JUDGE WILFLEY

ON LORRIN ANDREWS
Apparently Trying to Get Even for
Call Down He Got From United

Judge Lebbeus R. Wilfley, Judge of
the United States Court for China,
eems to" be seeking revenge on Lor-
Tin Andrews for the very peremptory
order the United States Circuit Court
of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit sont
to Judge Wilfley early in this year,
when - the latter refused to admit an
American citizen to ball on appeal
from a six months' sentence.
The China Gazette of August 31 re
ports in their entirety the proceedings
having made false statements In some
of the proceedings in the Circuit Court
of Appeals.
As appears from the report of the
proceedings in the China Gazette, and
from the newspaper accounts of the
matter in the San Francisco papers of
the, time, S. R. Price,, an American
citizen in Shanghai, was tried before
Judge Wilfley on a charge of assault
and was defended by G. D. Musso, an
Italian attorney practising in Shang-

citation I:self is not given, but from
the answer and other .proceedings it
would appear that Wilfley Is trying to
disbar Andrews because of Andrews
professional actions before the United
Circuit Court of. Appeals in San
Francisco last winter, fin behalf of
S. R. Price, who was refused bail by
Judge Wilfley. Jt would seem that
Wilfley now charges Andrews with
months' imprisonment. From this sen
tence he appealed and applied to be ad
mitted to bail pending the appeal. This
was denied. Price thereupon applied
to the United States Circuit Court of
Appeals in San Francisco, through
Lorrin Andrews and Bert Schlesinger,

MAUSOLEUM AT COLUMBUS
'., 'Mother " Parker, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth ParkeT, who would have been
1Q2 years of age on December ! next, died yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.
The remains will be cremated today. The notice of the public funeral will be
given out later. j . - ,
Yesterday afternoon there were services for the family at the Parker
residence, the Rev. O. II. Gulick presiding, assisted by1ha Rev, Mr. Lono of
Kaumakapili church.
'Mother1 Parker leaves four children, as t follows: Rev. II. II. Parker,
pastor of Kawaiahao church; Mary Si Parker, Carrie D. Parker and Mrs. J. P.
Green. Two grandchildren are in' Boston. They are Mrs. II. Jt. Wilcox and
Carrie P. Green.
Miother Parker was born Mary Elizabeth Barker at Branford, Connecticut,
December 9, 1805, and lived during her youth at Guilford, Conn., where sh
was married September 24, 1832, to Benjamin Wyman Parker, of Reading, Mas3.,
who was two years her senior. With her husband she was a member of the
sixth company of missionaries sent by the American Board. That company
included besides these two, Rev. John Diell and wife, Chaplain of the Amer
ican Seaman's Friend Society, Lemuel Fuller, printer, and Rev. Lowell Smith
and wife. This company sailed from NewJLiodon, Connecticut, Nov. 21 .1832,
on th ship Mentor and arrived after a voyage of 161 days, May 1, 1833.
The "Historical Missionary Album" published a few years ago contains the
following: "The brigantine Dhaulie, Captain Bancroft, sailed from Hono
lulu, July 2, 1833, for the Marquesas Islands, via Tahiti, and arrived at Nuu
hiva, August 10, having as passengers, Messrs. Alexander Armstrong, and
Parker, with their wives, and also three Hawaiian men servants, whose help
proved invaluable. For sufficient reasons this mission was given up and the
missionaries returned in the whaleship Benjamin Rush, Captain Coffin, arriving
atHonolulu, May 12, 1834. A milch cow presented by Mr. Bicknell, while
they were at Tahiti, was an honored attache of the company, and came with
them on their return, and passed hen remaining years in the pastures at
Kaneohe." . "
The Parkers on their return from the Marquesas were stationed in mis
sionary work at Kaneohe, on the other side of this island, where they remained
until 1869 when they came to Honolulu. Here her . husband was associated
with Rev. D. Baldwin in the training of native theological students. He died
in 1877.
The later years of Mother Parker's life were spent tranquilly with her
children in Honolulu. She took an interest in current events especially those
that related to the work of the churches. For many years, of course, extreme
age has kept her closely at home, but her birthdays have been observed for
many years, as an event, and have been the occasion for many to call on her.
Her one hundredth birthday was especially marked in its observance.
This was December 9, 1905. The Hawaiian band under the, direction of Cap
tain Berger went to her Judd street residence and gave a pleasing program in
her honor. She received a number of cablegrams of congratulation, one of
them from Gorham D. Oilman, another from her granddaughter, and another
from Mrs. C. M. Cooke who was on the Coast at the time.
The Hawaiian Board presented a congratulatory address, To the Be
loved Sister-elect, Mary Elizabeth Parker, on the One Hundredth Anniversary
of Her Birthday.' The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society presented an
illustrated and illuminated address. The text was by Dr. S. E. Bishop,, the
illustrations bv D. Howard Hitchcock, and the illumination by Loo Tai Sing.
Among the visitors on that day were George R. Carter Jr., then four
weeks old, who was brought by his father the then Governor; Queen Liliuoka-
lani, Mother Castle who died about a year ago, then in her 86th year; N. W.
Potwine who was born in East Windsor, Connecticut, in 1825 and knew many
of Mother Parker's relatives there; Dr. W. D. Alexander, Dr. Sereno E.
Bishop, F. A. Schaefer, A. S. Cleghorn, and very many others representing
practically all the old families whether missionary families or not, besides many
of later arrival in the islands.
Mother Parker's birthday last year was celebrated but more quietly, many
friends, however, calling to pay their respects.

