Chief Justice Cornish
Chief Justice Leslie G. Cornish Of
Augusta said:
Senior Associate Justice George NJ.
Hanson has been a faithful and eff
cient public servant and his work upon
the bench of the supreme judicial court
for Is years has been especially marked
by his love of justice and his untiring
efforts to promote it. AS man he was
high-minded. big-hearted, kindly. SYM
pathetic, charitable and, above all, low
able. The legal profession throughout
the State has lost a loyal friend and
his associates on the bench a beloved
companion and co-worker. Our grief is
distinctly and deeply personal"
Justice PhiIbrook
Associate Justice Warren c.. Phil
brook Of Waterville, now the senior
justice of the court, said:
IN the death of Judge Hanson an
inexpressable loss has been sus-
tanned by the supreme court. the bar
of Maine and those who as litigants

teristics of Judge Hanson were his
good nature. kindly spirit, unyield-

Such characteristics carried his
/ influence and value far outside the
circle within which dwells a justice

| death will be silent but most sin
! cere. From every lip will sponta-

! for his career and affection for his
memory. A good man in every sense
of the word, has gone and while an
other may be appointed to the
bench, the position which he held in

can never be filled"
Justice Spear
Associate Justice Albert NJ. Spear
| (retired) of Gardiner said:
Justice Hanson was one Of the
finest characters 1 have ever known.
1 enjoyed not only his personal
friendship but that of his family in
an unusual degree. His family life
was one of mutual love and respect
He was a lovable companion. In his
judicial work he was not only q good
lawyer, but what in the end is still
more to be desired, in the perform

Ex-Attorney General William r.
Pattangall of this city said:
my friendship with Judge Hanson
extended over a period of 40 years.
Since his appointment to the sup

less of him than formerly, but my
regard and respect for him increased
as 1 observed the manner in which
he performed his official duties.
George NJ. Hansons private life
and public career were alike worthy
OF admiration and emulation. He
gained the affectionate regard Of his

says the report issued Saturday by
Secretary Cornish OF the Charities

The report continues as follows:
1.-THE average offender is usually
committed to the county Jail as a
consequence of unwholesome envi-
ronment and lack Of will power and
he cannot be reformed by Indifference
and impersonal supervision, but by
kindness and encouragement. It Is
not simply a question Of keeping
boarding house. That would be an
easy task. The jail should be kept
clean and sanitary at all times. but
the real opportunity in my judge

Pay Tributes to
Late Associate
Justice Hanson

| An incident when a leading Maine
| lawyer refused a position to wear the
| judicial ermine is recalled by the death
of George NJ. Hanson of Calais. asso-
ciate justice of the supreme judicial
court.
1t was hot day in July. 1911, and
Frederick w. Plaisted of Augusta was
governor. Gov. Plaisted was on the
point of selecting an associate justice
to fill the vacancy caused by the retire
ment Of the late Chief Justice Lucillius
A. Emery of Ellsworth The nominal
tion book was open on the governors
desk.
Gov. Plaisted instructed his private
secretary to get into communication
with William r. Pattangall, at that
time the attorney general and the
mayor of Waterville, with the request
that he come to the governors office.
In a short time Mr.. Pattangall APP
peared.
Mr.. Attorney General" said Gov.
Plaisted. Il am about to appoint JUS
tice Of the supreme judicial court to
succeed Judge Emery. / will place
your name on this nomination book in
a minute If you will only say you will
accept"
IT can't accept" replied Mr.. Pattan-
gall. Il certainly appreciate your
kindness and courtesy. governor. but I
have endorsed George NJ. Hanson of
Calais and / sincerely hope that you
will appoint him to the bench"
The name of George NJ. Hanson Of
Calais as an associate justice OF the
supreme judicial court was then placed
on the nomination book.
TRIBUTES TO JUSTICE
The following tributes have been
paid to the late Justice Hanson:
Gov. Baxter
"In the death of Judge Hansen OF
Calais the State of Maine has lost one
of its ablest jurists and finest citi-
zens. He rendered distinguished serv-
ice and was honored and loved by the
people of Maine.
ut will be difficult to fill his posi-
ton on our supreme judicial court, for
his legal learning and his experience
in public affairs especially qualified
him for the distinguished station
which he occupied.

stool and box for the prisoners be-
longings. The bedding should consist
of a mattress, pillow, sheets and ne
cessary blankets.
Each cell should be lighted by
electricity.
"That each cell on the second door
be equipped with a toilet and lava
tory.
'sThat aluminium dishes be substi-
tuted for itn dishes now in use.
1.-The sheriff should give financial
assistance to discharged prisoners.
Discharged prisoners should receive
at least two dollars, sufficient wear
ing apparel and railroad ticket to
any plce to which the fare does not
exceed eight dollars.
1.-THE kitchen should be entirely
separated from the furnace room.
While the kitchen was neat and clean
in the morning when the Jail was in
spected, it is obvious that the proper
place to prepare food Is not in the
basement unprotected from the fur
mace dust.
1.-THE apparent defect Of association
In fdleness and the unrestrained COM
munication of prisoners should be
revolutionized. Academic and voca-
tional training will Undoubtedly solve
the problems presented by deteriora-
ton through idleness and vicious
ccmmingling. Its accomplishment is
herculean task, no doubt, but 1t can
be done. AS step IN that direction
I would suggest that the prisoners
who can neither read nor write be
tutored either by prisoners or persons
especially employed for that work.
'The Jail under the supervision of
Sheriff John A. Mooers has been
wisely directed. The sheriff appears
to be a man Of broad interests and
OF warm and sincere sympathy and is
apparently interested In the useful
ness of his Jail to help prisoners to
adjust themselves to right living"

Every person received at the jail,

should be given a wasserman test.
Positive cases should be given vigor-
Gus antisyphilitic treatments. Daily
