Nellist CHARLES FREDERICK CHILLINGWORTH, Lawyer and Legislator. Charles F. Chillingworth, president of the territorial Senate at every session from 1915 to 1922, inclusive, has been engaged in the practice of law and public service in Hawaii since 1897. He has been prominent in the Republican party and in 1921 was a member of the Emergency Labor Commission, sent to Washington, D.C., to obtain congressional action upon a bill designed to relieve the labor shortage in Hawaii. The members of this commission, Mr. Chillingworth, Walter F. Dillingham and Albert Horner, were successful in their efforts to have the bill favorably reported out of both congressional committees, and, although it was not passed by Congress, the consideration given it aided in settling the labor difficulties then annoying the Territory. Mr. Chillingworth began the study of law in the office of his father, Samuel F. Chillingworth, on the island of Maui in 1892, and in 1897 was admitted to the bar. He was deputy marshal, Republic of Hawaii, in Honolulu in 1896, and in 1904 became deputy high sheriff of the Territory. In 1906 he was elected to the senate from Oahu, and continued as a member of the upper house until 1922. In 1924 he was again elected a senator from Oahu. Keenly interested in sports, Mr. Chillingworth for several years was president of the Hawaiian Baseball League. He is a Scottish Rite Mason and a member of the Hawaiian Civic and Commercial Clubs, Hawaiian Historical Society and Native Sons of Hawaii. Born on the island of Hawaii, Feb. 17, 1877, Mr. Chillingworth is the son of Samuel F. and Elizabeth (Lindsay) Chillingworth. He attended Miss Green’s private school on Maui, and Punahou, Honolulu. In 1898 he married Victoria Stratemeyer of Honolulu, and they have two children, Mrs. Edward Burke Peterson, wife of a naval officer, and Charles F.
