Boswell, H. James. American Blue Book Western Washington. Seattle, Lowman and
Hanford Co., 1922. p. 38.

JAMES H. KANE, of Seattle, is a lawyer who has attained success as a result of
his own efforts.  Mr. Kane is a native of Wisconsin, and was born in 1889.  It
was in 1902 that he graduated from the University of Minnesota with the LL. B.
degree, and the year following located in Seattle, since which time his rise
in his profession has been rapid, indeed.  He is a member of the firm of
Farrell, Kane & Stratton, one of the best known combinations of legal talent
in the country, and one whose clientele is large and representative.  Mr. Kane
has taken part in many important matters to come vefore the courts, and almost
invarably with success, appearing as counsel for tsome of the largest
corporations on the Pacific coast, and also as attorney for the Catholic
Bishop of the Seattle diocese.  For years he has been an active member of the
Knights of Columbus, and now holds the highest office of that organization in
this district, namely State Deputy.  Mr. Kane takes an active part in the
deliberations of the bar association and is one of its most popular members.
His methods of handling matters in court are thorough and bear good results.
His arguments are usually brief, but to the point and in strict conformity
with the law covering the case in hand.  When the occasion warrants taking a
matter into the courts, it would be difficult to find a more persistent
fighter for a client's rights than Mr. Kane.  The high standard which he set
for himself in early life has won for him the respect and esteem of bench and
bar, alike.
