Reports of causes determined in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii: Vol. 1–4, Honolulu, Hawaiian Gazette Co., and, for Vol. IV, New Freedom Press, 1903–1918. (The Annexation Resolution, which brought the Republic of Hawaii into the American Union was signed by President McKinley on July 7, 1898. The Organic Act, the congressional act providing for a government for the Territory of Hawaii, took effect on June 14, 1900. That act provided for both a territorial Supreme Court and a federal District Court, with appeals from the latter going to the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco. The act authorized the appointment of one U.S. district judge, with the first incumbent being Morris M. Estee, followed from 1903 to 1915 by Sanford B. Dole, former president of the Republic of Hawaii. Cases in this series date from Aug. 19, 1900 to Dec. 30, 1916. Vol. IV, published in 1918, also contains as pp. 793–875 “Rules of the United States District Court for the Territory of Hawaii, adopted as compiled January 31, 1918.…” Subsequent cases of the U.S. District Court for Hawaii are reported in the West Publ. Co. Federal Reporter.)
