he MAY CONTEST
GALBRAIqH Will
NEPHEW ERRATIC WEALTHY OCTOGENARIAN MAY
TAKE ACTION LAST TESTAMENT.
ESTATE WHICH LEFT PRINCIPALLY TO FRIENDS OF
IRELAND
LONG AGO IN IRELAND.

Rumor was busy in and about the
Judiciary Building this morning over
the estate of the late George Galbraith,
the aged Irishman who died in the
Queens Hospital several weeks ago,
and while nothing definite has been
done in the matter, there seems at least
strong probability that an effort will be
made to break the will.
Galbraith was a familiar figure on
the streets of Honolulu and no strang-
er who saw him would have guessed
that he was worth well on to a quar-
ter of a million dollars. Such how
ever was the case, as the filing of his
will by Cecil Brown a few days after
the death of the old man conclusively
showed.
Much of the estate is in lands at Wa
hiawa, the value of which is constantly
rising, and on Monday when the pro-
bate proceedings We're called in Judge
Robinson's court Cecil Brown stated
that he had upwards of $130OOO in
bonds belonging to the estate.
When Galbraith's will was filed it
aroused considerable curiosity for the
old man had apparently allowed his

TO EXTEND FORT STREET
UP PAUOA VALLEY
w. BOOTH OFFERS THE NECESSARY RIGHT
OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR THE EXTENSION FORT
STREET FROM PRESENT TERMINAL TO JUNCTION WITH
THE GOVERNMENT

Charles w. Booth has made an offer
to the Territorial government to give
right of way for the extension of Fort
street from it's present terminus at
Pauoa Valley until it intersects with
the government road now running up
the valley not far from the Booth resi-
dence.
In additionsfi he offers the right of
way for an extension of Punchbowl
street from a point near the bridge
across the Pauoa stream, up the Wal
kiki side of the valley until it inter-
sects the present government road
higher up the valley.
All the necessary land and the right
of way for these street extensions is
offered if the government will improve
the streets along the rights of way thus
given.
Fort street which was formerly open
to School street, has lately been open
ed up across Kuakini street to Pauoa
road not far from the power house of
the Pacific Heights electric road. The

mind to wander back to the days OF
his youth in Ireland and had left diff
ferent sums, large and small to distant
relatives of whose present existence he
could hardly have been aware. His
only relatives in Hawaii, so far as is
known are a nephew named Hugo Gal
braith, rancher at Wahiawa, and this
nephew's children. Hugo Galbraith was
remembered i'm the will, but that was
about all, a small annuity being direct
ed paid him. Each OF the children was
also left small sum. Several Homo
lulu people We're made legatees for diff
ferent amounts, but the bulk of the es-
tate went to people living in Belfast or
in different places in County Galway,
Ireland, the names of which all seemed
to begin with "Bally."
The Irish heirs had not been heard
from when the case was called by
Judge Robinson, so a stay of proceed
ings was given for ninety days. Mean
while current rumOr has it that the
Wahiawa nephew will make a deter
mined attempt to break the will. The
ground on which it may be contested
has not yet been made public.

At the meeting of the Board of
Health this afternoon the following
communication from President Pink
ham was read:
Although important matters are be-
fore you 1 shall claim a few moments
of your time.
The Hawaiian Islands are absolutely
without any indigenous building ma
terial, except coral rock, now discarded,
and volcanic rock. The latter is ex-
pensive and porus and needs backing
to keep the moisture from penetrating
clear through the wall in places. For
several years a certain gentleman and
myself have sought some material
found on the Hawaiian Islands from
which a good reliable building material
could be made i'm Hawaii by white
skilled and unskilled labor resident in
the Territory. The manufacture of
brick had failed both in quality and
commercially. My attention was call
ed to "Sand Brick extensively used in
Germany America and elsewhere.
Samples of Hawaiian sand were sent to
the manufactures of the machinery for
making sand brick: and tested by the
manufacture of this Hawaiian material
into sand bricks. Sand bricks are
formed under pressure, then run into a
receptacle where a high steam pres
sure works on the sand which has two
to three per sent of lime mixed with it.
The lime acts as a binder Tests proved
Hawaiian sand itself has about 62 per
cent of lime which killed it for sand
brick. Hawaiian rock said was also
tested and found impractical. The
cost of a sand brick plant would be
100000 and upward.
My attention was called over eighteen
months ago to concrete blocks. In
connection with other gentlemen we
made tests on hand machines, of which
there are numerous examples i'm use.
Our opinion was a better and more
scientific and economical method was
desirable, as well as a better block
Having some mechanical ingenuity
undertook to solve the problem.
DR.. Cooper and F. c. Smith being
friends of mine, were asked to observe
what 1 was attempting. Full size
blocks were made under pressure OF
400 pounds per square inch, the hy-
draulic pressure being applied by hand
in thirty seconds. The filling with
concrete and removal of the form took
by far too much time. There has
always been kick in this world be-
cause there has been, is and will be
advances on plain stupid "Jackass'
power and methods. The Honolulu
Iron Works or any advanced mechani-
cal establishment do not make a sam
pie mill or machine before they receive
an order for it. They take well es-
tablished mechanical principles, well
tested, and combine and apply them.
They are absolutely sure of results as
if the machine was in operation. The
design of the machine and samples OF
blocks were submitted to two compe-

grading and macadamizing of this new
portion is now about completed. What
Mr.. Booth proposes is to give the neces-
sary land to the government for the ex-
tension of the road, making a road of
regulation width up the valley where
there is now only narrow and crooked
government road.
The extension of Punchbowl street
along the Waikiki side of the valley
will carry it along the ridge that leads
up to Tantalus, but will still be i'm the
valley.
Pauoa valley in ancient times con-
tanned the residences of some of the
most powerful of the Hawaiian chiefs.
1t is a well watered valley and some
of the irrigation bitches now in use
have been carrying water from time
immemorial. The Booth residence was
framed in New England and brought
around the Horn over seventy years
ago. The opening and improvement of
Fort street to it's present terminus is
expected to greatly improve that part
of the town.

TO HANDLE FUNDS
Democrats Said to Have Chosen Judge
Foster Peabody, Of Brooklyn, to be
Treasurer Of the Democratic National

ker an unbroken morning in which TO
work on his speech of acceptance to be

NAL notification on Wednesday of next
week. The rumor that judge Foster
Peabody of Brooklyn would be treas
urer of the national committee WAS
the only important political topic at
tracing much attention here today.
Parker refused to comment in any way
upon the report, but 1t is believed to
be well founded and unless some inn
portant change in the situation is made
necessary by later developments the
selection of Peabody as treasurer will
be announced within twenty four
hours.
1t is known that during a three
hours conference between Parker and
Peabody last Saturday practically ev-
cry important aspect of the democratic
situation was discussed. II is still be :
lieved here that William r. Sheehan
will be chairman of the executive COM
mittee and that the finance committee
will be amalgamated herewith.

report that he had accepted the invita-
tion of Norman f. Mack to be with
Mrs. Parker, his guest at the st. Louis
exposition on New York state day,

to believe he might make such trip
