KIDWELL'S TITLE IS
MADE CLEAR
BY COURT
DECREE BY JUDGE ROBINSON IN
METCALF CASE-GEORGE MARK
HAM ANSWERS A sUIT-wANTs
TRIAL BY JURY.

Judge Robinson has filed u decree
in the suit of Frank Godfrey as trustee
for Thomas MetCalf, VS.. John Sidwell
After reciting the facts found II is
decreed THAT the conveyance made v
Thomas Metcalf on April 14th, 1893 70
John Kidwell (while Thomas Metcalf
was a minor and the co11:matory
conveyance made by Thomas Metcdlf
on February 4th 1901 to John .ldwrll
(after Thomas Metcalf became Of age)
were each and both INTENDED by beta
Thomas Metcalf and John Eidwell to
convey and each and both dill convey
to John Kidwell no other or greater in
terest than an undivided one-haif OF
that certain tract of land situate in
Manoa, Honolulu, Island of Oahu, con-
tanning an area of 3610 acres and
known as "Wailele" and that the fee
of the other undivided one-hA,f thereof
is as against said John Kidwell. vested
in Frank Godfrey as trustee for Thomas
Metcalf."
This suit and the decree arose out of
the definition given by Hawaiian law
to the term lawfully begotten chill
dren." In 1866 Theophilus Metcalf by
his will gave the property in question to
his son Frank for life, remainder to his
lawfully begotten children" Frank
Metcalf died leaving two children EN-
ma anu lHOllldS. Iney supposed tneS
were equally the heirs to this property
and Thomas conveyed his interest to
Kidwell thinking it was a half interest
only. But the Supreme court in d
case before it decided that Emma was
not lawfully begotten while Thomas
was and therefore entitled to the whole
of the property, but that his conveyance
to Kidwell by the terms used conveyed
it all to Kidwell. Thus suit was brought
to reform the conveyances so that Kid
well would only get half the property.
In the suit of ]. f. Hackfeld VS.. p
E. r. Strauch and others, George
Markham, one of the defendants has
filed his answer in which he denies
that plaintiff or any other person ex-
cept himself was seized in fee simple
of the land in dispute, Apana 3, Kule-
ana 1911, at the time to which the suit
relates. He asserts that in 1900 Joseph
p. Mendonca, one of the defendants,
brought action against Markham for
possession of this property, to which
action Markham set up the defense of
adverse possession, and that this ac-
ton is still pending in the Circuit
Court. Therefore if Markham is OBJ
liged to submit to a decree in this case
he will be debarred from his right to a
trial by jury as to his title to the prop
erty, and therefore he asks that the
plaintiff be restrained from further
prosecuting this suit until the other is
determined.

And she said; 81 will see IL my

intellectual woman. she enjoyed keen
" the social interests Of club life, and
was an enthusiastic member Of the
Daughters Of the American Revolu-
tion. When Its regent here she came
in touch with public life, meeting the
demands ably but ever in gentle,
transformations way, and 1t can be
said that no society reporter ever
dreaded to make demand upon her
time. Her telephone was rung by
them knowing that they would be met
with the kindliest interest, and the
pleasant word that made them feel
not a mere disturber Of the public
peace" Cordial, courteous, thought
full and helpful to all with whom she
came in contact, her going from us
leaves a void in Paducah's social life
at many points, but we are the better
for her gracious presence among us.

THE WEEKLY

The Glendale Record opposes the
using of a part of the new Industrial
school building for a dormitory on the
ground that it causes competition with
local boarding and lodging houses.
This is the wrong view to take of a
public educational institution. EXper-
fence has demonstrated that the dormi-
tory SYSTEMATICALLY a closer surveil-
lance is maintained over the students
than otherwise could exists very de-
sirable and many institutions in the
east require the dormitory system ex-

JAMESTOWN WILL BECOME

The purchase of the old varlet!

When it was first opened there was
a grand time and nearly all OF James

Alert show. but frequently thereafter.
"High Jinks'' were cut at the Ola

what a food of r]ecollections they would
bring to many prominent men o

in the state.
During and after the performances
in those boom days, the boys laid thelr
offerings on the sh1ines Of Momus and
Bacchus in liberal amounts. There
were headaches after the show and
some h]eartaches, for, mingled with the
comedy of the stage and the jest OF the
spectators was often the deep tragedy
of a life. The interior of the building
was provided with two bars, one up
stairs and one below, and was filled IN
addition with tobacco smoke, hot air
and western sociality. It never was
a Sunday school place, yet there was
not an i%nfrequent benefit for religious
and charity purposes.
1t is reflection of more than passing
moment that the old house OF pleasure

for the moral and material advance

change from ~frivolity to piety. from

from comedians jokes to sermons ant

the transformation. however, there
may be mingled a tinge of fond regret
with some patrons of the old play house
