By a resolution passed at meet
ing in the Library Of Hawaii last
night. the :'itizers Protective com
mittee endorsed the bill now pending
in the legislature which provides for
the establishment of a court OF de-
mestic relations, urging that the bill
be made a Law. The bill is one OF
several prepared by the legislative
committee OF the Associated ChGrl-
ties. of which Judge Sanford 3. Dole
is chairman.
The passage Of the bill is opposed
by Circuit Judge c. W. Ashford. who
has addressed a letter TO President
ChillingwOrth of the senate and
Speaker Holstein of the house. Judge
William l.. Whitney Of the juvenile
court argued for the bill, in writ
ten statement to the committee. 9th
er speakers in favor Of the bill were
Miss Margaret Bergen Of the Asso-
ciated Charities. who told of the sue
cess of a domestic relations court in
Chicago; Former Governor George R.
Carter and Hon. A. l.. c. Atkinson.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas. this committee has been
kept alive because CT the desire of its
members to not only prevent crimes
of violence towards women, but to
protect them from wrongs; and
Whereas. our attention has been
called to the project of creating a
court of domestic relations in this
circuit. as provided for in house bill
No. 229; and

of the community. its isolation, our

edge OF each other. we are convinced
that, notwithstanding cur beautiful
surrC findings. the sum OF orr individ-
ual happiness can be increased by
higher standards OF human relations:
and
'Whereas. We believe that the es.
adjustment Of such court will be a
monument to whatever Legislature"
and administration may bring il into
being:
Now. therefore. be It resolved,
that the Citizens Protective Commit
tee endorses the proposed bill and
recommends its passage by the legis-
lature now in session.
Judge Ashford argues that there is
no necessity for such a bill, from the
fact that the reconciliation OF dOmes-
tic differences could be accomplished
legitimately by the Judge in charge OF
divorces and separations In COnClu-
sion he said the proposed salary OF
$3.50 a month for the judge of the
court of domestic relations is an I'M
necessary expense.
A plan o: the proposed court was
laid before the committee by Judge
Whitney's letter.
He pointed out that here there are
10 times the number Of divorce cases
in proportion to population as in any
other country. The bill, he added.
provides that all cases for divorce
shall be examined by the Judge before
the hearing with a view to seeing
whether the difficulty can he ar
