A BISHOP ESTATE SUIT WAS AN OBJECT LESSON
LITIGATION IN THE
CIRCUIT COURT.
To Add Two Members to the Board of
Trustees-Arranging to Establish

A long bill for the reformation of
trust was filed in the matter of the
Bishop estate this afternoon. The
case is entitled S. NJ. Damon, Charles
NJ Hyde, Charles NJ. Cooke and Joseph
o. Carter of the trustees under the
will of the late Bernice Pauahi Bishop
VS.. Charles r.. bishop and w. o. Smith,
attorney general
The object of the bill is to have ere
ated new board of trustees to con-
sist of Seven persons, of whom the
present trustees shall be five, and to
have conveyed to them all the prop
erty now known as Bishops Museum,
the trust land at Waipio, Hawaii, and
the trust sum of $4,000, the interest
from both sources now accruing to the
Bishop museum.
The purpose of the transfer will be
to bring about the establishment of
an aquarium and biological school
museum, in connection with that in
stitution. Defendant Charles r. Bis
hop has consented to this plan, in
fact is the promoter of it, but legal
transfer of the trusts is requisite be-
fore anything can be done. 1t has been
discovered that under the will of Ber-
nice p. Bishop the museum cannot be
operated by the board of trustees ap-
pointed by her will. 1t is therefore
necessary to create a new board. The
aquarium will, in a way, be separate
from the museum.
