Kemp Is Named
For Promotion
To Supreme
Bench
Judse Edin'!g,s,' To
Come To Oahu;
Burr To Maui

Justice James L. Coke was
nominated yesterday by .Presi-
dent. Wilson for chief justice OF
the supreme court Of Hawaii. to
succeed A. 6. NJ. Robertson,
whose resignation went into eff
feet some time ago Advices to
this effect were received yesterI
day in a special message to The
Advertiser from its Washington
correspondent.
Circuit Judge s. B. Kemp was
nominated to fill the vacancy of
supreme court justice that will be
caused by the elevation of JUS
tice Coke to chief justice.
Circuit Judge William S. Ed
ings of the Maui circuit bench,
the second circuit court, was
nominated for the first circuit
bench to succeed Judge Kemp.
L. L. Burr, a local attorney,
was named by the President to
take the place of Judge Edings
on the Maui bench.
General approval Of these nomina.
tions was expressed last night by mem.
bcrs of the local bench and bar.
1t is ge1eralIy believed that the ap.
pointment of Justice Coke narrows
down the race for the appointment Of
executive of the Territory, though it
has been considered reasonably certain
for some time that he would be nomi,
mated for chief justice and was out
otthearase for the goyernorsbip.
Rise Is Rapid ..,....., 49,.
Judge Coke's rise to his high posi-
ti6n has been rapid. From California
he came to the Territory nearly TWEEN.
ty years ago. For more than ten years
he praetised law. at Waikiki on the
Island Of Maui, after which he came
to Honolulu and formed a partnership
with f. ~. Douthitt under the firm
name of Doutbitt and Coke, which was
in fEistenee for several years.
During the last two years he was on
Maui Judge Coke was the county attor-
ney. After coming to Hon oiulu he was
elected to the territorial senate.
In December 1919, after President
Wilson's election, he was endorsed by
the Democratic territorial committee
fot appointment as United States attor.
ney. On November IS, 1916, he was
nominated as circuit judge for this
circuit, position he held only to Jan,
nuary I, 1917, shortly after his confirm.
alton when he was elevated to the su.
preme bench to succeed Judge f. NJ
Watson as associate justice,
Had Strong Support
Promotion of Judge Kemp to the su
preme bench has been anticipated in
political aud legal circles, as he was
known to have strong backing in Wash
ington for his appointment as an asso
Ciate justice.
Judge Ediugs who is to succeed
Judge Kemp in Honolulu as circuit
judge. is former Honolulu resident
who has been on the Maui circuit court
bench for the last three or four wears
He has long been prominent figure in
Democratic politics.
Judge Burr, q comparatively new
conner to the Islands, is the least known
of any Of, the four named in the judi
ciPl nominations. He is . graduate of
the University Of Valparaiso in Indi
ana and took up the practise of law
in 1909, He came to Honolulu in Octo-
Der. 1915. He was born September 20

Clarence H. Mackay, president OF tho

Mr.. Burleson said the general man

ted that under ? competitive system
many agencies had to be maintained,
which, under unified control, could
safely be eliminated. He quotes an
officer of the company, attributing to
him a statement that call boxes are
wasteful and that telegraph offices in
hotels from which the locality Is
served might as well be discontinued.
