OF Colorado.
Senator Shafroths letter, dated
Washington, d. c., September 3, 1913,
says:

the house of representatives of the
Colorado general assembly and for a

Judge Stuart said, in answer to a
query this morning, that he had not
yet decided whether any changes
would be made in the personnel Of his
Cffiee force. Melville T. Simnnton is
the first clerk and V. NJ Harrison sec

Friends In Colorado.
Judge Stuart's powerful official and
political friends in Colorado evidently
we're largely instrumental in obtaining
his APRON ment in Hawaii. AS he
himself stated wher advised Of the
receipt OF the news by the St'rBuIIe-
tin Saturday, he had made no direct
application for the position.
As far back as August 20 of the
present year, however. he-had been a
receptive candidate, as shown by the
following recommendation by Senator
John y. Shafroth of Colorado, chair
man Of the senate committee on the
Pacific islands and Porto Rico, sent

atterney-general at Washington, u. c.:

Judge Stuart has been a prominent

Judge Ben B. Lindsay's letter, dated
March IS, 1914, says:
Hon. T. B.. Stuart of this city is
taking up his residence in Honolulu,
where he may decide to remain per
manently.
Judge Stuart was one of the ablest
and most learned judges who ever
graced the bench of the district court
In Denver, where he presided with
great credit to himself and that tri.
bunal for several years in Denver.
Judge Stuart was frequently men
toned for supreme judge and other
high offices within the gift of the leo
pie, but he preferred to remain free
lance to take part in the most inter
esting community struggles that we
ever had in Denver, where he was al
ways in the forefront fighting for right
and justice. In my own small part
in that struggle he was my friend and
ally. ~..-.
Judge Stuart is gentleman of the
highest character and integrity great

including those whom he has had to
oppose politically. He is recognized
as and undoubtedly is-one of the
ablest lawyers in this state, He has
been counsel in some of the most i'm.

state, where he has met with great
success as lawyer - ~

GERMAN ENVOY TELLS
BRYAN OF CONDITIONS

Charge Haimhausen. Of the German
Embassy, came TO Washington yester-
day and conferred with Secretary Ryan.
He assured the Secretary that the sit
uation with respect to Americans in Ger
many had been misrepresented, and that
only the lack OF transportation would in
terfere with the free exit Of Americans
from that country.
The order prohibiting the departure OF
Americans during the period of mo-
Utilization was necessary, the charge said,
because the movement Of the troops re-
uuired the use by the government Of all
the railroad facilities. He insisted, now
ever, that the mobilization period would
uot be construed as covering the entire
duration Of the war. and that few more
days would see 1t practically at an end.
As soon as the movement of troops dirnin-
ished, he said. releasing more and more
OF the railway facilities for transporta-
ton Of civilians, Americans would be free
to come or to go as they saw nj.
