L. J. WARREN, Lawyer. Having entered the University of California to begin the 
study of law, Mr. Warren was obliged to forsake a college course and combine 
work with legal training and study in the office of Mr. Edward J. Pringle, a 
prominent and pioneer attorney of California, who later became a Commissioner 
of the State Supreme Court. In June, 1900, he passed the State bar examination 
before the Supreme Court, and on June 14 of that year was admitted to 
practice, shortly before his own college class. He came to Honolulu in 
October, 1900, and became associated with William O. Smith, noted kamaaina 
lawyer of Hawaii, an association which has ever since continued. Other 
partners have been admitted to the firm, now known as Smith, Warren, Stanley & 
Vitousek, and one of the most prominent in the Territory. His preference, in 
practise, is along lines of corporation law and admiralty.
  Without at any time seeking or accepting public office, Mr. Warren has been 
active in public service for many years. To his interest, advocacy and 
support, the Territory owes a number of constructive laws, among many others 
those dealing with the insane, the liquor problem when that was a live 
legislative issue, and street improvements.
  Since 1910 Mr. Warren has served as chairman of the Territorial Board of 
Insanity Commissioners. He was chairman of the first Carnival Finance 
Committee which organized the “Mid-Pacific Carnival, Ltd.,” in Feb., 1914.
  He is at present a director of the Oahu Country Club, a member of the 
Chamber of Commerce, the Hawaiian Sugar Planters’ Association and the Bar 
Association of Hawaii.
  A descendant of old Revolutionary and pioneer American stock, Mr. Warren was 
born in San Francisco, June 9, 1877, the son of John B. and Caroline M. 
(Schafer) Warren. His early education was received in the public schools of 
Oakland and Berkeley. He married Elizabeth E. Parrish of Philadelphia, Aug. 4, 
1902, and they had one daughter, Winifred Louise Warren, now a student at 
Wellesley College. Mrs. Warren died in 1907 and in 1909 Mr. Warren married 
Sara B. Eynon in Philadelphia.
