GREAT NORTHERN PARTY
GOES ON AUTO TRIP
AROUND THE ISLAND

More than $50 Great Northern ex.
cursionists are making a tour of the
island today under the auspices of the
Paradise Tours Company. The trip
was begun at the wharf at $50 O'Clock
this morning and it is expected the
return to Honolulu will be made late
this afternoon
At Waialua the visitors were to be
the guests of Oscar Cox at an old
fashioned luau, with Hawaiian music,
hula dancing and other entertainment.
1t was the plan of those directing the
tour to give the visitors an opportunity
to visit the larger sugar mills and
pineapple canneries, and possibly see
something of Pearl Harbor
Many of these excursionists who did
not make the round-the-island trip
took automobiles and visited the
points of interest about Honolulu to-
day. Others are being entertained by
local friends.
The Great Northern is scheduled to
leave for Hilo at II o'clock tonight.

Change NLAW
firm, WILDER 8
LYMER TOLEAVE
Thompson & Milverton'' to Be
Name Soon, Is Report-Lymer
May Be Deputy City Attorney

Details are practically completed,
according to a general report, for a
change in the law firm of Thompson,
Wilder, Milverton & Lymer, to be-
come effective March l. II is stated
that Judge A. A. Wilder and William
B. Lymer are leaving the Arm, the
former TO open offices Of his own and
the latter TO enter the office Of the
city and county attorney, replacing
Philip l.. Weaver, second deputy, and
the present firm will then become
known simply as Thompson & Milver-
ton.
This, II is believed, is merely the
elimination of plans which were con.
templated a year ago, when Judge
Wilder and E. NJ. Watson were candi-
dates for appointment to the terrific
rial supreme bench. Watson received
his appointment, but Wilder continued
his work as usual It is known he de-
sired to withdraw at that time but
did not do so because his services
were required in the JohnIi estate
case, which has since been disposed
of in the United States supreme court,
and because of several minor matters
OF litigation which he had been hand
ling for the firm.
Frank e. Thompson is the only re-
naming member of the firm of Thomp-
son, Wilder. Watson & Lymer, in ex-
istence year ago. The business of
the legal organization perfected by
him will continue as before, it is stat
ed, the brunt of the work being han
died by himself and Fred w. Milver-
ton. The latter until about a year
ago was a deputy m the city and eoun-
tyE attorneys Office. j 81
