HONOUR PAID TO JUDGE
SAMOAN OFFICIALS APPRECIATION MR. J. H. LUXFORD ENDING TERM. By Telegraph—Press Association. Wellington, Sept. 8. The Samoan correspondent of the Press Association states that the Chief Judge of Western Samoa, Mr. J. H. Luxford, whose term of office in Western Samoa terminates in September, when he and Mrs. Luxford return to New Zealand, was the guest of native officials of the territory and a large gathering of natives at Mulinuu. The function was attended by the Administrator, BrigadierGeneral H. E. Hart, the heads of departments and officials, the Chief Judge being brought into close touch with the Samoans during his five years’ residence in Samoa. The proceedings comprised first a fono, at which speeches were made by the Administrator and the Hon. Mataafa and then a feast provided by the native hosts, with sivas and songs following. The tribute had been arranged spontaneously by the native officials and was carried out with an earnestness which showed the esteem in which they held the guest of honour.
