the removal of A. w. Carter as guard
ian of the minor, being about 172S
acres in Hamakua. 1t is set forth
that 1900 acres of it are suitable for cane
cultivation and that the Paauhau
Plantation Co., is willing to buy it at a
price greater than it's actual value,
partly because of it's adaptability to
cane and partly because the company
Is DESTROYS of having the Hamakua
ditch constructed and would encourage
that enterprise by granting a right OF
way over the land II 1t owned 1t.
A. w. Carter, guardian of the minors
property, 1t is alleged, refuses to en-
terrain any proposition for granting
the right of way and refuses to sell the
land for $4,000, the amount the Pa
auhau Plantation Co. is ready to offer
as an upset price for 1t. AS stated in
the other suit previously reported, the
petitioner says that the proceeds of
such a sale could be invested to yield
an income of s6240 per annum to the
minor, and that there is great danger
that II the land be not sold at this time

the expiration of the lease seven years
hence.
Judge Gear grants the petition to the
extent of appointing Low as guardian

pearance of the parties in interest on
June 30 to show cause, if any they
have. why such license of sale should
not be granted.

of friends. The circumstances sur
rounding the death We're saddened by
the absence of Mrs. Smith and her
family, girl of 16 and boy some three
years younger. Mrs. Smith had at
tempted to reach her husband but was
deferred from fear of passing him en-
route as he was improving and eX-
pected to leave for the Coast on the
Alameda. Death came unexpectedly in
the shape of heart collapse after the
patient had been placed on a full
dietary after a five weeks siege of
chronic malarial typhoid.
Mr. Smith opened the Moana Hotel
as it's manager but was more widely
1 known to the many friends his cour-
tesy won him by his long connection
with the old Occidental Hotel in San
| Francisco, the renCeZvous of travelling
| Hawaiians. There are few army and
navy men of the Pacific arms of the
| services who did not know and like the
deceased.
In compliance with a message sent by
Col. Macfarlane to Mr.. Il. NJ. Smith S
widow stating that his physician, DR..
| Taylor, had recommended cremation,
the reply came last evening which gave
her consent, asking that the ashes be
| forwarded by the Alameda leaving here
| next Wednesday, The body VIII be Gre
mated this morning and announcement
Is now made that the funeral services
| over the ashes of the deceased will
| take place at St. Andrews Cathedral
| this (Friday) afternoon at 4 o'clock
| Bishop Restarick having kindly volun-
| teered to arrange the services for the
occasion. An opportunity viii thus be
granted his many Honolulu friends and
acquaintance of paying their respects
| to the memory of the man who was
! heartily appreciated for his many vlr-
| tues and who deplore his loss.
| Mrs. Smith, even had she started
could not have arrived before the Ala
media and thus has been mercifully
| spared much OF the necessarily har-
rowing details surrounding his death
and funeral. Mr.. Smith was man OF
apparently between 45 and so years OF
| age. The funeral proceedings have
| been taken charge of by Col. George
| w. Macfarlane of the Royal Hawaiian
| and II. Wingate Lake of the Alexan-
| der Young hotels.

An Arab holiday wagon from Con-

the more noticeable and showing the
wonderful improvements in transpor-
