SEEKING BENCH?

Circuit Judge }. Wesley Thompson
of Kailua, Hawaii, sailed for his home
on the Big Island today and with his
departure a report was put into cir
culation having bearing on the va
cancies soon to exist on the benches
of the federal and the circuit court.
1t is reported in court circles that
Thompson not only has an eye on the
circuit bench to be vacated tomorrow
by James l.. Coke, but that he has
sent in his name" as an applicant for
the federal bench position, to succeed
Judge C. F. Clemons. Whether Judge
Thompson also has an eye on Judge
Whitney's position is not stated.
Judge Thompson, whose bench at
Kailua is in the country, is said to
be seeking a bench in Honolulu for
the reason that he has a desire to re-
turn to the metropolis. AS he left
before the report began to circulate,
Judge Thompson could not be inter.
viewed as to the rumor. But those
who profess to know say it is true.

might be obtained would be pineappleS

The letter of Bond says in part:
"A number Of our largest exporters

templating the immediate constrGc-
ton of a 2500-toa ship to be operated
from here directly to the Hawaiian

Moves of Congress
BY c. s. ALBERT.


Especial Star-Bunetin Correspondence)
WASHINGTON, d. C., Dec. 3d.
The ladies Of Hawaii should be per.
mitted to vote. The territorial legis.
lature should have o referendum taken
to ascertain whether they desire ia
exercise this privilege.
Such is the mature Judgment OF
Delegate Kalanianaole. He has in.
trodnced q bill empowering the legis.
lature to submit the problem to a
direct vote OF the people,
IL Is safe assumption that many
weary months viii drag along before
the measure is enacted into law. A
prophet Is not needed to declare that
nothing OF this kind VIII happen un-
Gil after Congress adopts the pending
constitutional amendment for ratiffca-
tion by the states removing the quail.
fIcations OF sex from the ballot.
Legislation OF that character will not
come at this session OF Congress.
Probably n will not come during the
life Of the present administration.
President Wilson stands firmly on the
principle that suffrage is question
for determination alone by the yari-
Gus states. There Is not Q shadow
OF hope that suffrage viii besgiyen
women OF territory before their sis
tiers in the states have been accorded
the same boonif IL be one.
There is no chance on earth that
anything will be done with suffrage
at this session or Congress. The time
Is too brief and pending work so
heavy that al extraneous propositions
must 60 on the shelf until the coming

ATTORNEY SAYS
QUINN Bill 0. K.

Attorney-G General I. M. Stainback to-
day handed down an opinion to Audi
tor ]. H. Fisher to the effect that
e. W Quinn's senatorship in the ter
ritorS cannot be- held to prevent his
legally entering into q contract with
the territory. n.s@~
The opinion was given following a
request from the auditor for instruc-
tion as to procedure with bill for
plumbing work which Quinn had con-
tracted for at the new penitentiary.
Stainback construes Section 16S of
the territorial laws which Fisher was
considering when he referred the ques-
ton, as meaning by make contract"
to refer to a contract as an officer on
behalf Of the territory.
He says that this responsibility de-
wolves upon the superintendent Of
public works and cannot be held as
prohibitive of another officer enter
Ing into contract amy more than a
contract made by a notary public or
inspector of elections or national
guard officer with the territory for
the performance of such work"
He points out that Mr.. Quinn, in
contracting with the territory, did not
act as the agent of the territory. The
bill In question was for approximately
$4,000, portion of which had been
paid.

10 O'Clock tomorrow morning before
Chief Justice A. G. NJ. Robertson.
The attorney generals message was
brief. 1t said:
commission supreme court signed
Qualify"
This is the final development in a
series of rapid promotions of Judge
Coke. He had been on the local cir
cult bench, as successor to T. B.
Stuart, less than O month when he
was nominated by the president to
succeed Hon. E. NJ. Watson on the
supreme bench. Following closely on
this was the news that the nomina-
ton had been confirmed.
The elevation OF Judge Coke to
the supreme bench undoubtedly will
cause delay in the trial of criminal
cases in the circuit court as, after to-
morrow, there acan be no trials of
cases of this kind until his successor
Is appointed. 1t is also likely that
grand jury work will be held up until
the vacancy is filled.
Judge Coke will hold court at 8
o'clock tomorrow morning to pass

raignment of any persons who may be
indicted by the grand jury this after.
