TITLE REFUSED
BISHOP ESTATE
APPLICATION FOR $40 ACRES OF
KOHALA LAND is TURNED
DOWN.

Land Commissioner Pratt has re-
ceived an opinion from the attorney
general adverse to a petition from the
Bishop Estate for a title to about $40
acres of land in KOhala, and the APP
plication will be refused by Pratt in
accordance with the opinion The
facts in the case are very complicated
and grew out of an agreement dated
as far back as 1851, when an exchange
was agreed upon by which title was
to have passed from the government to
the parties from whom the claim is now
traced The deeds, however, were
never made.
The land claimed is known as Upolus
1 and =, and became government land
in 1S4S, the time of the great mahele"
In 1851 by an agreement of the Privy
Council, it was agreed to deed the land
in exchange for Kona lands, to the
Bishop estate but the deeds were never
executed, and it appears that the gov
eminent never got it's land The Bishop
estate, however is occupying the Ko-
hala land and claims title under the
Privy Council resolution of 1851.
The opinion of the attorney generals
department, by E. c. Peters, states
that the application for a title should
be denied.

THREE GAMES OF
CHE IA RUNNING
CRAWFORD SAYS ARRESTS HAVE
TON OF EXPERTS.

There are three che ia games run
ming in Honolulu according to Willie
Crawford, and not eleven, as published.
Crawford says there never were eleven.
The runners are under arrest with
two charges pending against each of
them, but the games do not stop.
up to a short time ago there were
four games" said Crawford. The man
who was running one of them was
found guilty and fined $3.50 and he
closed up, taking an appeal from the
sentence. The runners of the other
three games were arrested and released
on bail and at once resumed the games.
The trials have been delayed mean
while by the impossibiity of getting
cash from the County treasury for wit
ness fees, l refused to testify as eX-
pert without a fee"
The cases have been postponed from
da- to day and yesterday H. T. Lake,
former Hilo police captain, was secured
as expert on che ia. The court re-
fused to allow officer Apana to testify
as expert and the prosecution was up
against it, with c. f. Chillingworth,
who might have been an expert wit
ness, acting as counsel for the defend
ants.
