QUEEN’S WILL STAND
v . THROUGH‘FOUR' SIHTS
Honolulu, Jane 9 ^—Litigation
over the will of the late Queen Lil
oukelani, last ijeigninr jmoimrch
in Hawaii which has occupied the
courts hen since her death in 1917
has been terminated with the with
drawing of the suit filed by Mrs.
Kahakauilakeliimoewaiowai a u H a
(correct) Keawe Nswihie to break
the testament. The 30-letter name
means ‘‘Thundering Chiefess of the
Sleeping Waters.” '
Mrs.' iNawahle’s action ufIs the
fourth that ha deen brought in an
effort to overturn the will. She ’con
tended. that she was the .next of
kin to the former queen.
The first suit was filed by the late
Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianole,
former delegate to Congress, and
was settled by compomlae.
The second suit filed by Mrs. Em
ma K. De Fries, was Qmlssed.
Ttts third action, bsaad An a will
which named the ‘‘Princess Theresa
Owanq Wilcox' Belliveau Kelley and
two other persons as beneficiaries,
also was dismissed by the territor
ial supreme court,
This suit was a sensational after
math. A Hawaiian minister,‘ who
testified that he had witnessed the
Agnature of the late queen to the
document; 'told bis attorney later
that he had had a vision or rdream
and Confessed that the will was a
fraud, on the part of ‘‘Princess
Thereto." As the result she was con
victed of fogery and wN* sentenced
to three years imprisonment, She
was released recently St the con
clusion o hsr term. —.
Mrs. Nswhaie’s contest was dis
missed soine time ago on the ground
that he had fuQod to prove her con
tention that ehe was related to the
queen. 8he appealed to a Jury but
after long court - deisms withdrew

TOWN BUILDING PLANS

thing mooting popular Favor
The town Board met in regular
session, Thursday night and disposed
of much business pertaining to the
Townes interest. Many topics were
discussed which, if put into' effect,
will lead to the improvement of the
.town. The main topic discussed, was
the plans for the erection oft the
New Municipal Building, wllich the
'Board'is trying to make possible;
and which' the town is greatly inter
ested, because it will mean go much

Mr. James Hopper, the architect,
presented figures, to .the Board giv
ing estimates of the approximate1
were more than the Board estimated
cost of the building. The figures
Mr. Hopper’s plan is to have an au
ditorium, in ocnnection with the
Municipal Building, which will fur
nish ample space for the public use
and entertainment. This would be a
great thing for the town. Let’s all
work, with the idea in view'sjf hav
ing this building with the auditori
um added to it. Such a building would
be a credit to the town to have the
benefit of good, wholesome, high
class entertainment, an auditorium
such as Mr. Hopper designed, must
first be supplied. It was thoroughly
demonstrated last Tuesday evening
at High School Graduating Exercises
that Leaksville did not have ample
auditorium space to comfortably
seat the public. The congestion in
case of fire or accident, no doubt,
would have proven serious.
