CITIZEN Robertson Is Chief Justice Takes v0ath of Office This Morning Praise For HartwelFs Services Before a gathering this morning that taxed to the utmost the capacity of the Supreme Court room in the Judiciary building A. G. M. Robertson took the oath of office as the Chief Justice of the Territory. A tribute was paid to the services of Chief Jus tice Hartwell by W. A. Kinney in the course of a speech which many de clared to be the best summary of tho spirit of the old and new Hawaii that J has ever been made. Court convened promptly at 10 o'clock, Judge Dole of the United States District Court taking a seat upon the bench with Chief Justice Hartwell and Associate Justices De Bolt and Perry. The new Chief Jus tice entered and took his seat at a small table near the bench. Chief Justice Hartwell then spoke as fol lows: "Gentlemen of the Bar: Before bid ding you farewell officially I am hap py to say it is nothing more than an official farewell I will say a few words of those who have preceded me here, with reference mainly to their respective terms of office. . During the period1 of about sixty years since the organization of this court we have had six chief Justices. By Article 82 of the Constitution of Kamehamcha III, granted June 14, 1852, it was provided that "the su preme court shall consist of a chief justice and two associate justices," and by Article 86, that the chief Jus tice of the supreme court "shall be the chancellor of the Kingdom." Un der that constitution Win. h. Lee was appointed In 1852 chief justice of the supreme court and chancellor of the Kingdom.. The Jurisdiction of the! court is defined In an act relating to the judiciary department approved May 26, 1853, "enacted by the King, the Premier and Nobles resident near His Majesty," taking effect, by section 64, "from and after the first Monday of December, 1852." Mr. Lee had been presiding judgo of the court of Oahu in 1846, and from 1847 chief judgo of the superior court of law and equity which had been established under the third act of Kamehameha III, organ izing the judiciary department, "done and finally passed at the Council House at Honolulu, the 7th day of September, 1847." Mr. Lee died May 28, 1857, and his successor, Ellsha H. Allen, appointed Juno 4, 1857, resign ed while Minister at Washington, Jan uary 31, 1877, being succeeded by Chaa. C. Harris, first associate Jus tice, who died July 2, 1881. His suc cessor, Albert F. Judd, the last chief Justice under the Monarchy, as well as under the Republic of Hawaii, who had been attorney general with King Lunalilo and associate justice from February 18, 1874, died May 20, 1900. and was succeeded by Walter F. Freao appointed by President Mc Klnley, July 5, 1900, resigning Aug ust 15, 1907, to accept the appoint ment of governor. It is needless to remark that no Incumbent of this high office has ever sought for it either directly or indirectly. Retires for Younger Man. When I came upon this bench, June 14, 1894. I thought I should be fortun ate if I served through the term for that carried me two years across the scriptural limit of three score years and ten; when I received the appoint ment to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Frear's resignation, August 15. 1907, It occurred to me that Mr. Roosevelt, for once, was going back on his own record as to the age for efficient public service.
