SENSATIONAL DIVULGENCE
IN PARKER RANCH CASE
Fred Wundenberg, Sam Parkers Trustee, Admits
the Suit Is Now Being Prosecuted to Vindi-
cate Magoon, the Lows and Himself

was necessary to carry on the suit
to yindicate those charges
And Jack Low said he could not
stand the expense?''
He said that he could not stand
the expense and Sam Parker had said
that he did not want to be burdened
with any further expenses
And thereupon you said that it
would have to be borne. that you
would see to these expenses
Yes, words to that effect
Then as matter of fact this suit
is merely progressing so far as you
and Magoon are concerned to vindi-
cate yourselves personally from those
accusations made by Mrs. Knight?''
SO far as I am concerned that is
ALL
It further appeared that Magoon and
Eben Low We're the parties who now
had the say as to what charges should
be made and what witnesses called
Eben Low was on Hawaii when Sam
Parker said he wouldn't and Jack Low
said he couldn't, but the witness
thought he understood that further ex-
pense was up to him, Magoon, and the
witness.
AS far as the next friend was con-
cerned, the witness never knew of his
putting up or promising to do SO from
start TO finish.
Well, your understanding of it was
that Sam Paker and Sam Parker alone
put UP for the expenses of the suit,
fees and costs, UP to a certain point
where he refused to go on?' Kinney
asked.
THAT was my understanding of it,
"And later you have taken it up in
view of the charges made against you
with Low and Magoon?"
'eThat is my understanding of it,
"And neither at the initial stage nor
any later stage of these proceedings
was Low to put up anything-Jack
Low?'
well. the idea was that all who
We're included in that conspiracy
charge was to contribute what they
could"
"To carry on the case solely to vim
dictate their own characters"
THAT was my understanding of it,
Tt was at this point that Kinney
made the suggestion that the court
take immediate and summary action
against the next FRIEND but the court
seemed disinclined to act on the testi-
mony of one witness. Then Kinney
made a motion that the investigation
of J. S. Lows motives be given pre-
cedence, but the court ruled that he
should continue with the cross-examin-
alton of Wundenberg
The afternoon brought forth one more
Of the numerous letters from Wunden-
berg to Aubrey.
The witness denied that any results
except the most peaceable had been
expected from his sending Eben Low
up to demand possession of the Ranch,
but upon being shown letter where
in he expected trouble changed his
mind, and admitted that his orders
were 'tto go up and take possession"
When Low telegraphed back that Car
ter was holding the fort, the next move
was to try to tie Carriers hands with
a temporary injunction. and Kinney
brought out that two days after Ma
COON had started to act as attorney
for the minor, he was seeking to Gust
Carter by bill for an injunction in
which he suppressed the fact that
Carter was guardian of the minor, but
represented him as discharged en-
ploye of Sam Parker's.

ALICE'S PRESENTS
ARE PRINCELY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-Wonder-
full stories are current here of the
splendid presents which have been
made to Miss Alice Roosevelt during
her trip to the Far East. Everywhere
she has been the guest of rulers and
potentates. These latter have wed
with each other in showing honor to
the daughter of the President of the
United States, by the presentation of
splendid jewels or rare articles of art
Many of these, especially the beau
tiful jade ornaments presented by the
Dowager Empress of China and the
splendid specimens of Japanese art
given by the Mikado, are beyond price.
Such things are reserved for Chinese
and Japanese royalty and are not on
the market.
Including the great pearl presented
to Miss Roosevelt by the Sultan of Jolo,
who, being the master of the finest
pearl fisheries in the world, has the
most magnificent collection of these
jewels, it is figured that the gifts to
Miss Roosevelt will run in value into
the hundreds of thousands.

Consumption

The only kind of consump-
ton to fear is neglected
consumption"
People are learning that con-
sumption is a durable disease.
1t is neglected consumption
that is SO often incurabIe.
At the faintest suspicion of
consumption get a bottle of
SCOTS Emulsion and begin
regular doses.
The use of SCOTS Emulsion
at once, has, in thousands of
cases, turned the balance in
favor of health.
Neglected consumption does
not exist where SCOTS Emul-
sion is.
Prompt use of SCOTS Emul-
sion checks the disease while it
can be checked.

AN ESCHEAT
PROCEEDING
Territory Lays Claim
to Property in
Dispute.

A rare case is pending in the First
Circuit Court, being an information
for decree of escheat" brought by the
Territory of Hawaii against Irene B.
CornweIl and John f. Colburn.
The property sought to be escheated
is known as lot 157, situate at Kula-
okahua, Honolulu, lying on the makai
side of Kinau, between Victoria and
Pensacola streets, and containing an
area of $4,000 square feet
1t is alleged that John F. Colburn is
in possession of the premises, that
Irene B. CornweH claims to be in pos
session thereof through John F. Col
burn as her tenant and that Colburn
claims to be in possession thereof ad-
versely to Irene B. Cornwell.
It is further alleged that the SAID
lot is part of a grant made by HIS
Majesty Kamehameha to one Edmund
Smith, evidenced by royal patent is
sued to said Smith on August IA, 1885,
At and subsequent to that date, the
Attorney General is Informed and be-
lieves, Edmund Smith was a resident
of Honolulu, but in or about the year
1851 he departed from the Hawaiian
kingdom and has never since return
ed thereto, nor to any part of the
country now embraced within the Ter
ritory of Hawaii He has not been
heard of during the space of fifty years
or whereabouts, and has neither in per-
son nor through tenant occupying
the premises under any lease had pos
session thereof during said period Of
fifty years. There has been nothing
done In that time by way of probate
proceedings relative to Smiths estate
here. No person claiming to be kin
to Edmund Smith has made claim to
the property since his departure about
the year 1851.
BY reason of all the foregoing al
legations of fact it is claimed that
the property has escheated to the Ter
ritory Of Hawaii. Wherefore the Ter
ritory by Lorrin Andrews, Attorney
General, prays that summons may be
issued to the defendants named and
that, upon hearing, decree may be
made declaring that the property has
escheated to the Territory of Hawaii
c. w. Ashford is attorney for plaintiff,
