Who TO SUCCEED
JUDGE WATSON IS
Open QUESTION
Judge Ashford and Attorney
General Stainback Promi-
nently Mentioned
BOTH ARE FOUND TO BE
IN RECEPTIVE MOOD
Three Other Well Known Law
yers Spoken Of; Bar ASSo-
citation Meets Tomorrow

A reported active movement among
members Of the bar association look
ing toward the Endorsement uf Attor-
ney General |. M. Stainback as sue
cessor to Associate Justice z. M. Wat
son of the supreme court, Is one Of the
several developments today in the sit
uation preceding the filling Of the
vacancy by the president.
Stainback is in receptive mood,
as is also Circuit Judge c. w. Ash
ford, mentioned in local court circles
as the logical man for the bench.
Democrats are reported to be boost
ing for Attorney Harry Irwin, former
iy of Hilo. Judge Arthur Wilder was
mentioned this morning as a Iossible
candidate by one Of the higher-ups OF
the territorial government, as was
also Judge w s. Edings OF Maui
In the opinion of many attorneys
and court officials, Judge Ashford is
the logical man to succeed Justice
Watson. With 80 years experience at
the bar and with more than two years
on the bench, Judge Ashford may re-
ceiye the Endorsement of the bar asso-
citation, say those who profess TO
know. His familiarity with local con-
ditions and with history thar has been
made In the islands during the last
30 years is said to be one OF the I'M
portant points In his favor.
Judge Ashford will accept the ap-
pointment II it is offered him, he
naodestiy admitted today Although
in receptive mood, he asserted he
has made no personal eHdeayor to-
ward securing a promotion 10 the su-
preme bench.
81 will not ask a man to even vote
for me at the bar association" he con-
tinued. "The members of the bar
know far better than / If ! am quali-
fled for the supreme bench. After
having been at the bar for 30 years
and on the bench for more than two
years, the members of the bar will
know whether am qualified, whether
know it or not. II the members Of the
bar feel that am qualified for the
position, they are at liberty to say
so If they care to-"
Attorney General Stainback smiled
this morning when asked If he is
candidate for the position of associate
justice.
II guess am as much candidate
as any Of the rest of them" he said.
Il haven't applied for the position,
but / should probably accept it if Of
fered to me-"
Stainback has been in the islands
since 1912, coming here just after fin.
ishing his course of law at the. Uni
versity Of Chicago. He finished at
Princeton in 1907. II named for the
place he would be one OF the young
est attorneys ever named to a state
or territorial supreme bench.

EXPERT FORESEES A
HUGE AUTO GROWTH

Output of autos in the United States
for the next fiscal year will be more
than 100000 cars and may reach
100000, L. c. RockhilI of Akron,
Ohio, told the members of the Rotary
Club at lunch today. Rockhill is the
manager of the tire department of
the Goodyear company, and his talk
was the feature of the weekly ses-
sion.
RockhilI told the Rotarians that
tire and auto companies are giving
more and more service to their pat
rons and as result never before has
there been such satisfaction with
the cars and tires as Is now the case,
and he predicted further advances in
the future. He admitted there had
been abuses in the industries but laid
this primarily to the tremendous
growth of the auto business in the
past ten years.
Rockhill paid nice compliments to
Honolulu and declined to comment
, on local auto conditions because he
hasn't been here long enough to do
so with authority.

General Comment

The members Of the Hawaiian Sug-
ar Planters Association held an ex-
ecutive session this morning in their
rooms in the Bank of Hawaii build
ing for a discussion of various mat
ters which have arisen during the
past year relative to the manage
ment of the plantations, labor and
bonus problems, the growing of cane
and the manufacture Of the sugar
and means of improving conditions
were taken up and talked over. The
meeting was not open to the public.
Following the meeting Georg Ro-
dick, the newly elected president of
the association, said that the commit
tees for the ensuing year would not
be chosen until some time after the
meeting.
This afternoon at 1:20 the members
again took up the discussion of the

from final molasses, which up to this
time was considered impossible, a
report On which was read by Will
ans Wednesday afternoon at the
meeting of the association, is caus-
ing much comment today by local
business and sugar men as it is con-
sideFed one. OF the most important
finds Of recent years. Its value to
the sugar growers on this years aver
age figures is over $2,500.000 and as
the cost of machinery necessary for
it's manufacture is small, 1t Is ex-
pected that many of the plantations
will try it out as soon as possible.
The amount Obtained is one and one
eighth per cent, which formerly was
believed absolutely lost.
The new process worked out by viii
liams Is to boil the final molasses un-
til it is practically free of water and
then remove the sucrose by high
speed centrifugal This sucrose, the
report says, can then be converted in
to commercial sugar.

Thayer Recommends Govern
or'S Secretary to Depart

Will Wayne, secretary to the gov

office of special disbursing agent, by
Territorial Secretary Wade Warren
Thayer. This is one OF the ex-officio
positions which go with the latter Of
flee which Thayer is relinquishing In
view of his retirement
Thayer told the Star-Bulletin to-
day that he has recommended Wayne
for the office of special disbursing
agent, having written to Secretary or
the Interior Lane, naming the gov
ernor's secretary as good choice for
the job.
AS soon as this news was turned
loose in the territorial halls it start
ed the wise ones to gussing whether or
not the recommendation could have
any possible connection with the con-
sideration of Wayne as man for a
higher position.
Governor Pinknam today stated that
he has not yet received formal no
tice from Washington regarding the
vacancy, and Until he does it Is not
likely that he will take steps toward
filling It.
The duties of the place to which
Wayne has been recommended are at
high tide during the session Of the
legislature as they include the proper
distribution of the $4,000 fund which
the federal government sends every
two years to this territory.
Eben Cushingham, clerk to the ter
