KABUhA PRACTICE
IN 4 LAND DEAL

An equity suitIo cancel a deed, which
has been on before Judge Robinson for
two days, gives promise of some grand
jury business. The law against kahu-
given. Pinao, native woman living at
Aiea, is suing Mikalemi and his vie
Kleliikekuailiahi, alleging that they
used undue influence to induce her to
convey a piece of land to them.
According to the complainant's story
she had refused to make the convey
kuailiahi in the role of kahuna
threatened her with the visitation of
malignant spirits. Believing that the
woman had the power to do what she
said, Pinao signed the conveyance.
An instance of the professed kahu-
mas practice was related by the plain
revelation of the survival of the works
of ancient heathenism within an hours
drive of Honolulu. A sick boy, the
| plaintiff testified, was brought to kelii-
kekuailiahi for treatment. She made
Inecromantic passes of a tapa before the
boys eyes, then dosed him with ava
and brandy. A funeral resulted.
Whether or not the death was investi-
gated as an unattended case is a
| question that the Board of Health rec
ords might answer.

ants.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 31.-Re-
ports received from the army in Man.
churia show that while the peace
plenipotentiaries are preparing to
open negotiations which may result
in bringing the war to close, the
Russian soldiers at the front are not
relying on these efforts and are pre-
pairing to strike a blow which will
demonstrate their ability to continue
the strife indefinitely.
An account has just reached here
of speech which was made to the
soldiers by General Linievitch, the
commander-in-chief, in which he
said:
1--WE must prepare blow against
the Japanese which will prove that
Russia will be able to protract the
war indefinitely in the event that un.
favorable peace terms are offered by
the Japanese. Let the plenipotentia.
ries discuss peace, but for us we must
not think, OF It."

fully sustained and developments in
the scandal as Investigations proceed
have startled and amazed the produ-
