HOWARD HATHAWAY, Lawyer. Descendant of an old Virginia family, prominent for 
generations in law, letters and the political affairs of the state, Colonel 
Howard Hathaway was known professionally and politically in his native state 
and Washington before being sent to Hawaii in 1917 by the late President 
Woodrow Wilson to assume the treble responsibility of collector of internal 
revenue, prohibition director and narcotics director.
  He also acted as special and secret agent for the Department of Justice in 
the investigation of I. W. W. activities. For this particular task he was 
especially well fitted, having played an important part in the settling of 
I.W.W. disturbances in Washington during the early days of America’s 
participation in the World War. Until peace was declared, Colonel Hathaway 
held his official positions, retiring to private law practice in Honolulu in 
1921.
  He lived in the state of Washington from 1901 to 1917, practicing in 
Everett, was a delegate to two national conventions from Washington, was once 
nominated as congressman-at-large by the Democratic party, and held a 
commission upon the governor’s staff. Both in Washington and Hawaii he has 
been in demand as an orator.
  Before removing to Washington, Col. Hathaway was educated in his native 
Virginia, was admitted to the bar in 1885, and established a private law 
practice at White Stone, Va., where he lived upon the old family plantation. 
He was a state senator, representing Richmond and Lancaster counties, for a 
number of years.
  Born in White Stone, Oct. 27, 1864, Colonel Hathaway is the son of Henry S. 
Hathaway, for years a presiding justice in the old justice court of Virginia, 
and Felicia (Dunaway) Hathaway. His ancestors participated in the American 
Revolution and for several generations were owners of extensive plantation and 
slave holdings.
  In 1891 he married Jessie Wilhelm Hubbard of Virginia and they had one son, 
Howard Hathaway, Jr., now practicing law in White Stone. The first Mrs. 
Hathaway died in 1900, and in 1922 Colonel Hathaway married Minnie Rudebeck of 
Washington.