President Pinkham Returns
From a Visit of
Research.
L. E. Pinkham, president of the
Board of Health, returned by the Ki-
nau from his trip to Hawaii where he
went to look over possible sites for the
location of a Home for Boys, of lep
rous parents, for which an appropria
tion was made by the last Legislature.
(Regarding his trip he said:
"'The definite object of my visit is
still undecided and cannot be determin
ed on for at least ten days. I person
ally inspected all the possible locations
for the proposed Boys' Horn and cov
ered nearly all the area of the Waimea
plains, in an endeavor to ascertain the
suitability of the land for the purposes
of a Home.
"I made a careful investigation of
the opportunities that might be avail
able for the employment of those who
might wish to take up agricultural
pursuits. My investigations covered
farming as carried on In the district
of Waimea. I also included in my In
vestigations the upper lands on the
slopes of Mauna Kea, noting particu-.
larly the- experiments at Kal Waikii,
in Waikoloa, the private property of
the Parker Ttanch and also certain
lands adjacent, In upper Pauhau, be
longing to the same owners.
"At Waikii quite extensive operations
have been carried on this year. Agri
culture, both In this district and in
Waimea is still a contest with the po
ko or cutworm. At Waikii there was
a field in which the extermination had
been successful and on which had been
grown a magnificent crop of corn, sam
ples of which I brought back with m
to Honolulu. The yield promises to b?
far above the average corn yield per
acre in the United States proper.
"Another field showed evidences of
considerable damage by cutworms. Ad
jacent to the latter field was a very
abundant crop of pumpkins and 1
squash, which could hardly be excelled
anywhere. There have been some at-.
tempts of a promising nature towards
the setting out of orchards and grap-j'
vines.
1 The soil in this vicinity Is very rich
and finely subdivided and ia very easi
ly cultivated. It is adapted to the use
of the latest and most improved agri
cultural machinery. The manager of
the Parker Ranch. Mr. A, W. Carter,
has ordered a complete outfit of such
machinery and . purposes next season
to plant approximately 300 acres of
corn. This it appears to me Is one of
the most Important agricultural efforts
undertaken in the country, not that Us
money value per acre will be cor
respondingly great to some of our trop
ical products but it will demonstrate
whether the Territory can raise cer
tain cereals which enter largely into
human consumption, and thus In some
degree render the Territory independ
ent in food supply.
"In the United States In 1906. th?
corn crop averaged thirty-five busheli
for each inhabitant. To what extent
these upper lands on the Island of Ha
waii can be thus utilized can only be
ascertained by persistent experiment,
as the rainfall varies within such short :
distances that experimental cultivation
only can define the limits. One thing,
however, is clearly obvious and that H
that farming Industry of this character
can never be prosecuted successfully
till the homesteads are granted In cor
responding areas to those common In
the United States proper. Only on
uch areas can the mst economical
