such a filed document as the public or
press had a right to see. The record,
however, shows the appointment by
him of a temporary Administrative of
the estate, he having signed an order
appointing Mrs. Virginia Isenberg in
such capacity. The order sets forth
that it appearing to be for the best in
terests of the estate that a temporary
Administrative be appointed, the court
therefore appoints Mrs. Isenberg. She
has full power under the "wlP' to act
in the matter of the insurance policy.
Jog Bachelor, the clerk who filed the
WILL said it was not in his possession.
He had been asked to keep it secret,
he said. and he was under the impress
sion that Judge De Bolt held that it
was not a public record. He was told
that De Bolt had not made such a rul-
ing. He said the document was in the
possession of Henry Smith, clerk of the
courts.
Smith said he had not either the viii
or a copy of it. 1t was down town, in
a safe deposit vault, at the request of
the attorney who was probating it. In

asking for it's probate was apparently
In the same place. so that the mysteri-
Gus circumstances" whatever they
are, seem to affect the petition as well
as the will.
The usual procedure in such cases, as
provided by law. is the filing of will
with a petition fer its probate. A date
Is set for hearing the petition to pro-
bate, and in the meantime the will and

who may wish to examine them. The
case of an attorney filing such a docu-

leave it's possession is a very remark
able one.

The will of the late H. Alexander
Isenberg was filed for probate this
morning, but it doesn't appear to be in
the possession of the court. Not even
the petition for probate of it is on file
though it was filed. The will is kept
absolutely secret and was even allow
ed to pass back practically into the
possession of those who filed it, in or
der to aid in their requested plan of
secrecy as to the contents of this pub
lie document.
These remarkable proceedings, in de-
fance of all the law and custom in
such matters, were taken in Judge De
Bolts court and the judge, though ad-
hitting that the document is probably
q public one and should be filed as
such, stated that under the circum-
stances he felt that the request of Sc
cresy was a reasonable one. He de-
clined 60 interfere when asked to order
that the will be produced like any 9TH
er will or document placed of record.
He said that the family felt very SEN
sitive about the matter, and that Hen
ry E. Cooper, attorney for the estate,
had earnestly requested that it be kept
a secret, until regularly probated.
Under the circumstances I will not
order the clerk to show the WILL" said
De Bolt.
The judge was asked if he had order
ed the clerk not to show it, and said
that he had told his clerk that Cooper's
request was "a reasonable one"
Just what the circumstances" are is
a good deal of a mystery. The will
disposes of a very large number of le-
gacies. A life insurance policy fol
$125,OOO is understood to be part of the
estate.
Judge De Bolt said that it was not 6

jury finds a most awful state of af-

the jailor, the deputy jailor and two
guards-appointees of High Sheriff
Henry-for assault and battery on pri-
soners. The report severely condemns
the officials of the Jail, High Sheriff

HITS BACK
FORMER ATTORNEY GENERAL
ANTS AS COWARDS.

''I was certainly mad when l heard
or rather saw the accounts of the ac-
cusations against me-" writes former
Attorney General Andrews from
Shanghai to friend in town. "To my
mind the proposition is ridiculous. If
were in the stealing business is it
probable I would have taken or even
have discussed the matter of stealing
5000 from a japanese. For awhile
wished for an Aladdin's lamp that
would bring me back to Honolulu i'm
mediately, but this feeling passed off
when remembered the number of real
friends 1 had who would simply laugh
at the story"
This was in substance the letter re-
ceived today from Lorrin Andrews.

LONG FIGHT
JURORS KEPT AT WORK ALL
NIGHT RETURN A VERDICT AT
ABOUT DAYLIGHT.

After working all night, the jury in
the case of Godfrey against Rowland
brought in verdict this morning for
the plaintiff. The plaintiff sued as
trustee for Thomas Metcalf, who is de-
clared by the verdict to be the legti-
mate son of the late Frank Metcalf.
The property involved is said to be
worth $4,000. 1t is land on Alapai
street, stretching from Beretania to
Hotel.
The suit to eject the defendant, Mrs.
Helen Rowland, was begun about five
years ago, and has been to the Supreme
Court several times. A former verdict
for young Metcalf was set aside by the
Supreme Court on account of errors
during the trial. The trial this time,
before Judge Robinson and jury, last
ed about four weeks with night ses-
Nsions lately in order to finish it before
the end of the term. Yesterday the
court refused continuances and pro-
ceeded through the afternoon and even
ing.
The jurors were taken to supper
shortly before midnight but court did
not adjourn, and after their meal the
Jurors returned to the Judiciary build
ding and continued their discussion

VENTION IN UTAH.

Secretary Woods of the Promotion
Committee has replied to Governor
Carter's letter sending him the Salt
Lake City invitation II a convention
to promote travel in merica. Car
ter proposed that Woods suggest some
names of suitable delegates. In reply
Woods suggests that some of the MEM
Der of the Washington delegation ar
range to be in Salt Lake on January 25
the date of the convention. AS to the
purposes Of the convention, he says:
Il believe that this convention will
serve of distinct advantage to Hawaii
inasmuch as the attractions and ad-
vantages we have to offer will be
brought most forcibly to the attention
of so many bright and active men re-
presenting the very best element in
Western Promotion Development who
will be at Salt Lake at the time.
IF you find it impossible to secure
the right sort of a delegate, hope that
Governor Carter may send brief
communication to be read before the
conference which l know viii be re-

publicity.

PASS ORDINANCE
DESPITE VETO
COUNCIL STRONGLY FAV0RS
HILL STREET LIGHTS
MAYOR MALEER OBJECTS
City's Legislative Body Votes Unani-
mousIy to Adopt the Measure,
Declaring Chief Executives
Views Narrow

Mayor McAleer vetoed the ordinance
providing for the establishment of an
ornamental system of lights on Hill
street yesterday.
The mayor went into the question at
some length and discussed the case
on Broadway, Spring and Main streets
in his veto message, but he discussed
but one side of the evidence in his
argument.
He drew attention to the fact that
the outlying sections of the city are
poorly lighted and argued that the
money spent for the ornamental lights
should be used in establishing a better
system in the residence districts. In
the argument which he presented ne
took it for granted that Main street
would soon come in and want to be
fixed up with ornamental poles, thus
lighting the four principal streets of
the city. When all these are equipped
and in running order, the mayor said
1t will cost $4,000 per year to main
tain them, and he objects to adding
bill for the benefit of the district in
which the proposed lights are to be
located. The mayor closed by saying
that in his opinion the persons on
whose property the lights are put
should pay not only for the poles, but
for the current to light them.
Mayors View Is Narrow
Councilmen declare the view taken
by the mayor to be a narrow one, and
point to the fact that the district in
which the lights are to be located pays
about half of the taxes of the city,
and therefore should be worthy of and
deserve consideration at the hands of
the city's legislative body. At the
present time but $2500 per year Is ex-
pended in lighting the down town dis
trict, outside of the Broadway system,
which was recently started. The city's
electric bill amounts to something like
$40, 900. Thus the business district is
getting the benefit of less than two
per cent of the money paid out fo.'
lighting, while it pays half the light
ing bill of the city.
Immediately upon the reading of the
veto the ordinance was reconsdered
by the council and passed over the
mayors veto without a dissenting vote.
The old street lights on Broadway
were ordered down yesterday by the
council and distributed throughout the
needed. The electric company was
instructed to keep two of the new poles
on Broadway at the intersection Of
Temple, First, ETC., out to Ninth street,
lighted all night.
